Grossy Gift Guides 2025
One of the best and most surprising parts of my day is getting asked for links to all the things I share on my social media! It’s always so amazing to me how much interest there is in not only my own belongings, but in the belongings of everyone else in my life as well…especially Gus, Gus’ mom Cath, my mom Jackie, and of course, Bimpy!
I decided that these people I love so much would be my muses for my gift guides this year! From kitchen faves, to cozy candles, to cleaning supplies, to scrumptious treats - I truly hope you find something to give a special someone (including yourself) in your life this holiday season!
XOXO, Your Favorite Gay Santa, Grossy

- Rachel Antonoff Pasta Apron - How dare Rachel Antonoff make an apron so perfect? It comes as no surprise, as her famous pasta puffer has been viral on the internet for the past few years now, but it has never made more sense to me than on this apron!
- Smiley Face Wooden Spatula - My happy little friend in the kitchen has gotten an upgrade! It is now made of wild cherry wood, and features a rounded handle and an angled spatula, making it truly the one utensil that everyone in your life needs!

- Let's Party: Recipes and Menus for Celebrating Every Day - Even the most seasoned hostess will find my latest cookbook, which is all about entertaining, useful. It’s filled with tips and tricks for gathering people together around a delicious, thoughtful and executable menu, of which there are 16 in this book!
- Metal Cookbook Stand - I’m biased, but this cookbook stand is the perfect gift to bundle with one of my cookbooks, or any cookbook. While the internet is flooded with trillions of recipes you can cook off your phone, there is still nothing quite like cooking from a book.
- Crow Canyon Splatter Vase/Pitcher - We are huge Crow Canyon enamelware fans in this house, and often give it as gifts to friends and family due to its endlessly usable nature. This versatile pitcher is a stunning gift that can be used for so many things, from displaying floral arrangements to pouring party drinks! Use DAN10 for 10% off your purchase.
- Gap VintageSoft Crewneck Sweatshirt and Gap VintageSoft Wideleg Sweatpants - Cath lives in this set. It’s superrrr soft and looks/feels much more expensive than it is. Every cozy queen knows that being cozy doesn’t mean you can’t also look chic.
- Silk Road Teas Gift Box - Cath and Ned (Gus’ mom and dad) own and operate Silk Road Teas. While all of their varieties are delicious, this gift box contains a white, oolong and black tea, creating the perfect sampling for the tea lover in your life. Use GROSSY15 for 15% off of your purchase.
- HAY La Faccia Tea Cup - Have you ever seen a chicer tea cup? Perfect for tea, but also coffee, matcha, juice, or even a candle or some cut flowers. Once again, we love a versatile gift!
- Bodum Multicolored Tea Pot - Yet again, I’m sensing a trend! Beautiful teas are deserving of a beautiful pot! This is the one.
- Furbish City Ornament – Spoiler alert: I’m literally gifting Cath this San Francisco matchbox ornament for Christmas/Hanukkah (we celebrate both!). Furbish has the best holiday ornaments on the market, ranging from various cities, to sassy sayings, to Ina Garten! Use GROSSY20 for 20% off of your purchase.
- The Six Bells Menorah - This gorgeous ceramic menorah makes any Hanukkah celebration that much more special. Gus and I look forward all year to pulling this out to use when Cath comes to visit for the holiday. Use GROSSY for 10% off of your purchase.
- All-Clad Waffle Iron - There is nothing cozier than holiday morning moments with the whole family, sipping coffee, making breakfast,talking about the night before. For mother-in-laws, this is often the only gift they really want. My way to bring this gift to life is to make waffles for the family, and this is the only waffle maker I trust to do that.
- Holcomb Studio Wedge Cheese Knives - Cheese knives are a go-to gift of mine because who doesn’t love cheese and also they really change cheese consumption for the better. These stunning cheese knives will level up any charcuterie board, expertly tackling hard cheese, soft cheese and every cheese in between.
- Murray's Cheese Explorer's Club Membership - Cheese knives, of course, call for cheese. Gift a Murray’s cheese club membership and keep your favorite Bimpy stocked up with perfectly curated assortments of cheese.
- Una Pizza Napoletana Panettone - Panettone are an Italian-American holiday tradition, meant to be shared with family members throughout the season. Unless, of course, you are Bimpy, who can take on an entire pannettone in one sitting. This is why we keep him well stocked, and luckily GoldBelly offers shipping on the best pannettone I know from Una Pizza Napoletana.
- Ayoh Mayo 4-Pack Sando Claus Holiday Box Set - In the words of the team at Ayoh, “Sando Claus is coming to town”. And he wants to make sure your sandwiches are lathered with Ayoh, the newest mayo on the block. Ayoh comes in several delicious flavors that make sandwiches more fun, all of which are included in this gift box!
- Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches Build Your Own Box - These are the best ice cream sandwiches I’ve ever had. I keep my freezer stocked with these for last minute entertaining, but gifting the best sellers box to your favorite sweet tooth in your life is an incredible idea because each flavor is better than the last
- Gap Argyle Cardigan - Bimpy is the undefeated Cardigan King. Every year I get him a new one for Christmas, and this one is going to look so cute on him. You don’t have to be 103 to be an adorable grandpa, though - this cardigan will look great on anyone!
