Some of the items mentioned below I received for free to review, and others are promoted using affiliate links. In my opinion, they are truly worth giving as a gift or purchasing for yourself.  Thank you for supporting me!

It’s that time again… time to shop and wrap and label!  Time to make shopping lists and stuff stockings!   But sometimes, gifts are hard, yo.  It’s difficult to give someone something different and exciting and not break the bank at the same time.  I’ve got several gift ideas for you this year in my first-ever gift guide!  Shop by type or family member for some hot ticket items for 2016.   

2016 Holiday Gift Ideas for Moms, Dads, Foodies, Techies and Kids

FOR MOM:

Personalized .925 Sterling Silver Cuff, $60+

Six Sisters Beadworks offers fine cuffs with personalized messages. Malleable, but NOT easily breakable! :)
I bought my Mom this gorgeous cuff, with a lyric printed right where she can read it everyday.  Personalized items from Six Sisters Beadworks like my cuff bracelet and mother-daughter sets are best sellers.  Their Swarovski crystal bracelet was even featured on the Today Show!  Retail prices are $30 – $102 and totally worth it. My mom’s new cuff is sturdy, light, and compliments all her silver jewelry.  It doesn’t hurt that I was able to share a memory or two with the inscription!

Essential Oil Diffuser, $63.75

Young Living Dew Drop Diffuser

At this wholesale price, I LOVED picking this Young Living home diffuser out for myself.  It was one of the things I most enjoyed this year, and I got to support my friend while purchasing it.  Add many drops of peppermint or stress away essential oil, and you can find me working in peace and a no-stress zone.  

Stella & Dot Getaway Bag, $138.00

Stella and Dot Getaway bag, expandable with leather handles. $138

Stella & Dot Getaway bags are my FAVORITE.  I’m not sure how I traveled before I got one!  Besides being roomy, zippered and a fabulous print, they are expandable to fit extra goodies on the way home. Or perhaps you’re traveling with presents for the kids? Stuff them in and zip up the extra portion on the way back.  Styles vary, but they feature leather handles and wear so well!  I’m actually a stylist, so if you see something you like, let me know!!

FOR KIDS:

Reusable Sticker Books, $7.00 each

Jumbo Reusable Sticker books with animal themes
These are just like vintage books I had when I was a kid.  I was overjoyed to be able to share these Farm Animals and Jungle Animals with my little of sticker fans.  Kids of all ages can play with large vinyl, reusable stickers of colorful, fun animals!  With 22 pages of farm scenes, there are no rules or set places for stickers to go. It’s all about the imagination and fun of playing, and with a wipe clean cover, you can tote it to the restaurant for quiet entertainment. Jumbo stickers are perfect for learning fine motor skills, so even young children who haven’t yet achieved full manual dexterity can have loads of fun.

Fisher Price Code-A-Pillar, $49 

code-a-pillar-toy

The Fisher Price Code-A-Pillar is the neatest thing for the budding generation.   Meant for 3 years and up, the Code-A-Pillar teaches young kids about patterns and computer coding without them even knowing it.  The 9 easy-to-connect segments can be arranged by preschoolers to “tell” the toy how to move forward, left, right, wiggle, dance or even wait for a couple of seconds before moving again.  There’s even a motorized head, lights, sounds and eyes that brings him to life! Even I want to play with him… maybe that’s the cue I need to get on the floor and really get into a toy with the kids!

Pie Face the Game, $17

Holiday Gift Guide: Pie Face

Pie Face the game is a HOOT! If you caught the YouTube video from across the pond with the grandfather-grandson duo, and you wanted your own game, fear not! This pie-in-the-face suspense game is going to get ya!  If you don’t play with whipped cream, use the sponge on the “hand” of this game and turn the handles. You score a point for every time you turn the handle without getting pie-faced, and the whoever scores 25 points first, wins. Fun for the whole family… especially the grandparents!!!

FOR THE GOURMET:

Sno Spice Ice Cream Mix-Ins, $28/4 pack

Sno Spice Ice Cream Mix-Ins

Stuck at home with just plain vanilla ice cream? Or maybe you and your family have different palates? Never fear! Sno Spice Ice Cream Mix-Ins are a collection of herb and spice blends that transform ordinary ice cream into an amazing array of flavors. Best of all, there’s no sugar, no preservatives and tons of flavor that come from natural, simple ingredients.  

