Archives for October 2022

1. Nothing better than fresh luxe linen sheets! They have so many colors but oatmeal or the new gingham print is my favorite. $250
2. Made For Living – so much to appreciate in one little book. $30
3. Fellow French Press – perfect for those coffee filled mornings or afternoons. $99
4. Boucle stripe throw because one can never have enough blankets. Especially at this time of year. $150
5. WYC crewneck – it’s cozy and cute. Trust me on this one.

1. Tonies – we ordered these for the boys this year! I’ve heard amazing things and love the concept. They are currently having bundle sales which is awesome. Plus, this cute Etsy display for it seals the deal. (Tonies Set $130 / Cloud display $65)
2. Race car track – it’s vertical which I like and it will entertain the kiddos for hours. $120
3. Our light up scooters were a hit last year! Great quality and price. $110
4. A fun jump house for them and a pretty jump house for us. Aesthetically the prettiest on the market. $430
5. Cuddle & Kind – still one of my favorite “give back” brands and love the quality. A go-to gift for me. $60

1. Luxe Shampoo & Conditioner – if they are a beauty buff, odds are they want to try all the things and shampoo and conditioner make a great duo. $98
2. Anything Merit – makes your makeup routine simple and enjoyable. They have amazing product gift sets! $120
3. A fragrance staple – but truly it doesn’t have to be this particular one, but maybe something else they wear or a familiar scent that reminds you of them. $25
4. Body bar – this is literally my shower hero. It’s affordable, lasts awhile and does wonders for my skin. Highly recommend. $15
5. Nail polish – for a every beauty buff is a nail polish hoarder. Maybe get a few colors and cute box to keep them in!? Love & Other Stories colors and packaging.

taking a a nod from what I did last year… minimal and thoughtfully curated gift guides for those who mean most this year and well, every year.

first up is the happy chef, or happy cook, or loves to eat – however you want to slice it.

1. Berry bowls w/ saucers $56 – I leave them out because I use them all the time. With kids, I’m constantly rinsing and prepping fruit. Fill the bowls with some holiday snacks or home made cookies or candy in the meantime – after all it’s the key to their heart.
2. Make it official with a sweet apron with their name on it. Lots of customizable options and support independent artists in the process. $36
3. One can never have enough – cookbooks last forever. Plus, this one is quite practical. $15
4. So if they are literally a chef, they might not need a toaster BUT if you’re like me and waffles and bagels and sandwich toast is on the regular, a cute toaster for the pantry is a must.
5. Coffee. Like really good coffee from a town that means a lot to me. But really, I could have stopped at coffee. Shop their coffee subscriptions for a gift that keeps on giving.
