MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE '25 - INSPIRED BY A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!

Mother's Day is already right around the corner and it always comes in the midst of such a busy season with end of school activities, graduations, family birthdays, shower season... lots of occasions!  I've thought about some of my very favorite things that would make great gifts so I hope this Mother's Day gift guide spurs some ideas for you to make this busy season a bit easier!  I have a few specific things to share with you and then a bigger round up of gifts your Mom (or you😉) might love too.  Children's silhouette artwork is such a classic, meaningful gift, the ones I have of my kids are treasures for sure! I've blabbed about these faux tulips a lot recently but they really are so good and come in a ton of colors, and Mom can enjoy them much much longer than a bouquet of fresh flowers!  Always on the gift idea list... blue and white porcelain pieces!  I love using my blue and white umbrella stand to corral our fireplace tools, and this blue and white ......

DISC GOLF COUPLES SHOWER AND WEDDING SHOWER HOSTESS GIFT IDEAS

Today I'm sharing another engagement/wedding related post in a series I'm compiling following my son's wedding last Fall.  I'll share a little bit from the disc golf couples shower that our friends hosted for them, and I have a big list of great ideas for shower hostess gift ideas (or really any hostess gift you might need!). My friends that organized the shower decided that they wanted to make it a couples shower, and it was so much fun!  Caleb loves to play disc golf, and my friend had the idea to borrow some disc golf baskets and make it the theme of the shower.  I think she had about 6 stands that were spread out around the property to let the guests have some fun!  The hostesses set up this cute table to welcome people as they arrived.   One of them had a friend make buttons from some of the engagement pictures that everyone could wear at the party then take home as a favor.  They also had some frisbees for favors with stickers in the center marki......

FATHER'S DAY '24 GIFT GUIDE

Father’s Day is right around the corner, and I’ve  worked together with Ray to compile this Father's Day Gift Guide list full of many of the things that he already has, uses, and loves and would recommend for the Dad you're shopping for!     T here’s a good variety of price points and options for whatever Dad might be interested in, so we hope this helps you  find your perfect gift!  Is Dad a golfer?  In the past, my husband has never been an avid golfer, but over the last few years he’s discovered how much even an hour at the driving range helps him relax and decompress.   He got his first driver and  first set of clubs that weren’t hand me downs last year and has been pleased with the performance and value. We also just tried these new golf shirts and shorts that he said are very comfortable- he mentioned really liking the collar and the different patterns available. If your favorite golfer likes fun patterned and colored yet affordable ......

MOTHER'S DAY 2024 GIFT GUIDE

It's sneaking up so quickly, in lieu of Five Friday Favorites I thought I'd share a Mother's Day gift guide today.  I'll have a little description here of each thing I chose and the product photos further down in the post are also clickable and interactive for easy shopping.  Hope this is helpful and you find some things that Mom (and maybe you too 😉) will love!  Mother's Day is just around the corner, but almost all of these should arrive in time if you don't delay shopping.   I kind of can't believe I don't have a phone stand, but I probably need one and this  cane design acrylic phone stand  is perfection!  Barrington bags are always on my gift guides, there are countless combinations of custom fabric designs and monogram colors that you can choose.  Love this wristlet pouch  and I have 3 tote bags ( the St. Anne and the Savannah )  that I've stuffed to overflowing on trips and put through the wringer for years now and they are......

AMAZON PRIME DAY PICKS THAT I'VE BOUGHT AND LOVE!

It's Amazon Prime Day today and tomorrow, and there are some good deals to be found!  I went through my purchases from the past year or two and selected all of the things that are marked down for Prime Day that I thought you might like too.  Several of these are things I haven't had a chance to share with you in other posts, just know if it's here I've found it useful, love and recommend!  Maybe you can get a jump on your Christmas shopping today, I know I am! (Aside note update:  I wanted to mention this because a few weeks ago I shared with you all that we had an upcoming trip to Israel.  We were supposed to leave yesterday morning.  As I know many of you are as well, we are heartsick over all that is happening and praying Psalm 122 for peace and protection over innocent civilians.) HOME DEALS I used these bulk packs of satin table runners last year at Christmas for allllll the bows (not shown but I used some for fabulous bows on gifts, too!) and the fla......

I'm hoping this is better late than never.... maybe you already have all of your gifts wrapped and under the tree, but if you're like me you've barely started shopping!  I enjoy polling my family to think of some of their favorite, most used things from the past year.  Here's what we came up with this year to share with you, and there are a few things that are on our personal wish lists for this Christmas, too.  Some of these have shipping deadlines within the next few days in order to arrive in time for Christmas, so don't delay (I'm speaking to myself here...ha!).  Hope you find some helpful suggestions in the year's favorites Christmas Gift Guide if you still need ideas for someone on your list!   GIFTS FOR HER Heart Necklace - this is at the top of my personal wish list.
