Gift Guide for the Foodie!

November 27, 2023

I am back with another gift guide for the foodie in your life! This is perfect for the person who loves to cook or honest just spend time in the kitchen! I’ve recently discovered my love of cooking and have some of these items on my wish list this year!

This post contains affiliate links so I make a small commission if you chose to shop from them! All opinions are my own!

Our Place Always Pan

Shop here

If you’ve been here awhile, you know I can’t stop talking about this pan! I’ve mentioned it in my 2022 Christmas list & my cooking favorites posts! This pan has really made me excited to cook different recipes because it makes the cooking and cleanup so easy. They just recently came out with a bigger size and a smaller size so no matter what you need, Our Place has you covered!

Dutch Oven

Shop Here

I have recently become a bread maker and my dutch oven has made it so easy! I will be sharing an easy recipe soon but I seriously think a dutch oven is a great gift! You can do so much with it from baking to just making pasta on top of the stove. Having it in my pot rotation means my possibilities are endless and if the foodie in your life doesn’t have one yet, they’re missing out!

Knife Set

Shop Here

This is actually something I don’t have but definitely have on my list. I have a few knives I love but I really would like a set that all matches and is just fresh. I love the color of these and the matching scissors just elevate this set for me. Knives are so essential for cooking and if who you’re shopping for doesn’t have them yet, they’ll definitely make a great gift!

I hope this gift guide for the foodie gave you a few ideas! The holidays are coming up quickly so don’t wait to get your holiday shopping done! You can check out my gift guides from last year here!

Christmas Presents for Him 2022!

December 7, 2022

The final piece of my 2022 gift guide is here! I’m sharing my go to Christmas presents for him this year! I love curating theses lists because they’re actually things I’m purchasing this year for the people in my life.

These items all have affiliate links so I do make a small commission if you purchase through them! Hopefully they’re all still in stock when you go to purchase, I tried to create this post as close to upload date as possible!

Gymshark Set

Shop Top Here

Shop Bottoms Here

Gymshark makes some really great active pieces especially for men. I really almost everything that they have on the website because they’re just great basics. I feel like everyone can always these pieces so you can’t really go wrong with anything from their webstie!

UGG Slippers

Shop Here

Did you think we’d get through a gift guide series without UGG? My go to gift is always a nice pair of slippers or boots. It’s something people wouldn’t necessarily ask for but that they would use every day if they got it. Not to mention, UGG has seriously made a comeback so truly everything that’s on the website could work for your whole family.

Winter Jacket

Shop Here

This might be a little trickier to gift unless you really know the person. I love a good jacket and I feel like boys just don’t prioritize outerwear like they should. I love this Nike jacket because it’s an elevated basic where you can wear it dressed down or up. Most men don’t even have a jacket so this is definitely a good gift because it’s an essential.

Coffee Maker

Shop Here

This could be for him or her, but if you have a coffee lover this is the gift for them! Most people either buy coffee everyday or refuse to upgrade their dinosaur of a maker. Getting a new one is so exciting because they can really do it all now. From frothing to shots the new coffee makers are serious about bringing the coffee shop to your house. I love this one and think the guy in your life would love it too!

Tool Organizer

Shop Here

All men have tools but I can guarantee they aren’t organized. This set from Amazon is super inexpensive and can work in any little storage system. I stopped getting the tools or gift cards to these stores because they definitely don’t need more things, they just need a place to organize them. You can even go bigger and get a big container for storage depending on how much room you have!

I hope this gift guide gave you some good ideas!! These Christmas presents for him are sure to be a hit this holiday! All these pieces are carefully curated so you give the best gift this holiday! Be sure to check out my other gift guides here!

PS as I am writing this Abercrombie also has some really nice men’s pieces if you’re still stumped!

Affordable Holiday Outfit Inspiration

December 6, 2021

One of the most exciting times to style outfits is right around the holidays. I’m always looking for affordable holiday outfit inspiration to build a great look so I thought I would share some of my ideas. I like to have options because sometimes you just don’t know what you’re going to be doing until the day of. With these looks, I have you covered from everything to glammed up holiday to NYE in your pajamas!

Look 1: Casual Holiday Spirit

This look screams elevated comfort to me. This is probably the vibe I’ll be going for this holiday season. I love the sophisticated sweater paired with the edgy leather boots and skirt. I chose to style it with a simple pearl headband and you’re set for a holiday party. One thing I find is that I don’t love to wear read or green for the holidays which is why I went for white. Still festive, but not overly festive.

Look 2: Holiday at Home

After creating this post, I put all of these pieces into a cart and checked out. This is seriously a Christmas dream. With Covid, everyone’s holiday plans are so up in the air or just different than usual so why not have a cozy look ready to go. Not to mention, this set is from Target and was incredibly affordable for how nice it looks. I paired it with slipper, maybe you just got them for Christmas from my gift guide and a soft scrunchy. Simple yet cozy and giving me all the holiday feels.

Look 3: Glammed Up Holiday

I mean this velvet green dress is everything. I usually don’t do anything crazy for the holidays where I would need a look like this but I might just get this dress to have. Green or red on the holidays isn’t always my favorite but these deep almost forest green is festive but doesn’t screen Christmas. I paired this with neutral gold hinted accessories and you’re set for your glam holiday party.

Look 4: New Year’s Glam

Let me just tell you, I am all for the sparkle on New Year’s Eve and this dress from Lulus is seriously doing it for me. I love how the dress isn’t super structured so the sequins don’t sit weird. One thing I hate usually about glitter dresses is they end up sitting weird but with this material it looks great. I paired it with these subtly sparkly Steve Madden heels and these incredibly affordable earrings.

Shop this Look:

Look 5: Cozy Ball Drop

Nothing says New Year to me than new pajamas. These silk Skims ones are to die for and give you a little bit of that glam feel you want for NYE but get to be comfy. I paired this with another pair of super cozy slippers and of course, the iconic Barefoot Dreams blanket. Ring in the New Year cozy but looking and feeling great.

This was such a fun post to put together. I love styling outfits but never thought of putting them together for a post like this. I’m trying to step up my content in the new year so please let me know if you have been enjoying the recent posts!

My affordable holiday outfit ideas are perfect for whatever you have this holiday season so be sure to check out all of the pieces linked! As always, I make a small commission off of the links but there is no pressure to purchase. I’ll see you again next Monday for another new post!
