Gift Guide for Him

The long awaited gift guide for him is here! Let me start by saying this was not easy, but I tried my hardest to find things that are useful that the guys won't shrug their shoulders at in half excitement (men I tell ya). Anyways, hopefully this sparks some inspiration and if it counts for anything all these items are Ryan(fiancé) and Bruce(dad) approved.

First is the Echo dot. Got this for Ryan last year for Christmas and he now talks to his digital girlfriend every day. "Alexa, who should I play in fantasy this week?" "Alexa, what is Kelly Clarkson's real hair color?" Yes, these are real conversations my fiancé has with his little dot, so I guess you can say it was a good investment....?
Next is a set of men's travel-size skin care favorites, including face wash, shave cream, moisturizer, soap, and hand salve.  I feel like this is perfect for the guy who loves to take care of his appearance and likes to always feel fresh and clean. It also takes the thought out of what to pack on a trip.
You know what Ryan likes doing as much as talking to his Amazon Dot? Connecting his dot to speakers. The dot can play any selection of Amazon music and what is better than listening to your favorite songs just a little bit louder throughout the house?
Oh what do you know.. more Sugarfina. You'd think they'd sponsor me(I wish). Anyways, as I have said before, I think Sugarfina gummies are so fun to add into a gift and these are perfect to adding into your guys gift for a fun treat.
Got these for Ryan a year ago and boy is obsessed. He never invested in good sunglasses before, but he will even admit these are worth it (probably because he didn't have to buy them.. you're welcome Ryan). Guy or girl, invest in the nice sunglasses, they seriously last SO much longer and you really do take better care of them for obvious reasons. Plus, like hi UV protection, its a thing.
Because like the girls like their cold wine, the boys like their cold beer. Enough said. Perfect for tailgating or lounging on the couch. Yeti doesn't discriminate on locations of boozing.
Another Ryan favorite. A gift I can say was also worth the investment. He wears it constantly and just like I said in the girls gift guide, it just adds something extra to dress up your appearance.

Another item, another gifting of Ryan's past. I'm starting to think this guy has it too good. Anyways, we both own a Patagonia fleece. These fleeces do the damn thing. Perfect for fall and winter, really do help keep in warmth, and are super comfortable.
Big surprise I am sure, but Ryan doesn't own this so I cant give you a personal review, but it has great reviews, has a great style, and I feel like every guy needs a solid duffel. 

Because cold water is just as nice as a cold beer. Great for the guy on the go.
For when the watch game starts to get strong and then they have somewhere to nicely store them.

Lastly, Penzy Spices. My dad and Ryan are obsessed with some quality spices, I mean how can you go wrong? Plus win win because they will use the good spices to cook you a tasty meal. Call it a gift within a gift.

Alright, I hope this guide did the men's gifting some justice. We have two more guides of the season to go so keep on the lookout for those! Until then,

Gift Guide For Her


Happy Turkey week everyone! I am back bringing to you this week a for her and him gift guide. I catered the "for her" guide off of a lot of items that are higher end, but still affordable. All pieces above are items that are meant to last for years and be used for multiple seasons to make their price worth their bank. I am a big fan of spending more on items that have good quality knowing I will get a lot of use out of it as opposed to buying cheap and it breaking/or falling apart on me within a year. With that being said, here is the gift guide!


First are these really pretty Kate Spade Studs. They have a few color combos and would make such a fun statement piece.


These Jeffrey Campbell rain boots would be great for spring, fall, and winter, and are great quality and will get a lot of wear out of them. Not to mention they will match everything.

 Patagonia is such a great brand and this vest would go with just about anything and work for multiple seasons.
Who doesn't love an object that can keep your wine cold without fail? The color above is currently out of stock, but I linked a pretty copper in its place. Let's be serious, who cares about the color so long as the wine stays cold.
Charolette Tilbury has amazing quality makeup and her shade "Pillow Talk" is a fan favorite. Goes well on all skin tones and it's just a pretty pink/nude.
I mentioned this item in the gift guide for moms, but it is honestly a great product for anyone of any age. Really refreshens your eyes for the day ahead.
These candles are so popular and have the cutest packaging. I am a sucker for something that smells good while also working as cute decor, as are most girls.

Another cult favorite here. I do not personally own a barefoot dreams blanket... yet, but the reviews on these blankets are INSANE. They are supposed to be one of the softest materials ever.

