Blonde Tortoise Phone Case
This stylish phone case a must-have for the woman who is doing too many things at once, thanks to the signature “loopy” grip that keeps her phone safe from slips and drops. The blonde tortoise pattern adds a chic, feminine touch that pairs perfectly with everyday outfits. I’ve used loopy cases for years and LOVE them! I’m putting this one in my stocking! 😉

Wool Felt Shearling Clogs
These dreamy clogs are the definition of cozy—soft wool felt on the outside, plush shearling on the inside, and that classic Birkenstock support underfoot. They’re perfect for puttering around the house, working from home, or slipping into after a long day. A warm, comfy gift she’ll live in all winter long.
Slip Skinny Scrunchies
These silky scrunchies are gentle on hair while still holding a ponytail perfectly—no creasing, no snagging, just smooth, comfortable style. I wear these in my ponytail every night to bed to keep my hair fresh, but without the breakage!
Barefaced Skincare
Last year I decided to finally fix my skin. And I started using these three products: Vitamin C Serum, RetinAl Skin Therapy and Toning Pads every night. My cystic acne want away and I go without makeup more than ever. If you want to just get one item, get the toning pads. But your friend (or yourself) will not be disappointed with this line of skincare!

I’ve left my older gift guide here. The links may or may not work anymore, but there are some good ideas here that may spark some creative gift ideas!
1. Leather Cross-body Tote
Every woman needs a high quality leather tote that can be worn cross-body or on the shoulder. I have this one and I LOVE it! It’s large enough to fit all of my essentials.
2. Cordless Stick Vacuum
I know, I know. An appliance for a gift seems lame. But I got this years ago (a requested gift) and I’ve loved every minute of owning it. I use it daily to clean up the messes around my home. I’d say it’s the most useful Christmas gift I’ve ever received! (Now I’m eyeing this fancier vacuum… middle age at its finest!)
3. Monogrammed Mug
This monogrammed mug is a classic for every girl!
4. Cozy Slippers
These slippers are worth every penny. I get them last year and love them so much! You can even replace the sheepskin insoles for cheap, so they will last for years!!
5. Slip Silk Scrunchies
These silk scrunchies won’t leave indentions in your hair or damage your hair. I’ve recently discovered that pulling my hair up on the top of my head with these as I sleep helps my hair still look great the next day!
6. Tunic Sweater
This sweater is the BEST cozy sweater this year. I love the tunic length, the split on the side and the fabulous crew neck. Not to mention it’s super comfy. The perfect gift for any friend, sister, mom or grandma!
7. Luxurious Robe
I bought this robe last year for myself and it is divine!
8. Huggie Earrings
Huggie gold hoop earrings with crystals. I have these and wear them all the time!
9. Crawler Stud Earrings
10. Aviator Sunglasses
I’ve spent my entire adult life buying cheap sunglasses in the event that I might lose them. But a couple years ago I bought a nice pair of sunglasses and the quality is worth every penny. I LOVE them! I have the gold/brown color combo.
11. RFID Large Zip Clutch
This wallet big enough to fit your iPhone 11 Pro and all of your cards, receipts and cash.
12. Butter Gloss Lip Gloss
I’m obsessed with the Creme Brûlée color and wear it daily!
13. Barefoot Dreams Cozy Chic Cardigan
The coziest sweater/cardigan you will EVER put on your body. When I wear it my kids fight over who gets to cuddle with me on the sofa. The blanket is a perfect solution–FYI.
14. Windowpane Plaid Scarf
This is so pretty and you can add a monogram! I got it for my mother-in-law last year!
15. Rifle Paper Co. Insulated Mug
I love this mug so much for keeping my coffee warm for hours AND looking pretty! (I love it so much, I put the wallpaper in my bathroom!)
16. Simplified Daily Planner
My daily planner that I have used for 5-6 years is literally my brain on paper and would make any planner girl so happy!
17. Tumi Carson Travel Backpack
This is an investment gift, but I’ve owned mine for years and LOVE it! It goes with me anytime I leave my house. It has the best pockets and looks like new all these years later. And it will last decades!
18. More Beautiful Coffee Table Book
This one is beautiful on the inside (of course) and looks great on any bookshelf!
19. Gorgeous Eyeshadow Palette
20. Slip-on Sneakers
I’ve worn slip on sneakers for years in the fall through spring months. And I recently bought these exact pair from Rothy’s. They are so comfortable and can even be washed in the washing machine! Sold!!
21. Makeup Mirror
What is your favorite thing that you like to give to the ladies in your life – or get for yourself??

