Men’s Holiday Gift Guide

I think every woman can agree that shopping for men can be HARD! Luckily over the past 10 years Ben & I have been married, I’ve really gotten to learn his likes & dislikes when it comes to gifting. Men are so basic! They don’t need much. Which can be both a good & bad thing! This year, I feel like I got a really good grip on presents for Ben and I hope this gift guide can help you find that perfect gift for your husband, father, boyfriend or brother!

Ok, I am so excited to give Ben this BREVILLE PIZZA MAKER for Christmas! I’ve heard such great things about them. We have some friends who have one and they LOVE it. It would be so fun for Sunday dinners or family campouts!

I‘ve had my eye on this LEVI’S SHERPA JACKET. Ben has mentioned he likes it and it’s a great gift that can go with any man’s style!

These WIRELESS PHONE CHARGING PADS are so cool! Another bonus is that they’re only $10. Perfect for all the men in your life & a great stocking stuffer!

We LOVE our AMAZON FIRESTICK! I love that it’s only $35! It connects your TV to your Amazon account so you can watch all your favorite movies and shows on Amazon Prime. This is something any guy would love!

If you’re looking for a big splurge for Christmas this year, these TRAEGER GRILLS are amazing! We had our Thanksgiving turkey in it and it was soooo good.

I think this GOODFELLOW & CO OVERCOAT from Target is so handsome! The camel color is so good and Ben tried it on the last time we were at Target and couldn’t stop raving about it.

This WHITE LEATHER BASKETBALL HOOP from CB2 is so cool! Any man would love this for his garage or office.

Ben (and I) could never have enough of these CARHARTT BEANIES! They come in so many great color options and are only $15 on Amazon. The best basic beanies for sure.

Have you guys seen these MANSCAPER HAIR TRIMMER on Shark Tank? They’re so cool and they’re marketing cracks me up. Only $60!

DICKIES PANTS take up over half of Ben’s pants in his closet! He loves them and they’re such a great fit and timeless style for men.

Ben would be so excited about this LEATHER PUNCHING BAG for our garage (and so would I). I can just imagine us going out there after getting the kids down and taking turns working out together. It would be hilarious and so fun!

I already know Ben would love these LULULEMON SWEAT JOGGERS! I felt them in person the other day and they’re SO cozy!

These VONT LED LANTERNS are great gifts for any campers out there. This 4-pack is only $30!

This BUTTON DOWN SHIRT is only $30! Such a great basic top for men!

Ben has this DEWALT DRILL SET and loves it. It’s so handy for guys to keep in the garage or in their cars! Only $180 from Home Depot!

These CARHARTT LONG SLEEVE TEES are $20 & great basic tees for men. So many great color options! They make great layering pieces for the winter as well.

Ben LOVES any gifts for camping! These GRAY CAMPING SPORKS are so cool & cheap! Perfect for stockings.

We take our COLEMAN GAS STOVE with us every time we go camping. Ben loves using it in the mornings to make pancakes & bacon for everyone!

ENO HAMMOCKS make the best gifts for men of any age! Even for kids! We have a few of these and love using them to sit in or sleep in. Ben only uses his hammock to sleep when he goes camping on his own.

I’m so excited I found these UNIVERSAL ADAPTERS for traveling! Ben travels for work all the time so these are the perfect gift!

This HERSCHEL DUFFLE is under $100! Ben has one and loves it! You can also get a matching HERSCHEL TOILETRY CASE to go with it!

This SONICARE TOOTHBRUSH is awesome! Men can always use a new toothbrush to keep them smelling nice & clean!

This INCASE PHONE CASE for iPhones is something anyone would love! I think this subtle grey color is the best. Under $50!

Ben would die if I got him a pair of these UGG SLIPPERS for Christmas! He loves anything cozy. Especially when he’s working from home, he would love to wear these around.

These NINTENDO SWITCHES are SO much fun! We played them at a friend’s house and Ben and the kids had a blast. This is another splurge but so fun for the whole family!

