Me Gift Guide

Leave a comment

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!!

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!
