I know the holiday season can be overwhelming when it seems like EVERYONE is posting gift guides & pushing links, so I greatly appreciate you taking the time to check mine out. My goal was to include items of varying price points, from a variety of stores. All of these items are things that I have either personally owned and/or gifted or plan to gift this year. All items are linked on my LTK (link below) & I do want to mention that I do earn a small commission if you choose to shop through my links – so thank you if you do so!

My “must have” gift from each category (aka my favorites):
For Her: New chateau parka in Italian stadium-cloth wool by J. Crew (especially in Frosted Lilac). Timeless, great quality & a closet staple.
For Him: WorkTunes Black Wireless Hearing Protector with Bluetooth Technology by 3M. We’ve literally bought these for EVERY single man in our family. They’re perfect for mowing the lawn or working in the garage.
For Baby & Toddler: Disney Wooden Toys Character Puzzle by Just Play. Affordable, long lasting & just plain adorable!
For Teens: Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Camera. Let’s face it – retro is in and right now, polaroids are ALL the rage. Do you feel old yet? Because I sure do.
Stocking Stuffers: Chuckle & Roar Pop It! (especially the glow in the dark one!). My kids are OBSESSED with these things and we seriously have like 30 of them.
For Pets: Double Decker Diner Cat and Rabbit Scratch House by Boots & Barkley. If you have a cat, please check out Target’s hilarious assortment of scratch houses because they’re seriously SO GOOD.
Now let’s talk about PERSONALIZED gifts. I can’t make a gift guide without mentioning Wonderbly. Wonderbly allows you to put your child/children into their very own adventure. You can personalize the characters names, hair colors & skin tones AND you can even customize the book itself by selecting your cover color, a personalized front page dedication & more!
This year, I ordered the “Our 12 Days of Christmas” for my family to read together leading up to the holiday. I love this book because it can feature up to 5 family members – children AND adults! I also ordered Amelia the, “Where Are You? Extended Christmas Edition”. While this book is recommended for ages 4-10, I think she’ll enjoy looking through it with Ethan because there is A LOT to look at! These books aren’t your average “search and find” books because you’re searching for…yourself. How cool is that?
