For the men in your life:
Dude Robe
Your man does not need to look like an old-time-y grandpa to be comfy! This thing is super soft, comfy and has (finally!) tapered sleeves and more of a hoodie feel and look for a practical, stylish look. |
|
For Your Busy, Beautiful, Bestie
Oversized Bougie-like Sunglasses
When I went to grab the URL for these sunglasses that honestly, should be called “Traveling Pants Sunglasses” because they look absolutely amazing on everybody, Amazon kindly informed me that “you have purchased this five times.” 🥴
But! At only 22 bucks a pop, who cares??? I mean, that’s less than one pair of Ray-Ban’s. Look amazing for way way way less and if they get scratched or lost who cares??? |
|
For the Insomniac, The Book Lover, The Music Obsessed (pretty much everybody🤣)
The BEST Bluetooth Eye Covers
Every year I include eye covers in my gift guide. But this year, I legit have found the very best eye covers ever!
What makes them so great and different than the rest? They turn off automatically which saves a ton of battery life but also if you wake up in the middle of night and you want to go back to your audio book or your spa music or your hypnotherapy app you just simply turn them right back on ~ they Bluetooth right up no problem and they are the most comfortable and the least sweaty of all eye covers I have ever worn and believe me I probably have 12 or 15 different types!
This is good for EVERYONE on your list! |
|
| For Your Green Friend on Your list
Blueland Eco-Friendly Cleaners
I can’t lie, I’ve been feeling horrible about using all these big huge gigantic plastic jugs for laundry and that’s just the beginning of it all! Not only do my clothes get clean and smell really good (and I have teens!) I’m no longer massively contributing to the gigantic plastic problem. I’ve also done the dishwasher tablets and the bathroom and multi purpose cleaners and I am so pleased! Get a starter set for under $40! And the refills are even less… |
|
| For the Traveler
The Foldie
I was kind of skeptical about this but after a quick tutorial on their website on how to actually fold it up, this thing is great! Drop it in your suitcase and on the way back after shopping and souvenir stores, you have this gigantic bag for everything it’s amazing. Also, there’s a waterproof pocket! It’s really a dream come true and you can get it in every cool color. I got this for my very best friend (shhhhh). |
|
| For the Girl on the Go
Bracelets that double as hair ties
There are so many options here and they are all so adorable you can wear them as bracelets and then when you need a hair tie it’s right there! A lot of times these cute hair ties hurt or they have weird things attached to them they get caught in your hair, this is not the case with these. My daughter loves them! |
|
| For the Water Journey Focused
This is not a normal water bottle! First of all, it’s gigantic! My personal trainer calls it a “kiddie pool”🤣 but it also has a handle! The bottom is big enough so it won’t tip over if you’re in your car, and there’s a cover for the place where you put your mouth! I love love love love love this water bottle and it’s only nine dollars!!! |
|
For the Beach Bum
Beach bag with floppy hat holder
This thing solves a problem that I didn’t even know that I had until after I had this bag! You can fit a towel in it, any sunblock or glasses or even a drink or whatever but on the side it’ll hold your hat! I’m not always wanting to wear the hat at all times and I don’t want to cram it in a beach bag but I need it as an option, you know!? Here’s your option! |
|
For the Cool Abode
Boho Doorway Decor
This is such a cute option for any doorway. It worked great in my unfinished basement where I wanted to kind of keep the teenagers out. It adds a hip and cool element to any room I love this thing! |
|
| For the kid who loves Legos (But secretly for you!)
Lego Floral Arrangement
My kid had a great time putting this together and now I have a bouquet of flowers that never dies! I absolutely love it it’s in the middle of my kitchen and it’s perfect and wonderful and gorgeous and everyone always complements me on it and he feel so accomplished because he’s the one who put it together! |
|
Best earbuds ever! Hint: they aren’t AirPods
Soundcore Noise Canceling Ear Buds
If you know me, you know I got a thing for music ~ all the time! And I’m kind of picky about my headphones and earbuds. I think these sound better than Beats and I think do away better job of noise canceling and fitting in your ears comfortably than AirPods. Plus, if your kid (or you!) loses them, it’s not that big of a deal because they’re about a third of the price of fancy AirPods. You’re welcome! |
|
For the Wanna Be Journaler
One Line A Day ~ Five Year Journal
We know that journaling is supposed to be good for your soul but I also just read that it’s really good for your memory need to record your days. This is a no-pressure journal. All you do is write one line each day. It’s really good for you and it’s really fun to look back. |
|
For the Skincare Enthusiast
Jade Roller
My teen is obsessed with skincare, is yours? She loves this thing! I can’t lie, I do too. It feels so cold and refreshing around tired eyes and it makes sure that your moisturizer is evenly distributed on your face. It’s quite lovely. |
|
| For the Lover of Cards
Waterproof Deck
My family loves to play cards. Everywhere! Especially for waiting for a table… but the cards always get so nasty because they’re on restaurant tables. Gross! Now, are these extra cool because now we have a hot tub! Wet cards? No problem! These are a great gift for someone whether they have a pool, a hot tub, or if they just find themselves wiping off cards all the time. Yuck! I love these. ☺️ |
|
For the Pizza Lover
Pizza Scissors
These are the greatest invention since sliced bread. For sure! We use them every time we have pizza. They don’t stick, cut great, and work as a serving spatula. Love it, right? Almost everybody on your list will want a pair. |
|
For the Guy Who Has Everything…but THIS!
Car Door Custom Light
I got this for my father-in-law and they were a huge hit! Since then I’ve gotten them for everybody because they’re only 15 bucks for two! Simply upload a logo or a design and then simply attach the little plastic box to the side of your car door and every time you open your door your logo lights up the ground. I got one for my car…love it! Yessssss~ it’s super cool! |
|
| For the Netlix and Chill
Everything Holder
In my family room, it’s almost impossible to reach any of the tables when I’m all snug as a bug in the couch. This thing holds everything that you want right next to your beautiful self so you don’t have to move a muscle. |
|
 |
| Don’t They Deserve it? Or…Treat YOURSELF! |
|
For the Lotion Lover
Best Lotion EVER
I absolutely love love love lotion. I put it on all the time! So I’m very opinionated about lotions. This one is not only luxurious to put on but it smells so good and it’s not overpowering. It’s a very subtle scent. You’ll love it too! |
|
The Big Party Splurge
JBL Party Box
For a long time we’ve used portable speakers, old stereo speakers and even a CD player with speakers but we were really missing a lot until I bought this gem. Now my family has this sweet party box accompany every ping pong match and old school workout in the basement. I can also easily set it up with our outdoor movie screen for excellent sound. I mean it, this box sounds great and no matter how big your party is this thing delivers. It also has a light show and I handle and wheels so you can move it around Super portable like a fancy suitcase. Big sound. Big fun. BIG memories. |
|
| For the Commuter
Wireless CarPlay Yay!
Who can be bothered to plug in their device every single time they get in your car??? This thing automatically hook your phone up the CarPlay without you having to do a damn thing and you’re not even out of your driveway and you have navigation and all the beautiful things that come along with it. There’s a huge coupon for $46 OFF on Amazon right now so I would pick it up. I love it! |
|
| For the Artsy Avocado Lover
MOMA Avocado Vase
In the interest of full disclosure, I have not tried this out yet but I’m really excited to… I bought it for someone in my life who likes avocados (And who may or may not be reading this newsletter 🤣). How cool is this? MOMA is having a 10% off sale on everything so hurry up! |

