October Best Sellers Make For Great Gifts

Hello pretty ladies,

Happy Halloween! I hope you had a great weekend. I can’t believe how fast October flew by. Thinking that was the fastest month ever! How about you? That means Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, and Christmas is 8 weeks away. I love this time of the year; it goes way too fast. I wish there was a way to slow it down and savor all the little moments even longer. Don’t you?

I have found you like a recap of what sold best in the month, as these are the items you love and purchase that make them Best Sellers. The monthly best sellers would make great gifts this time of the year. Items you love make for great gifts to check off people on your list, wouldn’t you agree? A couple of these best-sellers are on sale and would be cute to wear on Thanksgiving.

5 Thoughtful and 5 Purchased Father’s Day Gifts for your Hubby

5 Thoughtful and 5 Purchased Father’s Day Gifts for your Hubby

5 Thoughtful and 5 Purchased Father's Day Gifts for your Hubby

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

It’s that time of year again where we’re thinking of dads & hubby gifts for Father’s Day. I know so many struggle with gift ideas for men. Being a boy mom, I think, makes it a little easier for me. Because I am always on the hunt for gifts my guys will love. So today, I am sharing 5 thoughtful gifts and 5 purchased gifts that my guys love. 

There are a lot of great ideas out there for men, especially if they have hobbies, the Golfer or Skier, Beer or Coffee Enthusiast. The office worker and the Car guy.

Whatever your dad is into, they make something cool that would make for a great gift. It is about thinking about what dad likes to do or how he likes to spend his time.  

5 Thoughtful Gift Ideas

  1. Make his favorite meal. My guys love food, as the saying goes…” A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!” So cooking his favorite meal on his special day is thoughtful and always a big hit.
  2. Have his car detailed. Having your car detailed is a big treat, although all my guys like to wash and care for their vehicles. It shows your care to have his car cleaned and professionally detailed.
  3. Do “His” chores? Do you and your Hubby have chores you each do? You know the drill… Hubby mows the lawn. Do you do laundry? (or another way around) Whatever his “chores” are. You and the kids do them.
  4. Do an activity your Hubby likes to do, Go for a drive, a bike ride, boating, golf, etc. However, he wants to spend extra time and do that as a couple or as a family. 
  5. Give him a Massage. My Hubby loves massages, facials, and all the pampering. Pamper your Hubby.

 

5 Gifts You Can Purchase

 Gift ideas from Lululemon you can purchase for your Hubby he will love no matter what his hobbies, style, or taste are like. All of my guys love and use these things, and they are so happy to get them as gifts.

  1. Lululemon Shorts = Comfy made for  Running, training, or stretching. Wear these lightweight, multi-sport shorts for pretty much everything. Zippered storage keeps essentials close. My guys wear regular Summer shorts. They love the comfort. Shorts come in several colors. Bowline short is great too.
  2. Restfeel Men’s Slides=Dual-density is cushioning provides maximum comfort and support, and Minimalist strap upper with foam lining for an exceptional fit and feel. Great for poolside, but awesome after the gym or sports, excellent after a long day on your feet. Under $60
  3. Always in Motion Long Boxer= Comes in 2 lengths, 5″ and 7″. These boxers feature an ergonomic design and super-soft, quick-drying fabric for total comfort while working out or on the go. My guys love these, and it’s all they want to wear. No other underwear will do. The 3 pack is a better value. 
  4. Pool Short= Dads need a new swimsuit every year too! This isn’t just a swimsuit. Lululemon created these streamlined swim shorts with thoughtful details that make them perfect for a day in (or out) of the pool.
  5. The Fundamental T-shirt=When tech and comfort collide. This wardrobe staple blends soft cottony fabric with our abrasion-resistant and anti-stink technologies for a classic tee that’ll last. The tee shirt he’ll always want to wear. T-shirts Come in several colors.

