Turn on the Christmas movies , we will be going back and forth with the Hallmark Christmas movies and Freeform, and put some cookies in the oven because it’s time to enjoy the most wonderful time of the year! I wanted to put together a gift guide that is a little more realistic with what this year looks like. Jake and I have already decided to keep it small this year and just buy things for each other that we know will bring each other joy. 2020 has taught me a lot and shifted my focus on what I really need. Turns out I have used that throw blanket from Target way more than that expensive handbag. I want my gift giving to reflect that and give presents that will bring joy and people can use right away. Also these gifts are easy to add to cart and ship directly to your friends and family.

Swell Water Bottle // When we were driving back from North Carolina in September I filled up my Swell in the morning and it was still ice cold hours later! Jake was in shock and immediately asked for one for Christmas.

FOR US

Crockpot // It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Uber Eats Gift Card // We like to order in once a week and it would be nice gift to pay for an order (or more) in advance.
Dyson Cordless Vacuum // Jake doesn’t believe in gifting home appliances but honestly its all I want! It would be a great gift to split for the home while taking advantage of holiday sales.
New Bedding // We already decided that Jake will buy us new bedding for our bedroom since we are still using a duvet cover from my old bed that doesn’t fit our bed. I ordered us some Christmas bedding because once again, my old Christmas bedding is too small for our new bed.

FOR DAD
Keurig // After living with my parents for the summer, I could tell that it was time for their Keurig to be replaced! It’s something they will never do for themselves so I plan on sending them a new one.
Air Fryer // It’s the one gadget they probably don’t have! My mom asked me not to get it for my dad because they have no room so maybe next year 😉
Lounge Pants // All my dad asked for this year was comfortable lounge pants because no one wants to wear jeans these days.
