Happy Black Friday week from your shopping bestie! Everything on this list has earned its place through years of real personal use — from the Oura Ring I've worn for 4 years straight, to the Ring Concierge jewelry I've been collecting for 8 years, to the Kindle Paperwhite my mother-in-law and I both use daily since Christmas four years ago.
Let's make your holiday shopping easy! I've organized everything into two categories: Gifts for the House and Gifts for Her.
Pro-tip - download the Phia app and browser extension before online shopping. This digital shopping assistant will automatically pop-up on websites and show you if/where you can get a better deal!
🏠 GIFTS FOR THE HOUSE
☕ BREVILLE BARISTA EXPRESS ESPRESSO MACHINE
The Deal: $150 off — now $549 (regularly $699)
Where: Amazon
Let me tell you why this machine is genuinely one of the best investments my husband and I have ever made. We've had our Breville for 5.5 years, and we make 2-4 coffees a day at home instead of buying them at the office or a coffee shop.
Here's the math:
Over the past 5.5 years, we've made approximately 6,021 coffees at home. If we'd bought those same coffees out at $4-8 each, we would have spent $24,084 to $48,168.
Our actual cost? About $3,711 total (including the machine and buying beans in bulk).
That's a savings of $20,373 to $44,457 over 5.5 years.
The machine literally paid for itself in less than a month. We now save between $308-$673 PER MONTH by making coffee at home.
Why I love it: The PID temperature control ensures perfect extraction every time, and the low-pressure pre-infusion feature brings out incredible flavor. We order our beans in bulk (which keeps the cost around $0.40-0.60 per cup), and honestly, our home coffee is better than most coffee shops.
Black Friday Deal: $150 off brings it to $549. After using ours daily for 5.5 years, I can confidently say this is one of the smartest purchases we've ever made. It's not just a coffee maker — it's a money-printing machine disguised as a beautiful countertop appliance.

Where: Use my referral link for extra savings!
I've been wearing an Oura Ring for four years, and it's genuinely one of the smartest investments I've made in my health. This isn't just another fitness tracker — it's like having a personal health scientist on your finger 24/7.
Why I'm obsessed:
After four years of data, I can tell you exactly what affects my sleep, when I'm actually recovered enough for a hard workout, and how my cycle impacts my energy levels. The Oura Ring has taught me to listen to my body in ways I never did before. As a Pvolve trainer, this data is GOLD.
What it tracks:
Sleep stages (deep, REM, light)
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) — best recovery indicator
Resting Heart Rate — continuous monitoring
Body Temperature — tracks trends, predicts cycles
Activity & Movement
Readiness Score — tells you if you should push hard or rest
Real-time stress tracking
Cycle tracking & predictions
Gen 4 upgrades:
All-titanium design (lighter, more durable)
Recessed sensors (smoother, more comfortable)
Improved accuracy
8-day battery life
Real-time heart rate monitoring

Silver/Black: $249 (30% off)

My nutritionist recommended I start taking AG1 back in January when I did a gut test, and I LOVE this stuff! While I don't take it every single day at this point, it's become an essential part of my wellness routine — especially when I travel. I always bring the travel powder packs along to shake into a water bottle. It's the easiest way to get my nutrition in on the go.

Why I love it:
It tastes good (seriously!), mixes easily with water or coconut water, and I can actually feel the difference in my energy and digestion. The travel packs are a game-changer — single-serve pouches that are TSA-friendly and perfect for throwing in my bag. Whether I'm traveling for work, heading to a yoga retreat, or just having a busy week, AG1 keeps my nutrition consistent.
