2021: Holiday Gift Guides!

Y’all! I’m so excited to share with you my first ever set of HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDES. I’ve been wanting to do this for several years now…but it’s honestly probably best I waited ‘til now because I’ve built up so many ideas over the last couple years!

Almost all items on here are things we especially LOVE. Things we have either bought ourselves, been graciously given and adore OR have given to others!

I’ve always enjoyed looking at other people’s gift guides, to get ideas and spark inspiration. I’m hoping these might just help you, too!


There’s 9 categories:

  1. A Few of my Favorite Things (Ashley’s Faves)

  2. Great Items for Guys (Justin’s Faves)

  3. For the DOG Lover (Manny’s Faves)

  4. For the World TRAVELER

  5. For the Runner

  6. For the KIDDOS

  7. FUN + GAMES

  8. The Greatest GADGETS

  9. For that “Hard to Shop For” Person OR the Ultimate WHITE ELEPHANT Gift!


I plan to make a Vlog to go into more detail on a bunch of items, but wanted to release the links ASAP in case there’s any good Black Friday / Small Business Saturday / Cyber Monday deals.

ENJOY! Happy Shopping!!
