Let's dive in to my Holiday Tarot Gift Guide
Pocket-Sized Decks
Since stockings have limited space, I think the perfect stocking stuffer is a pocket-sized tarot or oracle deck, especially ones in those cute little tins. You would even have enough space to fit a few of these adorable tiny decks. These days there are so many pocket versions available.
Let's start this list with some of my favorite pocket oracle decks - all 3 are from Hay House.
Do you struggle with yes or no questions with other oracle or tarot decks? If you do, then this teeny tiny pocket oracle is for you. It’s simple and to the point and will help offer you clarity when you need direction, guidance, and clear answers to those questions that can be hard to nail down with other decks. This 13-card oracle is a great addition to any divination collection. I reach for this one when I need a straightforward answer – yes or no. And with simple artwork, like a solitary owl, a crystal, a pocket watch, an hourglass, or an open book, the answers couldn’t be clearer.
No complex images to decipher to wonder if you’re landing on the right message, which some beginning readers struggle with, especially with tarot cards that can include complex symbolic associations hidden in the cards. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the message meant for you at the moment, which is frustrating. But it couldn’t be easier with this pocket oracle.
There are some direct answers like Yes, No, Unlikely, Go, The Time is Right, Not the Right Time, Let Go, or This is the Sign. But I love the different variations on the kinds of responses offered in this deck, giving us a clue if we are even going in the right direction or need to consider a new strategy or approach with cards like No Need to Worry, Reconsider, Choose a New Direction, or You’re Going in the Right Direction.
And the answer may not be a solid No. These cards offer you guidance on where to go from here and provide some hope that things could still go your way with a little effort on your part with cards like Get More Information or Listen to Your Intuition.
Just $9.99 which is a steal and the perfect price point for a stocking stuffer. This deck is from the same creator as the Witch’s Familiar Runic Oracle that made my holiday gift guide last year. Buy them as a pair for that special person in your life and surprise them with both for the holidays as a special little treat. Purchase the Crystal Ball Pocket Oracle here.
One of Hay House's top-selling decks now comes pocket-sized! This travel-sized edition of the Herbal Astrology Pocket Oracle by Adriana Ayales (Author) and Joséphine Klerks (Illustrator) was released June 2024 so you can now take it with you on the go to benefit from its insight anywhere, anytime.
This beautiful, naturalistic deck, comprised of 55 oracle cards would be the perfect stocking stuffer for your nature-loving friends and loved ones. These cards promote the ancient healing power of plants combined with the wisdom of astrology as these two worlds are blended for a truly powerful oracle. It’s alchemy at its finest, blending two ancient practices to boost the healing power each of those crafts bring to the table.
The mini guidebook provides the traditional uses, planetary correspondences, and the spiritual meaning behind each plant's energetic healing power to guide you on your healing path and to connect you to the natural world and your life purpose. Perfect for anyone that spends their time in nature or wants to connect more to the plant world and to the planetary bodies that influence our daily lives.
This pocket oracle was released in March 2024 and is perfect for the person in your life looking for guidance on their healing path or life path. It comes in a compact tin, making it perfect to slide into a purse or bag to take with you anywhere you roam.
The chunky mini guidebook will help you to connect with the healing energy of the rose, which Campbell says is a secret symbol for the ancient Mother or Goddess. These cards help you tune into her energy and spiritual teachings, aiding you through sometimes rocky and unsettling transitional periods of your life. This deck also amplifies the whispers of your soul that call to you daily.
Working with this deck will allow you to connect more deeply with your purpose and help you seed what you incarnated to share with the world. If you know you came here with a plan but feel lost at the moment, I highly recommend any and all of Rebecca Campbell’s decks. They each have helped gently nudge me back on path when I’ve found myself drifting momentarily in the dark, unable to see my way through the challenges I’ve faced.
This 44-card oracle deck opens the doorway to the physical and spiritual teachings of Mother Rose with activations included for each card in the guidebook. Speak these aloud to open these portals/pathways to your healing and awakening.
Any of Rebecca Campbell's decks like the Work Your Light Oracle and the Starseed Oracle along with this newest one would be gifts your loved one would appreciate! We all need help remembering just who we are and what we came here to accomplish. And her decks never fail to show us the way forward. Purchase the Rose Pocket Oracle here
One of my favorite tiny finds was the Palmistry Flashcard Deck by Rockpool Publishing. These flashcards make it so easy to pick up the artistry of palm reading. I love the fact that this flashcard format helps to teach us palmistry in small, digestible nuggets, which makes it much easier to absorb this information versus reading a chunky book on the subject.
