LOWBALL CUP | SUNGLASSES | PULLOVER SWEATERÂ | KNIT CAPÂ | FLASH COOKING SYSTEMÂ | STAINLESS STEEL SHOT GLASSESÂ | TROUT HATÂ | TRAVEL KIT
It has been a crazy week already and it is only Tuesday! Did any of you go shopping this past weekend? I feel like it is already a mad house and I can only imagine what it will be like in 2 more weekends. One thing about getting your shopping done early is that when you go into a store you still end up buying extra items even if you already bought presents for that person. I have done that with 2 of my family members already and I am thinking ok I donât need to give them 5 or 6 presents, that might be a little overboard. One person that I have bought for but still find myself buying more things for is my boyfriend Jeff. Men in general are so hard to buy for, but if you ask them for a wishlist way in advance or look on their AMAZON wish list, it makes things pretty easy. Jeff is a total outdoorsman. If it isnât outdoors he probably isnât doing it, unless that is involving watching a new movie or football. He likes playing golf but what he loves the most is hunting and fishing. During this season it is hunting every weekend so that also gives me extra time to try to think of some things he would not only need, but would like as well.
If you are anything like me we are kind of opposite in that I feel like I donât do much of anything outdoorsy, haha. I guess opposites attract, I mean I did go fishing with him once and actually loved it. I like to do all of my shopping online for the most part if I can and realized that Patagonia is a great brand that all of your outdoor men love. Between jackets and hats this is a great brand to start with. What a lot of outdoor men want are gadgets or supplies that they can use while being outside, or something practical that they can wear whether they are outdoors or hanging on the weekend. A tradition that I started this year was getting an ornament and stocking for Jeff. I plan to stuff it with some fun things he would need. A couple of good options would be golf balls, a YETI COOZIE, or a carabiner (more or less a fancy keychain). Outdoor men love getting gift certificates as well to some of their favorite stores. I think sometimes I hate gifting that, but hey it is a good idea. After dating someone that is for sure an outdoorsman, these gifts should help you out with any of those tough guys you have in your life.
- You can never go wrong with anything Yeti for an outdoorsman. This little LOWBALL CUP would be the perfect little gift for him to take wherever he goes.
- An outdoorsman always needs a great pair of SUNGLASSES for a gift. These are a great inexpensive pair that will be great for wearing all of the time. If you want throw in 2 pairs, that would be even better.
- A PULLOVER is a great gift that he can wear on his hunting/fishing trips, as well as grab a coffee with you!
- If your outdoor man is going to be outdoors during the winter he is going to need a KNIT CAP to keep warm. This one is very versatile and can go with everything.
- Who would have thought this cool gadget could give you a hot drink or food in just over 2 minutes, the FLASH COOKING SYSTEM would be a great gift.
- Look how cute these STAINLESS STEEL SHOT GLASSES are! They all fit back into this stainless steel carrying case and make any outdoor activity more fun.
- Any guy that loves to fish would love this TROUT HAT. I love the colors and how it has that retro vibe to it too.
- I always love to give a new TRAVEL KIT because we all know that guys can get messy and it is the perfect gift that we all know that they need. This one is especially fun for an outdoorsman because of its camo.
Hope you get inspiration for that outdoorsman in your life. Make sure to check out my HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR MEN that I did last year for inspiration for all the men in your life.
COFFEE MUG | CHAMPAGNE ORNAMENTÂ Â | NAPKIN SETÂ Â | SENTIMENT SPREADERS | SERVING BOARD | HOLIDAY CANDLEÂ | TIC TAC TOE SETÂ Â | PINEAPPLE PLATE
The year is quickly coming to an end and there is so much to do before then. I donât know about you but basically every weekend except on the actual holidays is pretty much booked for me. Between company Christmas parties, couples showers, and all of the fun parties in between with your friends, it can be crazy. Trust me though I live for parties and when I donât have something going on at night or on the weekends I kinda feel left out and that I am extremely bored. I am hosting a book club meeting for the first time on Tuesday night and I am looking forward to that. Hosting a get together is something that I always love to do, but unfortunately do not have a huge space to do this. I always say when I get a house one day there will be dinner parties/events all of the time. In the mean time between all of the upcoming parties you have going on there is always going to be a great gift for the hostess friend/family member in your life. These gifts can be given on Christmas as little stocking stuffers or knick knacks as well. I would bring any of these gifts when I am attending an upcoming party because I guess I am old fashioned and donât like to show up to a party without something in my hand. Typically I bring a dessert on a CUTE PLATTER or a bottle of wine. All of these gifts are 10 times better than that and add a little personalized touch. What are some of your favorite gifts to bring the hostess?