I can’t tell you how much Ben loves his YETI COOLER. He has it permanently stationed in his van so that any time he needs a drink, they’re cold and ready to go. It cracks me up! They’re so worth the investment and great for camping, hunting, road trips or beach days! 

This 6-PERSON TENT is so awesome! Having a tent to fit everyone in the family comfortably is a game changer.

Love this LEGENDARY MEN’S FLANNEL! All of the color options are perfect.

Ben uses his YETI TUMBLER 24/7 and loves it. This 30 oz. stainless steel one is only $35!

You can never go wrong with gifting a pair of VANS to any guy! These are the best go-to sneakers for men, women & kids! Ben loves them.

If you have a man in your life prone to losing things, you NEED to get them these TILE KEY FINDERS! They’re so great for helping you find your keys, wallet & phone! 

Ben loves his music so any great SONOS SPEAKER he can take around with him is a great gift! Sonos makes the best portable bluetooth speakers.

Boys + Girls Holiday Gift Guide

GIRLSBOYSGG (1)

Shopping for my kiddos has to be my favorite. There are SO many kid-centered brands & stores that make Christmas shopping so easy, yet so hard! I want to get them everything! I try & get my kids a good mix of gifts for Christmas. I always buy them a few outfits & some toys that they’ve been wanting as well!

I have these AVAUMA PAJAMAS for Ruck but now I want a pair in every color!  They have so many good options for both girls and boys and the quality is incredible.  The best part is that the sizes range from baby to girls/boys sizes. 

This set of WOODEN EGGS is adorable.  Milo & Ruckus love playing ‘restaurant’, so I’m excited to add it to their collection of play food.

I swear there is nothing cuter in the world than this TOOTH TENT from Anthropologie.  They put their lost tooth in it for the tooth fairy and I love that it makes the tooth fairies job SO MUCH EASIER.  I’m also a sucker for anything creative like this.

Milo takes this ABDTECH KIDS CAMERA everywhere we go.  She takes after her parents for sure!  This is the perfect digital camera for your kid’s because it’s easy to use and they can just click away.  It’s so fun to see the world through their eyes!

Obsessed with the floral print of these AVAUMA PAJAMAS that I’m going to get for Milo.  Now I just need to figure out how to get them to make a pair in my size!

Milo has these FLOWER SUNNIES and won’t leave the house without them.  I can’t blame her, they’re so good.

I can’t believe the deal Amazon has for these KID’S FIRE TABLETS!  2 for $150!  My kids love taking these on flights & road trips & I love them as much as they do on flights and road trips.  My kids don’t make a peep and there are so many fun learning and creative games for them to play.

I cannot believe that I found the same exact DOLLHOUSE that Milo has on Amazon!  This dollhouse is a fun craft to do with your kids.  Milo and I have had so much fun revamping it. We painted it but I actually really like the look of the natural wood.  We also added new wallpaper (scrapbook paper) and flooring (popsicle sticks).

I would definitely get this OLLI ELLA DOLLHOUSE FURNITURE SET to go along with the dollhouse mentioned above!  How cute are the details? The rug?! So good.

Milo is obsessed with anything that has to do with animals & I already know how much she will adore this OWLEEZ INTERACTIVE PET.  She’s been eyeing them at Target and I’m excited to get her one for Christmas.

There is no cuter stuffed animal on the planet than CUDDLE + KIND. How cute are these rainbow unicorns?!  They have so many great options but this Unicorn has been Milo’s favorite.

Dying over this DYSON CORDLESS KIDS’ VACUUM!  It’s so cute!  I am all for the kids mimicking what I do, as long as it includes cleaning!  I think they’d have a riot with this.

I’ve never seen a more beautiful PLAY KITCHEN in my life!  The color scheme is so perfect and simple.  My kids would die for this.

Camping runs in my family’s veins so I know how much fun my kids would have with this adorable MINI CAMPER PLAYHOUSE!  

