My 2023 men’s gift guide is here! All of my favorite things to gift Eddie or the guys in my life – and of course so many items that I would love too! This list is versatile and so good!

Everything I’m loving this year for my 2023 men’s gift guide – and everything Eddie is loving too! This is a mix of what I’ve bought him in the past and what he is getting this year. So much to love! Of course these gifts can be for anyone (I want many things on the list below!), but I know all the guys in my life would loooove this stuff! And they are always just so hard to buy for. There are also some great ideas in my gift guide under $25.

2023 MEN’S GIFT GUIDE

Moonlit pajamas. These are my absolute favorites and now they have them for men!! I can’t even handle it.

Jersey knit pajamas. The eberjey ones are also excellent – especially if you don’t want the buttons down the front.

Aura Photo Frame. I gifted this six times in 2021 – it is incredible. I gave it to Eddie for Father’s Day and he has it at work. You upload pics to the app and they appear on the frame – multiple people can do it so it’s great for grandparents too!

Long charging cord. We have about a million of these. Always needed.

Whoop fitness tracker. I got this for Eddie last year and he LOVES it. He has worn it all year. He loves getting different bands too.

Cashmere hooded sweater. I always look for a nice higher end sweater for him. This one is such a great option.

Matchbook prints. Adore these. I got a few for our new house!

Shiatsu Back Massager. We have had this for years and people fight over it in our house. It is the most relaxing thing ever.

Shiatsu Neck Massager Pillow. This is such a good one too – it’s more of a pillow version that doesn’t wrap.

Thymes fraiser fir candle. This smells exactly like the perfect christmas tree.

Couples Split Sheet Set. I’ve joked about Eddie’s sleep habits for years and stealing the covers. This is GENIUS.

Engraved Tape Measure. A bit cliche, but very useful and practical.

Lake topography art. Eddie and I love these. We always see them when we’re on vacation in Michigan.

Mini Power Scrubber. This is most gratifying cleaning tool ever.

Yeti Rambler Mug. A classic favorite that everyone adores.

Microfiber robe. This looks like the softest thing ever. I love the plaid.

Rechargeable Hand Warmers. This is the best idea for someone out in the cold often!

Bluetooth Shower Speaker. Everyone would love one of these.

Slim card case. This super slim case is the best pick this year.

On Cloudnova sneakers. These are my favorite On’s for casual wear! In both men and women’s styles.

Kiehls moisturizer. I love putting skincare in Eddie’s stocking. I do a mix of singles and sets.

Kiehls skincare set. Like this one! The sets are great to try new things and break apart.

Fleur de sel. Just bought this up! Sign me up for an edible gift that everyone can use.

NHL puck coaster set. For the hockey lovers. That’s us.

Acupressure Mat. This is one of the best purchases of 2021 I made. It is so relaxing and really a game changer if you’re stressed out.

Trigger Point Back Rocker. On the same note as the above, this is our next purchase.

Flat cast iron pan. I ordered this pan because it looks so EASY to use. That’s the name of the game here if Eddie is cooking.

Shinola desk calendar. Love this desk calendar. Elevates the desk so much.

Watch roll. This travel watch roll is excellent.

Philips automatic coffee machine. For the coffee and espresso lovers! This is just as good as the super high end ones. I love it.

College football game day bingo. This can be customized to your favorite team. So fun.

Wool & cashmere scarf. Can’t go wrong with a scarf. Again, this print is my fave!

Half zip cashmere sweater.  The nordstrom quarter zip pullovers are amazing quality for the price. Eddie wears these all the time to work.

Self Watering Indoor Garden. This self watering option is so good and you can have herbs all winter long. We love ours!

Carbon Fiber Money Clip. I love how sleek this is.

Shinola Playing Cards. I love this set. So classy!

Yeti Soft Cooler. One of our best purchases ever. We use our yeti cooler a ton.

Star Wars Stance socks. Stance socks are the best. They are so

Checkered throw blanket. Everyone fights over these in our house.

Spice Rub Library. I love getting Eddie one of these every few years. He uses it to make his lunches – whether it’s chicken or vegetables, etc.

Watch box Organizer. I got Eddie one last year and he loved it.

Zoom Mute Button. OBSESSED with this. We all need it.

Ergonomic eye mask. This is on both of our lists this year.

Bocce ball set. A frivolous yet sharp version of a fan favorite!

Magnetic BBQ Lights. I ordered these this year for gifts. They are so versatile and can be used almost everywhere!

Heated neck wrap. Everyone needs one.

BEIS carry on suitcase. I got Eddie a tumi suitcase 10 years ago. We just bought a BEIS for Max, and the quality is incredible.

Convertible laptop bag/backpack. Love that this can be a crossbody or backpack bag!

Bondi 8 running shoes. These are the running shoes Eddie uses on both the treadmill and outdoors.

Ooni Pizza Oven. I got Eddie out first ooni years ago for his birthday. It’s easy to use, clean up, and a fun experience to make pizza together.

Splatter Screen. A MUST for every kitchen!

Reserve Black Greenpan Set. My favorite pans in the coolest black.

Carhart beanie. This is a timeless classic.

Vuori performance joggers. These are so comfortable and soft. I got them for Eddie for his birthday and he loves them.

Ember smart mug. This will forever be something I love. Keeps drinks warm!!

Ugg chukka boot. I have bought these for Eddie twice in the last 15 years or so – they are so comfortable, so warm and I love how they look.

Ugg scuff slipper. And the slippers too! They are the best.

Watch deck display case. Another option for the watch lover. The storage is incredible.

Shark Cordless Handheld Vacuum. This handheld vac is the BEST. We have it and love it.

Grill Mat Set. Everyone raves about these grill mats.

Solostove Bonfire Pit. I got one of these for my Dad. We love it!

Solostove Tabletop Pit. This is awesome for small spaces too.

