Alright question time! Are you sitting back, relaxing, and enjoying the holiday season? Or are you still doing a little bit of a last minute hustle to get your gift list checked off? I am just about done, except for a few family gifts. For some reason those seem to be the trickiest for me just because it’s such a broad subject! But I stumbled across a new mom hack that takes the guesswork out of your gift ideas and I’m teaming up with Walmart to tell you all about it!!
:: THE GIFT FINDER
Ok before we dive into my roundup of fun last minute family gifts, I have to show you the magic tool that helped me narrow down what I wanted to get and how easy it is to use!! It is new to Walmart’s website and it is called THE GIFT FINDER. It is a busy mom’s dream to saving time on gift buying so you can spend more time enjoying the holidays.
At the bottom of the menu on the home page, you will see the gift finder. Click on that and it will take you to this amazing holiday gifting hack. You’ll see a prompt to enter in a little bit of criteria (all optional) depending on who you are gifting too. You can choose age, gender, price range, and even interests. Once you fill in what you would like, you click search and it curates an amazing list of gift ideas that match your needs! I love that it takes all the guesswork out of it for you and helps you come up with things you might not have on your own! If you want a more detailed look, head over to my stories today where I am walking you through it!
As if that doesn’t save you enough time, once you’ve narrowed down your selections, you can choose one of Walmart’s quick delivery or pick up options and you are done!
:: LAST MINUTE FAMILY GIFT IDEAS
Now that you know how to use the Gift Finder, let’s talk about the fun gift ideas it helped me find!! When it comes to gifts for the family, I don’t know why I didn’t think of games! We love board games and card games in our house, and have really added to our collection this year. The Walmart Gift Finder helped me quickly find a bunch we love already to gift, as well as some new ones I’m getting our family to enjoy during the holiday break. Check out our favorites for the perfect family gift ideas!
. . .
I hope this little holiday gifting hack helps you save time and money as you hunt for your last minute gift ideas!!
We took a little breather on the gift guide front, but we are back with one of our very favorites to put together! Kids STOCKING STUFFERS!! I swear little stocking stuffers are one of the things my kids look forward to the most! We love to keep some things traditions we gift every year, but coming up with new fun ideas can be tricky! So today we rounded up some of our tried + true ideas plus some new favorite finds to cover all your stocking stuffers needs!
This one is one of those stocking stuffer traditions we try to incorporate every year because the kids LOVE them!! We love gifting them, because it isn’t just a gift card, but it is gifting a “kids date” with one or both of us. They love this one on one time just as much as us and it has quickly become a favorite tradition. You could do gift cards to their favorite store, treat spot, restaurant, or an activity!
:: GAMES
I never thought of us as big gamers, but the pandemic/quarantine and more time spent at home has brought it out in us. It has quickly become one of our favorite things to do together as a family. Small card or dice games make great stocking stuffers and I love that there is a variety for toddlers up to bigger kids. Some of our favorites are monopoly deal, spot it, and the classic uno.
When it comes to gifting these days you can never go wrong with tech ideas. We don’t go too overboard on price with our stocking stuffers, but you could do something like a watch band or new phone case. We love loopy cases at our house and they are the perfect gift for new phone users to keep them protected. code KAILEE10 saves you 10% off!
:: ACCESSORIES
Stocking stuffers are known for their size because well they have to fit in a stocking!! That makes them the perfect place to gift accessories. Everything from jewelry (earrings, bracelets or necklaces) and sunglasses to wallets and beanies. You could even add in the new accessory of 2020, face masks!
:: TOYS
Last but not least are your tiny toys. I don’t like to add a ton of these because I just don’t love having cheap low quality toys all over the house. But there are a few we love that fit the size criteria and are favorites! Things like playdoh and paint dots, or little princesses and finger skateboards work great!
I hope some of these ideas help solve your stocking stuffer needs! For more awesome ideas, you can check out our gift guides!!
Over on Instagram I shared my secret little gifting hack that has been a game changer when it comes to the holidays. The response was overwhelming with both excitement + questions! So today I’ve teamed up with Nordstrom x Kiehl’s to share some of my favorite holiday gift sets and that little gifting hack that will make finishing up your shopping a breeze!
When it comes to holiday gifts, I am always looking for ways to gift my favorite products. You are gifting to your favorite people. So it should be your favorite things right?! But the price point doesn’t always make that doable. That is where my little gifting hack comes in to play. I love getting holiday sets like these, and breaking them down into smaller gifts. For example you could take this balm set, and break it into 3 perfectly sized stocking stuffers. The bigger hand creams could be used for multiple girlfriend gifts or a favorite things party!
hand cream set | lip balm set
Now let’s talk sets. Nordstrom always seems to come out with the BEST sets for the holidays with top high end brands like Kiehl’s. Their options for sure did not disappoint this year. I love the variety of sizes from full size hand cream, to the multi set of smaller creams or balms. And of course, like always with Nordstrom you have free shipping so you can shop them all from the comfort of your home.
In addition to my gifting hack, these holiday sets are a great way to test out some products you have had your eye on but weren’t ready to commit to the full size. They usually come with a variety so you can test them out and find your favorite!

