Gift Ideas for Him, Her, and Them!

Gift Ideas for Him, Her, and Them!

Christmas is such a magical time of year and if you are anything like me you love to find the PERFECT gift for each person in your life.  I honestly hate the idea of giving a gift card or cash, but my teenagers seem to think the latter is the perfect gift. I still however, strive to find the PERFECT gift even for the not so fun at times beast we know as a teenager.  

Today I have put together a few things I am giving this year to the adults in my life and maybe just maybe this will make your life easier as you are putting together your Christmas list. By next week I will put together a gift guide for all the teenagers/kids in your world, but for now here are some ideas for the adults.

FOR THE RENTS:

Parents and Grandparents are so hard to buy for.  Let's face it....nine times out of ten if they want something, they just go out and buy it.  Last year I gave a gift that will last for ages and will bring joy, laughter, and maybe some tears to the entire family.  It is a book that ask questions so you can learn who they were as a kid, teenager, young adult, etc.  I did this book with my father and I so wish I had it when my mother was alive.  I have learned so many fun, interesting facts about who he is was and how he came to be the man I love and adore. The book title is: Tell Me So I Know and you can find it here:

For my mother in law I am going to get her a cozy blanket. I am pretty sure the Farmers Almanac is saying it is going to be a cold winter and I know my mother in law…..she loves soft, cozy, and warm.

And while I am at it, I might get her the Barefoot Dreams socks to wrap on top of the package! How cute would that be?

For the grandpas in our lives, Grubba and my father, I got an adorably funny book on how not to be a croctchety old man! I know they will both get a kick out of it! At least I think they will!

To add to their book I got them both a pair of comfy cozy slippers! What crochety old man does not like a comfy slipper!!!!!

SPOUSES

Now for Trey…..I have all kinds of ideas and I am not sure what I am going to do so I will just share them all with! Why not? And if you have any awesome ideas, please do share! I am all ears! But first up I am thinking about something to help him sleep. I found these bad boys and I think he will really like them.

Another cool idea I had was a bluetooth speaker system that is virtually indestructible. This bad boy seems to be the one and I love that it is 100% waterproof and it can last up to 50 hours between charges! Can I get a what what?!?

Another bluetooth speaker option I found that is a lot cheaper and a lot smaller is the Bose Micro. This would be a great gift for a dad or a teen or anyone really!


Ok every man needs a softy! What do I mean by that? A soft tee that they look good in, but can lounge in! I found one that looks so good on all my boys!

Want to talk about comfy and soft! These bad boys! I know all my big boys will LOVE these!!!!!

Now for the ladies!!!!!!!! I may or may not have gone crazy…….but…..I could not help myself!!!!!

So I only wash my hair two MAYBE three times a week and it is because I swear by dry shampoo! I talked about it in my post for ideas for hostess gifts and you can see that here….but another secret is a Silk Pillow Case! SWEAR! I know my girlfriend Dresha is laughing at me right about now, but yes! I use them too!!!!!! Here is the BEST one!

So my next two ideas are more practical….not sure I want them for Christmas, but I do think they would be a game changer for me! First up is the Roomba! I hear amazing things about this bad boy and with two dogs it might just change my life….

And the kitchen aid mixer! I borrowed my friend, Leigh’s, and it was AMAZING! So thinking this could be another game changer for me!

I too want something warm and cozy so why not an UGG robe?

Every woman needs an amazing Rain Boot! So why not Hunter?

Speaking of boots and winter….you know it is going to be cold and you might could use some snow boots too!

And since it is going to be so cold you might as well ask for some amazing gloves!

And anyone who knows me knows I LOVE my pajamas and my absolute FAVORITE are these!

So there you have it! A little bit of inspiration to get you started on your holiday shopping for the big people in your life! I will be working on the teens and kids in your life next followed by some stocking stuffer ideas! Let me know if you have any ideas and together we can make this one of the easiest gift giving holidays yet!

Until next time!

XO,