Wunder Puff vest. The lulu vests are the best ones out there. I love both men and women’s version. So warm, puffy but not gigantic.

Higher Dose PEMF mat. I saved a favorite for last. The higher dose mats are expensive, but we both use this PEMF mat every single day. It is more than worth it for us. A great addition to a gym.

My 2023 women’s gift guide is here! All my favorite things in one place that I love so much.

gift guide for her

 

This gift guide is filled with TONS of my favorite things. The bags, shoes, pajamas and year-after-year items I use. You’ve seen and heard of a lot of them throughout 2021 as I’ve shared them in my favorites, but these are the best of the best of what I am loving!

Of course these gifts can be for anyone! These are my personal picks out of everything I have loved over the years.

2023 GIFT GUIDE FOR HER

Silk Pillowcase. This is something I use every single day. I think it’s a great gift! I even travel with mine if I go somewhere.

Magazine tote bag. The colors are so gorgeous – this pink!

Simple Modern 40oz tumbler. I have loved the Stanely tumbler for years, but this one has won out. It’s almost leak proof, so much sleeker, lighter and more economical. I adore it.

Glitter gold heels. My christmas shoes this year.

Mason Grey robe. This robe is life changing. It’s light weight, but still warm and SO soft. I got one right before Jordan was born for the hospital. It’s wonderful and stiff my favorite.

Fluffy Hotel Robe. If you prefer a fluffy hotel-like robe, I’m in love with this one. The tie dye on the edges is so cute without being obnoxious too. The kids have matching ones!

Silicone Bangle Keyring. Can’t live without this. Would lose my keys constantly!

Apothecary jar candle. I love a beautiful candle like this – because the jar can be repurposed.

And cute matches to match! Perfect stocking stuffer.

Chappy Wrap blanket. This was my #1 gift this year. I have gifted this so many times, most recently to my dad. It’s an excellent outdoor blanket.

Rifle paper calendar. This is my wall calendar every year! It’s so beautiful.

Le Specs Air Heart Sunglasses. My go-to sunglasses for over five years. Adore them.

Gold duffle bag. I just bought this as a gift to myself. Merry Christmas!

Bedazzled faux fur earmuffs. Lacy got me these for my birthday and they are SO fun. Also, super comfortable.

Delicate monogram necklace. I adore any delicate necklace.

Monogram heart pendant. But I also like this update to the monogram version!

Pastel CLUE game. We are huge on games over here. I like having a pretty one like this that can be displayed.

Primrose vanity mirror. This stunning version of the viral anthro mirror is perfect for a vanity.

Iridescent puffer mittens. Holographic or rainbow anything will always win out for me.

Wool city coat. Best quality coat for such a wonderful price. This blue is calling my name! I have it in black from years ago.

Barefoot Dreams Throw. This wins for the best gift you can give anyone. I’ve gifted this probably ten times over the last decade. Everyone loves it. These are the softest blankets on earth.

Better Homes & Garden Cozy Knit Throw. This is the closest I’ve found to barefoot dreams for a fraction of the price. It doesn’t feel exactly like it, but it’s so, so cloze and super cozy!

Moonlit Pajamas. This is something else I share every single year. BEST PAJAMAS EVER! So stretchy and soft and comfortable. I live in these. I love every version: the nightgowns, the button down PJs, the v-neck top ones.

Ugg Mini Boot. I will always profess my love for Uggs despite how ugly they can look. They are SO good for cold weather here. I get a new black pair every few years after I wear the heck out of mine. I got the black short ones last year and love them.

Lululemon Align Pants. You cannot go wrong with these. They have been uniform for years. Nothing compares.

MZ Wallace Metro Tote. I have used this tote for years – since Max was born. Going on seven years and it’s the best travel/throw-stuff-in tote.

Giant plaid scarf. An anthro scarf is a must if you live in a cold climate.

Faux leather texting gloves. And so are these gloves! I love that they aren’t bulky at all.

Nixon bracelet watch. My parents got me a nixon watch years ago and it’s still a favorite. I think they are so sharp.

Mildliner Markers. These are my favorite to use in my planner.

Mini Portable Fridge. Use it as a beauty fridge (my fave) or even for mini cans of the drink you love. I love these so much!

Sling Bag. I’ve been team-sling for two years now. The best way to be hands free.

Weighted sleep mask. I gifted this a bunch last year! Excellent for relaxation.

Rhinestone mini bag. This is a copy of many high end designer bags and I adore it. So cute for the holiday season or a fancy occasion.

Hatch Restore. I bought our hatch when I had Jordan. We can’t sleep without this. I also use this as my reading light!

New balance 327s. This was my favorite shoe of 2023. It is so flattering on the foot and just looks super cool. Also very comfortable.

Air Max 270 sneakers. And these would be my next choice. I have multiple colors and love the look of them.

Mini black bag with gold chain. This bag silhouette is such a favorite of mine. It’s so classic and timeless.

Quilted carryall bag. But I am also crushing over this quilted bag in all the amazing colors.

Jewel tone taper candles. Lacy also got me these for my birthday and they make me so happy. Such a great gift!

Lustre coupe glasses. I have a few of these and they are stunning. Always asked about when entertaining.

Tory Burch camera bag. If you want to gift a “good” luxury-ish bag, this is my #1 choice. I love everything Tory Burch and it’s so high quality, plus it looks very classic and will last forever. I want this camera one!

Pave crystal link earrings. I love this delicate earring with a modern twist.

Puffy platform slipper. My #1 slipper choice this year. Everything puffer gets me.

Barefoot dreams socks. My grandma got me socks every year and I love the tradition.

Healthy hair brush. This for a scalp massage is incredible.

Laptop Lap Desk. My parents got me this last a few years ago and I LOVE IT.

Hot and Cold foam froth maker. Makes cold foam! Sign me up!