I hope this holiday gifting helps you wrap up the rest of the gifts on your list and gives you a chance to try some fun new products from Nordstrom!
We are still going strong with our gift guide extravaganza and today is a fun one!! Today we are teaming up with Walmart to share some fun gift ideas that are perfect for the whole family! Our favorite thing to do as a family is to get outside and move with our family, and these gift ideas reflect that! Some we already own and use often, and some we have at the top of our lists! Check them out for some fun ideas for your family or gifts for those you love!
Ok this idea comes completely from my best friend/assistant. Her family has this kayak and absolutely loves it!! Everything deflates and folds up super compact into a big similar to an air mattress bag, so it is so convenient to throw in the car for a road trip. They have used it at local lakes, taken it to Canada, and even fit it in a carryon suitcase to use in Hawaii! For size reference, her family of 4 (2 parents + 2 small kids) can all fit in it. There is also this great option too that is also inflatable. I just love that it is the ticket to so many new family adventures.
If you saw the details of our Mexico trip, you know we played volleyball in the pool literally every single day. It was so much fun! I love that this is another fun gift idea that gets you active and outdoors, but is simple enough for kids to play too. You could use it in your backyard, or if you have a pool get one for over the pool. We love ours!
We don’t have one of these yet, but it is included here in this list because my kids (and joe) are begging for one this year. Joe’s brother has it and when we went up this summer they all played it for hours. It brings a fun family friendly competition and is a great option for when you are stuck indoors for the Winter.
Oh my gosh, cornhole is one of our family’s absolute favorite games! We get so competitive!! Our family loves it so much that a few years ago, Joe made one for a surprise homemade gift for his brother, and his brother unknowingly did the exact same thing! It is another great one to have on vacation because it is easy to set up in a backyard, on the beach, or anywhere, and the whole family even the babies can play.
When I saw this game table I thought it was such a fun family gift idea! We currently have an air hockey table that we love to play as a family, but the addition of fuse ball and pool would be so fun!! This is another one I love to bring some family fun inside during the colder months.
If you haven’t played spikeball yet, this needs to be at the top of your family wish list! It is such a fun game!! The kids love to just play around on it, but we played it with just the adults when we went to Hawaii and it was so much fun!! Totally makes you feel like a kid again with how hard you will be laughing.
If you need a gift idea for someone with a lot of kids, this soccer goal + ball is such a great one. Super easy to store, and lightweight so they can move it around where they want it. We love using it for family games or for practicing for games.
. . . SHOP ALL OUR FAVORITE FAMILY GIFT IDEAS . . .
Whether you are planning for Summer or looking for some family fun while you are inside this winter, I hope these gift ideas help finish off your wish list and bring some fun to your upcoming year! I love that they are all available and so affordable at Walmart, making your shopping easy + convenient!
When it comes to the holiday season, I am obsessed with creating and continuing on little traditions with my people. Something about having something to look forward to that leaves that memory with them means so much to me. When we first started our little family and it was just Joe, Hunter, and I, I wanted to start something to help me feel a little less home sick. I’m sure you’ve all heard of the very common Christmas tradition of getting pajamas on Christmas Eve. I love pajamas and thought it was the sweetest tradition, but put my own spin on it and we have loved it alllll these years later!
While I loved the idea behind the tradition, I didn’t love the timing. I am a sucker for the cute very Christmasy MATCHING pajamas. So you can see my problem with the timing. I wanted to be able to sport our cute pajamas all season long! So we had the idea to open our pajamas on Thanksgiving night instead! It has become one of our very favorite traditions that we still do all these years later!!
Since a lot of you do this tradition too, I’ve been getting questions on where we find our matching pajamas and to link some of our favorites. I have shared over on Instagram that our very favorite pajamas for kids are Shop Plain Jane. They are very simple patterns or plain colors, like you’ll see the kids wearing (minus Hudson), and range from size 12-18 month all the way up to a 10 AND they have women’s sets too! The material is buttery soft and stretchy so they are so comfortable!! I promise you will love them! **Some of their holiday sizes show sold out BUT will be restocked over the next week so be sure to click you want to be notified!
Whether you have done the pajama tradition for years, or it is something you are just starting this year, it is so fun!! To help make it easy on you this year, I’ve searched and rounded up a whole bunch of my favorite festive options, if you want to go full christmasy, and my favorite that would be great all year long! You can shop them by clicking directly on the picture below!

We all deserve a little something for surviving 2020 right?! I have packed it full of only my very favorite top gift ideas I know I would love PLUS some pretty amazing discount codes to help you shop!
I’ve shared this lip gloss at least 100 times over on Instagram over the years because it is just that good! It is the one and only gloss I have found that is zero percent sticky!! In fact it is actually moisturizing which is hard to come by in a gloss. Not only does it have the perfect formula but the colors are just as good. My very favorite every day go to is the color “goals”. It is the perfect pinky nude that looks good on any skin tone and one your girlfriends are sure to love! I reached out to them and MONDAY only you can use my code KAILEE to save 15% off instead of the normal! So set those alarms and shop it then!!
