When it comes to gifting – we love the practical, the whimsical, and the fabulous but most of all we love giving people things they might not buy themselves. Here are a few of our favorites:
1 | Paper Bandit Press Poster // A perfect fit for any one and any room, it’s a gift that is beautiful and thoughtful. Frame it for an instant favorite.
2 |Overnight Kit // What guy – from 12 to 100 – doesn’t need a fantastic overnight kit? Stock it with his favorites and he’ll be ready to go any time.
3 | Kiehl’s Men’s Starter Kit // Guys can be so funny about ‘products’ – but we love gifting the Kiehl’s kit because it is a gentle foray into the world of real skin care for men.
4 | Freshly Picked Moccs // It’s hard to splurge for baby shoes but we can tell you that these mocks are the BEST we’ve tried. What stylish mom or tot wouldn’t love them?
5 | Gold Arrow Necklace // Remind her to Aim High every time she puts on this delicate necklace. It’s affordable enough to make a fantastic friend or teacher gift or stocking stuffer.
6 | Freshly Picked Tote Bag // Y’all. We covet one of these in every color. The same high quality leather and workmanship that goes into the mocks in a bag for mom. A stylish alternative to a diaper bag that will last for years beyond babyhood.
7 | 50mm Lens & Camera Class // Anyone who has a DSLR knows that all the knobs, buttons and dials can be intimidating. Candice’s Atly class “Be the Boss of Your Camera” will take any level of new camera user and break it all down into easy to understand lessons with videos and assignments written to help you master your camera and all those settings.
8 | Gretchen Bee Ranch Bees Wax Candle // We adore using Gretchen Bee Ranch wax in our balms and salves and their honey is top notch. Their tall, long lasting, and simply amazing smelling candles are no exception to the quality they produce. A real treat for any candle lover (and check out their birthday candles!).
9 | Silhouette Portrait // Well. What else can we say? If you know someone crafty, she needs one of these. Stat. You know ours are used constantly and we love love love them.
10 | Minted Foil Print // It’s beautiful. It’s trendy. It comes framed. It’s sentiment is bar none. It’s practically the perfect gift for the gal who has it all.
11 | Crawfish Boil Platter // Quirky, fits enough to feed a crowd and a great option for the hostess with the mosses who has everything else.