Olukai Slipper Slides. These are my all-day at home “shoe” slippers. They are extremely supportive and great if you’re on your feet a lot.

Cashmere Scarf Wrap. A timeless classic that you can’t beat.

Bodum Tea For One. I LOVE this idea for quick loose leaf tea.

Portable Cup Warmer. The best priced mug warmer. Always a winner!

Brightland Artist Capsule. Everyone can use olive oil… and this is my favorite.

Roxanne Assoulin Bracelets. Most favorite bracelets ever! Lacy got me into these and they are so gorgeous. I love a stretchy, comfortable bracelet. And you can mix and match so many. Perfect for a color lover.

Canon Mini Photo Printer. Not only do I love this, the kids love it! I print out lots of pictures from my phone, which print on a sticker. You can add the pics to your planner, calendar, cards, etc. I stick pictures of Jordan in the kids’ backpack!

Scout Tote Bag. Everyone, seriously everyone, needs a scout bag. They fold flat and take up no space. They have a zipper and hold SO much. You can transport anything in them. They are waterproof! Absolutely perfect. I love these for teacher gifts with a gift card.

Windproof Umbrella. This is on my wishlist this year. I never have an umbrella.

Sharing my 2023 kids gift guide! All our favorite things for babies and kids, trusted toys and gifts that we love the most!

I say it every year, but this might be my favorite year of the kid’s gift guide yet!

Now that I have an 8 year old, a 6 year and a 2 year old, I feel confident in what my kids LOVE and enjoy playing with the most. This list hasn’t changed a lot this year – in fact, many things stay on it as Emilia moves into playing with some of Max’s things and Jordan moves into Emilia’s. One thing I left off the list because it’s so extensive: LEGOS! Max and Emilia are absolutely obsessed with Legos and build constantly.

And as usual, you can find a few kids favorites in each of my monthly favorites posts.

You can see some of our other favorites here: preschool favestoddler faveschildren’s books, and more! I’d love to hear below what you would include on this list too!

2023 KIDS GIFT GUIDE

Lovevery playkit subscription. I started this for Jordan when he was born and we have adored it. These are the most played with toys in our house.

Little Sleepies PJs! If you read my week in the life posts, you know how much we love these PJs. They last for so long, are so soft. The best! I also have a discount code for you (not sponsored)! Jessica15 will get you 15% off.

Rainbow Loom. Max’s current favorite thing. He makes bracelets for hours.

Paint brush cleaner. I can’t get enough of this. Just bought three for the kids.

The Big Dig. This is what Jordan is getting this year. How fun!

Toy sink. We have the lovevery version of this and it’s wonderful. Provides hours of entertainment.

Yoto Mini Player. This was one of the best buys of 2023. Emilia uses it every single day and night. It’s fabulous.

Balance bike. Jordan is getting one this year! The other kids had them too and loved.

Nerf target set. This is on Max’s list, of course.

Folding balance beam. We have this and all three kids love it. It’s so nice and portable too.

Tamagotchi. Got both of the older kids one of these. Brings back memories!

Digital bookmark. We have a few of them and Max and Emilia love them for reading.

Scribble Scrubbie Pets. Emilia LOVES these. They provide a good hour of entertainment.

Simple Modern kids tumbler. This is the best tumbler out there and now there is a kids version. It’s perfect! No spilling.

Chunkies Paint Sticks. One of our favorite things to color with.

Babiators. My favorite sunglasses for kids. I’ve been using them since Max was born and they are indestructible.

Anywhere Chair. All of my kids have these and we love them.

Pottery Barn Anywhere Couch. The couch is wonderful too!

Anywhere Beanbag. And last year the kids got the beanbags. Great for reading.

Baseball beanbag toss. This is on Max’s list. It’s fun!

Super Mario Light up alarm clock. This is also on his list. He has a boring alarm clock. I think he will love this.

Mushroom table lamp. My kids are all obsessed with lamps on their dressers and nightstands. This is too fun.

Twee Fancy Chalk. This is one of my favorite gifts to give. Any kind of fancy chalk is super fun.

Hill House Rainbow Robe. All three of my kids have these. They are so cute, so fluffy, so warm, so perfect!

Baseball Hall of Fame book. This is a great gift – Max will spend hours looking through it.

MLB stadium pinboard. New decor for Max’s room!

My First Play Table. We got this when Max was one and still use it constantly to this day. I’ve since bought two more in different sizes.

Widgeon Fleece Jacket. Perfect for little babes – this is a velcro closure instead of a zipper!

Sports Speaker. I got this for Max this year and I’m so excited!

Micro Mini Scooters. Get the ones with the fancy light up wheels! They are so fun.

Barbie Dream House. A classic!

Mondo Llama Painting Set. I can’t tell you how much these save me. I buy them every season. The kids LOVE them. I love that once they are finished, the paint is done and can be tossed.

Magnatiles. This has been one of the best toys we’ve had – as long as we’ve had kids. Max still loves playing with these at 6 years old and Emilia loves them too. They build together and play separately.

1000 Things to Eat. Another book we LOVE is this 1000 Things to Eat. We have all the versions of this too. Max especially loves this one right now.

Melissa and Doug One Stop Shop. Another item that we bought years ago for Christmas – both kids still love this. There is tons of imaginary play that goes on in our toy room, and this shop is a huge part of it.

Melissa & Doug Cool Scoops ice cream set. We have older versions of this. One of the biggest hits in our class.

Melissa & Doug Grill & Pizza Oven set. Thinking about this for Jordan this year. All three kids still love play food.

Babiators. My favorite sunglasses for kids. I’ve been using them since Max was born and they are indestructible.

Illustrated Harry Potter Books. Max got these years ago and he and Eddie read them all. Now Emilia’s into them.

Super Smalls play jewelry set. All of the super smalls stuff is fun and cute. Emilia loves it.

