Hostess Gift Ideas

We’re moving right along through our 2019 gift guide series!! Today’s gift guide is dedicated to the holiday hostess.  Whether you need a small gift for a good friend or an acquaintance this holiday season, below are some of the best holiday hostess gift ideas you could easily wrap in cellophane, tie a bow around & voi-la! You will have a great hostess gift wrapped and ready to-go in no time. A few of my personal favorites for the hostess include:

  • This white marble wine holder — I swear I use this every time we have friends over or I’ll style it with a candle.
  • I love this beautiful silver coaster set
  • A diptqyue candle is always a good idea.
  • And I learned this from my mom — buy holiday hand soaps/lotion in bulk before the holiday season so you always have a little something to bring if you’re in a pinch.

What are some of your favorite holiday hostess gift ideas? See more from my 2019 Gift Guide Series & beyond down below! Xo. Lauren

0

Today’s holiday gift guide is dedicated to everyone who loves a good monogram — who’s with me?! Some of my favorite monogrammed gift ideas I included on our list this year include many beautiful items from Lettrefina on Etsy, go take a peek! From gorgeous pillow shams (this one might be my favorite) to little stocking stuffers like this monogram tissue box cover or guest towels, it’s hard not to love everything from this Etsy shop.

Other must-give monogrammed gift ideas include — Pink Monogram Tote Bag, this Cotton Waffle Cosmetic Bag, and this Linen Jewelry Pouch.

Last but not least, my girlfriend Alison introduced me to Sprinkled with Pink! A really cute online shop full of monogrammed goodies!! How cute is this monogrammed jute tote bag & it also comes in a beautiful canvas version which would be perfect for travel. And if you’re in the market for a new monogrammed iPhone case, Sprinkled with Pink has one of my favorites — linked here!  

If you’re just tuning in, I linked all of my previous gift guides down below! Happy holidays!! Xo. Lauren

10 Best Gift Ideas For The Boys | Dad, Brother, Uncle, Son, Friend
0

Today we’re continuing our 2019 Gift Guide Series with the top gift ideas for the boys — always one of my favorites!

Whether you’re shopping for your dad, brother, uncle, hubby or boyfriend, I think I’ve figured out a great recipe of categories to stick to when it comes to Christmas shopping for the men in your life — insert tech, golf, shoes, clothing & accessories!

My fiancé seriously loves the latest & greatest in tech. For example, some of the top tech gifts he’s loved over the years include Bose headphones (he has this pair), the new Apple Airpods Pro, the latest iPad model, portable speakers (i.e. the UE Boom 2), chargers (we’re obsessed with mophie chargers and have multiple of the power station mini) and so on. We always laugh because of how frequently he is investing in the latest portable charger. I’ve stopped traveling with my own charger because I know he will at least have 5 on us (and fully charged) at all times.

Outside of tech, any gifts related to golf is always a HUGE hit in our household. I highly recommend getting the golfer on your list brand new golf balls — specifically the Titlist Pro V1! They make for great stocking stuffers. Josh also wanted to make sure I linked to these golf balls which are half the price of the Pro V1. You’re welcome.

Other golf-related gift ideas you can’t go wrong with include:

  • A gift card to Ship Sticks — Always appreciated for golf trips as the company can ship clubs directly to the course! 
  • A new Range finder – there are some great options on Amazon. 
  • A new Golf Bag — TaylorMade is a great brand. 
  • Peter Millar Golf Polos.
  • Last but not least, any half zips from Patagonia, Lulu Lemon or J.Crew also make for great gift ideas!

Hopefully this was helpful & I’d love to hear what have been some of your favorite gifts you’ve bought for the men in your life! P.s.  You can shop all of my previous gift guides below from 2019 & beyond!

1. Patagonia Half Zip | 2. Canada Goose Gloves | 3. Bose Headphones | 4. Travel Kit | 5. Monogrammed Scarf | 6. Canada Goose Coat | 7. Peter Millar Half Zip | 8. Mark and Graham Catch All | 9. Burberry  Money Clip | 10. Bose Portable Speaker | 11. Nikes

Decorating With Plaid - Plaid Gift Ideas

There’s nothing more festive than giving holiday plaid gifts to your loved ones during the holiday season. From Christmas pajamas to plaid loafers, so many retailers have launched their very own holiday plaid collections you can shop leading up to Christmas. 

Rounding up the best plaid gifts in my gift guide series each year is always fun — mostly because my mom and I are obsessed with anything that includes a tartan plaid! If you combined our collection of plaid blankets, you would think we were crazy. P.s. If you’re looking for where to shop for tartan plaid blankets or throws check out this blog post right here. We highly recommend a few of our go-to retailers including: L.L. Bean, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pendleton ( I have this one!), MacKimmie & Co which is based in Lenox, Massachusetts and Home Goods for more affordable plaid blanket options.  

Outside of decorating with plaid, you can of course dress in tartan plaid! Both Mark and Graham and J.Crew continue to release plaid gifts each season that are stylish and affordable! Take a peek at this year’s must-haves:
