gift giving guide {2}

I’m back with more gift giving ideas! Something for everyone on your list.

How do you do your Christmas shopping?

Do you shop online? Brace the Black Friday crowds? Look for unique gifts that will charm or just get what the gift receiver asks for? Handmade? Or mass-produced?

I’m hoping to give you some fun ideas this week, some you may have thought of already and others that might help you out.

Most importantly, we’re here to have fun so let’s get at it. If this isn’t fun(ny), then I don’t know what is:

Today for the guys I’ve got a mix of a few things I spotted on Pinterest and then something to go perfectly with that scrubby beard.

The original Beardo

Laptop sleeve for Macbook Pro

{similar} leather shave kit

And for the ladies I’m recommending lots of little goodies to smell sweet and feel good about it. We always want these products, but often can’t justify spending the money on ourselves.

These are some of my favorite picks, tried and tested (by me) and recommended for all gals:

Gift sets from L’occitane

ANYTHING Fresh (I love these smells!)

Lips in Rio Rio from Topshop

Gift sets from Burts Bees

Gift sets from Kiehls

Do you have any products you can’t live without? Or those you like to treat yourself with to feel luxurious once in awhile? Please share!

And see you back here tomorrow for more on the gift front!

XO!

a happy, happy birthday.

Rewind back to summer for two seconds while I look back on one of my very favorite pictures of me and Zan.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, old guy!

Just wanted to take a little time on this here blog to show the world how much you mean to me.

Thanks for always making me laugh and letting me be my goofy dancin’ self around you.

Thanks for your delicious cooking (YUMmers).

Thanks for pushing me to try new things and for appreciating the things I love too.

Thanks for putting up with my decorating obsession, for letting me have my way, and for taking your stuff to the man-cave.

Thanks for being you.

And thanks for loving me.

Hope you enjoyed that sticky sticky bun this morning!

Cheers to another sweet year. Happy 28! ♥
