Gift Ideas For Your Bestie

I wasn’t sure I wanted to do gift guides this year because as a consumer of online content, it does feel overwhelming when you are getting tons of gift guides thrown at you this time of year. Instead of doing the usual “gifts for her” or “gifts for him” I’ve tried to think of some out of the box ideas to come up with truly helpful guides for those you are buying for. One tricky gift receiver can be your bestie – whether she has everything or you just can’t come up with the perfect gift idea, fear not! There are some great options out there. When selecting items for this guide I only chose items that I would be EXCITED to receive. I think that’s the bar for buying for your bestie anyway.

Pajama set | I love the idea of giving pajamas because we don’t buy cute jammies for ourselves often enough. This pajama set is so dang cute. I love the lace trim, it’s the perfect feminine touch. Of course, I love the blue and white stripes but it comes in other color options as well.

Leather Pouch | I love pouches like this for going out. They’re the perfect clutch for date night or girls night but it’s also small enough that you can use it every day by putting essentials in it and tossing it in your bigger bag.  I think this pouch stuffed with a few things like nail polish or lip gloss would be the perfect bestie gift.

Cozy Slippers | These are the coziest slippers in the prettiest shade of gray. They come in a couple of colors and are super affordable.

My favorite earrings | I’ve been obsessed with Kate Spade studs for forever. I love getting a new pair each year. I’m excited to see these new glittery earrings. The color is so vibrant (comes in a bunch of other colors too). I promise these will end up being your bestie’s favorite earrings too!

My favorite mascara | I think splurging on something you’re bestie might not normally splurge on is another great gift idea. I am in love with this mascara – it’s so good and to me, worth every penny but I know it can be pricey. Gifting this mascara and one other piece of quality make up would be so well received, I’m sure.

Cookbook | I really love Chrissy Teigen and her recipes are amazing. I follow her on Snapchat just to see what she’s cooking. This is a must-have for any food loving gal.

Fav Nail Polish | You could grab one color or a bunch but I love Essie brand nail polish. The colors are the best and it makes at home manicures a breeze. Wouldn’t a little manicure in a box be an adorable gift? You could include a polish and some other items that would allow your bestie to have everything she would need to complete a manicure at home. Perfect for those mamas that just don’t have type to get over to the salon but still want to feel fancy sometimes.

Cozy socks | A must-have for this time of year. It’s like a hug for your feet. Grab some matching ones for yourself too!

Enameled Dutch Oven | I was given this by a dear friend almost ten years ago and it’s definitely one of my favorite gifts of all time. It may even be one of my most frequently used gifts of all time. I get so much use out of it throughout the year. For your pal that loves to cook, this affordable yet well made piece is a very thoughtful gift.

Letterboard | These are on trend for sure. How cute would it be to add a funny saying that only your bestie would appreciate when you give it to her?

Lip Balm | Another personal favorite of mine and a go to when I’m thinking of a good gift. Something you don’t know you want until you get it, then you can’t live without it!

Sweater | For your elegant bestie, a cozy sweater is a great gift idea. I live in sweaters like this throughout the winter. I love them because paired with dark denim, you can look put together pretty snappy with minimal effort – we can all use that in our lives!

I’d love to hear what you’re getting your best friend for Christmas. What kind of stuff is she into? Or what would YOU like for Christmas?

#ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy #ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy a shower caddy and stuff it full of art supplies to keep your kids from having their markers and crayons all over the place. For real though, this was a game changer. Previously, I had one hard and heavy caddy for all of our supplies that I would plop on the table during our school day but I found my kids constantly getting up to grab a pink crayon or the blue marker. Or at the end of the day things weren’t getting put away properly and the next day we couldn’t find the glue or the scissors. Now, they each have a caddy that they are responsible for. I’ve partnered with @walmart to share this simple organizing solution. The girls keep their supplies together and carry the caddy around to wherever they choose to school that day/minute. I used my Walmart+ membership again to pull this off. I was able to order all the art caddy necessities online using the W+ free shipping, no order minimum (excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items) benefit so I can limit my time in stores. #walmartplus
Sitting here thinking about everything that’s go Sitting here thinking about everything that’s gotten me through this last year.
1. My family - having my girls home has been everything I never knew I needed. 
1a. My mom - in those early pandemic days, when we didn’t leave the house, she would meet me halfway between here and Vegas. We would sit in the middle of the desert with our masks on and just visit. I needed that so much and I know she did too.
2. My friends - it’s hard to imagine making it through this year without the friendships I have. They’ve carried me. A small group of neighbors here that would meet at the park for some outdoor fellowship and our weekly dinners made life feel a little more normal. Having regular calls with my best friend in FL was gold especially since we can’t see each other. And regular chats with @bykaithanson got me through especially in those early days.
3. Regular therapy - if I wasn’t already going before all this happened I surely would need to now. This all is very heavy stuff and having someone that is outside your circle to talk to is so important. This saves me again and again.
4. Making bread. I started making last year so when it blew up during that first quarantine I was so excited that we all were baking together. Whenever I’m feeling anxious making dough helps.
5. Exercise - this was the year I finally made exercise a priority. I love how much better I feel when I move my body each day. I’m less anxious and I’m more at peace.
6. All the technology that connects us. Marco Polo, FaceTime, texting, FB Messenger, all of it. Being able to reach all of my loved ones with the tips of my fingers has made it a lot easier when I can’t see them.
7. Television - how many shows have we binged this year? I don’t even know but I remember tackling Friday Night Lights in the beginning of the pandemic and being so sad it was over. 
8. This community. One thing I wanted in 2020 was to CONNECT with you all here and that has happened and its been wonderful getting to know each of you!
💙
We’ve been through a lot this year what has carried you? Tag a friend that’s gotten you through. 
Hoping and praying for a truly happy new year. 💙💙
Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you everything good this Christmas and in the new year. 🎄
#ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls l #ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls love making and baking anything! We made cinnamon roll Christmas trees then decorated them with m&ms and sprinkles. I bought everything from Walmart, used canned cinnamon rolls to make them quick and easy so we could focus our energy on decorating them. Holiday memories made! How are you making memories with your family this season? @walmart http://liketk.it/34rdO #liketkit @liketoknow.it #walmart
I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t collect much but I do have a few Christmas things that I’ve been collecting over the years. These nutcrackers are one. The girls pick out a new one each year. I have a small collection little white village houses and since the first year we were married we bought a peace dove ornament from Pier 1 (Li Bien brand) - they quit selling them so this will be the first in 14 years that we don’t get one of those. What do you collect???

I really don’t love this kitchen but I’ve worked hard to make it easier on the eyes with a faux backsplash and with some mini wreaths on the cabs. Feelin’ festive. Sources for the backsplash are on the blog + @liketoknow.it 👍
