And just like with my Gift Ideas for Girls list, these are simply suggestions for aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. I believe these popular gift ideas for boys are actually very versatile because my daughter would like many of these too.

With everything that has to be done to be done to host a holiday get-together from the preparation, cooking, cleaning, planning, shopping, entertaining - it can get overwhelming. Here are my hostess/host tips to enjoy a stress-free holiday.

Although some products were received for consideration and some links are affiliate, these are all serious product/service considerations so you can enjoy a stress-free holiday season. This post is sponsored by DoorDash on behalf of Review Wire Media.

So every year, my family asks me: "What do you want for Christmas?" I like a wide range of things, so I guess that can make it hard for some to shop for. I like beauty products and nerdy stuff. I also like "basic" things like screen printed shirts, coffee, and leggings. I thought I would put together a gift idea list to help anyone who is struggling on what to get the lady in their life.

Some items were received for consideration. This post contains affiliate links.

"SANTA! I know him!" In our house, we are believers in Santa. Believing in the magic of all things Santa Claus is a wonderful memory from my childhood that I cherish and am so excited that I now get to share with my children. The key in our digital age is to encourage the belief in fun and unique ways.

We participate in Elf on the Shelf each year. And we decided this year to do something extra special for the first day with a package from Santa. PackageFromSanta.com offers you a choice of 3 unique treasure chests of authentic, Santa Claus goodies and letters from Santa sent right to your child, directly from the North Pole! It’s a bundle of proof uniquely personalized with your child's name. It comes addressed to them so if you don't have an elf, no worries! Kids love getting mail! Every Package is painstakingly crafted, packed and shipped with care and even includes a real Santa return address and genuine North Pole Stamp.

I am so thankful for the opportunities I have received this year. And I love when I can work with a brand that I love again. JORD makes hand-crafted wood timepieces that are create a since of style even when the wearer doesn't really have any. So when I received the opportunity to work with JORD again, I knew I wanted to get my father-in-law a quality wood watch so he could really step up his style game.

I partnered with The Hopping Bloggers for this sponsored Holiday Gift Guide.

I have collaborated with The Hopping Bloggers to bring you a great list of gift ideas that the whole family will enjoy!

Have you ever heard of Thirty One Gifts? I knew someone who had a party once and ended up going on bed rest, so I wasn't able to go. At that time what I could tell is they were different, really cool bags. But there really are so much more.


Christin Theiss is a Thirty One consultant who contacted me about becoming part of my gift guide. Since I hadn't experienced Thirty One first hand, she sent me an item of my choosing. It was so hard to choose on just one item, but I finally decided on the Fresh Market Thermal. I love it because we have to travel pretty far during the holidays and we always have to bring different dishes, but transportation has always been an issue. And I love how this bag cute and functional.

When giving a gift to someone, we try to give a gift that will fit their personality and something they will treasure as well. I have collaborated with The Hopping Bloggers to bring you a list of Trendy Gift Ideas for Her and we believe there is truly something for everyone on this list. We have created a list that is perfect if you are looking for ideas for your wife, your grown daughter, or even your squad. There is also a wide range of products and you're sure to find one that will fit any budget.

I have been a fan of ABCmouse.com since 2012. Recently I contacted them about adding their program in my Annual Holiday Gift Guide because I love giving the gift of fun education to my children.

ABCmouse.com is an early learning software developed by Age of Learning, Inc. for the purpose of using technology to educate children through a full online curriculum. The current program will benefit children ages two through second grade with curriculum created by a board of teachers and educational experts from a variety of fields including science and history.

When it comes to the holidays, I love getting in the spirit. Between decorating, sending out holiday cards, attending activities, baking Santa cookies, creating memorable craft gifts, drinking hot cocoa by a warm fire, or dressing festively - I love everything that the holidays bring. This is a list I have compiled with a little bit of everything to enjoy the holidays.

With the Holidays quickly approaching, I don't know about you but I have been thinking about what gifts I want to give. And my go-to gift for friends, other moms, or the Hubby has always been wine. I recently had the opportunity to review a few wines from Winc.com with the Hubby. We were very impressed.


I have tried a few different brands and types of wines, but finding what I like can be difficult. Winc is not your traditional wine club: they are a direct-distribution global wine company that personalizes the entire wine experience. They are perfecting how wine is made, distributed, perceived, and purchased. I have never been a sweet wine drinker. That's what I love about Winc. They personalize your wines based on your tastes called the Palate Profile quiz. They ask you questions like, "How do you like your coffee?", "How do you feel about salt?", "Do you like citrus?", etc. It then will recommend wines based on your profile, but you can then select different ones if you'd like.