My greatest home challenge is blank walls! I don’t know what to put up, how to space it, what tools to use to keep heavy things up without ripping holes, etc, etc, etc
I have written a couple of posts about hanging things on walls. Definitely trying to screw things into the studs is the best way, but there are some great options if you can’t do that!

My greatest home decor challenge is space planning.
My greatest home decor challenge is figuring out where and how to give items a labeled home on a small budget.
My greatest challenge is not making everything look cluttered!
My suggestion is to save up and buy large, statement pieces! 🙂
My greatest challenge is finding time to finish a room and decorating on a budget.
My biggest challenge is my porches. Things are so expensive and it’s hard to co-ordinate on a shoestring. I would like to create a space on the front and back that draws you in.
My biggest challenge is keeping ahead of the clutter and just using all of the many things I have. I don’t need to purchase anything new, but that is always the temptation. Thus, more clutter. The struggle is real.
Same here! I have to remember that if I’m buying things, then I need to also be purging. Either selling or donate, or else my house will become cluttered (and it does)!
Lately, I’ve had a really hard time find attractive drapes/curtains that are thermal. It’s taking me forever to find something I like.
My greatest decor home challenge is finding the right size furniture pieces to fit into my small living room . I know what I like.Not being able to find it at the price I’m comfortable paying.
My greatest home decor challenge would be having money to do what I want to do.
Ain’t that the truth! 🙂 Budgeting is so not fun, but a necessity, for sure!
My greatest decor challenge lately after having changed out my entire house of carpet for new LVP flooring last year (yay!) is just finding time to finish painting all the ceilings & walls in my new color palette so I can finally get to the FUN redecorating projects I really want to do!!
Knowing how to arrange items in an artistic way is my biggest decorating challenge.
It takes me forever to make decisions on what I really want!! So sometimes things are just empty or blank (or just look really awful) until I finally figure it out. I am also a thrift shopper so if I can’t buy it cheap then I won’t get it. But I do enjoy decorating our home!! Thanks for the giveaway!! 🙂
I just moved into my first home recently and love all your ideas for home decor. I’m trying to do a mix of store-bought and DIY inside, to make it have a personal touch. I think that’s the hardest part. I want it all done and decorated, but I’m realizing it’s never “done”! It’s an on-going process that continues to change with the seasons!
I like a mixture of styles – modern, industrial and farmhouse and don’t know how to have them blend and look well together.
Trying to decide on curtains – do I want a solid color, a print, what color, etc.
using things I already have, instead of continually purchasing new items
I have the hardest time deciding what to put on my walls.
Greatest home decor challenge is not knowing how to build the things I want to make.
I am such a perfectionist I want it to be perfect right away. I can see someone else’s decor and like it, but want to copy it exactly to make sure it’s perfect, but it never works out that way.
My biggest struggle with decorating is trying to figure out which style I prefer. I love both contemporary and rustic design styles, and since my interest in decorating is quite new, I don’t always know which pieces could work for either style.
My greatest design challenge is really not having enough rooms to redecorate!!
a long narrow living room- finding the right furniture
Showing off a collection of something you like without over doing it. I LOVE dachshund dogs. I have three and when ever I see something out shopping that is one I will buy it, however I have a hard time fitting them into my décor without looking like the crazy dog lady!
Dining room wallpaper! It drives so many other decisions.
Love the window idea!
My biggest challenge is always the Front Porch . It usually looks so blah ! Need something cost effective but fabulous!
I agree with Alison S. I have a hard time hanging stuff on my walls, the measuring, etc. drives me crazy.
Hi Laura, I visited your old hometown Franklin…you’re right it was amazing!
What can I do with my popcorn walls and ceilings? That’s my biggest challenge.
For me it’s difficult ensuring that colors and patterns go well with one another in any given room.
My greatest decor challenge would have to be knowing how to decorate the guest bedroom to accommodate folks and still be modern and fresh.
It’s hard for me to figure out how to hang things on the wall.
