  1. I love this cute retro alarm clock – for the person who is always oversleeping.
  2. This boxed book set would be so special for a little girl in your life (or anyone really – they’re classics for a reason!)
  3. I’m still not over the idea of toting around a polaroid to have a tangible photo memory of your next vacation – or even Christmas morning.
  4. Is there anything better than freshly sharpened colored pencils? Gift to the doodler in your life.
  5. This laptop sized backpack is perfect for your college aged brother/cousin/nephew.
  6. No one has ever had too many bright pom hats.
  7. This wall mounted bottle opener is so much prettier than digging an old one out of a drawer.
  8. Cute coasters – gift with a bottle of their favorite wine or liquor.
  9. How fun are these pineapple string lights? Gift them to your co-worker who is already dreaming of next summer.
  10. This is my all-time favorite perfume – in handy travel sized roll-ons.

GUIDE TO: LAST MINUTE HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS

9 days until Christmas and we’re officially in the red zone when it comes to gift shopping. I’ve still got a ways to go on my own list (and have a hunch I’m not alone in this), so I wanted to share a no fail line-up of things that – if you hop to it – can still be ordered online to arrive in time to be tucked under the tree. Here, a few of my favorite things to pick up if you’re down to the wire (lots on sale + free shipping!):

SLIPPERS

PILLOWS AND THROWS

BEAUTY & GROOMING

PHONE ACCESSORIES

COLD WEATHER

 

HOLIDAY HOSTESS GIFTS UNDER $50

Yesterday Adam told me there was only 6 Mondays left until Christmas and I had a mild panic attack. I actually am not even sure if it’s accurate, but I’m too afraid to check. Partially because I love the holidays and want them to slow down so I can really enjoy them to the fullest and partially because I haven’t really thought about gifts yet. While I can’t stop time, I like to think I can pick out a good gift – so I’m officially kicking off the holidays with my first gift guide here on the blog featuring ideas for the happy hostess, all under $50. Thanksgiving is just 2 weeks away (that I know for sure..) and while a bottle of wine is nice, these are wayyy more fun. I love the idea of cute stationery and a pack of shiny gold pens or a cocktail recipe book and pair of tumblers. And you can’t go wrong with a pretty apron or personalized serving tray (even better if it arrives with homemade cookies). Happy gifting!
