GIFT GUIDE FOR HER

These past few years I've enjoyed putting together the gift guides for you. Although they're a lot of work (and sometimes take days to upload because your computer isn't working) I love finding new gifts and seeing what everyone's favorites are every year. I actually found so many good things for her that I had to make up multiple. It's not hard for me to find things I'd like to buy for myself. So today I'm sharing gift ideas for her as well as gifts to pamper her or yourself since Christmas shopping can be so exhausting. 



DIE CUT ART PRINT: Whether it's fur kids or regular kids, these make a great gift! 

DOUBLE EARRING SET: 2 pairs of earrings that she'll wear through the holidays 

INDIA HICKS TRINKET TRAY: Jonathan Adler designed trinket tray 

DIAMOND RING: This may be one of my favorite things I found. I LOVE this ring! 

COVET BAG: I promise you she will love this buttery soft leather bag that can be used a crossbody or a shoulder bag. This bag recently sold out so I linked my other favorite bag. 

POM BEANIE: I have a slight pom pom beanie obsession and this one is under $20!

TORY BURCH CLUTCH: You can't go wrong with this classic

ENGRAVED BRACELET: I wear mine daily and it's one of my favorite gifts to give. It's adjustable too! 

LAPTOP CASE: I'll be needing one of these and preferably a waterproof one but in all seriousness these are some of my favorite personalized bags and accessories 

CASHMERE NECK SCARF: The perfect accessory for those that are cold but don't like bulky scarves. I'd wear this everyday! 

AWAY SUITCASE: This has been a big hit from the Men's Gift Guide so I thought I'd add it to the womens too. Add her initials for a special touch. 

THE 52 LISTS PROJECTScreate 52 lists that will help you discover the beauty, joy and creativity you already have

BRACELET/CHARGER: I had this on the gift guide last year but since my phone is always running on 15% I thought I'd add it again this year 

RACHEL ZOE BOX OF STYLERachel Zoe taps her exclusive network to select fashion and beauty items you have to have.

FAUX FUR COLLAR: Obsessed with this color

WHITE LE CREUSET: These are a pricier kitchen item but once you own one you wonder how you lived without it

IPHONE CASE: If she recently got a new iphone well then she needs a cute case for it



CANADA GOOSE DOWN: This is a big splurge gift for sure but something she'll stay nice and toasty in for years!

DYSON HAIR DRYER: This is pricey but I hear it is amazing! 

DR JART FACEMASK: Winter takes a toll on our skin and these water replenishment masks will help 

EAT BEAUTIFUL BOOK: December to me means EAT ALL THE COOKIES so this will definitely be something I'll be needing come January

GLOPRO: Microneedling at home kit

CORKCICLE STEMLESS: Take your wine to go

OUAI ESSENTIALS KIT: These products are a best seller and come in a little travel pouch

SLIPPERS: chic looking slippers

GREY MALIN CANDLE: He's one of my favorite photographer/artists and his prints are a splurge but on a candle is a little more budget friendly 

BEAUTYCOUNTER LIP GLOSS TRIO: My favorite lip glosses and they're safe! 

COZY FLEECE: I got this last year and LIVED IN IT! I couldn't wait to pull it out again this year when it got chilly

LAVISH BODY POLISH & LOTION: She will smell heavenly and have soft skin. My skin can't survive winter without these

BALLOON DOG NIGHT LIGHTS: A nightime guard dog...in balloon form


STAR WARS LEGOS: With the release of the new Star Wars movie mid December these legos are sure to be hit. This one has a rotating head and an opening hatch which makes it even cooler but beware Dads....it's 1106 pieces! 


RIVAL NERF GUN: What parent doesn't love picking up nerf darts all day? The boys love playing nerf gun wars in the neighborhood and add the matching protective goggles and mask. 


VINEYARD VINES FLEECE: They'll be most excited about this gift for sure, ha! Although they'll thank you when they're nice and warm. 


BIKE: Fat tire bike to ride through town and the woods


MAGNETIC TABLET: Fun little gift to travel with and it's also relaxing to play with these


KLASK BOARD GAME: I saw a friends video on insta with her sons playing this game and it looked like so much fun. 


NINTENDO SWITCH: A video game console that turns into a handheld device too with games like Zelda and Mario Kart. This was basically sold out since last Christmas and I've seen a lot of places stocked but they're selling out quickly so you may want to grab this soon if you've had your eyes on it. 


YOGIBO BEAN BAG: My kids lounged on these in the store last year and after not wanting to spend the money I got a cheaper version which came apart in a couple months. Lesson learned. I polled friends on facebook about this one and majority said their kids and husbands loved these! 


LASER TAG GAME: This is a HOT toy! If you belong to Costco we found the double one for $38 The neighborhood kids are all getting these too!

SETTING YOUR THANKSGIVING TABLE WITH HEARTH & HAND

Hearth & Hand by Joanna Gaines launched at Target yesterday and I was so excited to check it out. Their price points are amazing, way to go Chip & Joanna! The quality is really nice, the candles smell great (all of them) and they have the greatest accessories to nail your Thanksgiving table this year. So today I'm sharing my favorite's from the collection I used to create a Thanksgiving tablescape and my thoughts on the rest of the collection. They really have everything you need for your upcoming holidays. 


I love these black rectangular flower froggers that also come in a galvenized metal too. They have a frogger inside which helps keep the flowers in place and are lined with a water pan inside. I paired them with this plaid cream & black runner and simple flowers to create a more casual feel. 




Another favorite was the place card options that were available. As soon as I saw these antique brass mini frames I knew I had to have them. You can print a name on the little card that comes with them and show it on one side or use chalk for the other side.







These x pattern salad/dessert plates are so cute! I paired them with the striped napkins which I love because they're striped and you can use them year round. I thought all their stone wear was really nice. The only problem I see with these black plates is chipping. They seem delicate so if you're hard on plates maybe the white would be a better option. 


Ok, lets talk about the candles. They nailed these scents!! I normally have a couple candles scents that I'm not a huge fan of, including more Christmas-y scents. I wasn't expecting to like this Balsam & Spice but it's so pretty and not over powering at all. My favorite scent was the teakwood currant. The galvanized containers that they come in make them a really cute gift idea especially since they're only $19.99 and they're BIG! Or use a couple of them with your table display for the holidays.








Brass detail on the sides of the rectangular planters.





The pillows are typical Target pillows so I wasn't crazy about those. I thought they look cute as an accent on a chair but I need to be able to fluff my pillows and these you can't. If you don't care about fluffing then they do look cute paired with this faux fur throw which is on sale and I was having a hard time finding in a local Target near me but they have it online! 




I haven't decided if I want to pair black or gold silverware with everything. Thoughts? 



Once the rest of my deliveries come I'll be sharing what I really liked from the rest of the collection. Gift wrap, greens, lanterns for outdoor decor and a more decorative Christmas table set up! Stay tuned!
