Gifts for the Guy in Your Life!

December 11, 2023

We’ve reached my final gift guide for the 2023 season! This post is dedicated to gifts for the guy in you life! These items are actual gifts I’m giving this year so I hope they help you check off the last few people on your list!

This post contains affiliate links which means I make a small commission if your purchase any of these items! Everything is linked below and should be able to ship in time if you’re a last minute shopper!

Lululemon Oversized Men’s Fleece

Shop Here

Jordan purchased one of these earlier in the season and really loved it! I decided to get a second one for him for Christmas because it’s one he always wears. The material is SO cozy and its warm, but light weight that you’re not sweating in it. It’s great for the gym or to just wear around as athleisure.

New Balance 574 in White/Gray

Shop Here

The one thing on Jordan’s list this year was shoes. He usually liked whatever I pick out for him and I previously purchase him a neutral pair of nikes so when I saw these new balances I fell in love. Jordan loves a good pair of sneakers and these look so cozy and the colors will just match everything.

Gift Cards

Shop Here

Who doesn’t love a gift card, especially when they’re to all your favorite places? Jordan loves ordering out so Door Dash was a no brainer. I also did a few cards to other places for him like Home Depot, Amazon and Dunkin. I love doing like $20 to a few stores for gift cards because then they get a few bucks to go all around to their favorite places.

I hope this gifts for the guy in your life gift guide gives you some gifting inspo! I love keeping it so simple by sticking to whatever the person really loves. People can drive themselves crazy with trying to get the perfect gift and honestly, any gift is special from someone you love!!

Christmas Presents for Her this Christmas!!

December 5, 2022

I am sharing my exact Christmas list in this post so get ready!! These are mostly items I’m purchasing for myself but I love see what’s on other peoples list! It helps give you some inspo on what’s currently in and what people are looking for! This Christmas presents for her will be helpful because sometimes you just get so stuck if you don’t have any starting point!

These are affiliate links which means I get a small commission if you purchase through these links but there’s no pressure to purchase! I tried to create these posts as close to upload date as possible so hopefully everything is still in stock!

Thera Gun

Shop Here

As a dance teacher, I get so sore and this just looks like something I’d love! A nice massage to work on my tired muscles after a long day just sounds so lovely! You can actually purchase different attachments on the smaller version so I am just very excited to get my hands on one of these!

Aritzia Sweatsuit

Shop Here for Top

Shop Here for Bottoms

This was definitely on my list last year and is on my list again this year! I love these sweat sets because they are such good quality! Definitely pricy but you’ll have them forever. One thing about Aritzia is you do have to be patient because they definitely also are sold out but if you pre-order you’ll eventually get what you want!

Our Place Perfect Pot

Shop Here

When I look at this pot all I want is soup! I have the Always Pan that I am obsessed with! It seriously does it all and I cannot wait to get my hands on this pot! The only downside is it can’t be baked in but I definitely still want it for soups and chilis this winter!!

Clogs

Shop Here

I have been trying everything to get myself the Boston Berkenstocks but that just isn’t happening considering they’re sold out always. I am obsessed with this look and these are super cheap. This dupe definitely looks like the actual pair and if you really want them now and not to wait, these are a good alternative!

Hair Crimper

Shop here

I lowkey am getting sick of regular curls so I’ve had my eye on this waver for awhile now! This is a fun look for special occasions and it just spices up your hair. I love this one because it’s not too expensive so if you find out that it’s not necessarily for you, you didn’t spend a fortune on it!

I hope you love this gift guide!! These are things I’m actually asking for this holiday season or purchasing for myself! Be sure to check out my other gift guides here so you don’t miss out on gift ideas!!

Best Christmas Presents for Pets!!

November 28, 2022

I absolutely love this time of year because I love sharing my gift guides! I figured I would kick off this series with the best Christmas presents for pets! Furry friends are usually the easiest to grab for but I wanted to put together this really unique list of presents you’ll both love!

I love shopping for my Frenchie Sky all year so I always find Christmas to be tricky! You don’t want to purchase too many things you know they won’t use but you want to make them feel like part of the family! This list is actual things I am planning on or already have purchased for her this year!

Furbo 360 Pet Camera

Shop Here

This camera will truly be game changer as I have the original but this one swivels! You can turn it all the way around which means you have full view of the room your pet is in. I have such piece of mind knowing I can see Sky when I’m not home and I love that now I can literally see everything. I also pay for the Furbo dog nanny subscription which means it sends me all sorts of notifications on things she’s doing! This is also a great gift idea if you don’t want a whole new camera!

Béis Pet Carrier

Shop Here

Now that the world is open again we’ve been doing a lot of traveling with Sky! For some reason she only likes to sit on my lap in the car which isn’t safe at all so she will be getting this travel carrier this Christmas! We’ve tried car seat but I love this one because it’s TSA approved and fits dogs up to 30 lbs which she is! I like that this expands and has an attachment to slide a seatbelt through or just your suitcase handles so she’s secure!

Pet Stroller

Shop Here

Now this was something I didn’t know I needed, until I got it! I joked for awhile that I was getting stroller for long walks but I finally got one and it has changed everything! First of all, Sky loves it! We went to the boardwalk with it and she even walked around on Halloween in it! It’s perfect for her when we’re in busy places that make be nervous to have her on the leash. This one was also incredibly inexpensive and she fits perfectly in it.

