Holiday Gift Guide
/We usually wait until after Thanksgiving to bring out any Christmas decorations but my four year old was persistent. We brought everything up and started decorating on Monday. Christmas seemed so far away. Here we are the day after Thanksgiving and it seems SO close. Bring on all the Christmas music, lights, and shopping!
The gift guides I often come across are full of tech and other pricey department store finds. Usually they look pretty but they are full of things that I honestly wouldn’t want for myself or to buy for someone else. So here is gift guide of things I would love to give and to receive! (Hint Hint) Things that are practical, colorful, and/or extra special because they were made by someone who really loves what they do!
Creative Well Co. Earrings - Sam has the biggest heart and creates the MOST beautiful earrings. Anyone would be lucky to have a pair of these! She is always launching something new so make sure you follow her on Instagram too! $24
Galison Puzzles - We are big puzzlers over here and I love the art they chose for their puzzle selection. I own one of the book club ones but the Christmas ones are so pretty! $16.99
Young Living Stress Away and Thieves All Purpose Cleaner - Stress Away because 2020. And Thieves because I LOVE this and will shout it from the rooftops, literally the only cleaner I use to clean my entire house. Chat with your friend that sells oils if you’re interested in buying, or to me! $41.78 & $30.92
Zak! Brand Tumbler - I got a bigger version of this for Christmas last year and it’s literally my everyday cup. Love this style and the smaller version for on the go. $18.99
Mindo Chocolate - And not just any Chocolate… Dark Chocolate Mint. Made in Michigan. Sign me up. $11.75
All the Plants - Jade, Pothos, Pilea, if you know someone with lots of plants. Chances are they probably want another one. Shop your local nursery if you can before buying online, Bordines, English Gardens, Leaf Me Co. are a few that are local here in metro Detroit!
Happy Happy Houseplant Plant Food - Because you just bought all the plants for your friends, this might be worth a try. Sounds like it’s a miracle worker for those pesky Treenagers. $23.50
A Mano Confetti Spoon Rest - Because you should absolutely love everything you own, right down to the spoon rest. $28
Remnant Rising Personalized Bracelet - Us mamas love our kiddos. Give me all the things with my kids names on them. $12
Darn Tough Socks - Practical at its finest. Warm, colorful, and wearable multiple days in a row (yep, I do it too) without the stink. I will not spend $23 dollars on a shirt most of the time, but these socks, yes, yes I will. $23
A MANO Rainbow Wall Hanging/Ornament - A MANO made it on here twice because I love her color choices and the ceramics make me happy and who couldn’t use a little happy right now. $22
Doe A Deer Swedish Dishcloth - I haven’t used these before, but I did overhear someone talking about them and now I’m intrigued. Basically a BEAUTIFUL sponge that dries quick. Anyone have experience with these?? $10
Butter and Lye Soap - Again with the practicality. I love gifts that will get used and loved and then disappear! $22 for a set of 3
Banyan Bridges Art Print - Again with the happiness, follow Rachel on Instagram and you will see. Anything she touches is instantly happy, and we could all use a little reminder to be bold on the daily. $40
