Father's Day Gift Guide

 Father's Day is in exactly 2 weeks!
 I'm extra excited this year because it will be J's first one. (*As not just a dog dad.)
I'm still not sure what I'm going to get him, but I did round up some ideas for y'all. 
(The reason I'm not getting him anything on this gift guide is because he pretty much has everything on it. That's how I know they will be dad approved.) 

These hats are awesome! They are water repellant and the mesh panel makes them breathable. Such a great gift! 
Smokeless fire pit. So J actually doesn't have one of these, but we did get one for his parents. Definitely a great gift for dad! 
I recently bought some of these for J and he really likes them. It can be hard for him to find shirts that are long enough. These definitely pass the test. I would suggest sizing up 1 from their normal size.
This is a great gift for a new dad. My friend got me the Mama version and it's so cute.
New Balance are the OG dad shoes. J has a couple pairs of these and really likes them. 
This is perfect for keeping dads beer nice and cold! 
This is always a great gift option and I really like this brand.
This is a backpack cooler that can hold around 24 cans. I got this for J a couple years ago and we really like it. Perfect for the beach  since you can just throw it on your back. (It does get a little heavy.) 
Our friend has one of these and LOVES it! Perfect for the dad that likes to cook out! 
This is another great gift for a new dad or soon to be dad. 

Hopefully this post was helpful if you are stumped on what to get your dad. I still need to figure out something for J so leave me some ideas in the comment section!

Mother's Day Gift Guide

Mother's Day is right around the corner.  
I'm especially excited for this year because I'm hoping our little girl will be here to celebrate with! 
If you are stumped on what to get mom this year I've rounded up some great options. 

I love this robe. It's perfect for Summer.
This comes with a mirror for home and for travel.
Great for a new mom.
For the mom that loves to workout or just lives in yoga pants.
Get her this and plan an at home spa day. 
This is one of my favorite scents and I LOVE how big this one is. 
Great for the mom that loves to cook. Pot option here.
I love these sandals so much. Would make such a great gift. These are a great option if your mom likes more arch support.
I freaking LOVE this bag! It holds so much stuff and is perfect for the mom on the go! 

Your mom will honestly just be happy spending time with you I'm sure.

Valentine's Day

 Valentine's Day is a little less than a month away. 
Seems far, but it will be here before we know it.
I thought I would put together a little Valentine's Day post in case you need gift or outfit ideas.
Night out? I've got you! Staying at home? I've got you covered there too.
Not sure what to get your gal pals or SO? I've put together a few gift guides to help ya out there. 
Scroll down to check it all out! 
This top is expensive, but so freaking beautiful. If only I wasn't pregnant, I would consider rocking it.
Bump friendly.
Another bump friendly option.
These are so on trend right now!

I have the t-shirt version of this and wear it every year.
My mom got me this for Christmas and I LOVE it! 
These are so trendy right now. I really want a pair for myself. Pajamas are pretty much all I wear ATM, so maybe I should treat myself.


Good quality and won't break the bank.
A classic V-day gift. I LOVE the smell of this one.
Makes a great Galentine's Day gift. Throw in a Starbucks GC and you're good to go.
I love a card case over a wallet to keep the cards I use most. (Debit card, CC, license, & insurance card.)
These are so soft and amazing quality. 
Who doesn't love a nice candle as a gift? I feel like they are one of those things you want, but you don't really want to spend the money on. I've been dying to get a Hotel Lobby one. 
I got this exact one for Christmas and love it. Same brand as the earrings. 
Girls love a new purse! I would use one like this for lugging my laptop back and forth. You can also fit a ton of other things in there. 

\
I got J one of these for Christmas and he loves it!
J loves this brand. Good price point and good quality. He bought a pair for all of his groomsmen and we all bought matching ones for our trip to Mexico last year. 
I feel like this is such a classic gift.
This brand is INSANELY soft & cozy. I have a sweatshirt from them and I love it! My one friend swears by this brand too. He has so much stuff from them. 
I feel like most guys can always use a new pair of shoes. 
Another classic gift. I feel J really needs a new one so maybe I should put this on my list for him.
Another classic in my opinion. This one is really nice and not too expensive.

I hope this helped if you needed some outfit or gift inspo.
What is everyone's plans for Valentine's Day? I think it's on a Monday this year. We actually have a wedding on Valentine's weekend, but we will probably go to dinner that Friday just the 2 of us. I keep telling J we need as many date nights as possible because they will be less frequent and spontaneous once baby is here.