The deck even comes with a cord to help link the flashcards all together so you can easily carry them with you and flip through the cards quickly and easily as you study these tips and techniques. Pick a card daily then study your palm to learn more about this art through the lines etched like a map of things to come, right on your palm. Each card shows an image on the front of the card with a line or symbol highlighted to focus on. And the back of the card presents the description of the marking on the palm to explore for the day. This format only takes a minute or two to absorb.
These small chunks of information are just enough to fit in a lesson each day. You could even fit in a few if you have time. The cards show us that every line and mark on our palms is part of our essence. Who we are is imprinted on our palm as a map of our fate, our talents, and events we will encounter throughout our lives. The cards include heart and head lines, thumb length, finger shapes, fate lines, and of course life lines. The deck includes 50 cards created by Anna Comerford who is a palmistry expert. If you or your loved ones are new to palmistry this is the perfect way to get started. I know it’s helping me to explore this ancient form of divination that I find so intriguing. Slip this into a stocking to be sure Christmas morning is fun and interesting as it will have you and your family studying each other’s palms to discover what makes you tick and what’s in store for you down the line. Just $19.33 on Amazon - Purchase the Palmistry Flashcards here
Wild Unknown Pocket Archetypes Deck by Kim Krans
Kim Krans has created some of my absolute favorite tarot and oracle decks (The Wild Unknown deck series). And her Archetype cards are now available in a pocket round tin. These small round cards are easier to hold and shuffle than the larger round full sized cards previously released, and her messages in the guidebook are always so enlightening and insightful.
I always feel like I've attended a class after reading with her cards. She packs so much into these cards and guidebooks. And this oracle has 78 cards which is a fabulous size for an oracle deck. These gorgeous circular oracle cards are divided into four suits: The Selves, The Places, The Tools, and The Initiations. Purchase the Wild Unknown Pocket Archetypes here just $17.56 on Amazon.
This is another fav from last year that I had to mention again. These teeny tiny cards by Lorraine Anderson contain practical spells that you can implement quickly and easily to bring in more abundance and healing energy to manifest your greatest desires. You can use these cards to tap into your inner magic by including practical magic into your daily life. They're easy, simple spells to attract money, abundance, protection, love, and healing into your life. And there are even spells for banishment if you feel you need extra protection around you. Easy but effective. And they're small enough to travel with or keep in your car or your desk at work. And of course, they're the PERFECT stocking stuffer at $12.95 on Amazon (perfect price for a magical treat this holiday season). Amplify your healing and manifestation and tap into your inner magic with these magical enchantment cards by Rockpool Publishing. Purchase this little book of spells here
The Light Seers Pocket Tarot
The pocket version of the Lights Seers Tarot is a must buy for any tarot lover. It's my favorite tarot deck of all time! Slip this cutie into a stocking and watch your loved one light up when they unpack their goodies. One of the things I love the most about the Light Seers Tarot is Chris Anne’s use of light. It’s so vibrant, colorful, and uplifting to work with. Whenever anyone asks for recommendations for decks to start with, this deck is always my go to recommendation. It's perfect for lightworkers, creatives/artists, dreamers, beginners, etc. And it now comes in a tiny tin! Here's my longer deck review of The Light Seers Tarot - $17.99 on Amazon - buy here
And Prisma Visions Tarot by James Eads is now available in a smaller version in a tin. I have the full-sized versions of the Prisma Visions and Light Visions decks which run around $50 each, but these pocket versions are $25, which is a great way to own a gorgeous indie deck for the price of a mass-market deck. Even if the person you’re shopping for has these decks, everyone wants a pocket version of their favorite deck to carry with them on the go. So, do some probing and find out what their favorite decks are and see if they have a small version that you can slide into their stocking this year.
Gifts For Kids
Rockpool Publishing has an adorable kids oracle called My First Magic Oracle. It’s so cute! This 42-card deck by Gwenaelle Dudek helps kids explore their emotions, learn to express and share their feelings, and process their thoughts, fears, worries, and feelings in healthy ways. This deck helps them learn more about themselves and how they view the world around them. The creator, Gwenaelle, is an illustrator, author, and personal fulfillment coach. This deck doesn’t focus on prediction, instead its focus is on self-reflection, self-awareness, emotion regulation, and behavior modification to include healthier habits in their daily life.
