Gifting Made Easy!
Summer birthday gifts!
This gift guide is special for your friends and family that have the dreaded summer birthday! Get gifting them a special gift they can enjoy and use this summer. If they will be at the pool all summer I love these pool jewels, fun basketball set or great tote. Do you know they will be at the beach all summer? Then gift a personalized towel, awesome beach chair or skimboard. If lake life is your jam they need a new wakeboard, an inflatable water hammock or lifejacket. Your teen will be thrilled to receive this toast bikini, bodyboard or Hari Mari flipflops.
Father’s Day Gift Guide!
Father’s Day is right around corner and here are some great gifts for him! I like to include all types of men’s gifts so that you find something for your husband or dad. If your spouse is an outdoorsman he would love this collapsible table or Orvis sling. Maybe your dad is a great cook and would enjoy this Saltverk set or Fish pan and spatula. Do you need to spruce up his wardrobe…buy him this lightweight blazer or new loafers. Looking for gifts for your athlete then he needs this new Garmin or Therabody cube for healing. So many great men’s gifts here…Get Gifting!
Men’s Birthday Gift Ideas!
Happy January Friends! I do a winter men’s gift guide every year because my hubbie’s birthday is in January. I have to hold back a few men’s gift ideas from Christmas for his birthday! The best thing about a January birthday is you can scoop up a lot of gifts on sale like this fun flannel shirt, Patagonia Nano Jacket or On Running Sneakers. I gave Tommy the Solo Stove years ago and it is the best gift ever. Now they have a metal surround that acts as a table that I love and include a log holder for a fun themed fire pit gift! Fun men’s gifts here too if he has a hobby like fishing, golf or cooking gifts. Looking ahead to a great Men’s Valentine’s Day gift would be this yummy Surf & Turf box. Get Gifting your spouse, boyfriend, father or brother!
2023 College Age Gift Guide!
Holiday Gift Guide #12 is here. I had SO many requests for college age/young adult gift ideas that I added this gift guide this year. I included some home decor items like this mirror, sheet set, original art or griddle set that they can use in apartment at college or on their own. Gift them a nice jacket like this Whitespace puffer or Stio jacket they can use this winter. Does your young adult love a party. Give them these beer mittens or the JBL party box. You know I’m a sucker for beauty gifts like this Givenchy lipstick or Thrive blush. Want a good jewelry splurge Christmas? I love this Shinola watch or Emerald Gold necklace! They will be thrilled to play with this Disc Game, Golf Simulator or Beach volleyball set. Get Gifting your College Kids and Young Adults!
