Gift Guides

This is where you’ll find all of my gift guides, including the holiday gift guides 2022. My goal with these guides is to make gift-giving less stressful and more enjoyable for you by curating my top picks for different categories. I personally love looking at blogger gift guides because they give me ideas and inspiration I might not have otherwise. If there’s a category you’d like to see that isn’t included in our 2022 holiday gift guides, let me know via the FAQ page. Happy shopping!

I’ve bought several of these items for different guys in my life, and they’ve loved them! I…

Grad Gift Ideas for the Class of 2023

If you know someone graduating this year, chances are, you’re on the hunt for a few good grad gift ideas. I still remember graduating from college and receiving some of the most memorable and thoughtful gifts ever. I’ve kept a lot of them over the past 10(ish) years too. Whenever I think about buying a grad gift, my main goal is to get the graduate something they’ll actually use in…

Gifts for Mom This Mother’s Day

Those of you who know me know that my mom is my rock. Truly, this woman is my hero. *Fun fact* my mom actually used to be a shoe designer (hence my love for shoes). Now that I’ve got two kids of my own, I have even more respect for the hard work my mom put into her business while still being an incredible mom to me and my siblings.…

Valentine’s Day Gift Guides for Her & Him

I know we’re a month away from Valentine’s Day, but I wanted to give you plenty of time to shop, so I’m busting out the gift guides today! Duncan and I have never been a big Valentine’s Day couple, but we do typically write each other a cute card or letter and then something small that we know the other would enjoy. Most years, we go to a nice dinner…

2022 Gift Guides: Stocking Stuffers

Stocking stuffers are always one of my most popular gift guides every year. I love putting them together too! It’s fun to find affordable items that I personally love using regularly. For instance, these socks from Barefoot Dreams are basically my favorite thing ever. They’re so incredibly soft and they actually last, unlike some other “cozy” socks I’ve purchased in the past. I also had to share this toiletry bag from…

2022 Gift Guides: For the Littles

One of my favorite things about being a parent is finding fun toys for my child. I probably enjoy it more than I should if I’m being honest. I’ve always loved looking at toys for Four, but I’m even more excited to relive my own childhood through Blake. When it comes to toys, I’ve always been about quality over quantity. I never thought I’d be the mom who would let…

When life gets busy, there are a few specific things I rely on to keep myself in the Word on a regular basis. This personalized journaling Bible from She Reads Truth is one of my go-to Bibles.

2022 Gift Guides: For Him

I honestly love shopping for the guys in my life, but I also worry I’m going to get them something they’re not really going to love. With my girlfriends, I usually just buy things I know I’d like myself or things I’ve tried and love. Over the years, I’ve figured out a few go-to items that are super well-received and I wanted to share those with y’all in case you struggle…

2022 Gift Guides: Luxe

This is my FAVORITE gift guide to create every year. It’s honestly like “window shopping” for me. :P I always include some of the luxe items I have myself and then also add in some that are on my own wishlist. I’ve basically talked about these Loeffler Randall Knee-High Leather Boots nonstop on my Instagram lately and for good reason — they’re AMAZING. They were an absolute splurge, but I can…

2022 Gift Guides: For the Hostess

The hostess gift guide is here! This is always one of my most highly requested gift guides each year. We ALL get invited to tons of social gatherings during the holidays — whether it’s Thanksgiving dinner or a Christmas cocktail party.

2022 Gift Guides: For the Home

Do you have someone on your list that you just know loves home goods? I tend to gravitate toward these types of gifts for people whose style I don’t really know or if I’m unsure what else they might like. I don’t have many of the items on this gift guide, to be honest, so I really collected a lot of things that I’d love to get myself. ;) These…

2022 Gift Guides: For the Beauty Lover

Got a beauty lover in your life? I’ve got you covered. As someone who has tried their fair share of beauty products, I’ve figured out my favorites and what I love using every day. I know everyone is different, and what works for one person may not work for another, so I tried to keep the products in this gift guide general enough for anyone. For instance, I use this Vintners…

2022 Gift Guides: Fitness for Her

One of my most popular gift guides each year is the guide for fitness lovers. So many of you love getting and gifting wellness-related gifts — myself included! I think the best part about giving these types of gifts is that you know they’ll get a lot of use, especially if the person you’re gifting works out regularly. I’ve been working with a personal trainer for about a year now…

2022 Gift Guides: Brighton’s Favorites

First off, I’m sorry if you’ve seen these items a million times already. When I say these are my favorites, what I really mean is that I basically use them as much as possible. If I were to be gifted any of these items for the holidays, I’d be thrilled. I think they’re all super functional and fun. For instance, the famous Stanley Quencher isn’t just the must-have item of the year, it’s…

2022 Gift Guides: For Your Coworker

Okay, we all have those coworkers or acquaintances that we see or talk to all the time yet don’t know that well. The thought of finding a gift for them can be overwhelming since you don’t really know what they like. My advice when it comes to this type of gift-giving? Keep it generic and stick with something you KNOW they’ll enjoy. I mean, let’s be honest, who wouldn’t love a package…

I mentioned in my first gift guide that we’d have a special one for today, and I’m excited to share my gift guide for expecting mamas! This one was extra fun to put together while I was pregnant with Blake. There were so many little things I really appreciated during pregnancy like my Lake robe (seriously, this is THE most comfortable robe I’ve ever worn) and this lotion bar that I used every…

2022 Gift Guides: Personalized Gift Ideas

My first 2022 gift guide is here!!! I’m really excited about all of the guides I’ve got for you. I’m changing things up a little this year to make it even easier for you to shop. My favorite addition is a boutique in each of our gift guides. I spent hours sourcing different gift ideas for each category and not all of them fit on the graphics we create, so…