One of the many first world problems to result from 2020 is the loss of eyelash extensions for a lot of us! I was definitely included and after so so many years of wearing them, I took them off. What was left of my lashes was pretty bare, so I decided to try the lash serum and conditioner from babe lash and was SO impressed!! It worked incredibly and I am SO happy with how my lashes look now. You can use code KAILEE20 for 20% off too!
First up is my favorite hair duo! In fact I loved it so much, I collaborated with my friends at Navy to sell it as The Wright Duo!! If you haven’t used it before, this is one of the items you are gonna want to treat yo self on! The first item is the dry shampoo. It is unlike any I have tried. It actually truly leaves your hair feeling cleaner + does a dang good job of it!! There is no gross white residue just amazing magic dry shampoo that works. The second item is the texture spray. Think instant blowout and that perfectly describes it. The duo combined is the ultimate hair power couple any of your girlfriends will love! You can use code KAILEE for 30% off!
If you are looking for the absolute best pair of everyday, wear all the time, perfect earrings, these are it. I have worn them non-stop for over a year now and still love them just as much. They are the perfect simple dainty little hoop. You can sleep in them, shower in them, whatever you want and the quality stays amazing. I have gifted them to my mom and sisters and girlfriends and they all instantly love them too! I think they are the perfect gift for someone that has everything!!
You have probably heard me talk about this new set over on Instagram this past week with the launch, but I am just so happy with how it turned out!! I was able to team up with my friends over at PMD to create the darling gift set perfect for your girlfriends or sisters! It includes the PMD Microdermabrasion Pro + the PMD Clean in the best little bag perfect for storing or on the go! You can use code KAILEE20 for 20% off!
And last but not least is this set from beauty bio. I don’t think there is a woman out there that doesn’t care about skincare and doing what she can to keep her skin healthy and youthful. This set from beauty bio is like the jackpot of skincare favorites! The glopro microneedling tool that is included has made such a difference on my skin. Your skin gets a firmer, smoother look to it and it helps to absorb all those products you are using on your face. It is almost like having a spa treatment from the comfort of your home. You can use code KAILEEw20 for 20% off!
If you are looking for the ultimate goes with everything bracelet, look no further. These budha girl bracelets have quickly become a favorite in our house with not just me but all my girls too. They are soundless, waterproof, and basically indestructible. I started out with the “gold” ones and now have the fawn, rose gold, and champagne and could not pick a favorite! For size reference, universal size is a medium, I personally wear a small. You can use code KAILEEWRIGHT15 for 15% off! Shop the little girl options here so you can match! (Hayden wears a Large and Harper wears a Small in the kids)
You all know my love for these geometry towels. The cutest patterns, super absorbent, non-stinky, all the things in one perfect little towel. I love love gifting these to my family and girlfriends because it is such a simple way to brighten up something like cleaning or doing the dishes for them! With lots of patterns to choose from you are sure to find one to match their style. You can use code KAILEE15 to save 15% off too!
Last but not least on this girlfriends gift guide is my love of Tula. If I had to pick one product that every single woman would love, it would be the 24/7 cream. It is the perfect everyday moisturizer that doesn’t leave you feeling sticky and works so well. But right now you can shop Tula’s holiday gift setstoo and they are good!! They would make a perfect gift on their own, or you could break them up and give them to multiple girlfriends!! Use code KAILEE to save an extra 15% off too!
If you haven’t already snagged an infamous Stanley Tumbler, you are thinking isn’t it just a cup? I promise you it is not!! It is so so good! First of all, let’s highlight my favorite part. It is giant AND it still fits in your cup holder!! It is about time someone figured that out! Next up it has a handle which makes it so convenient when your hands are full. Another highlight is of course the straw. I swear I drink wayyy more water if it is through a straw! And last but for sure not least is that it keeps your drink cold forever. Like 12 hours +.
I absolutely love mine and know these will sell out so so fast so stay tuned over on Instagram for me to announce the restock date!! It would make the perfect gift for girlfriends, teachers, parents, husbands, literally anyone! You can shop the original amazing colors + the 2 new colors here.

We hope you loved our big roundup of gift ideas for all your best girlfriends (or to treat yo self)! We’d love to hear your favorite gift to get or give too!
You guys! CHRISTMAS is only 6 weeks away!! I cannot believe it is already here! This year has been so crazy I feel like it has gone on and on but also flown by! Today we are continuing on with our GIFT GUIDE EXTRAVAGANZA and featuring one of our most popular, the in-law’s + parents! Something about them already having all the things just makes it a little trickier to get creative, so we’ve rounded up all our best ideas + some ideas from you guys and have them all for you to check out below!
My sweet friend Kelsey over at Little Sycamore reached out to me about these rings she has started creating for mama’s, and the second I saw them I knew not only did I have to have one, but that they would make the perfect Christmas gift. As you can see, they are very clean + simple. While I love personalized jewelry, I love that these have a special meaning that isn’t quite as obvious. You can customize how many “dots” they have to your needs. I gifted these to my mom + sisters at our girls trip and had them customized to match how many kids they each have. I love the special meaning behind them, but that they stay very classic and timeless.