Rainbow Unicorn Rollerblades. Actual unicorns.

Ugg slippers. I can never resist uggs at Christmas. It works since it’s freezing here!

Waterproof Sorel boots. These are the boots both boys got this year. Excellent and look nice dressed up too.

Bogs waterproof boots. These are our go-to rain and snow boots!

Big Coloring Posters. These are a huge hit. The kids love them!

Fat Brain Tobbles. Another gift I love to give. Super fun to play with.

Duplo Bath Toys. I got these for Jordan this year and am so excited!

Color Changing Raincoats. My kids got these as gifts last year and they are just amazing. So super fun! We have the umbrellas and boots too. They are such a great gift.

The Nugget Play Couch. We have two nuggets and they are EVERYTHING. The kids play with them for hours.

Doona Liki Trike. The Doona car seat was by far the best purchase I made with Jordan. Last year he got the trike and it’s awesome!

My Big Wilmmelbooks. We love books in this house, but these are the ones my kids can get stuck in for a good while. It’s almost like a where’s waldo, but with scenes. We have every version, we always travel with them on road trips and they are really fun!

Construction Plate and Utensils. We love these plates! Max is a little too old for them now but Emilia has days where she loves them (especially the utensils) – and these are SO fun for young eaters that I had to include them again. We love these.

Car Road Tape. This is a repeat from last year because it’s a life saver. On a rough day, I pull this tape out and place it all over the house. The kids instantly have a road/race track/etc and LOVE it.

Type Set Co Boards & Letters. The kids got these for Christmas last year. The letters are SO pretty!

Yeti In My Spaghetti. One of our favorite board games.

2023 beauty gift guide

I love sharing my beauty gift guide every year! While you can find the beauty items I’m loving in my monthly favorites posts, the offerings during the holiday season are perfect for trying out new products or getting jumbo ones of your favorite size!

This is one of my favorite times of year because the gift sets are amazing – and you can get things to break apart and share with friends or use as stocking stuffers! If you want more ideas of things I love, you can always check out my monthly favorites posts.

2023 BEAUTY GIFT GUIDE

Facial massager. I love how relaxing this is for the face. It’s great for skincare, but I love it for headaches too. And allergies/sinus pressure.

Hot pink ice roller. Same with this one! Plus, there isn’t a better looking ice roller out there.

Bader the rich cream set. I have now been using this for almost… five years? I can’t live without the rich cream.

Bader the refresh set. And this is another great option if you want to try the brand!

Hillhouse silk pillowcase. Last year I switched my silk pillowcase to this Hill House version and I LOVE it. This one has a zipper and it’s so silky smooth.

Elemis cleansing balm trio. I oil cleanse every night, and this balm is the first step in my routine.

Dyson supersonic hair dryer. This is a ridiculous splurge, but I adore it. Eddie got it for me for Christmas two years ago. If you have a lot of hair, you will LOVE this. It has changed the game when it comes to drying my hair.

Dyson airwrap. On that same note, this styler is also a game changer. If I can only take one hair styler somewhere, this would be it. It replaces hot rollers and a curling iron for me. It gives your hair so much body.

Good Girl gift set. The best scent of life. At one time I think this was the most popular perfume in the world. It’s warm and wonderful.

Killian Angels Share Perfume. You should probably know the person you gift this to: it’s a warm, spicy, ambery, almost apple cider-y scent and it’s incredible. SO good for fall and winter.

Water Resistant Toiletry Bag. Dagne Dover makes some of my favorite bags. Super high quality.

Origins body cream trio. My favorite winter body cream! The ginger is a nostalgic scent for me, warm, spicy and smells incredible.

RMS beauty glow kit. Everything RMS is about glow and highlight. I adore it.

Simple human makeup mirror. This is my everyday makeup mirror. It is a splurge but Eddie and I both use it daily.

Lighted makeup mirror. This is a brighter version of a mirror that the simple human one – if you like a lot of light, this is perfect.

Portable Makeup Mirror. Same thing, but look at the size! This is perfect for any travel or even the car.

Solawave skin care wand. Light therapy for targeted areas of the face. I really love this.

CALPAK cosmetic case. Have this in multiple sizes and love it, especially for travel.

Vanity Kit. This is another option that I have and love. It’s so easy to use and very very lightweight.

Coconut Milk Bath Soak. This is another bath soak I love. It smells like coconut milk, not tropical. No bubbles – just a soak.

Sephora Pro Brush Set. My favorite makeup brushes from Sephora – currently 30% off!

Sigma Brush Essential Kit. Sigma also makes the BEST brushes – I use many of these ones too.

Rice Sake Bath Soak. This is my favorite bath soak, I’ve put this in my favorites for years. It’s super relaxing.

Dior addict beauty set. This balm is worth the set alone!

Large Neutral Claw Clips. I love claw clips when I’m at home for keeping my hair up.

Creaseless Hair Clips. I use (and love) these every time I do my hair.

KNC beauty eye mask. This is one of my favorite under eye masks. And it’s so cute too!

T3 blow dry brush. Everything T3 is incredible and lasts forever. I just bought this brush.

Westman Atelier highlight trio. Some of my favorite highlights. Gorgeous shades and so natural looking.

Makeup Eraser Set. I use these to remove my makeup in combination with cleansing oil. Love ’em.

Fresh lip care trio. Another go-to of mine for almost a decade.

Dr Dennis Gross Faceware Pro Mask. I bought a red light mask last year and look like a lunatic but dare I say… it works?

Pro facial steamer. I bought this during quarantine and now I do regular mini facials. I love it. SO easy to use.

Lip Pro LED Device. The same as above, but just for lips!

Dyptique candle set. Love these for bathrooms. They are perfect little gifts.

Replica mini cologne set. Some of the best scents in my opinion – all very timeless, classy and delicious.

