+answering all your gift requests
Good morning!
All my favorite glassware gifts here
How is everyone’s week going? I can not believe this is the kid’s last week of school before Thanksgiving. I kept thinking the holiday was so late this year and we had so much time but it’s already around the corner. My in-laws are coming in on Thursday to celebrate Grandparents Day at the kids school on Friday and they are absolutely thrilled. I’m hoping to wrap up some work projects so I can unplug and enjoy next week with the kids since Trevor will sadly be working all week.
I was blown away at how many gift requests I once again received this week so I’m going to try to answer as many as I can and don’t forget I shared a previous installment here.
Secret Santa gift for woman around $30
Okay, you know how I feel about these tote bags. They have every kind of pocket you can imagine and I promise every single person could find a use for them. If you want to step it up, they have personalization you could add a new married name, nickname, or whatever you think they may use the bag for. This new Sherpa Tote & Metallic Style are fabulous too!
17 yo daughter who likes clothes & makeup
Listen, I am only gathering this intel from my nieces and cousins daughters but I would go with makeup. This blush trio is the cutest gift set and my favorite makeup product, this lip product is on my personal list, and I have heard this cream is all the rage.
7 yo boy — what are you getting Zain?
I’ve been trying to keep a running list on my phone of things he would enjoy! We usually send ideas to both our parents so these are not all things we will personally buy but some ideas.
This has already been ordered after he played on it at a friend’s house and became obsessed, tbd on if I will regret it, ha.
We own this 3D pen and it’s been amazing, he has owned it for years and continues to use it.
We always have a LEGO set on our lists and he has been very into the City series
I’m trying to decide if I will regret this but he’s been very into basketball lately and would love this
How cool is this robot toy? I thought the reviews were promising!
I’ll try to update ideas over on stories as I come across them!
Bougie sister under $100
I would do perfume! This can be personal but personally speaking I have only ever worn one of two scents and haven’t met someone who doesn’t also like them. I bought this one in Paris but they recently started selling it online and recently added this scent to my rotation and love.
White Elephant for all genders under $100
Who doesn’t love an Ember Mug? I promise you they are never on sale for under $100 so take advantage and gift it to someone or yourself, you won’t regret it!
Husband who has everything
Here are a few things I have bought previously that have gone over well at various price points:
Trevor has become obsessed with my Theragun Sense and now keeps it on his nightstand, highly recommend!
A great pair of boots that he may not buy for himself, will wear forever.
We both love this Trio of Knives but they are unmatched and were a great gift.
I’m sad they discontinued Trevor’s favorite pants that I know so many of you have bought but I decided on these and think they will be a hit!
A luxury gift for a sister that has it all
These wine glasses are a true luxury and I cherish them, would make a great gift. Also, love this card holder! I would also consider a fun experience gift like a spa service or wonderful massage. If you are local, Beth who owns Louisville Therapeutic Massage is the best and I’ve given her gift cards as presents many times!
MIL who has everything
Depending on budget, this pillowcase is wonderful and possibly something she wouldn’t have bought herself. I also love these towels and find them so indulgent, would be a great gift!
White Elephant for girlfriends under $50
I always love an ornament as a gift and these matchbox city ornaments are perfect!
These Birkenstock Clogs are on sale for $40 and so good!
Love this Bookworm Puzzle
A friend gave me these for my birthday and I use them every single day, possibly one of the best and most useful gifts I’ve ever received
These slippers are so good and only $15!!!
4 yo daughter — what are you getting Zahra?
I’ve also been keeping a list for Za and here’s what I have so far:
We own these but if you don’t have a sleeping bag, they are a huge hit!
How cute is this mini karaoke machine? She will love it!
She has been very into Frozen lately so I already snagged this set!
I also stumbled upon this set on sale with a coupon to stack and ordered! Tiles are the one toy that my children never stop using and I thought she would love this set with a twist.
Our kids both own these bears and love them too, easier to manage than the floor options.
Zahra loves a good bathrobe and these are the most luxurious and I love the personalization. If you want a more affordable option, we love these too.
Mondo Llama never disappoints and I grabbed the kids this and this!
Hope that helps and you all have an amazing Wednesday!