Bocce’s Treat Subscription Box

Shop here

First of all, have you ever seen anything cuter?? Also, this treat box seriously makes her month! We signed up for this box because I love the ingredients they use and all the flavors Sky loves! This is a great gift idea because this ensures that you’re only getting what you need every month! From treats, to poop bags and dental treats this box has everything you and your dog or cat need to get through the month!

Walking Leash

Shop here

Sky and I are obsessed with this hands free leash! It makes my life so easy because I have 2 hands to do whatever I need with. She’s also not big so this works perfectly for us because she’s not pulling me down. This is perfect for coffee runs or now as it gets colder you can keep your hands warm in your pockets and she still gets a walk in!

I hope these best Christmas presents for pets gave you some ideas on what to get your furry friend this holiday season! Filling up a stocking for her is also my favorite so I always add her treats and favorite bones in that!

My Holiday Gift Guide 2021

November 29, 2021

I can hardly believe it’s December! I’m so excited to be sharing my 2021 Holiday Gift Guide with you. Gift guides are one of my favorite things to read this time of year. Sometimes it’s so hard to figure out what to get someone so I thought I’d break down some ideas for you. This curated list is sure to check everyone off your list!

For Her

Ugg Slippers – Shop Here

This is probably one of my favorite gifts to both give and receive. Ugg slippers are functional yet so comfortable so I know they’ll get good use to whoever I give them too. I like to think of this as a safe bet because who doesn’t love cozy slippers for the winter?

Perfume Gift Set- Shop Here

This is a gift that just keeps on giving from Sephora. Not only do you get to try all of these perfumes but you get a voucher to go back and get the full size of any of these! That is seriously such a deal and great for someone who likes perfume but your not quite sure what kind they like.

Kindle- Shop Here

For the reader in your life, the Kindle is the perfect gift. I recently switched over to reading on a Kindle because it saves space but also, Amazon often has “Kindle Deals” making reading more affordable. You can pair the Kindle with an Amazon gift card or a Kindle Unlimited membership to have whoever you give this too set for the year!

Barefoot Dreams Robe- Shop Here

One thing I love about gift giving is getting someone something they wouldn’t usually buy themselves. I love my Barefoot Dreams robe but I definitely wouldn’t have gotten it unless it was a gift. These robes are so cozy and give you that hotel at home vibe.

Our Place Always Pan- Shop Here

This is on my personal wishlist. I have gotten really into cooking over the past year and I am obsessed with good pans. I have seen this pot all over Instagram and I am so interested in trying it out. This is perfect for the chef in your life because this pan apparently can replace a lot of other in your kitchen!

For Him

Nike Jacket- Shop Here

This might seem like such a basic gift but how many guys do you know with a rain jacket? This Nike one is nice because it can double as just a rain jacket or an everyday jacket too. I tend to be really practical with the gifts I give and I know for a fact that something like this is an essential that will get everyday use.

Men’s SkinCare- Shop Here

I love getting the guys in my life a good skincare set. I feel like they secretly are pretty into skincare but would never buy it themselves. Sephora has some really great ones like this one that are affordable by still give that luxury skincare vibe.

Ugg Boots- Shop Here

These men’s Ugg boots are functional but also super comfy on the inside. I know that we all love our Ugg boots so why not get a sophisticated version for the guy in your life. These are so stylish and perfect to wear all winter long.

Men’s Cardholder- Shop Here

Most of us don’t carry cash anymore so these little cardholders are perfect to replace a bulky wallet. Getting the man in your life a nice wallet like this is functional and will help to elevate their style as well.

Gift Card Bundle

This is seriously like my go to gift if I really don’t know what to get someone. I’ll grab a whole bunch of gift cards to different stores so that they can actually pick out exactly what they want. I find this to be more thoughtful because maybe they have a few different favorite stores or they are saving towards something and this will help them get exactly what they want.

Furry Friend

Barefoot Dreams Sweater- Shop Here

This is Sky’s favorite sweater to put on. They are literally like a blanket for her and keep her so cozy and warm all day. Definitely a pricy sweater for your pet but I swear your dog will thank you for getting them the comfiest sweater around.

Bark Box Subscription- Shop Here

This is something that I actually put on Sky’s Christmas list this year. I’m not obsessed with the treats they come with but I think the toys are adorable and she’ll love getting them. She already thinks all the Amazon boxes that come are for her so I know she’ll get so excited for all the fun that these boxes have in them.

New Bowls- Shop Here

One thing I think all pets could use are a refresh of their things. We got Sky new bowls because she had the others for like 2 years so it was time. I also think this is a great time to get them a new bed or a favorite blanket so they get something new and cozy just in time for winter.

Wild One Harness- Shop Here

I love Sky’s Wild One harness. It seriously is so cute but of course keeps her locked in and safe on our walks. Finding a harness for her because she’s a Frenchie was difficult but I seriously love having this harness in her wardrobe because it’s cute and functional. She also can fall asleep with this on which is a sign that she’s also comfy in it!

Dog Camera- Shop Here

This is a gift for not only your pet but you too! You get piece of mind while you’re out of the house and your pet will get treats! I love my Furbo. I got it soon after we got Sky and we have been using it every single time we go out without her ever since. This product is so worth it for new and pro pet parents!

This holiday gift guide will seriously help me to check a lot of people off my list and I hope it will help you too! I’ve been there when you just can’t think of anything to get so I hope this gift guide gets you through your shopping this year!

I have a gift guide for her and for him already up on my blog if you want to check it out! Let me know some of the things on your wishlist in the comments below!