Slip scrunchie set.  These are on my nightstand – I use them daily.

Value Size Bum Bum Cream. This body cream is my spring/summer favorite. I buy it at this sale every year.

Laura Mercier caviar stick set. I use these on my eyes everyday and I have for years. They are perfect.

Patchology eye masks. Excellent for waking up the eyes. These are so wonderful.

L’Occitane almond shower oil. This is a classic for the shower. Smells like heaven.

OSEA glow body set. Obsessed with the oil and balm. Both are fab!

Bobbi Brown face moisturizer duo. This is an incredible value. This cream is excellent under makeup.

Kate Somerville Radiant Skin Set. I buy a Kate set every year at Christmas. Eddie and I both love this.

Drybar Rollers and Hairclips Set. I bought this at the sephora sale and am super excited about it.

Gift guide week is HERE! We’re kicking this off with the best stocking stuffer gifts – these gifts are all under $25!

I love making gift guides and this is crazy – it’s my 13th year making them. This is always my favorite gift guide to make. It’s easily the price range where I find myself buying the most gifts – whether it’s for a grab bag family gift (we pick names in a few instances in our family and it’s GREAT – highly suggest doing this if you haven’t yet.), a stocking stuffer, a teacher gift, a work gift, etc. And I have SO MANY IDEAS for you here.

Most of the things you’ll find in my gifts guides won’t be a huge surprise – I’ve talked about most of them throughout the years in my monthly favorites posts. There are repeats from years past, because I want to make sure I’m recommending something I have, use, gifted and/or love. However, I’ve scoured the internet and lots of my favorite places to curate a guide of things I really, truly love, and plan on gifting. This is my favorite list!

As usual, I’m sharing gift guides in addition to my regular content, so if these aren’t of interest to you, there will still be new recipes and/or Crumbs content every day!

2023 STOCKING STUFFER GIFT GUIDE – MY FAVORITE GIFTS UNDER $25

Everyday Dinners! My newest book is current under $20 – the best price I’ve seen so far! I have no idea when that price will change, so stock up for some holiday gifts!

Lidded Tree Mug. These are the star of the show on my hot cocoa bar this year.

The Sandwich Shop Deck. My ideal perfect gift.

Lulu Twist Headband. I use these every morning to workout. It’s the most comfortable one.

Bubble Wrap Calendar. This seems like the most fun!

Mini Saucepan. This is beautiful and so cute.

I make salads for lunch (minus the dressing) and store them in here and they stay great for 2-3 days.

Good Vanilla Extract. Any kitchen lover will love this.

Honey Spoons. I love an edible gift!

Cheeseboard Markers. Super practical for the cheeseboard lover.

Cheeseboard with Slicer. So is this – and the price is fantastic.

Ink and Volt Notepads. I’ve raved about these for years now. If you know a stationary freak, get them a few of these!

Glass straws. My favorite reusable straws are the glass hummingbird straws. I love that you can see inside and can tell if they are clean or not.

Citrus juicer. This is one of those things that everyone needs but rarely buys themselves. Get a good one!

My 2022 men’s gift guide is here! All of my favorite things to gift Eddie or the guys in my life – and of course so many items that I would love too! This list is versatile and so good!

Everything I’m loving this year for my 2021 men’s gift guide – and everything Eddie is loving too! This is a mix of what I’ve bought him in the past and what he is getting this year. So much to love! Of course these gifts can be for anyone (I want many things on the list below!), but I know all the guys in my life would loooove this stuff! And they are always just so hard to buy for. There are also some great ideas in my gift guide under $25.

2022 MEN’S GIFT GUIDE

Aura Photo Frame. I gifted this six times in 2021 – it is incredible. I gave it to Eddie for Father’s Day and he has it at work. You upload pics to the app and they appear on the frame – multiple people can do it so it’s great for grandparents too! 

Shiatsu Back Massager. We have had this for years and people fight over it in our house. It is the most relaxing thing ever.

Shiatsu Neck Massager Pillow. This is such a good one too – it’s more of a pillow version that doesn’t wrap.

Weighted Sleep Mask. We LOVE these. We are big weighted blanket fans and this sleep mask is also awesome if you get headaches or migraines. It’s very relaxing. 

Portable Power Bank Charger. I have this one and it’s great. So slim and easy to throw in a bag.

Acupressure Mat. This is one of the best purchases of 2021 I made. It is so relaxing and really a game changer if you’re stressed out. 

Trigger Point Back Rocker. On the same note as the above, this is our next purchase. 

Moccamaster Coffee Maker. For the serious coffee lover!

Self Watering Indoor Garden. This self watering option is so good and you can have herbs all winter long. We love ours!

Carbon Fiber Money Clip. I love how sleek this is.

Shinola Playing Cards. I love this set. So classy!

Yeti Soft Cooler. One of our best purchases ever. We use our yeti cooler a ton.

Ugg Tasman Slipper. We both love the tasman because of the hard sole. Makes it easy to run outside if needed. I actually wear mine for school pickup all the time!

Ugg Chukka Boots. I have bought these for Eddie twice in the last 15 years or so – they are so comfortable, so warm and I love how they look.

Vuori Joggers. These are so comfortable and soft. I got them for Eddie for his birthday and he loves them. 

Cashmere Pullover. The nordstrom quarter zip pullovers are amazing quality for the price. Eddie wears these all the time to work.

Magnetic BBQ Lights. I ordered these this year for gifts. They are so versatile and can be used almost everywhere!

Ooni Pizza Oven. I got Eddie out first ooni years ago for his birthday. It’s easy to use, clean up, and a fun experience to make pizza together.

Splatter Screen. A MUST for every kitchen!

Reserve Black Greenpan Set. My favorite pans in the coolest black.

Shark Cordless Handheld Vacuum. This handheld vac is the BEST. We have it and love it.

Grill Mat Set. Everyone raves about these grillmats.

