Holiday Gift Guide for Her- under $50

December 14, 2012
I love picking out gifts for friends and family during the holidays. It’s always fun to hunt for cute, and affordable, things that you know will make someone you love happy. Accessories are one of my main standards for the women in my life. I love finding a pretty bracelet or pair of earrings that they wouldn’t normally buy for themselves.  I also love giving home items. Candles, for example, are something you can never have too many of! At least that’s my opinion {don’t ask Matthew!}. 

1. Madewell tiny pave acorn ring, $14.50
2. Madewell perfect polka dot gloves, $35
3. Kate Spade “Let’s Do Lunch” business card holder, $20
4. J.Crew wide mint bangle, $28
5. Andy Warhol Lips print, $9.99
6. Madewell card case, $38
7. Target gold feather platter, $12.99
8. Ruche blue bowl set, $32.99
9. Anthropologie Jacinta Candle Pot, $30
10. Gorjana precious owl earrings, $38

What sorts of gifts do you like to give around the holidays? Any go-to stores?

13 Father’s Day Gifts Picked by a Real Dad

G’Day, Readers! It’s your 9th favorite blogger husband here, Matthew. I continually get blackmailed into writing these gift guides, but since I have to do it, I might as well show you some of my favorite Father’s Day gifts that I think your husband/dad/grandpa or whoever else you celebrate for Father’s Day might like too. Enjoy!

1. J.Crew Magic Wallet
My brother got me into this. It’s legit. When I don’t need my huge wallet with my Costco, AAA, and stinky fart record holders membership cards, I can streamline my operation.

2. Black Weekender Bag
Get him a real weekender bag. It will force him to pack less.

3. Leatherman Wave Multi-Tool
This is useful, period. He can keep it in the car or in the utility drawer. A good multi-tool is always on my gift guides.

4. Sperry Kicks
Just in case he needs new summer shooz.

5. A Thought Provoking Book
Teach a man to read…and he’ll read on planes or when he’s at the DMV.

6. Osprey Baby Carrier
Hiking is either a solo thing where you focus your chi, or a great excursion with family or friends. Now you can bring your crying toddler to ruin it.

7. Pour Over Coffee Kit
Pour over coffees are delicious. If the guy in your life relies on caffeine like I do, he’ll definitely enjoy a better tasting cup of joe.

8. Home Brewing Beer Kit
I brewed all of the beer served at our wedding many moons ago (all 40 gallons). My love for brewing started from a single home brew kit from my lil Mara. I highly recommend. It will at least give dad an intro to soup cooking.

9. Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee
Dissolves amazingly and is super smooth. My choice for “splurge” instant coffee. It also contains magic mushrooms.

10. Classic Sunglasses
These sunnies are dope. I want these for my own collection.

11. Weber Portable Mini Grill
Does your dude like to host BBQs away from his large stationary home BBQ? This is easy, compact, and good for weenie roasting at the beach.

12. Short Sleeved Chambray Shirt
Easy choice for it’s comfort and low risk style. My high risk choice is the mankini.

13. Portable Hammock
Teach a man to relax in a hammock and he’ll either read or sleep. My current ratio is 10% read to 90% sleep. Thank you, Dr. Seuss.

P.S. Check out one of my past Father’s Day gift picks for even more gift ideas!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Mother’s Day is one of my favorite holidays to shop for. I love picking out sweet gifts for my mom and mother-in-law, and especially since I’m now a mom, I recognize how important this day is. I love Mother’s Day because it’s a day to truly honor the women in our lives who have helped shape us into who we are today. Whether it’s a mom, mother-in-law, grandmother, or aunt, I’m sure you all have an influential female in your life who has guided you over the years, served as your sounding board, your cheerleader, and your role model. Today I’m sharing the secret to a perfect Mother’s Day gift in case you’re looking for something special! I’m also sharing some of my favorite things about my mom, including the thing that impresses me so much about her! This is the one thing I think every parent wants to achieve but it’s not always possible.
