2019 Gift Guide

I wasn’t originally going to do any gift guides this year but after receiving a few DMs on Instagram about gift suggestions, I figured I’d just put together a few recommendations or ideas of gifts to give the people in your life or for you to just ask for yourself!  I always want to help y’all in any way I can so if this helps I’m happy to pull together a few gift ideas.  These are what I think are good, solid gifts and I tried to pick some in a variety of price points.

Gift Guide

For Him

  • Patagonia Retro Pile Pullover – Craig has this and HIGHLY recommends it.  Runs TTS.
  • Yeti Mug – The coffee lover will appreciate this.  Pair it with a bag of local coffee.
  • Blundstone Boots – a pricier gift but these are super cool, stylish, and likely a gift a guy wouldn’t buy for himself but that he would love.
  • Personalized Leather Bound Atlas – how cool is this?! Anyone that loves maps, hiking, or America’s National Parks will love this.
  • Lowball glasses – Old Fashioned, anyone?
  • Airpods – You can upgrade to the “Pro” version for noise cancellation and a customizable fit, but the regular Airpods would be an amazing gift!
  • Rubber wedding bands – especially if you have an active guy in your life, he will appreciate these!  Craig uses them for when he’s camping/fishing/working out basically anything active.

For Her

  • Sherpa Jacket – every gal needs a sherpa.  Cozy & on trend!
  • Slippers – I mean, everyone loves slippers am I right?!  These are soft and warm but you can also wear them outside if you need to.
  • Barefoot Dreams blanket – the softest blanket ever.  The hardest part about giving this gift is that you’ll definitely want to keep it for yourself.  Found it half price here.  Another option here.
  • Capri Blue Candle – a higher end candle and so pretty! The Volcano smells amazing.
  • Agate Cheese Board – These are sooo gorgeous
  • Monogrammed pieces – Mug, Bracelet, Necklace, & Coasters

Things I Have & Love (that would make great gifts)

  • Summer Fridays Gift Set – I have this and loveeeeeeee them all.  The gift set is a great way to get them all at a bundled price (for someone else or for you) and it’s all nontoxic, clean ingredients.  The Jet Lag mask is so amazingly hydrating and perfect for when the winter weather dries out your skin.
  • This Scarf
  • This Tote Bag
  • Wine Glasses – I love these and always get so many compliments and comments on them.  They’re a fun addition to a bar cart!
  • Overnight Resurfacing Peel – This has changed my skin…helps prevent blemishes, reduces fine lines/wrinkles/dark spots/discoloration, and gently exfoliates.  I use it every other night and great for all skin types.
  • Rebecca Minkoff Love Crossbody – This is my go-to “going out” bag for date night etc.  It’s so pretty!  I’ve had mine for over 3 years now and I love it.

Stocking Stuffers/Smaller Gifts

  • Barefoot Dreams socks
  • Sara Happ Lip Scrub
  • Hand Cream Trio
  • Marble Coffee Tumbler
  • Makeup Bag
  • Victoria Emerson– the wrap bracelets, state necklaces, and home items would all make really great & inexpensive gifts! They also have zodiac necklaces and watches.
  • Rose Quartz Roller
