Gift Guide for the Teachers

Happy Friday! This teacher is some kind of tired. During December teachers get a little more frazzled than usual as we deal with tests, getting grades in before report cards in the new year, and also all that excitement of Santa and the time we’re all about to have off. I’ve got four more days with students! I think I can. I think I can.  Teachers, you feel me, right?

If you’ve got kids, chances are you’ve got a teacher you’re thinking of buying a gift for. I decided to put together a few ideas for you, and I’m being super honest about those gift cards for number five. Some of these items you can also get locally so shop small.

Hostess Gift Guide

Today is actually a 3-in-1 gift guide!

A lot of times we have to go to a Christmas dinner party, but we also have fun gift exchange parties or game-themed parties that we can take the kiddos to, and then there’s the kind of guest that has to stay overnight. I decided to put together three mini gift guides for each kind of guest to give to their host/hostess. You’re getting all three of them in this one post! Continue reading “Hostess Gift Guide”

Local Shops Gift Guide

Happy Hump Day, folks!

I’m so excited about today’s blog post! I’ve partnered up with some of the local shops in and around Greenville. Here’s how it goes as the layout is a bit different: I’ve picked something from each store that I recommend and the shop owners have picked a favorite, too. I can’t wait for you to read and then go shopping! You’re also going to want to read all the way through to the end because there may be some special deals for you readers.

Stocking Stuffers Gift Guide

Stockings are so tricky. We have rather large ones, so we can really load them up and spend a good amount of money on what goes in them. Growing up, they were smaller. Santa still managed to fill them with all kinds of goodies, though. I’ve put together ten things that are perfect for stockings and won’t break the bank. Continue reading “Stocking Stuffers Gift Guide”

The Homebody’s Gift Guide

The homebody. We all know one. I’m a self-proclaimed homebody. I’ve tried to be better at being social, but there’s nothing quite like coming home and totally relaxing in the place you call home. I think that’s one of the reasons I like working on my apartment and turning it into a home I love. Home is where the heart is and all those other cliches.

If you know someone like that or if you are someone like that, then today’s gift guide is going to be perfect for you. Continue reading “The Homebody’s Gift Guide”

Cozy Gift Guide

Day two of gift guides is here!

Today is all about that cozy life. One of my favorite things about colder weather is bundling up to get warm. Coats and scarves are some of my favorite accessories, and I’ve got those two things and more here for you. Add these gift ideas to your own wish list or assign one to your coziest bestie.

Currently Loving November 2018

At the beginning of the week I mentioned on Instagram that I have been in a bit of a creative rut. I guess life and work got busy, and I didn’t have any energy left over for much blog fun. I think I needed the week off for Thanksgiving to get my wheels turning. Thankfully, I’m feeling creative now and have several things planned for the blog this coming month. But we’ll start off with a regular type of post today. Let me tell you about my favorite things from the month of November.  Continue reading “Currently Loving November 2018”
