Last Minute Gift Guide!

Leave a comment

We’ve all been there… Actually, we are there.  Like, right now.  6 more sleeps till the big day and we are definitely not all done with our lists

So, here are a few options for you that might lessen a bit of that stress and make the hardest ones to shop for happy! Some are still available for rush shipping but only until the end of today, so GO!!!


We HAD to include this adorable little neon sign on our list!  And to be honest, we both kinda want one for ourselves.  This would be super cute in a kids’ bedroom, office or really anywhere!  Make sure to order today with rush shipping to receive by Christmas. 

Winter time means dry air which also means DRY SKIN!  Your skin can stay touchable and lovable with this Tata Harper Revitalizing Body Oil.  It smells delicious and feels totally luxurious. The perfect gift! 

Pampering is always a good idea!  So, consider a gift card for a mani pedi!  We are kinda dying to try a new spot here in Dallas called Verbena Salon, which is a non-toxic, fume-free nail bar, salon and cafe (meaning they rub your feet and pour wine!  WINNING!)

Who doesn’t love to cuddle up with a cozy blanket when it’s cold outside?  We love this cream-colored option from Anthropologie and it can be found at lots of local stores.  Plus, there’s still time for shipping!

Is there a traveler in your life?  This universal travel adapter is a life saver for any and all kinds of electronics! We think it makes a great little stocking stuff and Amazon Prime will have it to you before Christmas! 

Who doesn’t love a good fuzzy slipper?! These lovelies are basically the Tempurpedic mattress of footwear!  As you wear them, they actually mold to your foot and provide support.  Don’t judge when we roll through carpool rocking a pair of these.  Most colors still available! 

Sometimes, your favorite people are the hardest to shop for.  So, why not honor them by donating to those who really need your support?  We have a pretty amazing friend who fronts The Huckleberry Foundation.  Lift up those with special needs while honoring those who are fortunate enough to give to others by donating in their name. 

Me Gift Guide

Santa baby…. forgot to mention one little thing….  sanity and at least one night of sleep without a child waking me up to let me know they have to pee! In all realness though…  with all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it’s easy to focus on holiday festivities, and gift lists for others, but sometimes it’s hard to sit down and make our own Christmas wish list! We decided to stop and take a minute to share the top 5 things we’re hoping Santa leaves under the tree!

STEPHI’S PICKS

When it comes to gifts, I am pretty easy to please. The little things truly  make me so happy. I am a sucker for things like fun notebooks, coffee tumblers, or a fun pair of studs. These are the top 5 things on my Christmas wishlist this year! Fingers crossed Santa thinks I’m nice …

  1.  I always love a cute beanie to sport all winter long! Snag this one from Nordstrom for $45

2. I have a thing for stars and a love of stud earrings, so as soon as I saw this pair I had to add it to my wishlist!

3. When I’m at home, I like being comfy and cozy (easier for chasing the kids around). This loungewear set would be perrrrrfect!!! TOP, BOTTOMS

4. A friend of mine carries her phone in a cute little case like this when she doesn’t need her entire purse, and I think it’s the most fun accessory! It would make such a cute gift! I love this green color and the stud detail on the strap! Super cute and under $100!

5. Finally… I just really want these Llama slippers 🙂

SUZI’S PICKS

I have been known to shop pretty well for myself, so sometimes, I can be really hard to shop for.  BUT, I generally don’t have a hard time communicating what I want 😉  This year, one of my goals is to stop buying so much and just focus on what is really important.  Let’s be clear though… I am totally fine with someone else shopping for me! 

  1.  I love this Tai Rainbow Earring set from Neiman Marcus.  And at $100, it’s a total steal.  Mix and match them for a fun look! 

2.  I have a true pajama and lounge wear obsession!  I think these cozy Fleece Cloud Wrap Top and Wide Leg Pants from Anthropologie look perfect for a movie and a glass of wine kind of night.  Or in my world, every night.

3.  Ylang23 is one of my very favorite jewelry stores because of their unique and funky vibe.  These Janis Savit bangles are so gorgeous but also easy enough for everyday wear.

4.  Trying new beauty products is a totally a guilty pleasure so when I discovered the Omorovicza Nourishing Hand Treatment, I was instantly hooked.  If you know me, you know this goes in my purse with me everywhere!  Dry hands be gone!!

5.  This year, I am promising myself some more self-care.  Between being a working mom, a daughter, a chronic over-committer and an aspiring amazing friend, a monthly spa membership from Exhale would be an amazing way to get to focus on me every once in a while! 

HAPPY HOLIDAY-ING!!

Gift Ideas for Men!

Leave a comment

If you are anything like us, it is easy to think of fun cute gifts for your kiddos or for other women. However, when it comes to the menfolk.. it can feel difficult to find fun gifts that you know they’ll love! That’s where we come in!! We pooled together to find some fun gifts, any man would love to receive!! Our gift picks are found at local Dallas stores, and can also be purchased online!

