My Top Gift Picks For 2018

It's that time of year again for holiday cheer, decor and of course gift giving. I love the holidays because I enjoy just being with my family and giving them something special. Now I know we get caught up in gift giving and all the twinkling lights, but I feel gifts that remind you and others just how special they are is the best kind of gift. I like to think of things that the person enjoys and really make it about them. Here are some ideas for gifts that will be enjoyed by the ones you love.

Subscription Boxes

First idea I thought of is subscription box services. These are such a fun gift idea because they get items all year round! My favorite is Fabfitfun. This box contains so many cute things from makeup to home decor and jewelry. It comes every quarter, so four times a year. There are also beauty boxes for the makeup lover and socks subscriptions for the man in your life (aka my husband) who can't live without whimsical socks.

Food Lover

Do they love food?  Then maybe having them try a service like Hello Fresh or Blue Apron is an ideal gift! These services deliver meals to be prepared right to your door. They include recipe cards and all the food needed, except butter and oil. Such an easy way to learn new recipes and feed your herd through the week.

Yogi's

For the Yoga lover in your life you can't go wrong with a nice yoga mat and bag. You can also get these personalized, just like these cute ones on Etsy. Also check out this cute essential oil case that makes organization a breeze. I got this for my yoga instructor and she said "It's one of the best gifts she has received."










Me time

These are gifts that will encourage more relaxation for the ones you love. These would include scented candles, comfy blankets and throws. Below are a few of my favorite items from target!

Men

I always think the best gifts for men other than electronics is taking them to do something they love. Like a sporting event or concert. Maybe taking them skiing or just getting away for a weekend. However, you can go never wrong with some fun Tech gadgets too, like google home and wireless headphones. You also don't have to go with name brands.

Traveler

New luggage is always a good gift but can get pretty pricey. Why not try some neat but practical travel accessories? This stow and go luggage system is life changing! It made it so easy to pack items for my trip. My son and I share a suitcase and this kept our items neat and organized. I also recommend this draw string makeup bag. It makes it easy to see all of your makeup items and then you can clean up with ease and put it out of the way. This is perfect for hotel bathrooms that have little counter space.





Jewelry lover!

You can't go wrong with fun costume jewelry from Kate Spade New York and Kendra Scott. High quality, great price point and they have beautiful packaging. So make sure to get them gift wrapped!

Hope this gives you some ideas to aid you in your gift giving. My favorite part about the holidays are the traditions that you get to do every year and the new ones you make. I love that we put the tree up the Sunday after thanksgiving. We play Christmas carols and we reminisce about all the places we have traveled! We like to get ornaments on vacation. What are some of your favorite holiday traditions? I think it's important not to lose ourselves in the holidays, but instead try to find ourselves among the ones we love.
