Holidays can make me a little crazy.  I always put a good amount of pressure on me to find the perfect gift. for everyone.  It’s just one of the ways I like to show someone how much i love them- all – look!  

you are known!  you are loved. 

i have a ton of girls on my list to buy for this year – with all the girls in my family & my bffs it can get a little overwhelming.  JB, being the financial hero of the house, always makes me spend the time to write out a budget.  I always always always hate that part of it, but then I’m glad after it’s done.  

It helps me be intentional about my Christmas gifts instead of walking into the store and buying  all of the thiiiiiings like a toddler with a credit card.

Some odds and ends; perfect for the cook to the girl who likes to get pampered.

For the girlfriend or sist or mama who loves fashion in general.  from baubles to this seasons must have sunnies.  {so pretty much every gal in my life}

I’m a paper a holic and you know my girlfriends are too!  (shop small with them at shannon kirsten & paper please)  I’ve always been a huge fan of writing letters.  Must have stemmed from going to camp every summer and writing every single day to my mama.  Or the fact that my mom made us write out thank you notes from the time i could hold a crayon.  Anyhow, I still love it.  From the perfect pens to the perfect card.

For the gal who loves Kate Spade.  What I love about KS is their products are multi generational.  I could totally see my grandma having their mugs, my mom having their jewelry, and me having their paper products.

So for those who love a good glass of wine, or for those who love them some coffee in their favorite mug (i’m both of these kinda gals) …
this one is definitely a favorite ($25) or this one for just ($8).
