GIFT GUIDE || FOR HIM

I think buying for the guys is hard and so tricky! Last year I gave my dad and husband this vest and it was a huge hit. I hope I have the same success this time around. Here are a few fun things I think could be well received by the men in your life-

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

[ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 ]

Valentine's Day is so much fun. My favorite part (aside from all the chocolate) is looking through all the cute cards and choosing the perfect ones for my loved ones. We don't really exchange gifts on this date but there are so many cute things out there that I thought I would make a pretty little board for you. Here it is-

DIY || Turning a Gift Card into a Magical Gift

Sometimes finding that perfect gift for a loved one is not an easy task. You might get it right one year but not necessarily the next. This is why in certain cases a gift card is the perfect gift all the time, year-in and year-out because the recipient gets exactly what they want or exactly what they need. Especially, if the gift card is from a fabulous store that has a little bit of everything like Target. I adore this place and am so happy to have partnered with them to bring you today's post. I sometimes find myself craving a visit to Target just to see what they have in their home decor section. Other times, I come in searching for a few essentials and end up leaving with a ton of other cute things I didn't even know I needed.

It's true- we all might love getting gift cards, but we might not all love giving them. Why do we feel so guilty giving a gift card if we all love getting them? This is why I came up with this cute and super easy DIY as a presentation for a Target GiftCard®. It is a sweet, personal and homemade DIY that is sure to find its place in the receiver's heart. If you wanted to make something similar for your own gift card giving needs here is what you will need-

Art || the Gift that Keeps on Giving

[ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7| 8 ]

There is nothing more rewarding than finding that perfect present for those close to us, especially if its a gift that will withstand the test of time, like art. Art is the gift that keeps on giving. It will be treasured always and maybe even get passed down to future generations. A piece doesn't have to be expensive for it to become an heirloom. There are so many accessible artists painting beautiful pieces at really affordable prices nowdays.

Best Housewarming Gifts (for your really good friends)

I love house warming gifts! I have been in the receiving end recently and cannot lie-they are fun to get. Even though I have not had a house warming party yet my sweet friends and family have been so generous with their gifts. Some of these gifts made the list above and others were so unique to us that they would not make sense to add them here.

Father's Day Gift Guide

A little gift guide to help you narrow down a sweet gift for your dad, grandfather, husband or friend. Of course it involves manly things but mostly they are things that I think have a wide appeal (as in- you can't go wrong with any of these!). The green elephant Ferragamo tie is perfect for the classic and well dressed dad. These cool sunglasses (I mean blue lenses and clear frame?) can make any dad the coolest guy on the block. My husband has a similar pair and when he wears them, it never fails, he gets tons of compliments. A man can never have too many pocket squares, especially if they look like this and this. This cologne is divine it has peony, pink pepper, and licorice! Sexy.

Mother's Day || Gift Ideas

Mother's Day is around the corner! Can you believe it? This will be a bitter-sweet Mother's day for me because I won't get to spend it with my mom (but we did get to celebrate this past weekend) and my husband will be out of town in a conference. That is the bitter part, but the sweet part is I will get to spend it with one of my best friends and her family because they will be in town visiting! I am so excited to spend time with her. I have made some fun plans for us. And also, my daughter and I have been brainstorming up a fabulous mother-daughter set of activities, one of which, we will share with you soon. Maybe on Friday if we get our act together. In the meantime I hope you enjoy this round-up of gift ideas for your friend, mom, grandmother, sister...or any loved women in your lives you want to shower with gifts.

Gift Guide || The Fashionista

A little guide to help you shop for your fashionable friends. For the first time ever I actually bought most of my gifts online. I'm kind of dreading the mall and the crowds this year and have so many things going on that I thought I would be better of saving the time. And it just so happened that I found what I was looking for. So, I have everyone's gift....except...the most difficult gift to buy...my mom's!!!

Gift Guide || For Him

This is officially a diet week for me! I'm so glad it's Monday because I cannot eat any.more. We had dinner, after lunch, after dinner....and every meal was better than the next. I bet the gym will be busy today! I hope you all had a happy and safe Thanksgiving Holiday as well! Today is my gift guide for men. I always find it so challenging to buy for the men in my life there are only so many belts and shirts they can have right? Hopefully these ideas will help.