So far this year, I have read 71 books. This by FAR was my favorite. I can’t believe it’s a self-help book, and worse, a productivity book! I listened to it and read it and both experiences were lovely while the overall message was truly life-changing. Do yourself the biggest favor and pick it up. After all, you only have 4,000 weeks on this beautiful earth…if you’re lucky. 🧡

The Villa
by Rachel Hawkins
Oooooooooh, this is a goody, goody. You’ll be on the edge of your seat…a little haunted house-ish, some creepy intentions and you’ll be on the edge of your seat!

Late Bloomers
Omigoodness! So much family drama and I really did laugh out loud! I miss these characters…loved it. |

The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life’s Perfection
by Michael Singer
Do yourself the biggest favor and WITHOUT READING THE JACKET OR THE BACK OR ANY SUMMARY (it gives the whole thing away) just dive in and learn how to truly roll with it. This is the guy who wrote Untethered Soul another spiritual gem. You may not be able to trust the Universe fully like this, but it’s a start…a way in. A remarkable amazing story.

The Humans
by Matt Haig
An alien that comes down to Earth to make sure we don’t advance too far in our math and tech abilities turns a bit human in his quest to make sure the rest of the cosmos are in control. I love the outside look at “The Humans.” An original, funny and poignant look at love and what it is to be human. |

| For Women Everywhere…
The Husbands
by Chandler Baker
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Ok, besides the implausibility of your friend just one day offering to be your couples counselor (what the…?) this book is a GEM. If you’ve ever been a mom in the thick of it with kids and work and all of it you’re going to love this. It will make you super grateful for your man, that’s for sure! Wow. Has you hanging until the last PAGE, y’all!!!! |
