{Gift Guide For The Tween & Teen}

Alright! This may be the last of the gift guides (except for a few last minute things I will add to my shopping bag page!?) Most of you have said that the hardest to shop for on your list are the Tween & Teens in your life, well here it is!

Hair Chalk - I mean I sort of want to try this! And don't fret it doesn't stay longer than a few days in your hair!

Smartphone Printer (totally would love this myself!! ) This Polaroid Snap Instant Digital Camera is also a fab idea (and under $100!)

On the hunt for a table? Well look no further, Verizon sent this Asus ZenPad Z8 one over and it has been a bed-rest dream. Perfect for sneaking in my Netflix Gilmore Girls marathon, while Z naps next to me and hello Amazon Prime for all of my Christmas shopping. This one is affordable (and has different payment options at your local Verizon store).

Too Faced Melted Merry Kissmas Liquified Lipstick Set - because what teen doesn't love some choices in what lippie to wear!

Metallic Skirt - how cute would these be with tights and chucks or dressed up for a holiday party?

Something else that sparkles? these adorable Kate Spade studs!

Sneaks - and these are easy to twin with the whole family if you're into that thing... Which I totally am.

This pom pom hat, is everything. And perfect for your stylish niece (or daughter) who may be too cool to keep warm...

Portable Record Player - I love this for the young music lover in your life. Zoe has one that belonged to her Nonna when she was little and it's her favorite now, I can only imagine when she gets older and can play her own records.

Fabriq Smart Speaker (works with Amazon's Alexa voice service).

Tile - have a teen that is FOREVER losing their keys/phone/whatever? Well this little gadget will keep it trackable. Also amazing for preggo or mommy brain.

Beats 2 in 1-ear headphones - keep their music to themselves.... ha!

Have a bowtie loving dude in your life, well this company is a Boston company and I love love love this Periodic Table one!

Adidas Camo FR Track Pants - love these and they come in littles + big boy sizes (for must twinning).

Absolutely love these Giving Keys necklaces for any lady in your life but especially for a tween/teen, one word you want them to concentrate on, BELIEVE is my choice. Believe in yourself, believe in what you can do.... You can also choose your own from a selection of words and finishes.

Happy Thursday my friends.

{Gift Guide: For Him}

Hello there loves, happy weekend!

I know you guys may be sick of all the gift guides but I am almost done, and I have gotten such great feedback that I figured I'd keep them coming. We had a few rough days with baby but looks like we are (hopefully, knock on wood) making it to at least 34 weeks, which is huge. An update coming soon.

Stay tuned for a round-up of meals I am making (and freezing for when baby arrives) + my favorite hot chocolate recipe that my cousin introduced me too and I can't get enough of!

The absolute hardest person to shop for in my house is the hubby. But this year he helped me put together this gift guide of things that he loved in the past (and a few I've added). So I atleast know that he likes what he get's! HA!

___________________________________

For the sneaker lover, these suede sweeties are a must give. (and on sale!)

This Boston Strong bowtie (and a bunch of other adorable ones) is from a Boston based company and perfect the bowtie wearing man, or simply one that you wish were wearing a bowtie!! (also perfect a gift for that work gift exchange!)

Marc Jacobs Watch, which to be honest I would love myself! ha! Sleek but not too showy and perfect for the guy that wears his casual watch non-stop. (and under $150!)

Have a traveler in your life, well this water resistant and very organized backpack if perfect for the dude that prefers to skip the briefcase. It can actually double as perfect "dad bag" for when he is out with the kiddos! (just make sure and pack it for him... lol)

Is it weird that I love a man in pj's? like the realllll kind. (if your man is like mine and won't be sporting the plaid on plain, then try this tee/pant.

My hubby is a huge fan of Cole Haan shoes for work, and these Chukka's would easily go from work to weekend, plus they are water resistant for clearing the driveway before leaving the house!

For the book lover (and social media obsessed) - You've Been Publicly Shamed - or perhaps the conspiracy loving reader would enjoy Fight Club 1 & Fight Club 2 or The Better Man Project for the self health reading dude (everything from how to do the perfect chin up to how to build a snow fort for your kids. Sort of digging this one myself!

Keep your dresser top organized by gifting this organizer to the man in your life!