- This COFFEE MUG literally speaks to my heart! I mean who hasnât found themselves going to Target for one thing and coming out with a million other items.
- Everyone it seems like has put up their Christmas tree already so a cute CHAMPAGNE ORNAMENT would make their decorations pop even more.
- A hostess always needs some fun NAPKINS to host any type of event. I love these emojiâs I mean who doesnât love including these in text messages, and how cute are these napkins to now entertain.
- There would be no party without some festive SPREADERS. This is the perfect cute little gift to bring for all of the yummy appetizers.
- This SERVING BOARD combines a trendy combo of wood and marble. I have one just like this and it is my favorite thing to display and serve when guests come over.
- I have this CANDLE and it truly smells like Christmas. A CANDLE is great to bring as a hostess gift that they will always use.
- What a fun game and an updated take on a TIC TAC TOE SET. This would be a perfect addition to a coffee table for anyoneâs house.
- The pineapple is the universal sign for hospitality and what better gift idea than this, and it is gold as well! A great PLATTER like this that can be kept out all year and is perfect for a gift.
Now that your holiday shopping has officially started and you are marking everyone down on your list, there is always that one friend or family member that you can think of that is always traveling. I like to call this person the jetsetter and sometimes I feel like I am this person as well. Getting them something that they can use when they travel is so much more beneficial then just giving a random present. I know I like to get things that I will use and also that I probably wouldnât normally buy for myself. Lately I have been traveling a lot for work and could really use some of these items below. I know your jetsetter will love this gift guide! I will be doing several more guides including some upcoming ones with some sales so check that out as well as my COWORKER GIFT GUIDE I did.
JEWELRY CASE: This is probably one of my most essential travel items for keeping your jewelry safe. I always have a nice jewelry case to put my pieces in so that they do not get tangled. I love how this one has an anti tarnish lining as well as plenty of storage space.
EYE MASK: If you want to get plenty of shut eye while traveling then this is the product for you. Not only will you get some good sleep, but you will wake up feeling younger and more beautiful as well. This eye mask also is embedded with copper which is a well known material for skin enhancing benefits. I love two-in-one product!
DUFFEL BAG: I am obsessed with this bag. Luggage to me never looks that cute but this bag is completely different. I like how classic it is in black but also comes in oxblood and cognac. This is the perfect size to fit everything in a carry all. The greatest part is it has a strap as well, talk about functional.
PONCHO: When you are traveling on an airplane the temperature to me always feels cold and uncomfortable. I always have to bring a little sweater or a poncho. I love how ponchos are back because they are probably the most comfortable and easy outer wear.
BEAUTY SET: This little set has everything you need in it to relax and look good. I love their line, especially during Christmas with all of the fun yummy scents. Their products are also very multi functional which is nice too. I am dying to try the lip gloss, it might be just too yummy.
KEY CHAIN: When I donât have a key chain I feel like my keys are lacking something. I have a tassel key chain but am lusting over this monogrammed one. Anything thatâs personalized is always that much better. You could even put this around one of your straps on your bag and it could act as a luggage tag too!
PHONE CASE: You can never have too many different phone cases for your phone. A girl on the go always has to have something stylish to answer in and check in on her latest social media updates. This case speaks right to my heart. It is what I love about weekends. I have another phone case in this same brand and love it.
COMPACT MIRROR: Everyone needs a little compact mirror when they travel and how cute is this one. It looks like an old telephone and is extra girly for all you beauty lovers.

If you are anything like me then the hardest people to buy a gift for is the men in your life. I donât care if it is your dad, brother, boyfriend/husband they seem like they are just so tough. They might say that about us, but at least there is always jewelry to give us! I am always stumped every year at Christmas on what to get my dad and brother and always think of electronics first. Then I end up getting them something that they already have or just not knowing exactly what to give. AMAZONwish lists have helped tremendously this year, and have been a great help on getting them exactly what they want. If your special man in your life does not have a wish list, then I would recommend this gift guide for men. It brings all different types of gifts together for each personality and interest. There is the most useful slippers to a fun game on this gift guide. Hope your favorite man loves these presents!

The Christmas shopping is here and last week I got a lot of it complete for my family and friends which I was so excited about. I love finding little knick knacks and accessories to gift to them that are so unique. Kids and babies are my favorite ones to shop for though. Maybe it is the fact that I donât have that many to buy for and get so excited when I see the items. Every time I go into TARGETI love checking out the little kids section and looking at the little clothes, I know I have baby envy you might say haha! There is something so cute and whimsical about everything that I just love. All you moms or people that need some gifting ideas I hope that this guide helps you out!