Gift Guide 2021: Beauty Lover

Kicking off the holiday gift guides with one of my favorites... BEAUTY!
I feel like there are always so many good gift sets for the holidays. Whether you're gifting a friend, family member or yourself, there's something for everyone! I might even need to add a couple of these items to my own Christmas wish-list.
These are the perfect stocking stuffer. Love that them come as a cute little ornament.
I love this lip gloss. It goes on so smooth and is not sticky at all.
This is definitely going on my wish-list. There are 3 different lights to target 3 different skincare needs.
I got last years version and I'm obsessed! Highly recommend as a gift or for yourself.
These are so easy to apply and they come in the prettiest colors.
These are supposed to make such a difference in your hair and skin.
Another thing I am adding to my wishlist. This is great for your beauty loving friend that travels a lot. Hotel lighting is always AWFUL for doing your makeup IMO.
Now is the time to buy bushes. They always have so many good sets.
Give the gift of an at home spa experience. I have been debating snagging one of these for myself. Might just have to use the holidays as an excuse.
These are my favorite lip item lately. This would make a great stocking stuffer. It comes in a pack of two so gift one and keep one for yourself.
This is great for the gal that likes to change up her curls.
This is such a great overnight lip treatment. Makes a great gift because we all know colder weather means chapped lips. 
This is great because it's got a bunch of different stuff. It really makes the perfect gift.
The ultimate splurge gift. I love the navy blue. I think this is just for holiday.
This is THE BEST dry shampoo! I definitely need to snag this with the travel size.
Another splurge worthy item. This one is a micro needling set.

Amazon Mother's Day Gifts

 This Sunday is Mother's Day.
I'm not going to lie... it kind of snuck up on me. If you are in need of a last minute gift you should definitely check out the gift guide below. All these items are from Amazon and will arrive in time for Mother's Day this Sunday. 
Perfect if your mom likes to read. I got one last year and I love it! 
This is so cute, especially for a new mom.
I feel like this is always a good gift. If your mom is still rocking an old school coffee pot this will definitely be a welcomed upgrade. 
This seems super lightweight which is perfect heading into the warmer months. 
Coffee table books are always a great gift. They can be easily tailored to different likes and hobbies. This is a fashion one, but if your mom likes travel get her one about that. 
This is something most people could definitely use. I like that it's a 2 in 1 gift.
I always think slippers are a good gift for mom. Maybe because mine always asks for them. haha
Make her life easier with a robot vacuum. 
I love these glasses. I have the Crate & Barrel version, but everyone raves about these as well. 
I love giving candles as gifts. Especially more expensive ones. I feel like people usually won't buy them for themselves, which is why they make great gifts.

What's everyone's plans for Mother's Day? Hopefully you are able to spend it with your mom.
And just remember that Mother's Day may not be an easy day for all. 
Reach out to your friends that may have lost their mom or don't have them in this season of their life. 
If you know a friend is struggling to become a mom send her a sweet text to let her know you are thinking of her. I think this graphic says it best:

Gift Guide: Last Minute Home Gifts

 I've got one last gift guide for y'all. 
I kept wanting to put together a gift guide for the home and time kept getting away from me. 
Today I finally sat down and did it. The best part is all of these will deliver in time for Christmas. 
This is the coffee maker we have. Sadly it's sitting in a box until we buy our house. Regardless, this would make a great gift! 
I got J one of these 2 years ago. I think the new ones are so cute. Might need to upgrade.
These are so cute and trendy. I really want a set, but we cannot fit any more cups in our house.
This is absolutely beautiful. This will probably be the first purchase I make when we buy a house. Would make a beautiful gift for your mom. (Check shipping. You might have to pay for upgraded shipping to get it in time.)
Another item I have sitting in a box waiting for us to buy a house. My friend and I got the same one on Prime Day and he says it's AMAZING. (I have a different brand, but I feel like the overall consensus of robot vacuums is they are worth it.) 
These would be a great stocking stuffer. They work with Alexa and other smart home devices. Love that you can just talk to turn the lights or TV on.
This is such a cool device. It basically "opens" a bottle of wine so you can just have a glass and then save the rest. Really great for someone that drinks expensive wine. 
I really want one of these. Everyone raves about them. Great for a tech person you know. 
This one looks really cool. You can obviously tailor it to the persons specific interests.
I love the shape of these. Wine glasses are always a good gift. I feel like Amazon is a great place to buy them because they will be easy to replace if they break.
I bought one of these a few months ago and now have one on every TV! I love it. You can also use voice commands if you have an Alexa.

