Happy Holidays to my fellow F4M elves! I am overjoyed to be back on the blog with another gift guide this season. Truly nothing I enjoy more than sending a link of items I love. I have been rounding up my favorite links all year long and am ready to share with you! My hope is that you will find even one unique gift off of this list that will bring joy to someone you love. Already finished up your holiday shopping? You go girl! Just hit 'save for later' and you will have gifts down the road. This list has been organized into categories, but feel free to mix and match to your liking!
So let me set the scene: it's a rainy November morning and I am sipping a Peppermint Mocha while Hallmark movies play in the background; tonight, my Christmas tree will be up, Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup will fill my home with a delightful scent, while red wine fills my cup; and, now, we shop!
Local Shopping
- Southern Grace Baby Boutique: This is truly a one-stop shop to knock out so many people on your list AND with a unique gift! They not only have an assortment of cutie baby clothing/toys/books, but also so many options for personalized gifts. That's right - they will personalize for you and even deliver to your house if you're local! I am talking knives, duffel bags, cutting boards, flash lights, burp cloths, coasters, and more. The best surprise is that the price listed on each item includes the personalization!
- Taste and See: My go-to gift for quite a few people on my list is the chocolate box! They have a variety of sizes making this perfect for anyone from your grandparents to your kiddo's teacher.
- Annie Rateliff Skincare: If you don't already know Annie you are truly missing out. Give the gift of a facial this year!

- Salty Boutique: They have it all from books, to candles, to toys, to clothing, to pens, and more. The perfect shop to throw together a fun gift basket or grab some stocking stuffers!

- Baby Playhouse: Hear me out, mamas!! It is large and not aesthetically pleasing and probably loud, but I have a feeling it is going to be well loved.

There isn't a kid that has come to our house that hasn't ridden this toy. Pro tip: If it isn't on sale when you go to purchase you should wait! It is commonly marked down to $29!!

Friends, that was a lot. Like so, so much. I absolutely love being able to list some items that maybe you didn't think of before and if I helped you find even one gift I call it a win. I do not have a LTK account so I'm sharing these links because I truly do just love it! I find it so fun to share good finds. Wishing you all happy shopping but an even happier Christmas season. Remember, you are the magic behind the gifts and decor. Your kids feel joy because you made it so, not because of a toy under the tree.
A very merry Christmas to all of you magic makers,
Mia Ray, F4M Txk Instructor
