GIFT GUIDE 2017: Etsy Finds for the Decorator

Nov302017

My final gift guide for the season is full of Etsy finds for the decorator and/or hostess with the mostest on your list. I know that home decor can be a pretty taste specific gift, but the right one can be real treasure. Hopefully, these will trigger some ideas for you. . . (Images are linked directly to Etsy listings.)

Besides never having to leave your house, another great part of shopping Etsy is supporting small business this holiday season. Win/win!

GIFT GUIDE 2017: Wearable Gifts For Her

Nov272017

Cyber Monday brings a slew of sales (and a full inbox). I’ve put together another gift guide to hopefully help you sort through some of it. (See my gift guides for the reader and for the kids here.) These are a few of my favorite wearable gifts–including the perfume I wear most, my every day watch, a carry-all tote and sweatshirts/cardigans that will work for just about anyone.

A few things to note:

The earrings I included (and everything else at Baublebar) are on sale today and tomorrow (11/27 and 11/28) for an additional 35% off if you use code CYBER35.

Old Navy has 50% off everything all day today!

LOFT also has 50% off everything plus free shipping with code CLICK.

J.Crew is offering 40% off with an extra 10% today and free shipping with code SHOPFAST.

GIFT GUIDE 2017: Things My Kids Like

Nov202017

It’s been a little tricky to put this particular gift guide together. It seems there is always a little pair of eyes peering over my shoulder to see what I’m doing on my laptop. But I hid and pressed on, in case any of Santa’s helpers could use a little help this Christmas. I’ve broken down these fun things into age groups and included some things my kids have and love and a few things that are on their list this year. . .

A few things to note. . .

Ages 3 to 7: Our twins got the VTech watches last year and still play with them all the time. They call them their “smart watches” and have been especially great for long trips in the car. My sister’s boys (ages 3 to 8) are way into Beyblades right now so I think Santa may bring a set here. And, the jeeps are at the top of their lists. We may need to clean out our garage before Christmas Eve. . .

Ages 8 to 10: These ride-on toys have gotten great reviews for all ages and might be a nice alternative to a bike. My 8-year-old has the Unicef band and and loves the idea of having a goal while helping other kids. And, I’m not sure I’m totally on board with the Hatchimal craze but she has it on her list. (What do you think? Worth the money??)

Ages 11+: We have now reached the stage where I have two that are asking for tiny, expensive things this year. Truthfully, I think they’d both be happy with cash but what fun is that for Santa?! We have Wits & Wagers and it’s their favorite game. The Bose speaker is also great and the mini trampoline was a hit with my gymnast. I’ve heard great things about Spike Ball and my preteen put Birkenstocks at the top of her list. Apparently, it’s now trendy to wear them with fuzzy socks. . . #yikes

What’s on your kids’ lists this year?
