Valentine's Day Gifts

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, although I still feel like it was just Christmas. The new year has truly flown by.

I just love Valentine's Day gifts. They are just too fun. All the pink, red and hearts is just too fun to resist. It's such a fun girly holiday.

Here are a few of my favorites:

 

What are your Valentine's Day gift favorites?

Father's Day Gift Guide

FYI - Father's Day is in just over one week!  So don't forget dear 'ole dad.  I always have a hard time picking out just the right thing for my dad.  He buys just about everything he ever needs or wants for himself, so it's hard to buy him gifts.

I decided to put together a few things that dads might enjoy at a variety of price points.



What are you getting for dad this Father's Day?

6 Graduation Gift Guides


It has been a year and a half since I graduated college and six years since I graduated high school.  It is amazing how quickly time flies.  Searching for the perfect graduation gift can be tricky.  For high school graduation I got tons and tons of gift cards, jewelry and a bunch of UF or orange and blue things.  It's always safe to buy a soon-to-be college freshmen anything in their college's colors.  Anything to decorate their dorm room or apartment is a safe bet also.  My favorite high school graduation gift was a mini tool set.  I used it all throughout college.  Boy did it come in handy!

Check out these 6 graduation gift guides: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

What is your favorite go-to grad gift?

6 Monthly Box Subscriptions That Make Great Gifts

Whether you want to pamper yourself or a friend, monthly box subscriptions are a great way to give a gift that keeps on giving.  

(1) Umba Box | A fun assortment of handmade goods, the Umba Box can be shipped to your door for less than $30 a month.  The Umba Box contains one stand out item each month, such as a handmade colorblock clutch from Velle Purse and sometimes, if your lucky, a few standout items.  You can choose a variety of subscriptions - 3-month & month-to-month subscriptions for $25 each (plus $5 shipping); 6-month subscriptions $25 each (shipping free); 12-month subscription $23 each (shipping free).

(2) Love With Food | Love With Food fills your mailbox with hard-to-find gourmet goodies packed in themed boxes.  But they also have a larger mission, to fill food banks across the country with meals for those in need... who doesn't want to contribute to that & get yummy treats shipped to your doorstep?  Each subscription is $10 per month for 3-month plans (shipping $2), 6-month plans (shipping $1), or 12-month plans (free shipping).

(3) Birch Box | A very popular box is Birch Box.  It is one of the less expensive, yet still very fun boxes!  Since it is only $10 a month it can be hit-or-miss, they claim to give you deluxe samples, but sometimes you may only get foil packet samples.

(4) Craft Coffee | If you're looking for a gift for your favorite coffee lover, a Craft Coffee subscription is the perfect happy surprise in their mailbox.  It will be an instant pick-me-up!  With monthly coffee samples from micro-roasters & boutique coffee companies such as Portland's Coava Coffee Roasters, Miami's Panther Coffee, and others this box is fabulous for any caffeine addict.  A Craft Coffee subscription is $25 per month for a 3-month subscription, $22.50 per month for 6-months, & $20 per month for annual plans; shipping is free!

(5) Bark Box | Pet lovers rejoice!  There is a box for you too.  The Bark Box allows you to spoil your pooch while you help save another.  Bark Box donates 10% off all their sales to local animal reuse facilities.  Each box contains at least four items for your pup and can be anything from food samples to shampoos and leashes.  The items are usually from small businesses that cannot be found in big name pet stores.  You can pamper your pooch for $25 a month (free shipping!).

(6) Julep Maven | If you love having perfectly polished nails, Julep Maven is the subscription for you.  Each month a new collection of colors & nail treatments will be shipped to your door.  A single bottle of Julep Maven polish retails for $14, but you can get a whole collection at your door for $20.  However, if you tend to stick to the same colors all the time, this is not the box for you.

Have you tried any fun box subscriptions?

Father's Day Gifts.

Father's Day is in one week.  I always find it hard to find the perfect gift for my Dad... He tends to get anything he wants or needs for himself, making it hard to buy him gifts. 

I've searched and found some options that I think Dad's will love.

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

What are you doing for Father's Day?

High Cotton Ties

 

I love these High Cotton ties.  They are a great graduation or groomsman gift... plus they are adorable and super-duper preppy! How can you not love them?!

The products are hand made in North Carolina, which is great because you know you're buying an American made product!






High Cotton carries a wide range of bow ties as well as cummerbunds, headbands, and tees.  They also have a college collection.



Check out your local High Cotton supplier here.

Mother's Day Gifts.

It's almost Mother's Day and that means it's time to start thinking about what to buy your fabulous Mom.  I always have trouble finding the perfect Mother's Day gift.  When I was younger I would sometimes make a gift or my Dad would simply buy her a gift and put my name on it.  But, now that I am old enough to do my own shopping, I must search for a gift that my Mom will love and that I can afford. 

Sometimes, it's hard to pick out clothes or shoes for someone else without knowing if it will work or not.  But, if you know that your Mom wears the same size in a specific item, then you can be pretty sure that your gift will work.  If you aren't sure about what size to get (or if your Mom wears different sizes depending on the item), then I would recommend getting an accessory item like jewelry or a handbag

Here are a few ideas for dear 'ole Mom.

Graduation Gifts.

I cannot believe so many of my friends are graduating in less than a month.  It's so insane!  I feel like I'm still seventeen sometimes.  When did we get so old?  Old enough to have lives and jobs and get married... EEEK!  It's not possible!  I am so glad that I have an extra semester before the "real" world.

It has been four years since I was getting high school graduation presents and I cannot believe how quickly time has flown by.  It seems like yesterday.

Here are a few ideas for high school graduation presents.


1. Umbrella
It seems silly, but an umbrella is an essential for every college student.  At most universities students have to walk a pretty good distance so it is very important to have a good umbrella.  It's also nice to have a cute one.  Old Navy, Lilly Pulitzer, Vera Bradley and Urban Outfitters all have great (and adorable) umbrellas.

2. Vineyard Vines College Tote
It's always great to get college themed gifts for high school graduation.  Graduates are very excited about the next phase of their lives and get very excited about anything in their college colors or with their university logo or mascot on it.  I got a lot of orange and blue and Gator themed gifts for high school graduation and I still use them all today.

3. Kate Spade Spreading Good Cheer Letterpress Cards
Note cards are always a great gift for just about any occasion.  People always need to write thank you notes or letters to friends.  Note cards always come in handy and a new graduate can never have enough note cards.

4. Lacoste Monogrammed towels
Monogrammed towels are a great gift.  I got some for graduation and I still love them.  They are adorable and add a touch of style to what is typically a boring item.  They are also great for anyone who will be sharing a bathroom, so they won't get their towels mixed up with another persons.

What is the best gift you got for high school graduation?

Gift Guide :: Valentines Day

Valentine's Day is such a fun holiday.  Although I am not at all the mushy lovey-dovey kinda girl, I still love the fun decorations and cute items in all the stores.  I know Valentine's Day is a big day for all the couples out there, but that doesn't mean the single ladies (and gents) have to feel left out.  If you don't have a special someone to buy you a gift buy one for yourself or get together with one of your single friends and plan something fun to do.  Just because you're not in a serious relationship doesn't mean you can't enjoy the spirit of the holiday. 

Whether you are looking for a gift for that special someone or are just looking to treat yourself here are a few ideas for the big day.