Solostove Bonfire Pit. I got one of these for my Dad. We love it!

Solostove Tabletop Pit. This is awesome for small spaces too.

Spice Rub Library. I love getting Eddie one of these every few years. He uses it to make his lunches – whether it’s chicken or vegetables, etc. 

Watch box Organizer. I got Eddie one last year and he loved it.

Fitness Massage Ball. I like this idea better than the theragun! 

Zoom Mute Button. OBSESSED with this. We all need it.

Moccamaster Coffee Maker. For the serious coffee lover!

Sling Backpack. This one is so sharp.

On Cloud Running Shoes. Eddie and I both love On shoes so much. They are incredibly comfortable. 

On Cloudnova Shoes. These are my favorite ones for casual wear! In both men and women’s styles.

Rechargeable Hand Warmers. This is the best idea for someone out in the cold often!

Bluetooth Shower Speaker. Everyone would love one of these.

Breakfast Sandwich Maker. Eddie is obsessed with breakfast sandwiches. I am getting him this!

Mini Power Scrubber. This is most gratifying cleaning tool ever. 

Yeti Rambler Mug. A classic favorite that everyone adores.

Native Charging Cable. We always get these every year for stockings.

Charcoal Reed Diffuser. I have the candle version of this and it’s incredible.

BBQ Grill Claws. We LOVE these for shredding chicken and pulled pork! 

Casamigos Cocktail Set. We love casamigos everything!

Jack Black Shave Essentials. Super cliche, but I get Eddie a set like this every year. He loves it!

Couples Split Sheet Set. I’ve joked about Eddie’s sleep habits for years and stealing the covers. This is GENIUS.

Engraved Tape Measure. A bit cliche, but very useful and practical.

2022 women's gift guide

 

This gift guide is filled with TONS of my favorite things. The bags, shoes, pajamas and year-after-year items I use. You’ve seen and heard of a lot of them throughout 2021 as I’ve shared them in my favorites, but these are the best of the best of what I am loving!

Of course these gifts can be for anyone! These are my personal picks out of everything I have loved over the years.

2022 GIFT GUIDE FOR HER

Mason Grey Robe. This robe is life changing. It’s light weight, but still warm and SO soft. I got one right before Jordan was born for the hospital. It’s wonderful and stiff my favorite.

Fluffy Hotel Robe. If you prefer a fluffy hotel-like robe, I’m in love with this one. The tie dye on the edges is so cute without being obnoxious too. The kids have matching ones!

Silk Pillowcase. This is something I use every single day. I think it’s a great gift! I even travel with mine if I go somewhere.

Silicone Bangle Keyring. Can’t live without this. Would lose my keys constantly!

The Simple Modern Tumbler. I have loved the Stanely tumbler for a year, but this one has won out. It’s almost leak proof, so much sleeker, lighter and more economical. I adore it. 

Barefoot Dreams Throw. This wins for the best gift you can give anyone. I’ve gifted this probably ten times over the last decade. Everyone loves it. These are the softest blankets on earth.

Better Homes & Garden Cozy Knit Throw. This is the closest I’ve found to barefoot dreams for a fraction of the price. It doesn’t feel exactly like it, but it’s so, so cloze and super cozy!

Moonlit Pajamas. This is something else I share every single year. BEST PAJAMAS EVER! So stretchy and soft and comfortable. I live in these. I love every version: the nightgowns, the button down PJs, the v-neck top ones.

Ugg Mini Boot. I will always profess my love for Uggs despite how ugly they can look. They are SO good for cold weather here. I get a new black pair every few years after I wear the heck out of mine. I got the black short ones last year and love them.

Lululemon Align Pants. You cannot go wrong with these. They have been uniform for years. Nothing compares.

MZ Wallace Metro Tote. I have used this tote for years – since Max was born. Going on seven years and it’s the best travel/throw-stuff-in tote.

Travel Jewelry Case. Got one of these last year and LOVE mine. So compact.

Stone Stud Earrings. These are the earrings I wear daily. A little sparkle but still understated!

Windproof Umbrella. This is on my wishlist this year. I never have an umbrella.

2023 Calendar. This is my wall calendar every year! It’s so beautiful.

Butter Socks. My grandma got me socks every year and I love the tradition.

Scout Tote Bag. Everyone, seriously everyone, needs a scout bag. They fold flat and take up no space. They have a zipper and hold SO much. You can transport anything in them. They are waterproof! Absolutely perfect. I love these for teacher gifts with a gift card. 

Mildliner Markers. These are my favorite to use in my planner.

Mini Portable Fridge. Use it as a beauty fridge (my fave) or even for mini cans of the drink you love. I love these so much!

Sling Bag. I’ve been team-sling for two years now. The best way to be hands free.

Checkered Beanie. I’ve already bought this for two gifts. I think it’s so cute!

On Cloudnova Sneakers. The sneakers I wear and love. So comfortable and supportive.

Tortoise Candle. Candles are tricky to buy unless you know the scents the person loves. This one is SO beautiful. 

Hatch Restore. I bought our hatch when I had Jordan. We can’t sleep without this. I also use this as my reading light! 

Roxanne Assoulin Bracelets. Most favorite bracelets ever! Lacy got me into these and they are so gorgeous. I love a stretchy, comfortable bracelet. And you can mix and match so many. Perfect for a color lover.

Canon Mini Photo Printer. Not only do I love this, the kids love it! I print out lots of pictures from my phone, which print on a sticker. You can add the pics to your planner, calendar, cards, etc. I stick pictures of Jordan in the kids’ backpack!

Initial Pendant Necklace. I love an initial necklace. 

Bodum Tea For One. I LOVE this idea for quick loose leaf tea.

Portable Cup Warmer. The best priced mug warmer. Always a winner!

Brightland Artist Capsule. Everyone can use olive oil… and this is my favorite.