  1. What man doesn’t love fun socks? We found the fun festive taco socks at Favor the Kind.

2.  DLM supply has a multitude of amazing gifts for men. One that we thought every man would appreciate, is this dopp kit gift set (complete with shave cream, face wash, bar soap, and aftershave cloths).

3. A chic card carrier is always a great idea, and we are in love with this shade of green. Effortlessly cool… Stag Provisions has several styles and colors available in store, and online!

4.  We love how it looks to have a bold color shoe lace in a men’s dress shoe! These laces are available in a few colors at DLM supply! 

5. Want a gift that keeps on giving? How about a monthly IV drip? For only $79 a month, give the man in your life the “Founder’s Membership”: gift of hydration, recovery, wellness, immunity, rejuvenation, and so much more at Eleven Wellness! 

6. Anytime we walk into our local Aesop store, we are completely taken away with the incredible aroma! We thought it would be great to give a body wash and lotion set, to have the man in your life smelling amazing and feeling hydrated.

7. Every Man needs a great pair of jeans! Head over to Deep Ellum Denim to find a stylish pair at great price points! 

8. Have a hat lover in your life? Why not create a custom hat for them with local designer Travis Austin. Any hat lover would be elated to receive one of these bad boys!

9. Do you know a cocktail lover? We found the perfect Texas-style tumbler set at Stag Provisions! The “Highwayman” set features 4 of our fav country icons! Gangs all here!! 

10. Last, but certainly not least, be sure to knock his taco socks off 
with a pair of boots by Miron Crosby. These local Dallas sisters have created boots that are not only insanely comfortable, but are extremely stylish! It would be the perfect gift to spoil any man in your life! If you’re feeling extra generous, you can even customize them!!

A few other favs, available for online purchase:

A leatherman.. the niftiest pocket multitool you ever did see. Sure to impress any man! 

For the traveling man… give the gift of a Bad Bag! This style can be a duffel or a backpack. It’s durable and well… cool.

Every man loves a good hoodie, are we right? Our favorite hoodie for men is from American Giant! 

We hope these gifts make those special fellas extra happy come Christmas morning!!! 

xoxo,

Stephi and Suzi

Gifts Under $100 for Your Bestie

Leave a comment

Your BFF deserves a little love this holiday season so we have put together a list of our favorites!  We may or may not be getting each other something from this list 😉  But, we also don’t want to break the bank because between spouses, kids, family, teachers and many more, we’ve got lots of gifts to buy!

So, without further ado….

Assouline Gypset Travel – This book looks amazing on a bedside or coffee table and it has us feeling some MAJOR wanderlust!  Assouline anything is the best gift but this is a great price for a super high-end brand.

My Heavy Metal Wireless Bluetooth Speakers – We are both major music lovers and what better way to listen to some tunes than this adorable little mini speakers?  Plus they are rose gold.  Duh.

Agate Coasters – Agate is such a major trend in home and fashion right now and these are a cute way to incorporate something trendy without breaking the bank.  Lots of color options mean that you can match it to anyone’s decor.

Leopard Print Sweater – I mean, it’s leopard print.  And it’s a sweater under $100.  Need we say any more?!

Jade Roller – So, unless you live under a rock, you have probably heard about the jade roller.  Over the summer, we finally broke down and decided to try it out.  OMG it is worth ALL THE HYPE!  It depuffs, it smooths fine lines and your skin just glows in general with regular use.

Metal Catch All Tray – A “Good Vibes” reminder is ALWAYS a good thing and this little floral print just makes us happy.  We want one next for our bedside table to keep rings, etc.

Sonix Phone Case – Sonix makes cases that have so many fun patterns but they are also 100% kid-proof, which is 100% most important to us!  We love the prickly pear print, but cosmic and sweet pea are super cute too.

Gorjana Star Stud Earring – Just about everyday, you will see both of us in Gorjana jewelry.  It is super affordable, on trend, delicate and oh-so-compliment worthy!  We actually both own the star stud earrings!

Swell Bottle – We carry water with us everywhere and this festive little Swell bottle keeps things warm or cold and is just so in the spirit!  You can never have too many to-go cups.

Kate Spade Initial Necklace  – These initial necklaces are so cute either for your own initials, for your hubby’s or your kiddos!  They are small and simple enough to wear everyday and are a sweet sentimental gift.

Lacquer Stacking Boxes – We just love anything and everything Jonathan Adler and these little stacking boxes are NO exception. The color is perfection and who doesn’t need a little extra bathroom or kitchen storage?  Perfect for rings, watch, bracelets or if you’re a little weird like Suzi, the teeth your kiddos lose because you cannot seem to throw them away!