Hopefully you don't have too much more shopping to do. However, I hope you found this Gift Guide and the last one helpful if you still have some people to check off your list. 




Gift Guide: Last Minute Gifts

We are really getting down to the wire with Christmas shopping! 
If you haven't checked everything off your list yet (or even started) I've got ya covered with these last minute gift ideas that will arrive in time for the big day next Friday! Thank you Amazon Prime. Seriously, what the heck did we do before everything was at our finger tips and deliverable within a day or two?
Kindle
I freaking love mine! Perfect for the avid reader in your life. (Certain colors and storage sizes will deliver by Christmas. Make sure you double check.)
This is one of my favorites. Games are always a fun gift because then you have something to do after all the gifts are opened.
I love these shoes. They are super trendy right now and would make a great gift. 
I got these on Prime Day and love them. They honestly might be on an even better sale than what I got them for.
This is perfect for the beauty lover in your life.
I hear nothing but great things about these. Bonus: If you get it for someone you live with it's also a present for you! 
Be careful who you gift this to. I personally want one of these scales because I want to see more than just my weight. This tells you 14 different body measurements.
My friend has one of these and it's so fun! 
For the person that has 100 pairs of sunnies. I have this one and it holds 12 pairs and looks good sitting out. (Check the dates here because only certain ones will deliver in time.)
Such a classic gift! (Again, double check on this one. Only certain colors and sizes will deliver by Friday.)
This candle smells so freaking good! I love getting nicer candles as a gift because most people won't spend the money on their own.
Great stocking stuffer. This looks similar to the one I have that I always get questions on.
Our friend got us these for Christmas 2 years ago and it's one of the best gifts EVER! 

Happy shopping!!

Gift Guide for the Hostess

 I know we aren't going to as many parties and get togethers in 2020. However, if you do have 1 or 2 one your agenda this month I've got ya covered with some gifts that aren't a bottle of wine. 
This is always a good option. I would say a holiday scent is a nice touch.
I like that this one is personalized. You could get a set of 2 or 4.
I feel like I could always use a new cook book. There are so many good ones out there.
There's so many options here. You could get cute ones or personalized ones or even Christmas ones.
I personally can always use more of these. I love the Kate Spade ones. 
This would be so cute for a cookie exchange or cookie baking party. They also have these mitt & cookie cutter sets.
Everyone needs one of these. The wick trimmer is a total game changer. 
Who doesn't love a good charcuterie spread? The more boards you have, the better in my opinion. 
I love a good coffee table book. This one looks super cute. Tailor the book to whatever the person likes.
Cute plant or succulent. The one pictured is the Grump Tree from Trader Joe's. If you can find one it would be the cutest gift. J surprised me with one and I LOVE it!!!

Gift Guide: Workout Junkie

We all know at least one person that is obsessed with the gym. Or maybe you have a friend that has picked up the working out as a new hobby during quarantine. Maybe a new mom trying to get back into it. Whoever it is I've rounded up a bunch of options for the workout guru in your life. Whether they are a runner or weight lifter there is something on this list for everyone. 
These are my absolute favorite leggings and super affordable.
These are great and comfortable wrist weights. They come in a 1lb option and a 2lb option here. 
Good running shoes are major key! I have been wanting to get a pair of these after hearing such great things.
I like these because they aren't hard on your hair. I also feel like they don't leave creases.
If you are shopping for someone that does barre these would make a great gift. I was always loosing mine when I did pure barre. They also come in a 4-pack option.
These seem great to assist in muscle recovery. I really need to get one of these for myself. 
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love my Apple Watch. The calories, workout, and stand feature is probably my favorite thing.
If you know someone that works out I can promise you they never have enough workout clothes.
If you follow me on Instagram you know about my love for Liquid IV. I almost always drink one of these on days I workout.
I love this workout tank and it's super affordable. It also comes in a ton of color options.
I can never have enough reusable water bottles. A hydro Flask is next on my list to try.
I really like this brand. This one is neoprene which seems like a great option for the gym. 
This is a must no matter what the persons workout of choice is. This along with the muscle gun would be EXCELLENT for recovery.

I do have 2 other great suggestions. If you are really looking to splurge a peloton or norditrack would make a wonderful gift. If at home workouts aren't their thing a gift card to ClassPass would also be a great option.