The cards are very bright and colorful and showcase fun-loving animals, flowers, rainbows, plenty of sunrays and nature scenes with kids engaging in outdoor activities from exercising and playing to planting seeds in a garden to care for the planet. I find that the cards are very encouraging with messages likeBe Brave, Know That You Can Do It, Do your Best, and Congratulate Yourself.My First Magic Oracle(buy here) is my favorite pick for stocking stuffers for young readers from the ages of 4 through around 10 years. It would be a perfect first oracle to work with to introduce young readers to card pulling and journaling about the cards. And it will fit right into a stocking! $19.95 on Amazon. I give a more thorough review of this deck here.
Other gifts for kids, include a small charm set, a journal, and laminated tarot sheets for the tarot card meanings if they’re into tarot.
And Writualhas a Kid’s Tarot Journal for just $28 (shown above)! It includes 186 pages for single-card draws, journaling, coloring pages, and tarot card meaning cheat sheets to help them learn the card meanings. Learning to identify and process emotions is such a valuable tool. Teach your kids how to journal about their feelings, which helps them learn how to cope with emotions when they feel upset, angry, sad, or lonely. I wish we taught this skill in schools.
These worry crystals from Writual (shown above) are just $8 and are adorable! Slip these into a stocking to help soothe your loved one. Writual has a whole line to choose from for protection, calming your system, grounding, confidence, etc. Small enough to slip into a backpack or jacket pocket to carry to school to keep calming vibes with them at all times.
And if you have teens, tarot jewelry is a cute idea. Writual has jewelry like necklaces and bracelets to choose from.
Divinatory Accessories!
Etsy Tarot Spread Cloth (shown above)
For diviners, I always recommend tarot pouches and spread cloths because they fold so nicely and easily fit in any stocking.
Spread cloths are wonderful to lay out on tables and throw your spread onto. There are so many to choose from. If you know the person’s favorite color or hobbies, you can find the perfect pattern that will make them feel extra special when they read. Easy to find on Amazon and Etsy in all kinds of colors, themes and patterns. Link to one shown above here - this is for a celtic cross spread which is perfect for beginner readers.
Tarot pouches are great for storing decks outside of their boxes, and you can personalize them based on personality.
OR buy them a beautiful wooden crystal grid where they can set up grids with their own crystals and set intentions that help with their healing and yearly goals. Here's a crystal grid off amazon here - shown above.
Writual also has incense holders, crystal candle holders, altar candles just to name a few more divination accessories that any diviner would love and use on a daily basis.
Writual’s tarot stampsand tarot stickers would also fit in stockings and are exciting gifts to receive. What tarot reader doesn’t love tools to help them document their daily or weekly tarot pulls? The tarot stamps are shown above. I recommend gifting them a Writual planner as well but those are not the right size for a stocking so that would be a gift to wrap and place beside the stocking.
This planner includes astrological transits, dates for planetary retrogrades, and new and full moons. There’s also space for a 3 card pull to be documented for every day of the year. You’d be setting your loved one up with a gift that will help them stay organized and motivated for the entire year.
Tarot Themed Gifts
For larger gifts that need to be wrapped instead of tucked in a stocking, there are tons of goodies that I know I would love. Tarot themed mugs and tarot candles are such nice gifts that can be enjoyed all year long. Or pick out a nice card display or stand where they can display their card pulls to enjoy and reflect on throughout the week. There are so many options on Esty so choose something that matches their preferred aesthetic.
I highly recommend this deck if you need a deep, reflective deck for the later months of winter. I pull out the Seasons of the Witch: Yule Oracle (also a great holiday gift) to kick off the holiday season in November. But once the holiday cheer has passed, the Imbolc Oracleis a great deck to help us settle into a deep analysis of where the colder months are directing us before we're ready to emerge from hibernation and embrace the warmth of spring. Since December is such a hustle and bustle month, January, February, and March are great months to dive deeply into our psyche to finish up the shadow work needed during this time of year. These wintery scenes depict our gradual shift from the colder temps to the light warmth of spring as it inches closer, but some of the darker, more reflective images remind us that there’s still shadow work to be done before we depart winter for good. Check out my deck review of the Imbolc Oracle here. The entire line of the Seasons of the Witch Oracle Decks from Rockpool Publishing is fabulous!!
All of these have such beautiful winter scenes and vibes, which is sure to get anyone in the mood for the holidays. To hear more about those decks, check out Healing Thru Tarot PodcastEp. 18 where I dive into my favorite winter decks, and I cover the Yule Oracle in detail in Ep. 32 which is the episode on Healing with the Witch Archetype where I also talk about the Samhain deck as well.