I think statement watches are so classy. Upgrades your look and just makes any average outfit that much better. I like the two toned look about this to match more.
 I own two of these pom beanies and they are such good quality and are so dang cute. I kid you not, I have sold about 20 of these on the liketoknowit app and they continue to keep going. THEY ARE GOOD.

 Another statement stud. Super cute and will be a timeless piece.
Rebecca Minkoff has great quality handbags and this quilted style is so gorgeous. Comes in multiple colors and her site always is having sales.

My fiancé bought me one of these a year ago and I love it. Polaroid cameras are so fun and so great for moments to remember in a unique way.

That's it for the girl's gift guide, up next is the gift guide For Him! So head back to the home page to see that one!

Gift Guide for Moms


Alright everyone, gift guide two is out and it's all about our mamas! Had a lot of requests for this one and it's funny because you'd think it'd be so easy, but honestly what is an adequate gift to the human that has given you everything? I catered this guide to all things cozy so your mom can relax for a quick moment in life, because we all know they deserve it! 
My mom loves her Keurig, and I love how tiny the model is so it can fit in any room of the house for a quick pick me up.
It's back and finding its way into every guide, because honestly how can you go wrong with a Yeti? Plus moms need their beverage to stay fresh to juggle life's mess that is thrown at them every hour of the day.


I thought this was so fun. It's a cookbook that gives you meal ideas based off a specific wine to pair with it. It's different and unique.

I just thought this was a cute little add in gift. Gives you a spatula and cookie cutter that is fun and could be something you use with your mom for some bonding time.

These candles smell like straight heaven. They have the prettiest packaging so its decor is on top of the candle.
Another awesome candle that adds a cute accent to any home

I have these slippers and have ran them into the ground with how much use I get out of them. So comfortable and great for lounging around the house


Barefoot dreams always has the softest material so these would be great for your mom to throw on while cozying up on the couch with a glass of wine.

I own this and DANG is this stuff good. Helps revive tired eyes and just makes you feel fresh for the day. What mom wouldn't love this pick me up?

Because we all know mom hates water marks on the coffee table. These are a cute way to personalize the home while also getting your mom off your back for ruining her furniture.

For when you and your siblings put your mom on her last nerve and she can just go breathe in some essential oils and forget about it for a hot second.

Because life requires wine just as much as it requires coffee.

Alright, stay tuned for more gift guides throughout the next few weeks! 
Until then,

Co-Worker Gift Guide



Happy Tuesday everyone! Can you even believe it's so close to Christmas?! I asked if you all would like to see gift guides for the upcoming season and you all voted a loud yes, and I am so excited about that! I am going to share a gift guide every few days for the next few weeks and hopefully these guides will either find you a gift or at least a little inspiration. So to start these gift guide off, here is one inspired for co-workers! Let me just say, finding something for a coworker is TOUGH, and if none of these options below work, my advice would be to just think of what you see your coworkers using every day. Do they have a favorite k-cup they are always bringing in? A favorite place to grab lunch? Or even a snack/beverage they can't seem to make it throughout the day without. Gifts I always feel are best if they come from an intent of being personal. 

First up is a Yeti. I mean self explanatory, keeps your coveted coffee hot or cold all day to keep your tolerance of the human race at bay.



Coffee Gift Card
Next up is a gift card to their favorite coffee shop. Yet again, the gift of caffeine to make work life tolerable
For the coworker who has fifty sets of keys and constantly keeps losing them. This nifty holder stays on your arm so your keys are always on hand no matter how much you are carrying.

Rose water facial spray. I don't know about you, but a nice little spritz of some fresh facial water mid day after you feel like that Monday has got the best of you is NICE.

Anyone else have coworkers that all steal each others power cords as you are all running on straight 20%? A charger for work would make a great gift and I'm telling you it would come in handy
For the co-worker on the go, these hair ties are a god send. They don't tangle in your hair and are great to have on hand

Let's be real, we all need a glass of wine in the shower after some of the days work can throw at us.


Have we caught the theme of coffee= happiness in the work world.

Headphone case. I have one and I love it. It is a conscious area of where you keep your headphones and if you still have ones with a cord attached, it will keep them from tangling.

A cute way to keep your place for either a book or anything needing a second look at work.

Coffee people. Just get them all the coffee.

For the co-workers who likes to keep things organized and all in one spot.

Alright everyone that is it for co-workers, up next will be a gift guide for your mom, so keep checking back for that one!