Everything made by Melissa & Doug is so cute.  I’m thinking of adding this WOODEN FOOD PLAY SET to my kid’s play food collection as well!  These ones are fun because they can be diced.

Milo has a few of these MICE IN A BOX and they’re so adorable!  She loves playing with them in her dollhouse.

This DOLLHOUSE is another great gift idea for your littles!  I love how it latches shut & has a handle. So precious.

This ROCKET TOY SET is one of my favorite finds for Ruckus!  I can see his imagination going while he plays with this.

This STUFFED OCTOPUS is just so cute.  It would look so good propped right on the kids beds or on their dresser.  It has the perfect pop of color!

Ruckus would be over the moon about this DINOSAUR NIGHT LIGHT!  He’s alllll boy for sure and he’s at that age now where he wants just a bit of light when he goes to bed.

Milo and Ruckus could play on these SCOOTERS all day if I’d let them!  They have so much fun on them.  By far my best purchase yet!

Here’s that same SCOOTER in pink!

This little CERAMIC RAINBOW would look so cute in a little girls’ room!  If you haven’t noticed, these just happen to be all of my favorite colors right now.

These DRESS GIRL DOLLS are so precious!  I’d love to get all 3 for Milo.

I’ve heard a lot of great things about these VTECH WATCHES for kids & they sound so cool!  I love that it encourages kids to learn and stay active!

As much fun as my kids like playing ‘horse-riding’ with Ben, they would love this RIDE-ON PLUSH PONY!  The kids just slightly bounce up and the horse starts moving forward.  I wish they had one for me! Imagine all of the chores I could get done riding this thing around without ever having to stand up.

Milo would wear these DONSJE ANIMAL PURSES around everywhere!  What’s even better is that it’s not obnoxious, bright, or an overly sparkly kids purse.  It’s cute!

Both Milo & Ruck have an OLLI ELLA SUITCASE & LOVE them. They’re the perfect size for your kids and they’re just so darn cute.

I want to get this PUPPY CUDDLE + KIND ANIMAL for Rucks bed.  He’s such a dapper little guy.

Milo would be obsessed with this little GUARDIAN ANGEL MOUSE.  It also comes in a little suitcase for carrying around! So cute.

This WOODEN CAMERA is perfect for the kids to pretend play with! 

Found this WOOD CASTLE BUILDING BLOCK SET on Nordstrom & know that my kids would have a hayday playing with it!  It’s a 150 piece set for $40! Steal deal.

Milo has this HONEY RATTAN DAYBED in her room & it’s one of my best furniture purchases ever.  Not to mention, it’s 40% off!

I love gifting each of my kids a new book for Christmas & Anthro has some great options!  I got THIS ONE for Raen this year!

Anthropologie’s kid’s products are the cutest I’ve seen, especially this KOALA BACKPACK

I’d love to get the kids this FUJIFILM POLAROID CAMERA! They would have so much fun taking this everywhere we go!  My kids are amazed that the camera immediately prints out their picture.

You can never have enough outdoor toys for your kids.  How adorable is this BANWOOD CLASSIC BIKE?  I can already picture their faces on Christmas morning if we got them one of these.

How we survive those nightly newborn feedings while camping and my top fall pieces

IMG_7196

This chunky knit cardigan is on sale for $42 right now!  Originally $105 so it’s a steal deal.

Our family recently purchased a Ford Sportsmobile and have been going on weekly family campouts in it.  Now that the weather has cooled down in Arizona, it’s been perfect for some mini road trips and campouts.

I was a little, ok very, nervous about sleeping in a car with our newborn and two other kids but have been surprised at how well it’s worked out!  The van’s rear seat folds down into a bed and has a space next to it where we put this Plum and Sparrow Basinett for baby Raen to sleep.  Then Ruckus and Milo sleep on these two comfy foam toddler mattresses on the van floor and we all fit so insanely perfectly.

Soon we will have a video blog post showing you exactly how we set it all up so stay tuned!

What also helped with those noisy newborn feedings was this $10 sound machine.
