The Ultimate 60 – Etsy Holiday Gift Guide
Etsy is one of my favorite websites in the world. Besides having the best gifts for yourself or for friends and family, you’re supporting makers and artisans from around the world which is something that is near and dear to my heart. Anything I’ve gotten compliments on and asked “where did you get that” is almost always from Etsy. I could go on and on about them and the hundreds of thousands of items, but I wanted to give you some of my favorite gift options.
Holiday Gift Guide – 42 for the Foodie in your Life
For the foodie in your life, and everyone has one, I’ve curated a list of the best of the best. I have to say that I consider myself a serious foodie so I’ve picked gifts that I would love or already have plus gifts that I would love to receive. So if you’re stumped as to what to give them, stay tuned. I’ve broken it down into different categories and I’m sure you’ll find something that would be perfect.
Holiday Gift Guide – 30 Cozy and Warm Gifts for any Woman in Your Life
I decided to do a gift guide of warm & cozy items for women because, frankly, “pandemic wear” is still a thing to me. Marketing gurus called it “athleisure” back then and now it’s called “slow living” and encompasses your whole lifestyle. But whatever it’s called, I think it’s here to stay and every woman loves something cozy against her skin as well as making her home warm and inviting. Think multiple textures and neutral colors, but you don’t always have to follow the rules. Pops of color are welcome too.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
