for baby
A new baby this year is the gift that keeps on giving! It’s likely that the sweet babe you are buying for just had a baby shower or a 1st Birthday, so we suggest skipping the clothing and toy purchases- they have received an abundance of these things already. Babies who are a little older are simply happy being with the people who love them most. So instead, how about showering babies with things that will bless the parents? After the big one year mark, gift-giving diminishes greatly and parents appreciate the thoughtfulness!
Our gift suggestions below offer some big-ticket items parents usually purchase, along with some well-loved products that need replacing as baby grows.

toddlers & kids
Shopping for toddlers and young children is what the season is all about- gift wise. IT’S SO MUCH FUN! The magic of the holidays is palpable and contagious with kiddos. We love gifts for this age that encourage imagination and play. Toys are fun, and we threw some into our list. But Santa is usually all over the toy department. So if you are looking for a present that will be cherished by the whole family, then you won’t go wrong with the gift of experiences!

for him
Our gift ideas for the man in your life comes from a place of appreciating new dads- but they can be given to anyone without kids, too! Becoming a new dad isn’t easy- and many times the dads get lost in the shuffle. We see this often in our line of work, so here’s to the gift of a little self-care and appreciation for your special guy!
for teen girls
Shopping for teenage girls is so much fun, especially when you know the teen well. Shopping for a teen in your life you don’t know well can feel overwhelming since they are known for being a little on the picky side. Hey- a girl knows what she wants and likes! Our gift guide here will promise to please every teenage girl on your list.
for teen boys
Society tends to give teen boys a bad rap. We can say the young men in our lives are pretty incredible people, and we LOVE picking out presents that will bring them joy. Now the thing with this age bracket is that most of the things they want are on the pricey side. Teenage boys truly love the quality vs. quantity when it comes to the gifts they receive- they know how much things cost! And teen boys can’t get enough of gift cards so don’t be shy about stuffing their stockings with their favorites!
gifts under $30
We all have special people in our lives we love dearly, and it’s important for us to show them just how much this time of year. There are high-quality gifts out there that won’t break the bank...and these are some of our favorites!
For us, the holidays are the most wonderful time of the year. And if you know us personally, you know how savvy we are when it comes to shopping. We encourage you to not break the bank- and only purchase within your budget. Focus on spending time with your family and loved ones first- since that’s what it’s really about.
From our families to yours…Happy Holidays.
