BLOG

Okay, so I’m a busy mom of two little ones, a husband who is a business owner, and of course I run one of my own! My time is limited, to say the least! But I know, I know, I’m probably preaching to the choir here. We are all so very busy. It seems like before we know it the holidays are upon us! Halls to deck, parties to attend, parties to throw, meals to make, bake, baste and marinate! Need I go on? Oh ya, I almost forgot, gifts to shop for!

So I made a promise to myself that when my head hurts from working, I would do my shopping online this year. I decided and take a little break each day to find something completely custom and personalized for everyone on my list. I’m off to a pretty great start and I hope by sharing my list that I can help alleviate a little bit of your holiday stress!

1. Our Loving Family Personalized Cookie Jar

I found this one first for my mother in-law, the Grammy of four. I think its super modern for her fabulous kitchen, and personalized to the tee. You can customize this by putting each of the grandkids’ names on the jar. Cookies reserved for Nana’s favorites, and maybe even a few for me too!

2. Monogrammed Steak Brand

I thought this one would be really cool for my husband. He likes to grill and he really is a “manly man” so the personalized handkerchiefs, neck ties and cuff links just won’t do it for him. I’m not worried about posting this before Christmas, he never reads my blogs. Go figure!

3. All Mine! Personalized Water Bottle

So my daughter started dance this year, and she loves it! But as many dance moms know, with dance comes pricey accessories! So when I found this personalized water bottle for only $13.95 I was pleasantly surprised. At five years old she loves to see her name, so I selected her name followed by “LIVE. LOVE. DANCE.” I know she will just love it! The price was so right, I got one for her and one for my niece!

4. Custom Cowboy Photo Wall Decal

I can’t leave out my pride and joy! My decals of course! These custom photo decals are really a huge hit with the kids. We have a superhero, cowboy, princess, spaceship, flower, and even a ballerina! These cute kids decals start at just $11.00!

5.  Monogrammed Teardrop Stone Bracelet

I’m in love with this beautiful monogrammed bracelet! I know that anything I would love for myself I would love for my sister or best friend. This bracelet is currently on sale for only $19.99. You can select the stone color you want and then the initials! This bracelet is a steal! Might just be enough left in the budget to grab one for myself!

6. Philosophy of Beer Coaster Set

The ultimate dude gift is often hard to find. I always have the hardest time shopping for the guys in my life. But it’s hard to go wrong with a bar top accessory. This set of custom coasters is man cave ready! The set of four coasters is just $29.99. You can select the color as well as the name. The last name is a great way to go!

7. Personalized Organic Baby Blanket

I know this tops out my budget of $50.00, but come on, this blanket is too adorable! This sweet gift will be perfect for baby’s first Christmas, and will make an everlasting keepsake. I just can’t resist!

8. Personalized Pillowcase

These darling pillowcases are great for toddlers to teenagers! They have so many cool themes that you can find something suited for anyone’s taste! Just $30 will get you any one of these awesome styles!

9. Perfect Pair Heart Stemless Wine Glass

Shutterfly came through unexpectedly with these cute stemless wine glasses. Our friends who are newly married are going to love this little pair of personalized glasses! Just $19.99 for the pair! You can get free shipping from Shutterfly if you spend $39.00!

10. Custom Family Name Wall Decal

This cute little family name decal is great for someone who has everything! They can place this little personalized decal just about anywhere! I really love it on a front door. It’s so simple and sweet that it can go with any décor. These come in many sizes and colors and start at just $7.00!
