<p id=”par-1_41″>Mail from <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/meghan-markle/”>Meghan Markle</a>. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, is reportedly gearing up to send some very special packages <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/british-royal-familys-quieter-christmas-year-king-charles.html/”>this Christmas</a>. Ahead, details on what’s inside, who’s getting them, and what Meghan hopes to achieve—hint: it’s <em>a lot</em>—by sending them out. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-meghan-s-meticulously-putting-together-christmas-gift-packages-for-the-who-s-who-of-hollywood”>Meghan’s ‘meticulously’ putting together Christmas gift packages for the ‘who’s who of Hollywood’</h2>
<p id=”par-2_52″>It seems Meghan’s getting a jump on Christmas gifts. Not ones for <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/prince-harry/”>Prince Harry</a>, or their children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, but something special for her celebrity friends. According to <a href=”https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/meghan-markle-jam-reputation/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Closer Magazine</a>, she’s putting some of her most beloved products in packages and gifting them to Hollywood’s “who’s who.” </p>
<p id=”par-3_33″>“Meghan has been meticulously curating gift packages filled with a selection of all her favourite [sic] things—and of course, plenty of her jam—to send to the who’s who of Hollywood,” an insider claimed. </p>
<p id=”par-4_23″>So, that means jam from her <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/meghan-markles-american-riviera-orchard-make-so-much-more-sense-something-different-lifestyle-brand-commentator-says-it-would-be-fantastic.html/”>American Riviera Orchard lifestyle brand</a>, which she sent to celebrity friends earlier in 2024, but what else? </p>
<p id=”par-5_55″>Meghan’s a longtime fan of Tignanello wine. It inspired the name of her blog, The Tig, which she closed before marrying the Duke of Sussex in May 2018. Cuyana totes may get a spot in Meghan’s Christmas gift packages. Per <a href=”https://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-baby-shower-thank-you-bag/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a>, they were reportedly part of the thank-you gifts for attending Meghan’s 2019 baby shower. </p>
<p id=”par-6_24″>Diptyque candles could also be included. They made occasional appearances on Meghan’s defunct Instagram and have been spotted in her and Harry’s California home.</p>

<p id=”par-7_39″>The Christmas gift packages go beyond a thoughtful gesture for Meghan. She’s reportedly hoping they’ll do double—even triple—duty come the holidays. Not just with friends and those in Hollywood, but with her new lifestyle brand and her own image. </p>
<p id=”par-8_57″>“While there is no doubt it’s about promoting her American Riviera Orchard brand,” the insider said, “it’s also about spreading goodwill and trying to remind people of her softer side. With Christmas around the corner, Meghan sees it as the perfect time to try to rebuild connections and is determined not to start 2025 surrounded by negativity.” </p>
<p id=”par-9_32″>Meghan, they added, has been feeling “increasingly lonely,” so she’s focusing on “strengthening friendships” via the Christmas gift packages. No expense is being spared because they are, in Meghan’s eyes, an “investment.” </p>
<p id=”par-10_35″>“She’s sending them out to all her friends and acquaintances, and is willing to spend a fortune and a whole lot of time because she sees it as an investment in her relationships,” they explained. </p>

<p id=”par-11_20″>What’s on Harry and Meghan’s calendar for Christmas? The pair haven’t publicly shared what they’ll be doing over the holidays. </p>
<p id=”par-12_62″>Will they celebrate at home before taking Archie and Lili to the Sussex family’s <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-harry-meghan-markle-make-royal-connection-clear-reported-portugal-home-buy.html/”>new vacation in Portugal</a>? Or will they have a U.K. Christmas at Althorp, Princess Diana’s childhood home? What about spending Christmas at Sandringham in Norfolk, England, with the rest of the royal family? Harry and Meghan haven’t had a royal Christmas in years—since 2018—and they’re reportedly not invited. </p>
<p id=”par-13_29″>Whatever they’re planning, the Sussexes haven’t revealed the details publicly—and they might never. Harry and Meghan are known to be private about family life save for the occasional comment. </p>
