Happy Holidays, fellow mamas! I jumped at the opportunity to share my thoughts and ideas on gifts this year. I love nothing more than sending a good link to my girlies and thought, why not share with everyone? This time of year is tough, but it does not have to be! If you are coming into December frantically trying to check off those last few people on your list, then I hope this gift guide can assist you. If you have it all together and your list is done (kudos, mama!), then I hope you see some things you can save for later. This list is separated into groups to keep it organized but I think it's fun to mix and match for what works for your people! Happy shopping!

First and foremost - Do yourself a favor and order a Christmas Train Set for under your tree. I finally ordered this year and the joy it brings my toddler is unmatched! This is truly a gift for the whole family and I hope it brings joy to my family for years to come.

For the Women

• Stocking Stuffers
• Gift Certificate to FIT4MOM Texarkana: Gift your fellow moms a community this season. The hardest part is being vulnerable and showing up, let F4M do the rest. Truly the gift that keeps on giving!
• Giftcard to Alley Cats Coffee Bar: Who doesn't need a cup of joe this time of year?! Gift this treat to a local business and make a coffee date to enjoy time together.
• Custom Brass Cuff on Alex's Art and Objects: Okay, these are so fun and unique! I personally ordered mine before sharing this list in case they sell out. This is a small business and there are so many options to customize the perfect cuff! There are options for charm bracelet cuffs, initial cuffs, or any personalization of your choice. Seriously, just so fun!
• Brazilian Bum Bum Cream: Hear me out - if you haven't tried this cream before just trust me and gift it (even to yourself). This time of year our skin is begging for hydration and this cream is so luxurious and smells heavenly!
• Annie Rateliff Skincare: This is such a fun way to support a local business! Annie can provide so many gift options - from cute stocking stuffer products to gift certificates for facials. Give the gift of beautiful skin this year because you just cannot go wrong here.
• Under the Tree
• Gift card to LinkedxAlissa: Who doesn't love permanent jewelry?! Alissa can offer numerous chains to choose from and fun initials or birthstones to add for a little flair. You can find her on Instagram @linkedxalissa

For the Men

• Stocking Stuffers
• Gift card to Ace Hardware: Let's be real - we all have a man on our list that seems to have it all. Support a local business and give him the gift of choosing what he needs! Whether it be something new or replacing something he already has. This is a gift you cannot go wrong with.
• Boxer Briefs: You may giggle, but y'all I am beyond serious here! A gift that is always needed and rolls up just perfectly to fit into any stocking. Buy his favorite brand and pat yourself on the back for checking off an actual necessity.

• 4-Way Stretch Comfy Athletic Pants: Okay, these Lulu dupes are SO good. My husband owns them and wears them often: casually, for work, and for golf. 10/10 recommend.
• Sunglasses Organizer for Travel: Have someone on your list that owns a pair of sunglasses for every type of outing? Ex: golfing, hunting, dressy, working, etc. This is the ultimate case that they can travel with but also keep in their vehicle!
• 3 in 1 Wireless Charger for Travel: Charge it all in one! An incredibly useful gift for those difficult to buy for people on your list.
• Hook and Ring Pro: You know that fun game everyone plays at the bar? Gift it to someone's backyard this season! Seriously though, a fun gift for all ages.
• Engraved Leather Valet Tray: For the person on your list that seems to leave their keys and/or wallet anywhere/everywhere. Provide a beautiful spot that is all theirs!

For the Kids

• Gift card to iJump!: Honestly a fun gift for any age but also a gift for the parents, am I right?
• Swimming Turtle Bath Toy on Amazon: New bath toys are always a crowd pleaser in our house and these are so cute!

• Kids Visual Timer: Who else is entering the stage of "5 more minutes!"? This visual timer is honestly so cool and hopefully will gift you some peace when screen time is over.

• Under the Tree

• Wiggle Car Ride On Toy: We all despise having to keep a charge on those battery powered cars. Here's the solution!

• Faux Fur Saucer Chair: Add some personality to their space with these fun saucer chairs! I can vividly remember being obsessed with a chair just like this in my own room growing up.
• Blu Track Classic 15ft Starter Set: Have a car obsessed kiddo? This one's for you! This track is incredibly versatile and so easy to roll up and take for travel. We personally own this one and it has been so fun to build obstacles to race on!

For the Grandparents

• Under the Tree
• Chocolate Box from Taste and See: Support a local small business with a delicious chocolate box! They have different sizes to choose from and these boxes come wrapped with a bow, ready for the tree. I personally gift these to my grandparents every year and they are always a crowd pleaser!
• Personalized Stationery from Dear Ellie James: This can truly be a gift for anyone on your list! DEJ can create any custom stationery for you and who doesn't love receiving snail mail?
• Gift certificate for Family Photo Session: Have a local photographer that you use every year and adore? Support them during their busy season by purchasing a gift certificate for family photos! This is such a special gift that will be treasured for years to come.
• Scout & Cellar Wine: Bring the holiday spirits with you this season! Scout & Cellar has graciously put together gift sets for you to take the guessing out of it. Click this link and make sure you're shopping with consultant Cody & Rachelle Cope.
• Premium Solid Faux Fur Blanket: Okay, we all love a good throw but this one takes the cake! It is large, soft and oh so cozy. I have one in my home and gifted these a couple of years ago. Such a steal for the price!
• Return Address Stamp on Etsy: Pairs perfectly with a DEJ stationery set! There are so many fun options for each personality on Etsy. Linking my personal favorite here!
• Unbreakable Stemmed Wine Glass Set of 4: Anyone else not a huge fan of stemless wine glasses? These are for you! They will stand up to your toddler (!!!) and have a stem to keep your fingerprints off the glass (PRAISES). These truly make the perfect addition to your outdoor collection.
• 12x12 White Mat Frames, Set of 6: Bring joy into their home with a set of simple frames that can be filled with memories. These would pair wonderfully with a family photo session or print your favorite phone photos! Sometimes a toddler selfie says everything you need it to. My favorite place to print is Walgreens because they always have a coupon and you can order online.

Wow, that is a whole lot to skim through! My goal here was to provide something for everyone and I sincerely hope this helps you check even one person off of your list! Sending you all love this holiday season. Remember that it truly isn't about the gifts, there is a much bigger reason for the season and how blessed are we to be able to share it with our families? The days of tiny feet running around the Christmas tree are fleeting, so take them in. Truly breathe it in. You are the magic, mamas.

Merry everything,