:: necklace
If you know me, you know my love for Made by Mary runs deep. Just like the mini mama rings above, these necklaces are such a treasured piece to give your mom or mother in law for the holidays. The personalization and custom options are endless. I have seen them done with dots representing children or grandchildren. Or engraved with a date that is special to them. If you don’t want to personalize, they also have grandma necklaces or other gorgeous simple options.
:: cariloha pillows
Did you know that the average person sleeps for at least 1/3 of their life?! So investing in good quality products to help you enjoy that time is key. Insert the Cariloha Flex Pillow. It is what dreams are made of, no pun intended. If you are tired of pillows being too stiff or too soft, this is the pillow for you. It is 100% customizable to your exact firmness desires. The inside “filling” of the pillow is made of bamboo charcoal memory foam. This filling can be removed to achieve your desired firmness. Joe has his all the way full, and I took out about 1/2. We love them so much we gifted them to our family for Christmas last year and they are all just as obsessed. Whether you are a side, back or stomach sleeper they are INCREDIBLE! It is the perfect gift for someone that has everything!
We also absolutely LOVE their sheets and towels. The towels are the softest, most absorbent ones I’ve ever tried! I originally just got them in my bathroom, but after my kids constantly begging to shower upstairs so they could use our towels, we got them throughout the house!!
And last but not least is the sheets. If you want to have the dreamiest sleep of your life, you need these sheets. So so soft and high end looking. They wash up perfectly and don’t lose any of their cozy goodness. And the best news is you can use code KW for 20% off site wide!
:: acrylic picture frames
If there is one thing in-laws + parents love most, it is pictures of their family! I love gifting family pictures or pictures of the grand kids to my parents. But a couple of years ago we stepped it up a notch and gifted them a gallery wall. We got all the frames, pictures printed, and offered our time to actually hang the collage for them and the loved it! Our favorite frames that work great for gallery walls are these acrylic ones from Highland Hardware. We love them because they are clean + simple so the focus is more on the picture, not the frame, and they go with any style of decor.
:: geometry towels
You all know my love for these towels. We have our kitchen fully stocked, as well as all the bathrooms too! They are the perfect microfiber towel that super absorbent and quick drying. I think they are the perfect gift idea for someone that has everything and such a fun highlight to your kitchen space. You can use code KAILEE15 for 15% off!
:: planter
If you are looking for an idea for just your mom or mother-in-law, a great plant and planter is always one of my favorites. Unlike flowers it usually lasts a little longer and is a great way to bring some life into their space in those winter months. I love these and these as classic options that look good in your home year round.
:: yeti
Last year we surprised Joe with a yeti cooler for Fathers Day and it has quickly become a favorite of ours. I love the idea of getting the more compact version for parent’s or in-laws as a gift. They are amazing quality and something everyone would use!
:: wallet
I got this wallet for Joe last year for Christmas and it was such a hit I am snagging it for all the other guys in the family this year! I got Joe one of these wallets last year and I don’t think he has ever loved a wallet more. They have such a timeless, classic look. His is called The Apollo and is kind of like a custom money clip style. It is thin and super sleek but still holds up to 10 cards and the pull tab makes it easy to access your most used one. I have gifted it to both Joe and brother in laws and they all love it! It is the perfect gift idea for men. You can use code KAILEE20 for 20% off!
:: packing cubes
If you know me, you know I consider myself a bit of a professional packer. Haha. Maybe not that extreme, but I can pack the whole family in one bag so I’d say I’m doing pretty good. And a lot of that credit goes to packing cubes! They are a game changer and such a great gift for travelers. A fun idea would be to gift them along with tickets for a trip together or a card with a hotel reservation! .
:: diffuser + oils
Now before I explain this one, you have to know I am no oil guru. That just isn’t my thing. However, a good smelling house is. My friend Merrick shared about this oil that is an almost identical dupe to the anthropologie volcano candle and we have been LOVING it. We use the oil in these little mini diffusers throughout the house and it has been incredible. I think it is such a unique gift idea that in-laws and parents would love!
:: beauty bio set
And last but not least is this set from beauty bio. I don’t think there is a woman out there that doesn’t care about skincare and doing what she can to keep her skin healthy and youthful. This set from beauty bio is like the jackpot of skincare favorites! The glopro microneedling tool that is included has made such a difference on my skin. Your skin gets a firmer, smoother look to it and it helps to absorb all those products you are using on your face. It is almost like having a spa treatment from the comfort of your home. You can use code KAILEEw20 for 20% off!
:: stanley tumbler
If you haven’t already snagged an infamous Stanley Tumbler, you are thinking isn’t it just a cup? I promise you it is not!! It is so so good! First of all, let’s highlight my favorite part. It is giant AND it still fits in your cup holder!! It is about time someone figured that out! Next up it has a handle which makes it so convenient when your hands are full. Another highlight is of course the straw. I swear I drink wayyy more water if it is through a straw! And last but for sure not least is that it keeps your drink cold forever. Like 12 hours +.
