GIFT GUIDE: LITTLE GIRLS
it's so tempting to buy our kids EVERYTHING for Christmas because it's truly the most wonderful time of the year through the eyes of a child and their excitement is infectious, but when January rolls around and they are 'bored' and there's a zillion cheap toy parts laying around the party is ovah. so our approach is to mix things that are practical {boots/slippers/sports equipment} and/or will truly stand the test of time {books/collectibles} - or just really keep them busy in a positive way. so here we go!
2. CUBEBOT
{i must admit my girls are not too psyched to get clothes as presents these days. they want that shit just to magically appear in the drawers . . . unless . . . it is sparkly!}
4. ICE SKATES
{these are legit on C & P's list to santa}
LOVE the idea of matching jammies to the book!
classic game with a twist. this will inspire family time. HF loves princesses.
7. BOO
C & P have dranken the BOO juice. at least he doesn't take up a lot of room.
these beautiful renditions of the classics are the gifts that will keep on giving.
10. LITTLE YOGA MAT
never too young to teach our girls the importance of a healthy mind & body
love these collectible animals.
these are heinous, obvs, but the girls need their frozen fix and i'd rather have it with something practical then a toy. they are going to go BONKERS over these.
more light-up footwear AND unicorns = happy happy girls.
sorry not sorry - we heart barbie.
15. ACOUSTIC GUITAR
better than a drum set
16. GLX SCOOTER
did my research and "crash" and "booboo" crawford should actually be able to handle these bad boys. in theory.

GIFT GUIDE : DUDES
here's some gift ideas for the men in your life.
*these are all HFA (horseface approved)
except for #10 - he's "not a big frisbee guy" whatever the hell that means
1. Can't go wrong with this cashmere skull cap from mark & graham.
2. These s'well water bottles are the absolute best! I live for mine and now horseface wants his own.
3. This gal likes to get a little sentimental once in awhile. No better time to update the desk pics with this beautiful leather binded frame {free shipping & monogramming!}
4. Dudes love vintage Ts - my dude happens to love the Pats, and cannot get enough of this one.
5. I'm trying to class up man town with this personalized wall-mounted opener. There is no doubt our household will get use out of this. . . a lot.
6. HF has been sweating the GoPro since it came out. This is the latest and greatest model.
7. HF was all fired up for this blutooth compatible Bose speaker. Can't wait to bitch at him for blaring his jam bands everywhere we go. {comes in lots of cool colors}
8. Dudes love bonobos. end of story.
9. In my opinion, we have way too many outerwear/fleeces/jackets/bettersweaters floating around but this one is on his list this year.
10. Said frisbee.
11. Gotta love that Vans are back.
12. I just can't preach enough about FNL. We've obvs already seen it but anyone who hasn't NEEDS to buy this for their dude. It's life-changing and this is a great price for the complete series. BEST. GIFT. EVAH.
13. This Kiehl's gift set is great for any man grooming needs.
14. Apparently bourbon is all the rage. These personalized football lowball glasses are perfect for bourbon consumption during the big game. {LAST DAY TO ORDER IS DECEMBER 10TH, ahem, TODAY}
15. I'm a huge fan of Mantry. Check this awesome gift subscription out for the dude who has everything.

TOP TEN {THURSDAY?} : THANKSGIVING
here's the TOP TEN THINGS I MEANT TO POST ON TOP TEN TUESDAY IN ANTICIPATION OF THANKSGIVING and seeing as I can't get my days straight I'm slightly nervous about pulling this all together. here's what my chaotic brain is telling me is "the plan"
1. PLACE CARDS - As much as I "wish" that I did, I just don't have it in me this year to recreate the DIY wishbones from the glorious SMP living, so i am going to buy a mix of wishbone and feather ornaments to use as napkin holders and place cards. these will also serve as a take home favor for guests to hang on their tree for the holiday season.
2. SERVEWARE - seeing as we just moved, it's tough to find anything when we are actually looking for it. I guarantee the carving set is buried in the furthest part of the garage so I'm tempted to buy a few gold pieces that i've been wanting anyway and using the move as an excuse. {for the thousandth time}
3. TABLE SETTING - Love the chalkboard table runner. Going to grab one for the kids table, too. And the gold confetti place mats are festive and disposable and will be the perfect backdrop for our china. I need a bit of color and these serena & lily napkins are just the soft hues I am looking for {and on sale!} also i'm obsessed with anything velvet, so warm and inviting so will be using velvet ribbon wherever i see fit.
4. COCKTAILS - obviously my favorite part of Thanksgiving is drinking spending time with loved ones. Going to whip up these two festive cocktails this year while I let everyone else stress over the meal.
5. CENTERPIECES - I'm not messing around with anything here. headed straight to the profesh. sending these images to my dear flores mantilla and having her work her magic. it's such a bountiful and beautiful time of year and I love the beauty and warmth of these arrangements.
6. FROMAGE - again, while I let everyone else sweat the meal, I will be picking out some of my fave American cheeses to nibble on while drinking spending time with loved ones. If you aren't lucky enough to have a fabulous local cheese monger like Dougie at Shubie's you can still order the bestest Cypress Grove Humboldt Fog. delish.
7. CANDLELIGHT- is the key to warm and inviting table! I love the mix of soft color and golds and always have my ana's striped tapers on hand.
8. MY OUTFIT - will feature elasticized waist pants, most likely in the form of fleece leggings and a super cozy relaxed sweater and my minnetonka boots. It's all about being comphy and cozy on turkey day. I won't even have to unbutton my pantelones when the tryptophan - cocktail combo catches up with me. This ensemble is perfect for a quick snooze on the couch during whatever that game is that everyone watches on TV on Thanksgiving
9. MY GIRLS' OUTFITS- want them to be cozy and comphy but also look adorbs. {no effing elsa nightgowns!}
love these from crewcuts. and the glitter moccasins are amaze.
10. I WILL NOT forget the most important thing to do on THANKSGIVING.
so so SO much to be thankful for.
