Do you ever feel like you spend the holidays dropping slightly veiled hints to your husband about what you want for Christmas? Like that jewelry catalog that shows up and you keep leaving next to his breakfast spot or the way you mention every night that your Kindle just doesn’t work right. You drop hints but he doesn’t always seem to get them.
Or maybe you don’t know what to get for the women in your life. The teachers, friends, and co-workers that are on your shopping list. I’ve put together a selection of gifts that will work for all the women and maybe a few of the men in your life.
I’m always a sucker for a cute frame, and these frames are some of the cutest I’ve seen. The colors, ribbons and wording can be customized creating a one of a kind gift. Photo gifts are one of my favorite gifts to give. I love sharing the memories we have made that year and these frames are a great way to do that.
These frames would make great gifts for grandparents, teachers or friends. I love the one that says, “you’re not old, you’re vintage!” and the color combo on the green and gold frame is holiday without being overly done. I also love the polka dot frame and matching initial, this would make a great gift for an expecting Mom. Visit ALways Smiling on Facebook to view more frames or to place orders.
Who doesn’t love chocolate? And if you’re anything like me you love a bit of salty with your sweet. Gourmet chocolate covered pretzels from Sassy Salty Shore Treats would make a great gift for teachers, co-workers or a great hostess gift this holiday season.
Pretzels can be customized with different colored sprinkles and a variety of toppings like nuts, caramel or candy coatings. A box of 5 gourmet chocolate covered pretzels is only $10 and has been a popular gift for teachers. Visit Sassy Salty Shore Treats on Facebook to see more delicious treats and to place orders.
After the rush of all the holiday shopping and eating and drinking, I could totally use some pampering. Like most Moms I don’t tend to spend money on pampering myself but I love when someone else does. Last year a friend brought me some nicer (not from the drug store) cosmetics and I loved getting something I would not buy myself. Rodan+Fields products make a great stocking stuffer for the women in your life.
I love kitchen gadgets but I tend to always put off buying them (see a trend here). Last year I treated myself to a Kitchen Aid Mixer, OMG where had it been all my life?! I know my husband rolls his eyes every time I request a kitchen gadget for Christmas but I do love getting them (even if they come from my MIL). On my wish list this year is an immersion blender.
Kitchen gadgets make great gifts for foodie friends or as a hostess gift.
North Face Jacket
Winter for me is all about comfort but I still like to look stylish while being comfortable. I noticed one of the Moms at Jack’s school always looks pulled together even in sweatpants and carrying an infant carrier. And I instantly knew why her black North Face Jacket matches everything. Any woman can appreciate a gift that makes them feel pulled together.
Fashion Service
While we are on the subject of being pulled together, winter time is the hardest time of year for me to find clothes that I like. In the past week I’ve brought and returned 2 tops. I never seem to know what I like to wear in the winter (other than sweatpants) but I recently started using Fabletics and I love the quality, style and comfort of the clothes that they offer. I also like that 3 outfits are picked just for me. The other fashion service I’m loving is Stitch Fix. My first fix was a success and I just scheduled my second on to arrive in time for the holidays. A Stitch Fix gift card or a Fabletics delivery would make great gifts for your girl friends. Then you can all get together and check out your fun, fashion finds.
Wine of the Month Club Subscription
When in doubt go with wine, is my motto when it comes to gift giving or when I can’t decide what to have at the bar. A wine of the month club subscription is the gift that keeps giving all year round. You have the option of giving a 4 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription. You can also pick what types of wines you want like wines from California or reds only. This is a great gift for your Mom or your Mother-In-Law or a friend who doesn’t live close by but you want them to know that you are thinking about them. Hell, it’s wine it’s a great gift for everyone.
