Gift Guide For Her

You guys! Can you believe Black Friday is just a few days away?! I’m always looking for new gift ideas for my friends and family and it seems like the older we get the harder it gets to find the perfect gift. I know my husband is always asking me for ideas and I am typically at a loss. SOOOO if you aren’t sure what to put on YOUR list this year, or you are looking for gift ideas for your significant other, here is my ‘Gift Guide For Her’ based on my own personal favorites.

And be sure to scroll down to the bottom where you can find links to other blogger favorites.
Here is the ultimate Gift Guide For Her! Grab some new ideas for your own list, or send this to your significant other and drop some hints!

 

Each of these items are my own personal favorites! I own each of these, or something super similar and highly recommend any of them. And for the record, I honestly didn’t mean for them to color coordinate, I guess this means that everything I own fits my own personal style ha!

GIFT IDEAS FOR HER

  1. Earrings – I love having a simple pair of staple earrings that I wear everyday. Since becoming a mom, I don’t wear dangling earrings very often, nor do I change mine very often so I wanted a pair that went with everything. These are a great quality, cubic zirconia that have stood the test of time.
  2. Geometric Phone Case With Ring – I was on the hunt for a phone with a built-in stand so you can prop it up while watching movies (mainly for my kids when they use my phone). I love the pattern on this case and the ring option on the back has been awesome. I love having something to grip on the back of my phone. As someone who is on social media often and emailing for work, it helps a lot!
  3. Portable Speaker  – A few Christmases ago my husband gave me a portable bluetooth speaker and I use it ALL the time. From getting ready in the morning, dance parties with the kids, doing yard work to just about any other time I want to listen to music. It’s so worth it!
  4. Mother’s Circle Pendant – I absolutely love my personalized necklace that I got from Tiny Tags after my last baby was born. I wear this circle pendant almost every day and I love having my kids’ names with me all the time. It’s one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. You can’t go wrong with this.
  5. Flower Bomb Perfume – Perfume is always an easy but thoughtful gift. I tend to like more light and fruity fragrances and this is one of my very favorite scents!
  6. Lounger Shirt – I’m all for comfort, especially on those days when we are just hanging out at home or when I’m lounging after the kid’s go to bed. I found this brand on Amazon last year and I have fallen in love with their joggers and comfy shirts. The fabric is light weight and soft and I LIVE in this outfit. I even asked for more colors this year!
  7. Lounger Jogger – I like my sweats on the loser side, so I went up a size in the pant and they are perfect.
  8.  Faux Fur Throw Blanket  – Every girl loves to curl up with a blanket and get cozy! My faux fur blankets are my favorite to curl up with while watching TV at night. Even my kids are now stealing them from me! They are SO soft and I just can’t get enough.
  9. Patterned Scarf – Scarves are a must on so many levels. I wear them as a scarf or shawl in the winter, and even turn them into table runners, wreaths and a throw blanket for the couch. I ordered the black and green plaid one for my living room this year. And the best part is, I can just grab it on the go if I need some extra warmth.
  10. Moccasins – If you like slippers you will love these. They are SO soft inside and the soles are thick. I won’t be taking mine off this winter!

Hope you were able to get some ideas for your list this year!

But wait! There’s more must-have items from some of your other favorite bloggers.

    I could definitely go for that portable speaker! And I do love all things cozy, so blankets are great.

Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard furniture and decor! Unfortunately, when I get an idea I can’t stop until it’s done 😉. I got an itch to swap out our three chaise lounges for a large U-Shape sectional to create more seating and lounging poolside. I knew there was only one brand who could make this happen… I worked with @polywood to design a sectional that would be a complete custom fit for this little nook. I used the Braxton 6 Seat Sectional and added additional modular seats to get this look. I LOVE how it turned out! They can make anything happen! 

POLYWOOD outdoor furniture is made out of recycled plastics, making it durable in all weather climates. They also have a 20 year warranty.

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character.

My @worxtools Switch Driver and Impact Driver were the real MVP’s of this project! Saving me time and energy. I love how it now doubles as a shelf to display antiques I’ve collected throughout the years and also helps me keep this place organized!