Tovolo Sphere Ice Molds – Set of 4, $18.95

Circle Ice Cube Molds, Sphere or Globe shape

Need a cocktail? You MUST try a sphere ice-cube.  The 2.5″ sphere design is perfect to accompany your Bourbon, Scotch . The molds are stackable, so they save space and WILL NOT tip over in your freezer and cause a giant mess.  The silicone cap creates a perfect leak-free seal. BPA free, dishwasher safe. *Fancy!*

FOR THE TECHIE:

The Honeywell Lyric Smart Thermostat, $145 

The Lyric Thermostat is my first step towards a smart home. At the flick of my iPhone, I can command a new temperature, tell Alexa to control it, or set a 7-day schedule for vacations.  I didn’t know how much we were going to like it until I found out how much it did! Now I want one for the other temperature locations in our house!  The techie in your home is bound to benefit from the command-able gadget and your smart home will thank you.

HP Sprocket: Mobile Photo Printer, $129.99

HP Sprocket Mobile Photo Printer The HP Sprocket app, free on iOS and Android, lets you easily customize your favorite smartphone and social media photos with colorful frames, text, stickers, filters and more.  Then, use the pocket-sized HP Sprocket to bring your favorite memories to life with vibrant 2 x 3” smudge-proof photos you can share, or peel-and-stick and create collages and art projects.  This portable printer goes virtually anywhere, and with Bluetooth connectivity, you and all of your friends can connect to Sprocket with your smartphones and tablets and print and share a photo right on the spot.
 

Monster Mobile Clarity In-Ear Headphones with Apple Control Talk, $34.95

Monster Mobile Clarity In-Ear Headphones with Apple Control Talk

The ClarityHD ear buds were designed for people who use the ear buds found in their smartphone boxes. Monster believes that we deserve better sound, build, noise isolation and better comfort.  These squishy earphones with great sound quality are an incredible value, which makes for the perfect stocking stuffer.  They are ergonomically designed, with multiple ear tips for a better fit.  This means my kid sized ears can get grown up sound at a price Santa can afford! *If you need a Bluetooth solution for your wired headphones, try the: 
 

Griffin iTrip Clip $19.99

Griffin's iTrip clip is only $20 and provides a bluetooth solution for your wired headphones. Great stocking stuffer!

*If Santa wants to bring me one of these… that would be cool.*  This solution between Bluetooth and wired headphones is a fancy one.  The Griffin iTrip  cuts the cable between your smartphone and headphones to deliver the ultimate in wireless freedom to listen and control your music.  Don’t worry if your smartphone doesn’t have the headphone jack. iTrip Clip connects your favorite headphones wirelessly to your smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth 4.1.

FOR DAD:

Hobby Items, $various

Gift Ideas For Dads

My Dad happens to have a serious interest in flying! I’ve given him flight gear, jackets, accessories and more. My husband is into tennis and running, so naturally, shoes and a tennis bag are on his list.  I find that people who love their hobbies always need new equipment or ways to improve their craft.  

Custom Made State Coasters

Custom State Coasters

Handcrafted by One Nut Woodworks, these entertaining coasters are made with two tones of wood and professionally sanded to carry only your finest beverages!  Available in each of the 50 states, too… which one would you pick?  You can read more about the carpenter, Seth, here and please know that in an effort to repay organizations that have given so much to Seth and his wife, 10% of all proceeds will go to raising awareness for men’s health issues. 

Hygiene and Pampering Kit, $50

A great gift idea for Dad: hygiene kit

It’s not to say Dad is smelly (though after those gym workouts his shirts might need a wash!) but he does do a LOT for the family, so perhaps some pampering is in order? If he’s not the type to spring for a spa treatment, treat him to this hygiene kit with lavish items made in the USA.  Some of these salves were invented by a mechanic who needed a tough clean that was kind on the skin. 

Fancy Underpants

unnamed

What should be on every dad’s gift list this holiday season? Underwear, socks, T-shirts, OH MY! But seriously… my husband can wear our an undershirt or a pair of socks faster than anyone I’ve met.  I usually stuff his stocking with some essentials like Hanes® FreshIQ™ T-shirts, underwear or socks to keep him supplied throughout the year.   Husbands or Dads will love the softness and comfort of Hanes, you’ll love the odor control technology that helps to reduce unpleasant odors from your clothes; something for everyone.  FreshIQ™ fabric treatment attracts & kills odor-causing bacteria thereby reducing unpleasant odors from clothing. Be stink-free all year long!
