What I Gifted This Holiday Season

January 6, 2020 · In: Gift Guides

I did one of these posts for 2018’s holiday season, and I really wanted to write another one this year! Maybe it will inspire your gift giving for 2020, or maybe you’re just curious like myself haha.

Like last year, I’m just going to be doing my top 5 gifts I gave. This should go without saying, but this isn’t meant to brag in any way, and I am blessed that we were able to give some great gifts this holiday season. Let’s get into it!

Johnston & Murphy Howell Shoes

This was Grant’s “big gift” from me this year. He really wanted (and needed) a new pair of dress shoes, preferably a pair he could dress up or down. He actually picked them out himself, so it wasn’t a huge surprise, but I know he loves them.

Custom Boat Oar

This was one of our gifts to my Dad. They custom make these at The Boathouse at Disney Springs. There are tons of designs, colors, and fonts to choose from. My Dad loves anything nautical or customized, so this was right up his alley. We got the diver’s mask to represent our Greek heritage (sponge diving is a popular profession amongst Greek people). Sorry for the poor iPhone quality picture; I took this when I got it made and had no intention of posting it.

Melissa & Doug Diner

This was my almost 2-year-old nephew Percy’s gift. Not gonna lie, this thing is super cool! The front is a diner booth and the back has a kitchen, complete with a milkshake mixer and cabinets. It also came with tons of accessories like menus, food, money, and even a white board check. He has had so much fun with it (my butt still hurts from him making me squeeze into a booth lol). Definitely something he can play with for years to come!

PBTeen Ravenclaw Blanket

We got this blanket for Grant’s sister, Karli. Grant’s family are big Harry Potter fans, and when we saw the collections at Pottery Barn we knew we had to get something for someone! I love the fact that it is knitted as well. Pottery Barn did a great job on this collection and made it look classy instead of tacky.

Winter Brews 9-Pack

So my brother-in-law is super passionate about alcohol lol. But for real, he has all of these social apps about beer or whiskey, he’s in FB groups… it’s intense. We got him some items from World Market for Christmas, including this Winter Brews 9-pack. This isn’t sold online, but you can do a store search. They also had one with beers from around the world and another that was all Florida beers. He really loved it!

I really loved all of the gifts we gifted this year! We got my Mom and sister some Lilly, and Grant’s Dad received a Mickey Tommy Bahama shirt (he only wears Hawaiian print shirts), just to name a few more. I love finding the perfect gift for someone and seeing their reaction when they open it.

Cheers!

xoxo

Ready for our October Baby🎀👶🏻🎃 While I Ready for our October Baby🎀👶🏻🎃 While I’m not quite ready for a whole nursery reveal/tour - here’s some snaps of some details📸

Loving this bookshelf with all the trinkets we collected throughout our TTC journey from the past 3 years as well as our first pregnancy and this current one👼🏼🌈 

Had to add some pumpkins as decor for this month - obsessed with the custom one from @sarahslusherdesigns and the jack-o-lantern is @jellycat 🫶🏼

#nurseryinspo #babygirl #octoberbaby 

I ordered this pillow from @shoprooneyhome and I’m obsessed!💕 Beautiful quality and so many fabric and embroidery choices. My cousin (who was born only a few months after me) knitted us the sweetest blanket - something we’ll treasure forever🫶🏼 

I love the way the curtains look with the wallpaper🌸 This little stool is a Homegoods find from a while ago - and I never knew where I’d use it so I’m glad it found a home! Obsessed with our diaper bag that still needs packed😅

This needlepoint canvas from @lepointstudio was a labor of love for our girl - and I’m so happy with how it turned out💕 As you may be able to tell she already has a fully stocked @jellycat collection😅 The little brass bear piggy bank I found at an antique shop - I found the same one on Etsy that I linked on my LTK👏🏼

The chicest diaper changing station you’ll ever see🎀 We found the trinket box and tray while visiting family friends in NC at a secondhand store. They look absolutely perfect in the room🫶🏼 The bow cup is a surprising Target find - and I’ll always buy a cute cordless lamp, this one being from Homegoods💡

Our Blair Elizabeth💕 Her first name comes from Our Blair Elizabeth💕
Her first name comes from Disney Legend Mary Blair, one of Disney’s first female concept artists🎨 She worked on films such as Cinderella, Peter Pan, and Alice in Wonderland✨ After a break with Disney to focus on her own fine art, she returned when Walt gave her free reign of a ride being built for the 1964 World’s Fair - It’s A Small World🌎

Blair and I will share the middle name Elizabeth - that I also share with my older sister. Given to both of us after our paternal Grandmother💕

We can’t wait to meet her soon!🌈
