I think Christmas shopping is one of the most fun things ever so here are a million more ideas than I need in one year!
Blue Floral Dress | Pink Collar Sweater | Yellow Coat | These are our very favorite pajamas and bunny slippers| Locket Necklace, which you can print a couple photos in wallet size to fit in | The softest mini bunny and these loveys that both my girls sleep with every night | Hunter Boots are pricey but hold up SO well and go with everything! Christmas is a great time to grab them, just be sure to read the sizing. You can also often find them on Facebook Marketplace (that’s where I’ve gotten them!)
A couple sweet favorite books, Little Library , Little Adventures, Madeline, Pasta Pasta Lotsa Pasta, and Bunny’s Book Club is my personal favorite, it is *SO* sweet!! And Our Daily Bread for preschoolers is a great starter devotional for 3 year olds!
I usually throw a pack of bows in the girls stockings, I love these, these, these and these
I am obsessed with this hat on Kit and we love these socks which you can normally get on sale.
For toys most little girls love all things baby. I cannot recommend these soft baby dolls enough. Ginny has one and it is Kit’s main gift this year. Also they have the cutest names! A diaper bag and baby carrier make for great gifts as well! Maileg mice are my favorite thing to give Ginny because they are our favorite thing to play with together. Because they are pricier we do one each Christmas and Easter and are building her collection slowly. This is her main gift this year and I already know she will be so happy! They are so darling and offer hours of imaginative play. Tweed is my favorite place to buy them but their website does have free shipping as well! Picasso Tiles (like magnetiles but cheaper) are always a win and we love love playing with this mixer.
For the stocking you can never have enough snack cups and water bottles!
This was my biggest request when I asked on Instagram what you wanted to see – sooo many messages saying “My Mother in Law/Mom/Aunt who has everything!”. Now if we are talking about Moms or Mother in Laws, let’s be real, the number one thing they want is pictures of the grandkids! A couple options for this – A beautiful gold or silver frame with a few printed pics (I leave extras prints in the gift box so they can pick which one they want), a Nixplay is a digital frame that you can continue to upload photos to throughout the year, my mom loves when one of us uploads something and it pops up while she’s drinking her morning coffee! Or if you’ve got a little time on your hands and want a project, a yearly photo book can’t be beat! This one in particular is beautiful quality (coming from a photographer!).
This market tote would be beautiful with a bottle of wine and these cordless lamps are perfect for the lady who loves to host (think outdoor dinner party!). I am convinced everyone should have airpods. A beautiful home/coffee table book is always a good option, I love this one and this one but you could pick something based on their hobbies.
You could do a Ballerina Farm box of baked goods or if they are a coffee/tea drinker there is no bougier of a gift than an Ember mug! Pottery Barn robes are so luxurious, both the plush and waffle ones look amazing! This Lands End tote is great for everything, I have the large with long straps and love it! If they are beach gals a fun treat would be a Business and Pleasure umbrella or beach bag! If they hate winter a heated blanket can help, I bought this for my mom a few years ago and always grab it when I’m at her house!
When in doubt you cannot go wrong with a pedicure gift card (you can include tip) or a gift card to a nice restaurant, Butcher’s Union is my favorite. Headed into long winter nights a Discovery + or Instacart subscription also make great gifts!
For the gal pals or favorite things party! I usually try to keep girlfriends gifts a little less expensive but still want them to know they are thought of. In my opinion this all comes down to delivery! You could put a gift together for less than $10 but tie it up with an oversized silk ribbon and their favorite candy or a spring of greenery and dried orange slice! Make it beautiful rather than expensive! Here are a few ideas
Thrift or buy a teacup! I looove drinking my morning coffee out of a teacup! This one is so cute and this one is on amazon but stop in an antique store and see what you can find! If you want to go one step further pair it with a bag of Town Criers Coffee (the best!). If you’ve ever had these socks you know they are anything but boring, you’ll never want to wear another pair again! Love these little bow stud earrings and this little croissant pouch…so cute.
I talk about this Juno skin all the time on Instagram, the best makeup remover and this Dae Hair wand can’t be beat for flyaways! This lipgloss is my favorite and individually they are closer to $30 but they have gift sets that you can split up to give to multiple friends!
Lastly, a little more heartfelt, I got this journal as a gift and love it, this instagram walks through it, and this book is filled with liturgies (prayers and readings) for different ordinary moments (changing diapers, drinking coffee, setting up the Christmas tree, etc). I received it as a gift and now it is my favorite gift to give!
And now for the men, a few of these are my ideas but most of these are Dan’s! Starting with an Ember mug, there isn’t a coffee drinker who wouldn’t love this and recommend pairing it with a bag of Town Criers Coffee. Everyone needs Airpods…everyone. And if you need a bigger gift Dan and his dad love the Apple Watch. If he works in an office he may enjoy a digital picture frame (you can upload pictures from any phone and they pop up in the frame).
Scratch Eraser Kit, Dan has used this to get some pretty impressive scratches out of my car… not that I have ever scratched my car…We have two of these garage lights in our garage and they are great, they were the first thing Dan mentioned when I asked for gift guide ideas. Milwaukee M12 impact driver, Dan says this is the best, most versatile drill he has used and a great platform and price point for starting out with other tool options to build onto it. Dan says this Microbit Driver is so handy, everyone should have one, and a great stocking stuffer.
If he doesn’t have bluetooth in his vehicle Dan highly recommends this bluetooth to radio converter. I picked out these socks that you can have a child or pets face put on, Dan was on the fence about them😂. We both love our percussion massager and these chukkah boots are a great versatile staple!