Metallic Slippers. I love getting a new pair of slippers each Christmas because by then, mine from the previous year are usually worn out.

Olukai Slipper Slides. These are my all-day at home “shoe” slippers. They are extremely supportive and great if you’re on your feet a lot.

Cashmere Scarf Wrap. A timeless classic that you can’t beat.

Modern Farmhouse Coloring Book. Coloring saves my sanity sometimes. I love this farmhouse coloring book. 

Cashmere Fingerless Gloves. The only gloves worth wearing for me (unless I’m legit outside and shoveling) are fingerless. They’re so easy.

Monogram Trinket Dish. This is one of my go-to gifts. Everyone can use it!

Free People Slouchy Tunic. My favorite sweater is still an all-time best gift. It’s timeless, so comfortable and can be dressed up or down.

Laptop Lap Desk. My parents got me this last year and I LOVE IT.

Sharing my 2022 kids gift guide! All our favorite things for babies and kids, trusted toys and gifts that we love the most!2022 kids gift guide

I say it every year, but this might be my favorite year of the kid’s gift guide yet!

Now that I have a 4 year old and a 7 year old plus another baby, I feel confident in what my kids LOVE and enjoy playing with the most. This list hasn’t changed a lot this year – in fact, many things stay on it as Emilia moves into playing with some of Max’s things. One thing I left off the list because it’s so extensive: LEGOS! Max is absolutely still obsessed with Legos and builds constantly.

And as usual, you can find a few kids favorites in each of my monthly favorites posts.

You can see some of our other favorites here: preschool favestoddler faveschildren’s books, and more! I’d love to hear below what you would include on this list too!

2022 KIDS GIFT GUIDE

Micro Mini Scooters. Get the ones with the fancy light up wheels! They are so fun.

Little Sleepies PJs! If you read my week in the life posts, you know how much we love these PJs. They last for so long, are so soft. The best!

Type Set Co Boards & Letters. The kids are getting one of these for Christmas this year. The letters are SO pretty!

My Big Wilmmelbooks. We love books in this house, but these are the ones my kids can get stuck in for a good while. It’s almost like a where’s waldo, but with scenes. We have every version, we always travel with them on road trips and they are really fun!

MagnetBlox. Getting these for Jordan this year. I love them!

The Nugget Play Couch. We have two nuggets and they are EVERYTHING. The kids play with them for hours.

Toniesbox. I have gifted this twice now. So wonderful for kids who love music. 

Melissa and Doug Magnetic Dress Up Set. Emilia loves this so much that sometimes she sleeps with it in her bed. It is so fun to play with.

Rainbow Unicorn Rollerblades. These are what Emilia is getting this year!

Mondo Llama Painting Set. I can’t tell you how much these save me. I buy them every season. The kids LOVE them. I love that once they are finished, the paint is done and can be tossed.

Doona Liki Trike. The Doona car seat is by far the best purchase for baby this time around. I can’t wait until Jordan is a little bigger to get the trike! Planning on this for us to use next spring!

Magnatiles. This has been one of the best toys we’ve had – as long as we’ve had kids. Max still loves playing with these at 6 years old and Emilia loves them too. They build together and play separately.

Color Changing Raincoats. My kids got these as gifts last year and they are just amazing. So super fun! We have the umbrellas and boots too. They are such a great gift.

Construction Plate and Utensils. We love these plates! Max is a little too old for them now but Emilia has days where she loves them (especially the utensils) – and these are SO fun for young eaters that I had to include them again. We love these.

Car Road Tape. This is a repeat from last year because it’s a life saver. On a rough day, I pull this tape out and place it all over the house. The kids instantly have a road/race track/etc and LOVE it.

Jellycat Stuffed Animals. These are our absolute favorites!! So soft and squishy and cuddly.

3D Tic Tac Toe Game. I bought this for the kids this year. We love tic tac toe in our family. 

Hill House Rainbow Robe. My kids got these last year and I have the matching one. They are so cute, so fluffy, so warm, so perfect!

My First Play Table. We got this when Max was one and still use it constantly to this day.

Widgeon Fleece Jacket. Perfect for little babes – this is a velcro closure instead of a zipper!

1000 Things to Eat. Another book we LOVE is this 1000 Things to Eat. We have all the versions of this too. Max especially loves this one right now.

Melissa and Doug One Stop Shop. Another item that we bought years ago for Christmas – both kids still love this. There is tons of imaginary play that goes on in our toy room, and this shop is a huge part of it.

Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Set. Emilia LOVES these. Got them for her birthday last year and I got her another one this year. They provide a good hour of entertainment.

Melissa and Doug Snow Cone Set. My kids are big on their play kitchen and food. This is a new addition to our set this year.

Kid’s Sorel Boots. If you live in a cold/snowy climate, I can’t recommend the kid’s sorel boots enough. They are SO warm. I can get two seasons out of them with Max, and then I save them for Emilia as she grows into them. The quality is so good.

Big Coloring Posters. These are a huge hit. The kids love them!

Fat Brain Tobbles. Another gift I love to give. Super fun to play with. 

Duplo Bath Toys. I got these for Jordan this year and am so excited! 

Caboodles. I got Emilia one for her birthday. My kids love any kind of case or bag that they can stash their stuff in.

The Floor Is Lava. This game was the HIT of the holidays last year.

Illustrated Harry Potter Books. Max got these two years ago, but he’s SO into them now. We’re on book #3 and he loves them.

Melissa and Doug Wooden Puzzle Set. We’ve got a ton of use out of these puzzles – my mom also has multiple versions at her house and the kids love them. Emilia is really into them, but Max still enjoys them now too!

Little People Animals. My kids LOVE playing with Little People anything – especially the animals. I always kept some of these in my diaper bag and they were great for the car or being out in the stroller.

Chunkies Paint Sticks. One of our favorite things to color with. 

