Nellie's Nice List: A Holiday Gift Guide

Posted on

Let’s talk about the peppermint-scented elephant in the room: giving cleaning products as a holiday gift can feel… risky. It sits somewhere between socks and a blender. Practical, yes, but also one step away from a “Wait, do you think my house is gross?” side-eye.

But here’s the thing: Nellie’s isn’t “boring cleaning stuff.” We’re fun, planet friendly, delightfully nostalgic, and truly useful magic. And once people try our products, they talk about them like they just discovered fire.

So whether you’re shopping for a clean freak, a new homeowner, the friend who’s always hosting, or someone who definitely shrunk a sweater this year (no judgment), we’ve got something Nice-List-worthy with their name on it.

For the Host With the Most

Dish Butter

This is the gift that says, “I love you… and I love that you fed me five times this year.” Dish Butter is cute, long-lasting, and way more fun than liquid soap. Think tiny butter dish vibes, except it leaves plates sparkling and grease-free.

Pair it with a set of Swedish Dish Cloths and BOOM, functional and cute. 

For the Person Who'd Marry Their Vacuum if They Could

WOW TOO Bundle

Look, some people like gadgets, and some people love gadgets. The WOW TOO Bundle is the ultimate mop upgrade, a powerhouse set that makes floors shine effortlessly, leaving them with a light lemongrass scent. The WOW TOO mop is sleek, efficient, and the WOW TOO Bundle comes with everything they need to conquer holiday cookie crumbs, pine needles, and whatever the dog dragged in. 

For the "Pet" Parent

Fresh Pet Bundle 

Pets bring the joy, the cuddles, and the occasional mystery smell that makes you go, “How… and why?” The Fresh Pet Bundle is the gift that lovingly says, “I adore your furry friend, and I’d also like to keep breathing normally.” It’s got everything you need to freshen up fur, beds, blankets, toys, and all the cozy spots they’ve claimed (including the ones they promised were “off-limits”).

For the "New" Parent

Baby Laundry Soda

New parents get a lot of gifts. Some are adorable, some are loud, and some are destined to live at the bottom of the toy bin forever. The last thing they need is another kitschy onesie for "Mommy's Little Moose." Get them something they will use, constantly, Baby Laundry Soda. It's gentle, safe, fragrance-free, and tough enough to tackle the mysterious stains babies produce daily. It's the kind of gift that says, "I care about you, your sleep, and your sanity."

For the Person Who Always Wants to Try "That Thing You Use"

The Host Bundle

We all have that friend who borrows something and then never gives it back, or starts to use your tried-and-true products and then pretends they were the one who discovered it. Give them the gift that they'll never forget, filled with Nellie's most loved products. This bundle includes Laundry Soda, Oxygen Brightener, WOW Stick, Swedish Dish Cloths, Dish Butter, and a Kitchen Brush!

Our Final Thoughts: Yes, Cleaning Products Make AMAZING Gifts

Are they traditional? No.

Are they thoughtful, planet friendly, nostalgic, and genuinely useful? Absolutely.

Nellie's gifts are the perfect blend of practical magic and "I know you well enough to give you something you'll actually use." And honestly, nothing says love quite like helping someone conquer holiday messes with a little sparkle!

Happy gifting, and may all your stocking be stuffed with good, clean fun