Gift Guide for the Jet Setter

I know what you're thinking... why would I buy someone something travel related this year? I know it sounds crazy since no one is really traveling. However, I promise you that your friend/family member that was always traveling before can't wait to get back to it. Why not get them something they will use when things get back to normal doing something they love? 
Here are a few things I think the jet setter in your life will find useful.
This is a no brainer. Luggage can be expensive so it's always nice to get it as a gift. This is great for someone who maybe just got the travel bug.
You can use this to set your curling iron or straightener on while getting ready so you don't burn anything. You can also use it to pack your hot tool if it's still hot when you need to go. 
I got one earlier this year and love it. It's great for travel because it's lightweight and you can have multiple books with you without the bulk.
This helps keep all your cords organized. I can't tell you how many times mine get lost & tangled at the bottom of my bag.
This is good for someone who travels internationally a lot. Perfect to snuggle up and take a nice long nap.
We all know that person who is an overpacker. (Raises hand. Guilty!) This will help save them a ton of money in overweight baggage fees.
These are a great way to stay organized. I really need to get some of these myself.
Nothings worse than getting to the airport and realizing your phone is on 20%. Portable chargers are great and this one has the cables already connected to it. Can't tell you how many times I've had the portable charger with no charging cable. 
This is great for tropical vacations. If you want to go for a swim before your flight you can just throw your wet swimsuit in this bag and not worry about getting everything wet.
These are a game changer for flights! I would always steal J's and finally bought myself a pair this year. 
This will help keep you organized. I am all about that! This one is more geared towards guys, but the same company has this one with more storage for jewelry. 

Hopefully we will all be back to normal travel soon. I know I am ready for some trips! What are your travel essentials? I would love to hear about them in the comments.

Stocking Stuffers for Him

As promised, today I am back with the Stocking Stuffer gift guide for him.
There's a lot of smaller gifts on this list. Hopfully this is helpful when shopping for the guys in your life. 
Everyone talks about how amazing this brand is. They are doing 20% off for Black Friday. You should probably pick yourself up a pair while you're at it.
Great gift, especially if your husband or boyfriend is constantly stealing and "misplacing" your nail clippers.
It's 2020 and we all need hand sanitizer. As girls we can just throw it in our purse. I feel like these are perfect for guys because they will fit perfectly in their back pocket.
My friend uses this and his favorite scent is Whiskey Bar.
It wouldn't be 2020 if I didn't add a face mask to this list. 
This is such a cool concept. Perfect for the college guy! 
I have the regular one and love it. (So does J. Might need to upgrade us to the 3 in 1.)
This is a great alternative to a wallet. Not as bulky. I feel like a lot of guys are going to slimmer options for "wallets".
These are made in the US and seem like amazing quality. My friend has one and he loves it. Also great for dressier events. 
I feel like this is the Billie equivalent for guys. They also have this special edition holiday set. 
Kind of funny, but SUPER practical. J may or may not have one of these coming his way! 

I also wanted to call out a website I found while doing this gift guide. I stumbled upon a site called  Uncommon Goods and I feel like they have so many cool items on there. Definitely check it out for anyone you might need a unique gift for.

Gift Guide for Him 2020

I'm back with one of my most popular gift guides... the gift guide for HIM! 
My friend helped me put it together so most of these are coming straight from a guy himself. (I added one or two items on my own.)
He gave my so many ideas I will have a completely separate gift guide with stocking stuffers! (Stay tuned for that. Coming soon.)

I feel like guys won't buy themselves nice things. Christmas is always a good time to buy the guy in your life something nicer that they need and wouldn't buy themselves.
This is apparently a very trendy company right now. They have a bunch of other products and some gift sets too.
I love getting stuff like this for my dad. It's something he likes and I think it's even cooler that he can take 1 Saturday to make it himself. 
If the guy your shopping for travels a lot get him this. This one is really nice quality and I like that you can personalize it. 
These boots are so nice. My friend just bought a pair and he LOVES them. They are a little pricey, but all the reviews say they are amazing shoes.
These come in a ton of colors and have multiple fits & lengths. Great way to upgrade your dad, brother, husband, or boyfriends style. 
I feel like guys rarely drink enough water and if they do they are using plastic water bottles. Get him one of these so he will hydrate more and save the environment.
My friend said these are SUPER popular right now. You can also get them personalized.
This is a great gift for the guy in your life that loves to grill. I also really like this tailgate combo. 
I had this on the gift guide last year, but my friend swears they are amazing! He says they are so much better than the regular ones and definitely worth the higher price point. Because of how much he raved about them I felt they deserved a spot on the list again. 
Bonus points if you want to get him a new watch too.
These seem like really nice athletic shorts. My friend says he thinks they are comparable to Lululemon. 
These are such a versatile shoe in my opinion. They are expensive, but I've heard Cole Haan shoes are so comfortable. 
PS5
If you can find this anywhere you will be wife, sister, girlfriend, daughter, whatever of the year! 