Babiators. My favorite sunglasses for kids. I’ve been using them since Max was born and they are indestructible. 

Anywhere Chair. All of my kids have these and we love them. 

Twee Fancy Chalk. This is one of my favorite gifts to give. Any kind of fancy chalk is super fun. 

Shark Slippers. These shark slippers are so fun. 

Slipper Boots. New cozy slippers for the year!

Yeti In My Spaghetti. One of our favorite board games.

Super Smalls Jeweled Gloves. Emilia loves everything jewelry and accessories. She will love these for dress up.

Super Smalls Jewelry Set. We have multiples and they are fun. Big shiny jewels!

Sharing my 2022 beauty gift guide favorites today! All the best in skincare and makeup, gift sets and jumbo size favorites! Best time of year to try new things!2022 beauty gift guide

I love sharing my beauty gift guide every year! While you can find the beauty items I’m loving in my monthly favorites posts, the offerings during the holiday season are perfect for trying out new products or getting jumbo ones of your favorite size! And better yet, right now is Sephora’s fall beauty sale, so many of these items are between 10 and 30% off.

This is one of my favorite times of year because the gift sets are amazing – and you can get things to break apart and share with friends or use as stocking stuffers! If you want more ideas of things I love, you can always check out my monthly favorites posts.

2022 Beauty Gift Guide

Hill House Silk Pillowcase. Last year I switched my silk pillowcase to this Hill House version and I LOVE it. This one has a zipper and it’s so silky smooth.

Killian Angels Share Perfume. You should probably know the person you gift this to: it’s a warm, spicy, ambery, almost apple cider-y scent and it’s incredible. SO good for fall and winter. 

Dyson Hair Dryer. This is a ridiculous splurge, but I adore it. Eddie got it for me for Christmas last year. If you have a lot of hair, you will LOVE this. It has changed the game when it comes to drying my hair.

Dyson Air Wrap. On that same note, this styler is also a game changer. If I can only take one hair styler somewhere, this would be it. It replaces hot rollers and a curling iron for me. It gives your hair so much body.

Dyson Straightener. I just bought this at the sephora sale and am ELATED over it! Love that they have a straightener version. 

T3 Curling Wand. This is my go-to wand and I use if I don’t use the air wrap. Have had this for years and it’s still great. 

Detangle Brush Duo. My daily brush – I use the comb on Emilia’s hair too. 

Kitsch Terry Cloth Towel Scrunchie. Love love love these. Especially if my hair is damp. 

Water Resistant Toiletry Bag. Dagne Dover makes some of my favorite bags. Super high quality. 

Sephora Pro Brush Set. My favorite makeup brushes from Sephora – currently 30% off!

Sigma Brush Essential Kit. Sigma also makes the BEST brushes – I use many of these ones too.

Rice Sake Bath Soak. This is my favorite bath soak, I’ve put this in my favorites for years. It’s super relaxing.

Lord Jones CBD Bath Salts. Same here! I have alternated between these and the above. 

Bader Trial Set. Excellent if you want to try Bader before committing. 

Bader Daily Duo. Bader is so pricey and this is an incredible kit for the price. I cannot live without Bader. It has saved my skin!

Simple Human Makeup Mirror. This is my everyday makeup mirror. It is a splurge but Eddie and I both use it daily. 

Masking Minis Set. A favorite that I buy every year.

Makeup Eraser Set. I use these to remove my makeup in combination with cleansing oil. Love ’em. 

Facial Steamer. I bought this during quarantine and now I do regular mini facials. I love it. SO easy to use.

Calpak Clear Cosmetics Case. Have this and love it, especially for travel. 

Vanity Kit. This is another option that I have and love. It’s so easy to use and very very lightweight.

Loccitane Hand Cream Set. I buy this set every year for gift add ons. Huge hit! 

Oribe Gold Lust Hair Set. I always buy this when the sephora sale is happening. The texture spray is great.

Coconut Milk Bath Soak. This is another bath soak I love. It smells like coconut milk, not tropical. No bubbles – just a soak. 

Kiehls Masking Set. Another fave that I love to get!

KNC beauty eye mask. This is one of my favorite under eye masks. And it’s so cute too!

Fresh Sugar Lip Set. Another go-to of mine for almost a decade. 

Charlotte Tillbury Lip Set. This lip set is legendary – the pillow talk shade is gorgeous.

Charlotte Tillbury Eye Shadow Palette. Love these universally flattering colors.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. Love this at night before bed. 

Kate Somerville Radiant Skin Set. I buy a Kate set every year at Christmas. Eddie and I both love this. 

Dr Dennis Gross Peel Set. I can’t live without my peel pads. 

Dr Dennis Gross Faceware Set. I bought a red light mask last year and look like a lunatic but dare I say… it works? 

Value Size Bum Bum Cream. This body cream is my spring/summer favorite. I buy it at this sale every year. 

Ginger Souffle Body Cream Set. My favorite winter body cream! This is a nostalgic scent for me, warm, spicy and smells incredible.

Laura Mercier Body Cream. An oldie but a goodie. This is another holiday time lotion that’s amazing.

Slip Mega Scrunchie Kit. These are on my nightstand – I use them daily. 

Stardust Curler and Lash Comb. My grandma always used to put an eyelash curler in my stocking. Love the tradition. 

Drybar Rollers and Hairclips Set. I bought this at the sephora sale and am super excited about it. 

Lighted Makeup Mirror. This is a brighter version of a mirror that the simple human one – if you like a lot of light, this is perfect.

Portable Makeup Mirror. Same thing, but look at the size! This is perfect for any travel or even the car.

Large Neutral Claw Clips. I love claw clips when I’m at home for keeping my hair up. 

Creaseless Hair Clips. I use (and love) these every time I do my hair. 

Facial Ice Globes. These are the new skin rollers!