I absolutely love mine and know these will sell out so so fast so stay tuned over on Instagram for me to announce the restock date!! It would make the perfect gift for girlfriends, teachers, parents, husbands, literally anyone! You can shop the original amazing colors + the 2 new colors here.
:: SERVICES + EXPERIENCES ::
The one thing in-laws + parents want most is time with their family. That could come in the form of you giving them a gift of a service, so they can take that time to do things they love. It could also come in the form of an experience. When gifting an experience, one thing I try to do is make it more long term. Instead of just one golf day, plan out multiple throughout the year. They will love the time with you the most, no matter what the activity is.
:: Car Detail
Is there anyone that doesn’t love a clean car?! Scheduling a car detail is basically the perfect gift for anyone on your list, especially those harder to buy for. We love using Fresh Detail because not only do they do an incredible job (check out their before and afters), they come right to your house!! So you aren’t sitting around in a shop somewhere thinking of all the things you could be doing while you wait.
:: House or Window Cleaning
As women, I think the last thing we ever want to ask for is help, especially when it comes to “airing our dirty laundry” that our house isn’t quite as clean as we might make it out to be. One of my very favorite gifts I’ve ever been given is 2 hours of a cleaning service at my house. Not only does it give you the clean house which feels amazing, but it frees up time for you to tackle the rest of your list or spend time with family. It is another great gift idea because everyone can use it!
:: Meal Delivery or Freezer Meals
I love this idea one of you sent in for in-laws + parents! Cooking for two can be hard and kind of a pain, especially when you have other things you’d rather be doing with your time. Meal Delivery or Freezer Meals are such a great idea to give them a break from that monotonous chore and to try some yummy new recipes. I love that it can be more of a long term gift too by doing it for multiple months.
:: 23 + Me Genetic Testing
I think out of all the “services” we came up with, this was my favorite for in-laws + parents. 23 + Me is such a fun way to dive a little deeper in your family history and learn more about where you came from. It kind of ends up being a gift the whole family loves!
:: Spa Day With Mom
Raise your hand if you could totally use a spa day right about now?! Chances are your mom feels the same way, plus how much more fun is it to go together and make a day of it. I love gifting relaxation and pampering (something she would never do for herself) and getting the whole to just chat and catch up together.
:: Golf Day With Dad
Just like the spa day, it is such a great way to gift your time together! So fun to just take it easy and enjoy each others company!
:: Girls Night
In-laws + parents tend to already have everything, so just spoiling them with a night out can be a great gift! I love booking a hotel for a night with my mom. We can go out to eat and shopping if we are up for it. Or our personal favorite, order room service in bed, just talk and watch a chick flick. Another simple idea that focuses on the time!
:: Family Trip
While this one might have to be altered or a little different due to Covid, it is still such a fun gift idea. Plan a family trip with the whole family that you’ve all already worked out with your schedules! They love nothing more than being with all of you together so it makes the perfect gift!
. . .
I hope this helped fill out your shopping list for your in-laws + parents! And if you have a gift you’ve given or received that you think would be a good fit, PLEASE leave it in the comments on Instagram and we will add it here!

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know my love for these pillows. They are such a dream, and the best part is they are customizable so they are a dream for anyone!! The microfiber filling can be removed to get it to your preferred firmness level. We love them so much we have gifted them to just about everyone in our family! Use code KW for 20% off!
:: TRAVEL/GYM DUFFEL
We have been huge fans of this local UT brand for years! A few months ago before we went to Mexico we stocked up on their bags and they were such a game changer. They are the perfect size for a carry on, have plenty of pockets to keep things organized and are amazing quality! You can use code KAILEE for 20% off!
:: WALLET
I got Joe one of these wallets last year and I don’t think he has ever loved a wallet more. They have such a timeless, classic look. His is called The Apollo and is kind of like a custom money clip style. It is thin and super sleek but still holds up to 10 cards and the pull tab makes it easy to access your most used one. I have gifted it to both Joe and brother in laws and they all love it! It is the perfect gift idea for men. You can use code WRIGHT20 for 20% off!
:: MASSAGE GUN
At home massage?? Need I say more? This gun is packed full of power and gives a pretty dang good massage. If your guy works out a lot it is going to be his dream gift for those sore muscles!! Plus who doesn’t love a gift you can use for you too? Haha!
:: CAR DETAIL KIT
Is there anything better than a squeaky clean car? With this kit your man will always have his car looking its best. It comes with everything they need to keep both the interior and exterior of his car looking amazing!
:: STANCE SOCKS
These socks are such a fun gift idea for men if you need to keep it lower budget. They come in a bunch of crazy or subtle pattern options, so you are sure to find one to fit your guys personality.
:: AIRPOD PRO
As if airpods weren’t dreamy enough, the new updated noise cancelling airpod pros are incredible! The sound quality and convenience are so great to have, and the new fit of them is so much better! I promise any guy on your list would love them!
:: BOSE BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES
When it comes to traveling, Joe loves to have these over ear headphones. He has had the bose noise cancelling version for years and would never switch to something else. The quality you get is worth every single penny. His are like new still after having them for years!