Some leather slippers (these are a bit pricey for slippers but so good looking! splurging on something I know he would never splurge on! not in your budget, try these under $50 or these under $20).

I should put these Sonos speakers on every gift guide, we have accumulated one for almost every room and we absolutely love them. This one is perfect for his office, man cave or try this bar (we have in our family room) for his tv watching pleasure!

These wireless and noise canceling headphones + a sleek stand are another winning gift in my eyes. The hubby loves his (from a couple years ago) and uses them at work (or these wireless ear buds for the tech commuter in your life). (also loving this iPad stand!)

Cologne that smells good to us and him. And the packaging. Fav.

Have an art lover to gift to? Well Artlifting is pretty cool, it showcases the are of people experiencing homelessness or disability. Although the originals can get pretty pricey (or at least all the ones I love are!) the prints can easily add some style to any wall. This FENWAY print one is something I know a lot of guys in my life would love.

Work Bench & Shelving System - The perfect gift for the handy man in your life, or the one you have a huge honey-do list for! ha! I got one of these for the hubby and it has helped contain his work are in our basement, although we hope to one day finish the basement for now it's mainly storage and his "work are".

For the man that cooks! Love this apron (would happily borrow it too!!)

Totally including the Google phone that Verizon sent over, although my hubby is a hardcore Apple fan he was impressed with the video/camera and battery of this phone. So if your man is in the market for a new phone this Google Pixel XL is a must try.

Fun socks are a perfect gift or stocking stuffer.

{A Gift For Her}

A little something for every lady in your life! Hoping to get up a His and Tween/Teen Guide up today too, so stay tuned!!

______________________________________________________________________________

I can guarantee you that ANYTHING from the Tata Harper line will be a HIT with any lady in your life but this mask (and this body oil) are ABSOLUTE favorites of mine. Next on my list is this lip & cheek tint.

Another thing on my list is the tote organizer, perfect for a busy mama (or any one really!).

I am in love with this layered letter necklace, I'd choose the hubby and both babes initials on here!

I want these leather bracelets, not only do they have positive messages but they are also so rocker chic!

Cookbooks are my jamn this one by my fav Chrissy Tiegen is a MUST, absolutely everything in it is delicious + this one by my favorite food blog is great for those of us that like to cook up delicious healthy meals.

Absolutely in LOVE with Artifact Uprising and their photo gifts, hoping to put together a book for Z with a gift card I got a while back!

PJ's + Slippers are always welcomed by any lady I know, I just bought myself these soft pj's and went back for two more pairs for my hospital bag!

Verizon Google Pixel XL - The folks at Verizon sent over this phone and I've only had it for about a week but I am honestly considering a switch from the iPhone, the camera, video and long lasting battery on this thing are all mama must have's!!! Plus your photos/videos are loaded into your Google Drive so it is never full. No more deleting pics to capture the moment, ha!

A Cashmere Wrap is probably the most versatile gift you can give, from travel to hiding baby spit up, to keeping you warm. (25% off right now!)

Vega Coffee roast sampler paired with a coffee grinder and a beautiful drip coffee maker (perfect for any coffee lover or the new mama in your life!)Love this package by Healthy Mama for the preggo in your life. Can't tell you how much I've loved all of these products.

In love with this Faux Fur Travel blanket- perfect for the lady with the new apartment or one that is always redecorating! and on sale!!

This mixer is probably the best gift I ever received. I use it a few times a week and absolutely love the attachments, the second bowl is a huge plus if you know of someone who has one and bakes often!

Love this monogram business card holder, and for $30 dollars it is a great gift for your work bestie!

Love these short Hunter rain boots - easier for the mama with her hands full (or anyone else that has as much trouble taking them off as I do... hello large calfs!)

(***these packable ones are on sale!)

A watch is a perfect gift for that busy mama in your life, loving this fancy pants Fitbit or the rose gold and leather one that goes from day to night.

A weekend bag is always s great idea, can be used from weekend trips and a carry-on. This expandable one pictured is a bit of a splurge + love this one that is a steal under 80$!

This Decanter + electric corkscrew are the absolute perfect gift for the hostess for the mostess!

You can also never go wrong gifting sunglasses (especially to a gal like me that collects them!) and these may be cheapo but trendy and sooo cute (loving these ones too!)