Gifts for the New Year
Who doesn't need a journal? When you don't know what someone wants or needs, a journal is a great gift idea because it's something we can all use, and the new year is a perfect time to crack open a brand new journal! Ryve also offers gratitude journals with a variety of features including affirmation and gratitude journaling, self-reflections, and more. And they're gorgeous!It's available in three colors: beige, green, and navy. Journaling is therapeutic and healing! Personalize your innermost thoughts in these elegant daily journals.
Another can't miss gift is a desk calendar. At the New Year, we're all looking for ways to begin anew, and a new themed desk calendar can help us start the year off with the vibe we're hoping to maintain all year long whether it be inspirational, motivating, or comical. I prefer inspirational ones to keep me focused, uplifted, and empowered through even the toughest parts of the year.
Ryve's beautiful desk calendars are designed to inspire us with positive quotes, affirmations, and reflective prompts every day.
They include uplifting quotes and thoughtful questions. They come in three soothing colors: pink, red, and navy. I love a little dose of inspiration daily. In this fast paced world, we have to find ways to ground ourselves and remind ourselves to take a breath and connect to our mission in life. And with these beautiful desk calendars we can tap into that inspiration in under a minute a day.
Coloring is therapeutic and is a gift that can be enjoyed by all ages!
Coloring, like journaling, reduces stress, occupies our mind, releases negative and taxing emotions, and calms our mind, body and spirit. Adult coloring books are all the rage these days! This is a can't miss gift. Ryve's coloring books offer a range of stress-reducing features, including coloring pages, and self-reflection prompts. It's an all-in-one tool designed to help you unwind and find calm amidst the chaos of everyday.
And how about gifting a copy of one of my fictional divination books. There are 4 books in my series. Start with book 1 - The Call of the Cards (The Divining Sisters Book 1). Book 2 - We Divine Three and Book 3 - The Threads of Fate both released in 2023 and Book 4, The Unbinding released summer 2024. They make for great gifts for diviners. These novels feature my favorite type of divination – tarot. The Divining Sisters Series follows a group of witches, healers, and diviners who reincarnate lifetime after lifetime and reunite with their coven so they can fulfill a mission of keeping their craft of divination, healing, and magic alive for future generations. Perfect for any divination enthusiast. Available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Find the books on my author website author.heatherhardison.com
Here There Be Witches, new newest novel, is out now! Released August 2025.
Book Blurb for Here There Be Witches
In 1645, at a time when England was gripped by superstition and an intense fear of the supernatural, the infamous Witchfinder General, Matthew Hopkins, roamed the countryside on a mission to root out and cleanse the country of witches. Casting a shadow over the land, these hunts scarred generations of women for centuries, leaving many afraid to acknowledge or nurture their healing powers and intuitive gifts.
Caught amidst this frenzy, three sisters, Alexa, Iris, and Hattie Wardwell, fight to keep their coven intact to keep their knowledge of the old ways alive for future generations. Despite their vows to only wield their powers for good, these sisters find themselves ensnared in the deadly web of accusations and persecution that grips their village.
As whispers of witchcraft spread like wildfire, a rival witch with a vendetta that spans lifetimes aids the Witchfinder General in hunting Alexa and her sisters down. As the flames of paranoia rage, these sisters face heart-wrenching choices while weighing the value of their lives and those they’ve sworn to protect, knowing all can’t be saved.
Set against the backdrop of one of history’s darkest chapters, Here There Be Witches is a haunting reminder of the generational scars left by this unimaginable injustice and the enduring courage it took to defend one’s beliefs and rights to practice their craft in the midst of a wave of hysteria that spread throughout the nation, tragically wiping out generations of wise women and healers.
It’s a prequel of sorts but can stand alone because it chronicles one of the past witch lives of the main characters in The Divining Sisters Series. If you want to read all my novels, I would suggest reading them in the order I wrote them starting with Book 1 in The Divining Sisters Series – The Call of the Cards. I say that because I think it’s more fun and interesting to discover the past lives as the characters discover them on their awakening journey. But if you aren’t sure if you want to commit to a series, you can read Here There Be Witches on its own. I wrote it to be able to be a stand alone novel for that reason.
Where you can find Here There Be Witches
Here There Be Witches is available in paperback on Amazon and Barnes and Noble and the eBook is on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple Books, Smash words, Kobo, Google Play & more. Purchase on Amazon here