:: YETI
Last but not least is the Yeti. We surprised Joe with this last year and he absolutely loved it!! We have used it in the backyard, on road trips, and even taken it to ball tournaments. It is such a high quality cooler and something more unique for men that already have everything!
:: HUBBY/BOYFRIEND EXPERIENCES ::
If you are like me, sometimes you feel like the men already have everything they could possibly need. That is why one of my favorite gifts for Men is the gift of experiences. Spending time together or with their friends + family. Plan something they will love that they wouldn’t normally treat themselves too!
:: Overnight with You
Schedule an overnight date with you! Don’t just give them a card that says let’s go on a date night, PLAN IT and just tell them they are coming! Check their work schedule, schedule a babysitter, book the hotel, dinner reservations, everything!! Zero work for them and a break from real life they will love!
:: Golf Trip with Boys
Spending time with the guys is an easy one you know they’ll love. But make it different this time and don’t just give it as a “I give you permission”. Schedule it out for them! Maybe work with his buddies wives to make it a group gift they all get this year to a course a few hours away and they make a weekend out of it. Make reservations for them and plan it out!
:: Year of Date Nights
This is one I LOVE to gift! If you know us, we really try hard to make date night a priority. And we are beyond ok with just the dinner and dessert option. But think of how fun it would be to plan 12 dates out for the year where you do something else. Make reservations for events or things you want to do in advance. Even if you can’t afford them all at once, just write the ideas in 12 envelopes and each month you have a fun out of the box date night planned together.
:: Plan Something Out Of Your Norm
As we get old, sometimes we get a little boring. And a lot of the time our guys are the ones that are still kids at heart wanting to go and do/try all the things. Plan something for you to go together that HE LOVES that is more out of the norm for you. Basically his dream date night. Make it about him. Here are some ideas!
. indoor sky diving . go shooting . axe throwing . race car driving . driving range . batting cages
:: Tickets to a getaway together
If you wanted to go bigger, instead of planning a night out together, make it a trip. Somewhere he has always wanted to go or you want to go together. With Covid it could be as simple as a roadtrip just the two of you!
Whether you are shopping for your hubby, boyfriend, son, brother, or dad…I hope this list helped spark the perfect gift idea for them! And if you have a genius idea I need to know about, leave it in the comments here or on Instagram so I can add it in!
Happy Tuesday! We are back and so excited to have another Gift Guide to share with you! This one is all about the KIDS! It is full of amazing gift ideas for both boys + girls that I think your kids are going to love!! Some are things Hayden + Hudson are obsessed with, and some are things they are begging for this year! I hope you love are kids gift guide roundup!
Are these not the cutest thing you have ever seen?! There are so many darling varieties and I know Hayden is going to flip! I think they would be so fun to play with in the dollhouse below, and love their little boxes so you could travel with them as well.
:: doll house
I am DYING over how darling this dollhouse is! I love that is so clean, simple, and modern that I would want it out in my house, and not overly bright and cheesy. Dollhouses are so fun because they are so open ended for imaginative play.
:: tumbling mat
Hayden has this tumbling mat and all my kids use it and love it! It is great for practicing her tricks, but honestly they all just love to try new things and make up dances and games on it too.
:: bracelets
If you know me you know I’m obsessed with these bracelets! So when I saw they made them in little girl sizes you know we had to match! My girls are going to flip over being “fancy”, but I love that they are waterproof, soundless, and basically unbreakable. Very kid friendly! You can use code KAILEEWRIGHT15 for 15% off too!
:: kiwico crates
We have had a KiwiCo crate subscriptionfor all of the kids for a couple of years now, and the day they come is still our favorite day of the month. If you aren’t familiar with them, they are a kid subscription box that follow the S.T.E.A.M method. I absolutely LOVE that they help my kids learn, be more creative, and use their imaginations. The boxes are separated by different age groups and all of my kids love them and have so much fun with them. They are SUCH a great gift idea they will love all year long. You can use code KAILEE to get 50% off your first month!
:: electric skateboard
My assistant got these for her boys last year and they are SO much fun!! They love to cruise around on them and it just takes it up a notch from a regular skateboard and gives them that speed they love. You will be shocked at how quick your kids catch on to the balance and skills needed to ride and they will love them!
:: wall climbing rc car
Hudson has been dying to have one of these. It is the fun of your normal remote control car taken to a whole new level because it can climb up your walls and basically doesn’t care about gravity. Haha! I am pretty sure he and Joe will both be playing with it constantly.
:: cinemood projector
This is a gift I got for my kids last year that we have used a TON! It is a little mini portable projector!! You can hook it up to your netflix or disney + account and stream shows, it comes with a lot of kid friendly content pre-loaded, and it even has a VR feature with games to play. They love it and I love that it gets the family involved. Use code LOVEKAILEE for $50 off!
:: walkie talkies
Walkie talkies are such a classic toy that I just think screams imagination. Whether they are playing a made up game or talking to each other across the yard they are just so fun!!
:: echo
We have these echos for all of the kid rooms in our house and have loved them! It is great for me to easily be able to talk to them or wake them up in the mornings. They love it because it is a way to reach me upstairs, but they can also have music and other fun features!