What I’ve Purchased Lately

What I’ve Purchased Lately

 

What I've Purchased Lately

 

Hello pretty Ladies,

Today, I am sharing a few items, “What I’ve purchased lately” Pieces for our home, a couple of Items Cozy items to wear perfect for Spring weather, and a cute Jumpsuit for that upcoming warm-weather vacation. 

I love a little refresh for Spring for our home and my wardrobe. In Utah, it’s still cold until the end of April, and you do need layers, sometimes just light layers. So  I added in a couple of warm and cozy pieces in my favorite neutral shades. I found a cute jumpsuit for Spring break and something I’ll wear all Summer long. I love getting a new pair of house slippers for the season, and I found these cute slippers in white for $12.00. Our home needed a couple of little pieces,s and Spring is the perfect time for a little freshen up. 

  1. Office Lamp= As you know, I moved my home office upstairs, and I have been adding finishing touches to the space. I found this tremendous chic and straightforward lamp that adds the light I need to my desk and the communication of gold and marble base for that stylish feminine touch I am looking for. 
  2. The Perfect Mirror= Something on my Wish list is this Large Anthropology mirror I will get for our new home. Meanwhile, I purchased the small one for my office, and I adore it! Perfect for checking your makeup or those hats I love. 
  3. Candle– Capri Blue Volcano candle is one of my all-time favorite scents. It smells excellent any time of the year. I usually burn them in the Spring and Summer as I like fall and winter scents for those seasons. You will not be disappointed in this long-burning candle. 
  4. Water bottle=The water bottle that keeps you on track hourly. If you had a goal to drink more water this year? This bottle is for you! It fits in your car’s drink holder, is easy to hold, and keeps track of your water hourly. I have loved this water bottle compared to the one I purchased a couple of years ago. 
  5. Turtleneck tunic= A Super soft and lightweight Tunic in Cream and the perfect weight for Spring in Utah. I received one from Avara in Blush in January and loved it so much I purchased it in Cream. 
  6. Jumpsuit= This strapless jumpsuit is flattering and cute for Spring and Summer. I love the crisp white, cropped wide leg and flattering strapless top—a great wide belt to accentuate the waist. 
  7. Slippers= Who doesn’t want new slippers for each season, especially when you can get these cuties for under $12. I purchased it in white.
  8. Cozy Cardigan=, The perfect shade of oatmeal, goes with almost everything and is a much-needed layering piece for Spring. I have worn over my pj’s at home and on travels, thrown on over everyday outfits, and it’s cute over tee shirt dresses and a shirt dress. You’ll love this cozy soft layering piece.
  9. Laundry basket= I finally found a laundry basket that looks beautiful sitting out and has the function I need. You’ll love it too.

Valentines Gifts for Him, Enticing All 5 Senses

Valentines Gifts for Him, Enticing All 5 Senses

Valentines Gifts for Him, Enticing All 5 Senses

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Can you believe January is already more than half over, and Valentine’s day is going to be here before we know it! So I thought it would be helpful to get a couple of gift guides out early to help you get some ideas for your guy. 

Valentines Gifts for Him, Enticing All 5 Senses, Touch, Smell, Sight, Taste, and Hear.

Over the last couple of years, giving a gift that entices all of the 5 senses has been a big trend. So I thought this would be a fun theme for a blog post. Not necessarily to give a gift of each sense, but to create a gift guide theme and have gift ideas for each sense. You could choose to pick something for each sense or one special gift that suits your guy.

Here are some fun themes I  came up with that have the 5 senses of gifts included in the theme gift guide. 

The Homebody, Coffee Lover, Sweet lover, The Cocktail Lover, and The Selfcare lover

Valentines Gifts for Him, Enticing All 5 Senses

 

 

I Asked the Men in my Life some of the things they loved and thought would be fun gifts to get for Valentine’s day, and I threw in a few I thought would be fun to give.  I hope you see something for the Man in your life. Something in every price point as well. 

 

Coffee Lover

 

Sweet lover

 

The Homebody

 

The Cocktail Lover

 

The Selfcare lover