- Project Paulie Tomato Beanie benefitting Italian Home for Children - My favorite tomato beanies go with everything! This one benefits Italian Home for Children, which provides an integrated network of powerful and effective programs to help children and families with emotional, behavioral, and educational challenges thrive in their communities. Use GROSSY20 for 20% off of your purchase.
- GrossyPelosi 2025 Holiday Cookie Tin - SOLD OUT. The Limited Edition 2025 GrossyPelosi cookie tin makes a great gift for the Grossy Girl in your life, and this year’s design may be our cutest yet! Bonus points if you fill it with homemade cookies!
- Donation to SAGE - SAGE is near and dear to my heart. Since 1978, SAGE has led the way in advocating for policies, services, and resources that empower LGBTQ+ elders to live openly and authentically. Making a donation in the name of your favorite elder family member is a great way to spread the wealth this holiday season.
- J.Crew Flannel Pajama Set - Gus is always cold and loves to snuggle up one of his many sets of flannel PJs. He’s not alone, I love to wear them too, and oftentimes, we match!
-
Alex Mill Canvas Tote - I am so obsessed with this canvas bag - it’s a tote-al mix of utilitarian and fashion. Plus, it’s monogrammable, which makes any gift extra special. Since I am a huge Alex Mill fan, I have to suggest you check out the entire Alex Mill Gift List here.
- Subu Indoor/Outdoor Slippers - What’s not to love about a slipper you can wear inside AND outside? Bonus points: They are stain and water resistant.
- Toyo Stackable Metal Storage Box - Does your boyfriend have a bunch of little things he leaves all over the house? Same. This colorful storage box is perfect for all of his pens, pads, tools and more. A metal murse if you will!
- L.L. Bean Waxed-Canvas Log Carrier - Gus finds his peace all fall and winter keeping our fireplaces going, and this log carrier is perfect for him for grabbing plenty of outdoor wood all winter long without making a mess indoors, which is how I find my peace.
- GrossyPelosi Big Italian Sandwich Puzzle - Speaking of fireplaces, Gus and I love puzzling by the fire with guests this time of year. While this puzzle is admittedly on the more difficult end of puzzles, it does come with a recipe, and when it’s finished it can be Mod Podge’d together and proudly framed!
- D.S. & Durga Portable Fireplace Candle - I’m sensing a trend here!!! We are a big candle household and D.S & Durga is always the candle that Gus reaches for when it’s his turn to burn. Their scents are completely unique and this allows you to bring coziness with you no matter what room you are in.
- Donation to the ASPCA - If you haven’t heard, Gus really wants to get a dog. While we cannot manage the logistics of dog ownership currently, a donation to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in honor of the (future) pet owner in your life is a great way to honor them.
- Blockshop Textiles x GrossyPelosi Tomato Robe - Grossy House Rules state that all moms (and all kinds of moms) must own at least one robe from Blockshop Textiles. They cannot buy it themselves, it must be gifted to them by a loved one. That’s where you come in! Use GROSSY15 for 15% off of your purchase.
- Rototo Checkerboard Slipper Socks - Jackie is the queen of slippers, and almost all of them are actually a form of a sock with grips on the bottom. Her reason? They are easily washable, of course. She’s really onto something, and she now has me hooked on this strategy as well via these adorable slipper socks.
- Canopy Air Purifier - My mom has a method for cleaning everything, even the air! Her secret method? An air purifier, of course. No one is doing air purification (and humidification!) quite like Canopy.
- Crow Canyon Splatter Multi-Purpose Bowl Set - These bowls are great used as mixing bowls, serving bowls, or storage containers for leftovers and beyond. My mom even uses them for her various cleaning and soaking potions. They’re easy to nest and store, too! Use DAN10 for 10% off your purchase.
- Dyson Cordless Vacuum - I literally texted my mom and said “favorite vacuum right now?” and she replied “Dyson cyclone V-10 or any newer model”. For gals like me and my mom, few things bring more joy than a reliable vacuum.
- Mamisan Rubber Cleaning Gloves - Behind every clean queen there’s a pair of good cleaning gloves. This brand is widely loved across the internet for their grippy fingers and their extra long sleeves. Plus, “mamisan” translates to “mommy hands” in Korean!
- Hoka Bloom Bondi - Super moms rarely sit down, and therefore deserve the most comfortable sneakers in all the land. Enter: the unisex Hoka Bondi. I bought myself these extremely “mom” floral embroidered Bondis this year. I can't stop wearing them and everyone compliments them!
- YETI Rambler 42 oz Tumbler - My mom has been preaching about “staying hydrated” for as long as I can remember. That means she has also had a gigantic water bottle in her hand for as long as I can remember, often offering me sips of it as a way of showing she cares. As we are a YETI family, this one is a favorite - it holds plenty of water while still fitting into the cup holder in your car, which is a must for a mom-on-the-go.