Now that Thanksgiving is here it is time to get your Christmas shopping on. Â This guide I put together includes fun items that everyone would love. In my family and with my friends we are quite the entertaining bunch. I love parties and events and getting items to add to a great party is just wonderful. There is that one friend or family member that is always hosting great events. With the holiday season you will be going to several parties and one of these items could be the perfect gift for the entertainer. When games, drinks, and cooking are involved it is bound to be a great event!
MONOGRAM THROW PILLOW COVER: A fun pillow cover that is monogrammed is a great gift that is unique and personable. People like to change out their pillow covers from season to season and this one could even be kept up all year long with the fun metallic accents.
WINE TASTING TRAY: This is a gift that any entertainer needs when they are throwing an event. I have a tray that I use all the time on my coffee table and change out the candles and any other pieces on it periodically. This one is sure to be a hit when filled with drinks.
MEASURING CUPS: Every entertainer needs to have some great recipes lined up. No recipe is complete without the proper ingredients from measuring cups. These are not your typical boring measuring cups. They are stainless steel which makes them durable too.
BINGO KIT: An event is always more fun with a game. This is a twist on classic bingo. Everyone knows how to play bingo already, but this kicks it up a notch with glasses where you can make your own rules for a fun drinking game!
OLD FASHIONED GLASSES: You can never have too many glasses when you are throwing a party. I like how these have a classic vintage design which reminds me of something that would be in the Great Gatsby. Gold is everything and when combined with fancy glasses deserves a toast.
KITCHEN TOWEL: This is a great simple gift for the entertainer who will be in the kitchen making some great food. I like to have fun kitchen towels. When they are this cute I think it mind tricks you into trying not to make a mess!
CHRISTMAS SHIRT: Hosting a party for several people can get a little stressful with all of the preparation work. Once the party sets in, your friend or family would love to receive a shirt like this!
WHISKEY ROCKS: These are probably one of the coolest and functional items. Not only do they not dilute the drink but they can be heated up to make your drink not only cold but hot as well. Everyone should have these on their Christmas list.
SHAKER: This is one item that I do not own, but is on my wish list. If you make any type of cocktails then this is an essential on your bar cart. I love the polka dots and gold which give it a girly flair.
OCCASIONS AND CONTACTS JOURNAL: Any entertainer has to be well organized. She might be hosting several parties a month and does not want to lose track of the little details. This organizer will help her stay on top of things as she prepares and makes routinely calls to all of her important contacts as well.
SERVING BOWL: No party would be complete with out a serving bowl to hold all of the great food items. Everybody will be asking where you found this too cute of a bowl. It is just big enough to hold food to share and the black polka dots are amazing!
COFFEE MUG: I am a big component of funny sayings on coffee mugs. I love mugs and any type of fun cup for that matter. In my cube I have these funny signs with sayings on them that everyone loves. This mug speaks right to my heart and probably every co-worker in my area which would be perfect for a fun little gift and to bring in to meetings đ
STICKY NOTE SET: Someone in the office can never have too many sticky notes to take notes on. I literally put these on everything and write myself little notes to stay organized. I personally like to color code certain things too. This set is super cute with its fun design and even has little notes that say âto doâ on them so you stay extra organized.
HEADPHONES: A great inexpensive headphone set is always great to have in the office. So many times I want to drown everything out and jam. These provide a great sound at a great price!
CARDHOLDER: This is one item that is on my wish list. I always have business cards just thrown in my purse or in a temporary plastic sleeve that is not doing them any justice. A nice card holder like this keeps them stylish, while being practical as well. It is always nice to have a metal one and this one doesnât hurt that it has a fun saying on it too!
CO-WORKER CARD: A card always makes the gift. I typically either do real sappy cards or totally funny ones. This one is too funny because I always feel like there is that one person on your team who you can argue with and they know all of your flaws and keep an eye on you. I know a few people who would love this funny card.
CANDLE: You can never go wrong with a great smelling candle for any occasion. Â This same candle burns in my living room at home and I love it. These type of gifts are something your co-worker can use once they get home and away from all of the work stress.
NOTEBOOK SET: There is something so inspiring about great quotes that are on spirals and other working material that you look at all of the time. From the amount of notes that I take I think I go through at least 1 notepad every month. When I am feeling stressed out it is nice to just take a deep breath and read an inspiring quote that serves as a great planning area as well.
POUR OVER COFFEE KIT: A lot of the time the coffee at your office is not anywhere close to Starbucks. I donât know about you but I drink probably 4 cups a day and I have to have it. This would be a great gift for your co-worker so that they could make the perfect cup of coffee from the convenience of their desk. It includes everything you need to make a great cup of joe all in a cute little pot.
