gift |gɪft| noun1 a thing given willingly to someone without payment; a present: She loved to give gifts.

December is here, and you know what that means: it’s time to find those special gifts for your family, friends and loved ones!

I love to show others how much I care about them through giving gifts that are significant and special to each person. I take a great deal of care and time picking out each item for my family and friends, and usually have all of my shopping done by now!  

I’m running a little behind this year on my shopping, so I thought I would share my holiday gift list ideas with you if you are having trouble thinking of what you should get your kids, husband, wife or friends!

For Husband or Boyfriend  

  • Scentbird Subscription – Every woman loves a man who smells great. This subscription gives your man a new sample of designer cologne each month, until he finds the one that he (you both) love!
  • DVD Set of their favorite show
  • Titleist Golf Balls – for your golfer (this is also a great way to subtly say you support him playing his game!)
  • Apple Watch – (You know this is on every man’s wish list this year!)
  • Zara Coats -I love the coats and jackets at Zara for men and women. This is a great gift for your guy, that you will both love. I bought this coat for Field and he couldn’t wait until Christmas to wear it.
  • Tickets to watch their favorite sports team or music group
  • Gucci Loafers – Now, this is a gift my husband has personally been asking for. We’ll see if he’s been good enough this year….
  • Date Night Experience – Field prefers experiences over gifts. He would always rather “do” something than buy something. If your significant other is like mine, plan a family trip or a date night at your favorite restaurant or resort!

For Wife (this may or may not be a tiny hint list for my husband…*grin*)

  • A Day at the Spa – every woman needs a day at the spa from time to time. This gift is always appreciated!
  • Stay-cation date (without the kids) at a local favorite hotel or resort  
  • A Birchbox Subscription – Get a monthly beauty box of five samples tailored to your skin, hair and style. I love finding new, favorite products through this subscription.
  • Sunglasses (a girl can never have too many sunglasses)
  • Lululemon Gift Card – or other gift certificates to your favorite store!
  • Kate Spade House Slippers – I really want these! They are so cute to wear around the house.
  • Madewell Coat– I just bought a coat similar to this coat and wear it all the time! Throw it on over everything! A must for the winter!
  • Phone Upgrade – I see so many moms these days with cracked screens and barely-hanging-in-there cell phones. Just the other day I had to fix my screen  because my son dropped my phone while getting out of the car. He’s so precious sometimes! 😉
  • Mophie – While you’re getting a new phone, make sure to get a Mophie.  I don’t leave home without mine. This is a portable charging case that saves my life on a daily basis!

For Kids:

  • Kids Costumes – I LOVE this costume! Since I am constantly decorating new Mint Dentistry offices, I sometimes have to go while they are still under construction. This way, I can bring Mommy’s little helper and he will fit right in! He loves costumes! This is a great gift for girls or boys!
  • Melissa and Doug Grocery Shopping Cart – This may be Camila’s favorite toy at the moment. She walks around the house pushing her grocery cart and it is the cutest thing ever! Field loves it too.  
  • Purses for kids – Camila is just like Mommy! She loves purses so I got her one of her own. She carries it with her everywhere! She refused to put it down during our Family Photos recently. It’s adorable.
  • Kids Suitcases – making holiday travel easier (and cuter!) You can never go wrong with Mickey!
  • Pottery Barn Kitchen Set for Kids – I bought this for Camila and she loves it! I love watching her pretend to cook!
  • Toys that don’t make noise (the gift that every parent loves!)  Can I get an amen!?
  • Headphones for Kids – (so you don’t have to hear the theme song to Zootopia ever again *grin*)
