Let’s be real — we know you’re like us and scroll through TikTok for hours on end. If you’re FYP is all things beauty, get-ready-with-me’s and product hauls, this is the gift guide for you.
It’s not just you, either. We’re all about “vanilla girl aesthetic” — the TikTok phenomenon that hasn’t left our social scrolling.
If you aren’t familiar with the trend, here’s the debrief: it consists of all things trendy (think: Stanley tumblers and juicy lip balms) that are also neutral, “clean”-looking and undeniably grab-worthy.
So, the New York Post did some research on TikTok (naturally) and outlined some of our favorite vanilla girl aesthetic gifts so all you have to do is shop and satisfy your shopping crave. Oh, and these are gifts you’ll want to buy for yourself, in addition to your loved ones.
Allow us to bow down to the Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState Stainless Steel Tumbler with Lid and Straw. Not only is it a No.1 Amazon best-seller but it’s one of our favorite products that truly never leaves our side. Oh, and it makes the perfect gift, with multiple size options available.
The Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm is one of our favorite lip balms that has a concrete place on our nightstands, in our work bags (and, pretty much in our back pockets). Just shy of $25, it leaves your lips nourished and glimmering — the juicy essential we recommend stocking up on.
Fulfill your cozy dreams with the UGG Tazz Shearling Braided Slippers. They’re one of our most-worn shoes — whether indoors or outdoors — and its vanilla exterior, braided detailing and plush feel make them a shining star gift worth giving (for yourself and your loved ones).

Meet the loungewear staple we always wear while working from home or adventuring on hikes alike. The lululemon Scuba Oversized Half-Zip Hoodie is second to none in terms of practicality, comfort and quality. Not to mention, you’ll be ultra-comfy with a pair of leggings.
The JW PEI Gabbi Ruched Faux Leather Hobo Handbag has been making headlines (including ours) and is a designer-fledging bag that’s less than $100. With incredible ruched detailing, it’s the ideal accessory for a GNO (that’s “girls’ night out,” for short).
Take the vanilla girl aesthetic to the next level with the Voluspa Santal Vanille Glas Jar Candle. It’s a chic, sweet-smelling home decor option that starts at $20 — with an aesthetically pleasing jar design to match. Rest assured, it’s a quality option for anyone on your list.
We can’t recommend the tried-and-true classic shoes enough. The Nike Air Max 1 Shoes are the epitome of the vanilla girl aesthetic, offering that carefree, neutral and must-have quality about them. Not to mention, the brand is podiatrist-recommended.
Gift a luxe designer jewelry piece this holiday season with the Tory Burch Kira Enamel 7mm Bracelet. We love its simple elegance, clad with the brand’s gold logo embossed at the center. Oh, and it’ll complete your arm candy stack with your favorite watch.
We scream, you scream, we all scream for — Amazon. Shop the brand’s Mafulus Oversized Crewneck Batwing Sweater, one of our favorite wintertime staples to pair with your best pair of jeans. Yes, please.
If you’re all about sweet smelling perfumes that will make you feel fresh and clean (without giving you a headache), the Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere Eau de Toilette is our top choice. It looks elegant when situated on your dresser, and is the ideal spritzer to travel with.
