Fran Acciardo 2025 Gift Guide: Fran's Favorite Things

Next week at Thanksgiving when your mom or fabulous aunt asks you what you want for the holidays, you need to be prepared! Consider this inspiration for your Christmas list: my annual gift guide comprised only of my absolutely couldn't-live-without, tried and true, favorite things.

2025 Gift Guide: Boss & Coworker

Fran Acciardo 2025 Gift Guide: Boss & Coworker


Finding the perfect gift for your boss or coworker can be challenging... and annoying. When I did an Instagram poll a few weeks ago asking what Gift Guides you'd most like to see, a work gift guide was a top response! To be honest, I asked my friends, and none of us are really in the business (no pun intended) of getting coworkers or bosses gifts, but nonetheless, I am here to help! 


Whether you're navigating an office holiday gift exchange or just want to show appreciation for your favorite coworker, I think you'll find something here that works. I focused on finding thoughtful, practical, and affordable items. Most gifts fall under $50, and they're all relatively unisex gift ideas, so you can gift anyone on your team.

I’m so excited to kick off this year's assortment of gift guides by taking a peek at the items you loved most from last year. Consider this the gift guide warm-up before many new guides—from ideas for guys in your life, thoughtful gifts for your mom, special but easy ideas for coworkers, and of course, my wishlist, all coming between now and Thanksgiving!


Without further adieu, here are the nine best sellers from last year:

Happy November! What a fun October it was: a fall trip upstate, the annual Frantumnal escape to my aunt's house, and so many fun memories with friends. This weekend we dressed up for Halloween (Pink Panther and Inspector Clouseau!) and had a fun dinner party last night. Tonight we're heading to a party for our friend who ran the NYC marathon, too! But before that - have to share the moodboard!!!


Anyway - I hope you love this month's moodboard!
