Gifts for the Gals

Gifts for the Gals








Gifting time is here!! I love nothing more than picking out fun stuff for my sister, mom and friends!
I have nearly everything from above and put some things on here that I hope to get.
Now let's talk about these lovely things...


Lush Bath Bomb-ummm "bomb" is right! I am OBSESSED with these and they make a relaxing bath even better...just add a glass of wine!
Barefoot Dreams Throw-snuggle time will never be the same after wrapping yourself in this little piece of heaven. My sister recently bought me one for my birthday and I can't watch tv without it!
Dohm noise machine-Do yourself a favor and buy this now for yourself and everyone you know. We literally can't sleep without this at night. It puts you in a tranquil trance and gives you the most wonderfully sound sleep! Even my dogs love it!
Nest Sugar Cookie candle-I thought nothing could touch the Nest pumpkin chai candle until I smelled the sugar cookie....amazing! You will be able to smell this deliciousness throughout your house and can pretend you baked.
Cravings cookbook- I LOVE Chrissy Teigen, so I'm not shocked that I love her cookbook! It's filled with the best recipes and for someone who DOES NOT cook...this makes me look good.
Mackenzie Childs tea kettle-even if you don't make tea, this is the perfect little touch to any kitchen. I love buying this kettle for special occasions and it always is a hit!
MAC holiday set-I look forward to the MAC holiday makeup sets every year and this year may be my favorite! The glitter is SO pretty and this is the perfect gift for the girl who loves sparkle.


Whether it's in a stocking or wrapped up in a bow under the tree....any girl would be stoked to get these awesome presents!

Velvet Crush

Velvet Crush








I am OBSESSED with all things velvet this fall! I'm so happy this yummy (did I just use that word?) fabric has made a comeback!
I'm loving the gem tone colors for fall/winter in velvet and have chosen some of my favorites to share with you guys.
Now if only I could find those black velvet overalls I had freshman year of high school......

Even though they pretend they don't, men love getting VDay goodies, too. I usually get my (now) husband something fun and not too elaborate.
I have picked out some of my favorite gift ideas that I am sure your guy will love. We sometimes have to make them feel special, too :)

Shower Season!

Shower Season!

 




Not going to lie....besides being love and planning a gorgeous wedding, shower gifts have made this whole engagement thing not so bad.

I am SO blessed to have the most amazing friends and family who have thrown us the best showers ever!  It has been like Christmas and my birthday all rolled into one!

If I could give ANY advice to brides it would be to register for things you really need, want and at different price points (not all of your friends are going to show up with a Vitamix).

We have gotten several of the amazing gifts I have listed above and if I HAD to pick my TOP 2 FAVS it would be the All Clad Slowcooker and the Vitamix.  These two gifts have made my crazy life a little more tolerable.

Most registries consist of kitchen and home needs like cookware and kitchen gadgets. Don't be afraid to register for some fun stuff too! People like to buy you things you want as well as what you actually need. I suggest items like Apple TV, airline gift cards, board games, or even portable Bluetooth speakers.

Another little tip for you little brides out there....write 'thank you' notes IMMEDIATELY after receiving a gift. Then, write down your gift and who it is from in a notebook with a  check mark next to it.  If you can stay on top of this, it will make it easier on you.

This whole process goes by so quickly, so enjoy every moment of it!