:: fort building kit
Next up is this fort building kit!! If you can’t tell from above, I love open ended toys that really make them use their brains and imagination, and this kit screams that! My kids could play with it for hours coming up with all different creations. And it is such a great price point too for hours of fun!
:: gabb phone
Last but definitely not least is this gabb phone. Think iphone looks, but kid safe quality. The gabb phone gives you the look of a smart phone, but keeps apps very limited, with only phone calls and texts… no social media or gaming apps. And the new model now comes with gps tracking too! We absolutely love ours!! You can use code KAILEE10 for $10 off!
. . .
Hopefully all these ideas help spark something perfect for all the kids on your list!! We had so much fun putting it together for you and hearing all your fun ideas!
Happy Monday!! We are so beyond excited for this week because we are sharing ALL of our holiday gift guides!! Hunter started us off with her picks for Teens, and by next Monday we will have highlighted everyone else on your list!! Today’s guide is one we got a ton of requests for, and is always so fun to put together! We are talking all about Toddlers and it is GOOD!! But I will tell you, if you are looking for a copy + paste toy ad from your local store, you aren’t going to find it here. This toddlers gift guide is full of our tried + true, timeless things that will last your kids for years to come, as well as some new items Harper + Houston have on their lists too! Check it all out below!
This doll has been hands down Harper’s favorite little toy since she was tiny. It is a plush baby doll that comes with little accessories so she can feel like a little mom. I love that it is lightweight for toddlers to carry around, and soft so she can sleep with it.And you can’t have the cutest baby dollwithout the most adorable accessories. Harper LOVES this baby swing and stroller. She is such a little mama and I think being able to things just like you makes them feel so grown up. These are both super affordable and you cannot beat the quality.
:: play kitchen with wood kitchen utensils
We absolutely LOVE this little play kitchen.The babies will play with it for hours and they love to pretend to be cooking when I am. I love that it looks modern and matches my style because we keep it in our kitchen. And I am dying over these utensils I found this year! So cute and makes them feel grown up!
:: grocery checkout + cart
I got this grocery checkout (also available here) for my kids last year and they were in heaven!! Even my bigger kids loved playing with them and having their own store! You can get this cute set of food for them to shop with and they will play for hours! And the shopping cart is such a fun addition and great investment. We bought it way back when Hunter was little (like 13 years ago) and it is still in amazing condition.
:: little tikes basketball hoop
This hoop is such a fun option for your kids when it is freezing/snowy outside. Houston will shoot baskets for hours and loves the competition or trying to make up trick shots. It is a fun way for Hudson and Joe to play with him too!
:: magic track race cars
This race track is so much fun!! I love that they can bend and twist and create the track however they want. It is such a great open ended toy that they will play with for hours.
:: scooter
If you have seen my littles on Instagram in the summer, they were probably riding these scooters! They are the best ever and so great for your littlest toddlers! Both Harper and Houston could use them so young and instantly loved them!
I swear by using balance bikes to teach your kids to ride a bike. They are amazing and take so much of the stress out of it! Both of my littles LOVE theirs and I love the confidence and prep it gives them for learning to ride a bike.
:: magnatiles/magformers
I love the creativity that these spark in my kids. They are easy to use for their little hands. I love that it encourages them to use their imaginations, practice colors, and fine motor skills. My babies love them but even the big kids still play with them.
:: disney princesses
I got these Disney princesses for Harper this year and she is going to die! They are the perfect size for her little hands to carry around everywhere or to put in her bag. You can get all the different princesses and they are just darling!
:: pajamas
If you know me you know I love cozy cozy clothes, especially when it comes to pajamas. These pajamasfrom Cozy are definitely in our top 2 favorites. They are butter soft and come in the funnest fabrics! You can use code KAILEE15 for 15% off anything on the site!
:: dot game
We just got this game during quarantine and it is such a great game for the car or when you need to keep little hands busy. I love that it is working on their little motor skills but they are having so much fun playing it.
:: bracelet
Last but not least is this Made by Mary Bracelet. I have one for me and all the girls to match and they are so special. The quality is amazing. You can sleep, bathe, shower, whatever in it. My girls love them!
:: airfort
Ah I can’t believe I forgot to include this airfort!! This is the best way to keep your little people entertained for hours with basically zero mess!! It is such a fun place for them to just play and use their imagination. They will love it!
. . .
I hope this fun Toddlers Gift Guide helps spark some fun ideas for your little ones. Remember, for them it is all about exploring, imagining, and creating their own fun. You don’t have to complicate things!
Since it is this gorgeous girls birthday, we thought it would be the perfect reason for her to start the holidays off for us with the ultimate TEEN GIFT GUIDE! These are things she has and already absolutely loves or things that are on her birthday/Christmas list she is hoping for! So for another Teen Takeover, here is Hunter and her must have TEEN GIFT GUIDE!
Is there anything better than a super comfy blanket? Ah I just love them! Harper + Houston have the cutest pajamas from this brand, and they make blankets too! I am dying to get one this year. They have lots of cute patterns like tie-dye and stripes. You can use my mom’s code KAILEE15 for 15% offanything on the site!
