✨ MUST-HAVE MONDAY: REUSABLE STRAWS✨

Today’s Must-Have Monday is an environmentally friendly one! Today we’re talking about reusable straws! Both of us use reusable straws and we LOVE them. They help to reduce staining on your teeth from coffee and soda (and even ? !) and don’t need to be thrown away after every use. Brianna especially loves her reusable straws because they help keep her teeth implants in great condition ☺️

Gift Guide For Those Who Don’t Want ‘Stuff’

Some people just don’t like receiving material things as gifts – and if you’re trying to find the perfect gift from someone like that in your life we’ve got you covered! Brianna (who travels a lot and lives a fairly minimalist life as a result) has put together the PREFECT Gift Guide full of mostly non-material gifts, or gifts that the receiver won’t be stuck with for an extended length of time. These are perfect for travelers or those living in close-quarters with limited storage space. Or considering gifting one of these ideas to your friend who’s Love Language is Quality Time!

  • Consider gifting food, such as holiday sweets, or a wine you picked up at a vineyard. Turn your gift into memories by enjoying the delicious treats together! Check out Harry & David for food gift basket ideas!
  • Look into ways to just spend time together, maybe at a restaurant you’ve both been interested in trying. Or consider picking up tickets to a live show you can enjoy together. Check out Tickemaster or Stub Hub; don’t forget to maintain safe social distancing! Outdoor events will probably be your best bet, even if that means you have to wait until the warmer months.
  • Consider pampering your friend via a spa or nail salon day. We both recommend checking out your local Massage Envy or Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa. Of course, we recommend checking out local spas and nail salons for holiday specials as well!
  • Regardless of the stigma, gift cards are a great gift! They’re versatile, lightweight and small, and you can guarantee the person you’re gifting them too will be happy with whatever purchase they put the gift card towards. Plus, many gift cards can be bought and shared virtually, like Starbucks and Amazon, which is perfect for those of you will not be traveling to see family/friends this holiday season.
  • If you really know someone who truly has it all, or is adamant that they don’t want any gifts, ask them if you can instead donate to a charity of their choosing on their behalf! This is a great way to pay it forward and helping ensure EVERYONE has a happy holiday season, including those you may not know! Not sure which charity to donate to? Check out Charity Navigator, ‘the world’s largest and most-utilized independent nonprofit evaluator’ to find the perfect place to donate too.

Hopefully this has expanded your gift-giving horizons! Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Small Business Gift Guide

If you’ve been with us a while, you know we love to support a small business. Even though many items may be a bit more expensive at a local shop, we would rather pay the premium to invest in the people and places in local communities. That is why we do our best to highlight some small businesses on our Instagram throughout the year.

As #smallbusinesssaturday is upon us, we decided to compile some great gift ideas from our favorite shops, in hopes that you too can try out these stores and support local men and women creators and entrepreneurs. Plus, all of these ideas are under $50, so you can stay on budget! Take a look at our suggestions below!

Black Friday Gift Guide

One of the things we LOVE the most is finding the perfect gift for someone. There is nothing better than seeing their face light up with they receive something personal to them, or something they dropped hints on for months and months.

While we wish we had a disposable income just so we could give our friends and family the world, we do our best to find some gifts that meet a need but don’t break the bank. That is why we decided to put together some gift guides for you all to use!

Over the next few weeks, expect to see some gift guides tailored to specific people, national shopping days, personality types and more. We have done our best to be thoughtful in curating these guides for you to use, all within a relatively normal gifting budget.

Our first guide is comprised of ALL the best Black Friday Deals. Yes – we looked through tons of circulars to find you the most bang for your buck – you’re welcome! Here you will find gifts for EVERYONE on your list, most of which are normally big ticket items for a decent price. Shop the links below to help us out (it cost’s you nothing but we get a little something back) and start crossing gifts off that list of yours!
