    holiday gift guide : for your man

    Husbands and boyfriends can be hard to buy for because you pretty much stick to the same things every year. Buying things dudes actually want is hard! Girls want way more stuff. Here’s more “man stuff”, but maybe man stuff he’ll actually be really into.

    penguin eau de toilette, i got this cologne for my boyfriend and am seriously obsessed with the scent / all men (maybe just most men) love fun socks like these corgi patterned ones from j.crew / whiskey aftershave from portland general store / how to stay out of the doghouse – a fun gag gift that might teach him a thing or two / clark’s waxed desert boots / a tiny keychain usb like this lacie petitekey / wood alarm dock for his iphone from areaware / some new snazzy headphones like these eskuche control headphones / a simple classic pocket square, something he most likely wouldn’t buy for himself like this one from bonobos

    holiday gift guide : for the kiddies

    Whether you’ve got kids of your own, a little niece or nephew, or there’s some other child in your life that you want to spoil, these gifts are all super fun but tasteful too!

    what kid wouldn’t want to snuggle up with a deer?! no kid, that’s who. deer pillow from areaware / these slipper boots from garnet hill are so cute and fun, and have a ton of different animals so you can get different ones for the siblings and they can fight over whose is better / you want the kid to be obsessed with you? get them their own teepee from the land of nod / a classic game like twister, you used to play and might still be willing to / an adorable little apron for the sous chef like this one from anthropologie / this tricks and magic kit from house 8810 will keep them entertained and most likely you too (if they’re good with it) / you might regret it, but a squeezebox (you might call it an accordion) would be super fun for a few minutes at the very least / i’m loving the illustrations in this childrens book i want by hat back

    holiday gift guide : for your mom

    I don’t know about yours, but my mom is super hard to buy for. Sure, she likes pretty things but most of the time she receives gifts and stores them away forever. It always takes a lot of thought to come up with something she might actually use, therefore items have to be EASY to use right off the bat.


    personalized stationary from minted is undeniably perfect for any woman, when will you not use beautiful stationary with your damn name on it? / a gorgeous jonathan adler candle like this one will not only be functioning but you can just keep it on your desk for a touch of beautiful / a pretty iphone case like this one from anthropologie is a sure thing if she immediately attaches it to her phone / a beverage warmer from brookstone can be easily placed on her desk for a constantly warm cup of joe, easy peasy and totally necessary / a very cute pajama shirt she can throw on like this polka-dot flannel pj shirt from j.crew / a beautiful coffee table book for her to swoon over such as the kennedys: photographs by mark shaw (what mom doesn’t love the kennedys?) / an adorable polka dot passport holder from kate spade might even inspire her to travel / a unique kitchen addition like this schmidt brothers knife block set from west elm (totally want for myself) / a fun pair of leather gloves like these from anthropologie, she can’t not wear them, right?

    holiday gift guide : for your coworker

    Maybe you got her in secret santa, maybe she’s a new friend, or maybe she got you a gift last year and you feel bad you didn’t. Here are some things you can’t go wrong with.

    you can never go wrong with a nice bath product like vanilla coconut bubble bath + shower gel from philosphy / an aerolatte milk frother + foamer is a perfect gift for anyone, it’s $20 and would enhance everyone’s coffee life / this red wine canvas tote from kitson also has white wine and champagne versions / simple and beautiful polished planes earrings from anthropologie / this “footed” bowl from uncommongoods has just the right amount of quirk and style / a gorgeous candle is the easiest way to go, this voluspa scalloped bamboo candle is a real beauty / grow your own mushroom kit from uncommongoods, fun and delicious / a neutral shade of nars lipstick from sephora / a super girly rose gold pop phone you hook up to your phone or computer from kitson

    platner chairs

    My grandma has owned her platner chair for probably 40 years now – she moved to Florida and now it’s getting passed on to me! It’s a yellow lounge chair, and apparently needs reupholstery so I’m thinking maybe a charcoal gray. Oh man I’m excited.

    holiday gift guide : for your dad

    OK THANKSGIVING IS OVER GUYS. That means it’s time to start buying presents! First up – one of the hardest people to buy for is your dad and you know it.

    most dads love baseball and really long ken burns DVDS always seem like a good choice so here is the baseball: a film by ken burns dvd  / a super nice dopp kit like this one from banana republic any dad would like filling with nose hair trimmers / a classy tie they wouldn’t pick out for themselves like the augusta stripe tie from jack spade / also from jack spade, i love these good grief cocktail glasses / for the dad that cooks or bbqs or just loves meat, lobel’s meat bible will teach him everything he doesn’t know / a slick huntsman swiss army knife could never go wrong / very handsome playing cards from best made co. / this wooden miniot ipad case works super well and looks super good too (the boyfriend has it).

#autumnlover #autumn #autumnvibes🍁 #autumninnewengland
i know it’s early but it feels soooo good to be i know it’s early but it feels soooo good to be done with one less holiday task! we got our holiday cards from @minted and they make so many beautiful designs, i didn’t even feel the need to have nice photos taken! they have incredible quality, ship so quickly, and come with FREE recipient addressed envelopes! 

i usually love to handwrite my holiday cards but i just do not have the energy this year, i used the @minted app to scan all the addresses i’ve kept in a notebook for years, and now I WILL NEVER HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN! they’re just in my address book so i can do it year after year!

if you want the link for this design and a bunch of other favorites, comment HOLIDAY and i’ll send em straight to your dms! 

and you can use code ALMOSTMAKESPERFECT for 20% off Minted stationery & gifts!*

i am so so happy with how it turned out, we spend most of our time in the backyard but to be able to sit here and wave off arlo every morning (while the actual school bus picks him up directly from our driveway because we live in a small town like a hallmark movie) brings me real joy!
