The 2022 SMT Royal Gift Guide is here!

So many fun, fashionable ideas for you or the royal watchers on your list.

Happy holidays, friends! As a newsletter subscriber, you are getting the very first look at the So Many Thoughts 2022 Royal Gift Guide. I hope this assortment makes everything a little bit more stylish and a lot more fun as you craft your wish list and shop for loved ones.

This tradition of ours has gotten bigger each year, so I’ve broken this gift guide into smaller parts. Each collection has a theme, including Remembering Queen Elizabeth II, Royal Reads, as well as (my fave!) Support the SMT Community featuring small businesses among us. You’ll also find my personal picks in there, too.

I’ve included previews below; click on the links for more. Happy shopping!

Click to shop: Remembering Queen Elizabeth II

Give the gift of nostalgia to celebrate the life of the history-making monarch. There are a couple of her favorite fashions on here (I’m saving up for her signature black bag) along with style nods and tree trimming ideas.

Click to shop: Royal fashion

The exact pieces worn by Catherine, the Princess of Wales, and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. Trust me when I say there’s something super special about wearing (or carrying!) a piece with a royal connection. If you give one of these as a gift, make sure you note that in the card — such a thoughtful touch.

Click to shop: Royal warrants

When it comes to Windsor favorites, we must talk about royal warrants. These goods are “granted as a mark of recognition to people or companies who have regularly supplied goods or services” to the most senior members of the royal household, according to the royal family’s website. Truly a present fit for a queen (or king!).

Click to shop: Royal reads

Book recommendations for the royal reader of any age! Whether your kids have questions about the Queen or you can’t get enough royal content after binging The Crown, this list has something for everyone.

PS: Know a royal enthusiast? Gift them a paid subscription to this newsletter to stay up-to-date on all the royal happenings.

Click to shop: My favorite things

Cue Julie Andrews! I have found a few things I just adore this year. There are some wardrobe must-haves on my list (including my super flattering mid-rise Madewell jeans) as well as beauty staples (obsessed with that Sunday Riley serum) and, obviously, THE COAT.

Click to shop: Royal mementos

This fun assortment of souvenirs is filled with clever ways to wink at your interest in the Windsors. Take your morning coffee in a Queen mug, jot down your thoughts in a Diana journal, or head for a stroll with your Paddington tote. Stocking stuffers galore!

Click to support: The SMT Community!

When I asked for your recommendations for my gift guides, I was so moved by the breadth of talent and expertise in our community! THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to write. Below are 12 small, SMT community-owned businesses to shop this season.

Wishing you the best as the holiday season begins!
