What I recommend:

12 - I bought my mom face masks for her birthday this year. They were a big hit!

14 - I gifted these last year, and it was a winner! The gloves go all the way up to their elbows so they don't scratch their arms in rose bushes or thorny plants.

16 - A stylish but simple bag which is personalized. It can be dressed up or down too.





Creating a gift guide for teen girls was a bit of a challenge since, I’ll admit, I have NO firsthand experience with teenage girls! But after doing some research and diving into what’s trending this year, I’ve put together a list of fun, popular picks that I think any teen girl would love. From stylish accessories to cozy room decor and trending beauty finds, this guide has a little something for every personality. Whether she’s into fashion, self-care, or decorating her space, these gifts are bound to be a hit. Here’s hoping this list makes shopping a bit easier and helps you find something she’ll truly enjoy!


What I would recommend:

3 - Friendship game for sleepovers.

5 - Caden's girlfriend has a digital camera and uses it all the time.

15 - To keep all their beauty products or drinks...whatever they are into.

Perfect for any woman who loves to unwind and embrace the joy of staying in!

Perfect for creating a calm, clutter-free space, these gifts are designed to bring her peace of mind and a touch of elegance to her daily routines. Ideal for anyone who finds joy in organization and wants to elevate their space!


What I recommend:


1/2 - For the lady that has a ton of water bottles.

4 - A bock pack that has a compartments for everything.

10 - A label maker....need I say more?

11 - A cordless vacuum or if you want to get really fancy...a cordless vacuum/mop combo!





For the dedicated sports moms who are always on the go, cheering from the sidelines and making countless trips to games and practices, this gift guide is all about convenience and comfort. From practical travel essentials to cozy items that make long days at the field more enjoyable, these picks are designed to help her stay organized, comfortable, and ready for anything.


What I recommend:


5 - A wagon is a must for the mom that is going to be at the ballpark all day long.

9 - The rocking folding chair is a lifesaver. I really like the mesh back ones because it keeps you cool in the summer.

10 - Cam and I usually have to divide and conquer for most games in the summer. This umbrella is so much easier to put up than trying to put up a tent by yourself. We have also taken it to the football games during the early season to get relief for the Texas heat. It works on bleachers too.

12 - These fleece tights will keep you warm when you are sitting at the field in freezing cold weather.




If you’re looking for stocking stuffers or smaller gifts for teachers, friends, or neighbors, this guide has you covered! These little finds are thoughtful, useful, and perfect for spreading holiday cheer without going overboard. Ideal for showing a bit of appreciation to the special people around you, these picks make it easy to share some festive joy with everyone on your list!


What I recommend:


6 - Travel sized perfume is a fun way to give a friend a chance to find a new scent.

11 - I love that these phone chargers have the percentage on them.

18 - For the lady (like me) that needs their keys and all info in one place. You can choose a pattern and color that fits their style.


**I don't think you can go wrong with anything personalized.**




This gift guide has something for both teen boys and girls, but here are a few picks I’d especially recommend for the ladies! Each item is designed to make her feel special and add a little fun to her everyday routine. Perfect for brightening up her holiday season!


What I recommend:


1 - Hair ties that don't crease your hair. This is always a yes!

3 - Beanies are a hit for both the girls and the guys.

6 - Inexpensive EarPods for when they lose their Airpods. They come in fun colors too.

9 /15 - For when that blemish pops up.

12 - Something to make them smile when things just aren't going their way.



I hope you all found the gift guides helpful as you start your holiday shopping! I’m excited to share that over the next few days, I’ll be posting two more guides—one filled with gifts for the guys in your life and another featuring some extra-special personalized picks. Happy Christmas shopping, and may your holiday lists be merry and bright! 🎄❤️


Warm wishes,
