It is my first holiday gift guide of 2021! I know it is only October but considering your replies from my Instagram stories, most of you are kick-starting your holiday shopping this month. And I’m not going to lie, I’m kinda freaking out hearing all of the rumors about more than normal shipping delays, price increases, etc. So I figured, it’s better to put these out too early than too late.

I did take into consideration your replies from my questions to you all on Instagram. That being said, keep an eye out for gift guides requested by you later on; a small business gift guide, in-laws gift guide, gifts for him, and more! But for today, we’re starting with gifts geared toward the ladies – broken up into smaller categories for different interests and gift types. Enjoy!

Last week I published a post about 10 advent calendars for adults that you can find this year. Today I am sharing some of my favorite holiday advent calendars for kids!

Obviously, it is more traditional for a child to get an advent calendar, but for this post, I wanted to find some that weren’t just chocolate or LEGO. Let’s find something more unique!

So many of my friends, peers, and followers are engaged/getting married within the next two years. It is such an exciting time! Today I wanted to help some of you who may be thinking about starting to make their wedding registry – or it may even help those of you attending wedding and bridal showers as guests choose what to give to the couple.

Cookie-cutter lists of things to add to a registry are somewhat useless. So many people are at so many different stages in their life when getting married, and each couple’s lifestyle may require different tools. Some people may be home owners, while others rent, and some live with extended family. Some couples may have kids, some may have animals, etc. So today, I’m going to share with you five things we use regularly that we received over the past year as bridal shower and/or wedding gifts – and no, money/gift cards isn’t one of them (but of course they are appreciated and go to good use).

I know, I know – it is only September! But hear me out, the holidays will be here before we know it. Additionally, I think we could all use a head start on holiday shopping. It’s better than scrambling to get everything at once and finding that the “hot item” of the season is sold out!

I’ve done this post in the past and it has always been a big hit. So I hope you enjoy this year’s finds. Who says advent calendars are just for the kids? Don’t forget to shop sooner rather than later – these will sell fast!

It is no secret that everyone has had a rough year, and student in particular have been through a number of tough changes. Christmas definitely seems like the light at the end of the tunnel for 2020. Today I am going to be sharing some of my favorite gifts for students – of the late high school or college age.

If none of these gifts resonate, cash is always a good option 😉