I'm actually really proud of myself this year because I'm almost completely done shopping for J and my mom. That literally NEVER happens. Especially not before Thanksgiving. Now I just gotta get some stuff for my dad, and J's family. 
Hope this helps you shop for the guys in your life. I always find them the hardest.

Stocking Stuffers for Her

 Can y'all believe the holidays are upon us? 
I've got my first gift guide for you today. 
These are all great little gifts that would fit perfectly in a stocking. Almost all of them are under $25 too! 
I picked these up last weekend and love them. They seem really good for your hair. Not quite the silk option but close enough. And a way better price point.
I bought this a few months ago and love it. Both pieces are super trendy and you can wear together or separate.
My mom would always out a new toothbrush in our stocking. This is a nice little upgrade. It's currently on sale for $25 too!! Hurry and snag one before it goes back to regular price. ($50)
I am OBSESSED with these lipglosses. The colors are great and I love the formula. I cannot recommend this set enough. 
This is a little pricey, but I have found that some people do expensive gifts in their stockings. I love the quilting and it comes in a ton of colors. 
If this is not the most 2020 appropriate stocking stuffer I don't know what is. This helps you open doors, type in your pin on the credit card machine, and more so you don't have to touch it. I'm getting one for everyone I know. (Including myself.)
I have about 10 of these and I love them. You can get the beads in a ton of different colors and have it say anything you want. This is an Etsy item so I would order early! 
They have a ton of different flavors and it seems like the perfect size to throw in a stocking. I really want to try the cinnamon roll flavor.
Another super appropriate 2020 stocking stuffer. This mask is a little pricey, but if you know someone suffering from mascne get this for them. 
Most people already get super dry hands in the winter. Add in the fact that we are washing our hands more than ever and my hands are a freaking desert!!! This seems like it could be a good thing to do once a week to try and help combat that. 
I feel like we are still seeing the hair clip trend. These are really pretty and would be great for dressing up a low key NYE.
We all are exposed to screens too much. These help block the blue light and can prevent eye strain and even headaches.
Can y'all tell I'm on a hair tie/scrunchie kick? I bought this single version of this and love it for putting my hair up to wash my face. It's super oversized and fun! 

What would you like in your stocking from this list? I want everything I don't already have. haha
I did want to mention shipping really quick. Shipping around the holidays is always crazy. Throw in a pandemic and so many supply chains being disrupted and it's going to be even worse! I HIGHLY recommend ordering things as early as possible. I am always a last minute shopper and already have ordered a few things because I want to make sure they make it in plenty of time. Be especially mindful of this when ordering from small businesses and Etsy. 
And that's my PSA for the day! 
Happy shopping!

Gift Guide: Last Minute Edition

Alright y'all! 
Here's your last minute gift guide. If you are still in need of some gifts I suggest you shop today or tomorrow at the absolute latest. See below for some notes about the items on this list.
A lot of things on Prime will deliver Monday or Tuesday at the latest.
Anthropologie: Order tonight (12/21) by 11:59 PT and select express shipping for Delivery by Christmas Eve.
Nordstrom: Order by noon EST tomorrow (12/22) for free shipping with delivery by Christmas Eve. Make sure the item says "Arrives by Christmas Eve"
Target: This is a great option because you can buy online and pick up in store. I would choose the drive up option so you don't have to find a parking spot and someone will bring it to your car! 
Air Fryers are also all the rage this year.
Great stocking stuffer
This is my favorite scent!
Could get them a few bottles of wine to put on their new wine rack as well. Another great option would be a subscription to Winc. 
Great stocking stuffer. I use a different brand but I am obsessed! 
Passport & Luggage Tag Set
Quip Toothbrush
My mom always put a new toothbrush in our stocking. This would be a nice upgrade. The color options are super fun.
I've heard this is so fun. Games are always a good gift because you can play them later in the afternoon after you open all the presents.
Just got these and OMG! Insert all the heart eye emojis!! Matching cardigan here!