If you have read pretty much any of my other teen takeover posts, you know I love puravida bracelets. They are just such a cute simple way to show your personality and add some color to your outfit. If it were up to me and my friends, you could never have too many of these, so they for sure make my teen gift guide top picks. And the rings they have are so cute too!
Airpods definitely make my list of top teen wishes. They are so nice to have to just listen to music while you are working out or hanging out. I think they are a gift idea that would be used a ton and for sure a favorite!
If your teen has a phone you have got to get them a loopy case!! I absolutely love mine! They make it so easy to carry your phone when you have your hands full, and I don’t stress as much about dropping my phone either! I love that they have so many different colors, patterns, and loop colors to match your personality. You can use code KAILEE10 for 10% off one or KAILEE15 for 15% off 2 or more.
This backpack is for sure at the top of my list, and so popular with for a teen right now. I just love the style of them and that they come in like a million colors!
If I could live in sweats I totally would, so I am loving that they are really in right now, even for wearing to school and stuff. I love the more jogger style like these because they are still a little fitted.
Dr. Martens are so popular right now and I LOVE them!! The boot style is my very favorite, especially in white. I just love the contrast and the chunky look.
My mom worked with this brand about a month ago, so I got to try one of their razors. They are so awesome!! It doesn’t even feel like you are shaving because they are so smooth. And they come in some cute colors too. I think it would make an awesome stocking stuffer or something like that.
I’ve been using this face wash for a year or so now and really like it. It helps with any breakouts but doesn’t make your face feel all dry and blah like a lot of face washes do. You can use code KAILEE to save 15% off too.
Last but for sure not least is this lash serum. My mom has been using it on her lashes and they look so good!! I cannot wait to try it and see my results. It is super easy to use and I love that it makes your lashes look even better with just mascara.Such a great gift idea for a teen that is just getting into makeup and wants longer lashes. KAILEE20 gets you 20% off.
I hope this fun TEEN gift guide helps you find the perfect gift ideas!! Stay tuned for the rest of our gift guides for your whole family coming next week, and check out more teen gift suggestions from you guys below!
:: YOUR TEEN GIFT SUGGESTIONS ::
:: polaroid camera with printer – I have one of these cameras and LOVE it! Being able to print your own photos to decorate your room with or have around is so much fun too!
:: purse or wallet with gift cards – I love this idea! Having gift cards to be able to go out and grab a cookie or soda with my friends is so fun. This bag is so cute!!
:: room decor – I am pretty sure it is safe to say all teens love to be able to decorate their own space with their style. A couple of your ideas were string lights (dying to get some of these), a hanging chair ( I love mine!), planters/plants, light projector, or some cozy blankets.
:: gel nail light + polish – This is such a good idea! I use my mom’s all the time and love doing them with friends. This is the light we have and the polish we think works best.
:: gel pens + a journal – I love to doodle so I thought this was such a fun idea. Gel pens are always fun. The journal suggestions were this one and this one.
:: makeup + perfume – I love getting new makeup to try, even though I only use the basics so far. Something like my favorite lip gloss or mascara would be a great idea for a teen. Perfume is another fun one lots suggested.
:: dyson blow dryer dupe – I didn’t even know this existed but I’ve always wanted to try the expensive one. I would love this blow dryer as a gift and think most teens would!
:: shopping or spa day – um yes please!! Going shopping with my mom or getting a mani/pedi would be something I would LOVE!
:: lululemon anything – you know I won’t say no to this one. I’ve tried a few of my moms tanks and LOVE them. They have cute biker shorts I have my eye on too.
:: music subscription – I love listening to my music and being able to download my favorites. A subscription like apple, amazon, or spotify would be a great gift.
You know the saying Christmas came early?! Well Walmart is pretty much making that a reality with their Deals for Days sales! Starting now, you can shop Black Friday prices on fashion for the whole family! There are deals on everything from dresses + shoes to loungewear + graphic tees. But they are only for a limited time so you have to act fast! I’ve made it easy on you by highlight a bunch of my very favorite items that are up to 30% off below!

If you follow along over on Instagram, you know I have been crushing on great dresses for Fall and Walmart has been one of my favorite places to find them at more affordable prices! I got this one a couple weeks ago and am loving the fit of it! You can shop the other options I’ve shared above for up to 30% off as part of the Deals for Days sale!
:: GRAPHIC TEES
One of my go to closet staples is a graphic tee. I love that they are so versatile. You can style them relaxed with some jeans and sneakers, or dress it up and tie it with a skirt. There are so many options. Walmart is a great place to find graphic tees, especially band tees. They usually run around $15-$20 and you can find some great options in the mens section too!
:: TOPS + JACKETS
I have been on the hunt for the perfect fall blazer and this one just might be it! I just ordered it with Walmart’s 2 day shipping and can’t wait to style it for you. Fall is a great time to stock up on classic sweaters as well, and I am loving these options!
:: SHOES
Last but not least is shoes! I am pretty picky when it comes to shoes and don’t like to overcrowd my closet. But Fall calls for some great staple boots and the Days of Deals includes some great options!
. . .
