No matter what guy you are shopping for it can always seem tough to get the right gift for them. Guys can range from not caring about a holiday gift to being particular and difficult to shop for. One of my favorite rules to follow? Buy them something they wouldn’t buy themselves. Most of the men in my life do without and don’t really indulge in themselves, so I love to give gifts that will be useful to them and something they wouldn’t really buy themselves. Give a gif that makes their life easier, makes a process or activity they do more streamlined or outfit their favorite hobby. My husband loves golf so I usually have a few backup gifts in that realm to gift him if I don’t find something great right away.
This year has been a tough one for everyone. One of the things I have loved is bringing different items for comfort into our home. Whether that is a blanket, cozy socks or something to bring some peace to what feels like a chaotic year, these items are something that everyone can use and love this season. Pampering ourselves and others is a great way to give a thoughtful and useful gift.
If y’all know my husband and I personally, you know he is an avid golfer. Most of my family is actually so it was a no-brainer to put together a gift guide for those that love to golf. There is a great variety of price range in the items below and differing levels of interest whether your person is just starting out or loves to play all the time and wants all the gadgets. Some of my husband, Kollin’s, favorites? The walking cart, groove sharpener, a Titleist hat, and travel bag. Not sure what they would want? A pack of golf balls as an easy gift they will love since they can never have too many!
One of the gifts I love to give during the holidays is a personalized one. I’ve always been a fan of monograms, adding a personal touch, handwritten notes and making someone feel that a gift has just that small something extra to it. Whether you’re shopping for a girlfriend, a newly engaged or married couple or yourself and want to bring a little extra something to your gift, the below selections are great for any occasion. Be sure to check the shipping arrival time to make sure you can get it in time for the holidays! Sometimes it can take extra time to process personalized gifts. Another note, most personalized items are non-returnable.
Hey Y’all! I don’t know about y’all, but parents and in laws are always the hardest for me every holiday season. Since we got married last year it was easy to include something from that moment for our parents like a framed wedding portrait or sentimental gift to remember that day. Getting creative for your parents can be difficult because sometimes to me it feels like they have everything they need. They’re your parents and know everything right?! Well, they deserve to spoiled too and most of the time, at least in my experience, don’t spend too much on themselves since they’re worried about making everyone else’s holiday great. Below are some gifts I think they would love!

I’m so excited to be sharing a new hair tools and beauty brand with y’all! I recently partnered with Aashi Beauty to try out their 3-in-1 Curling Revolver and was so impressed with the quality, branding, the people behind the brand and can we talk about how cute their products are?! Here’s a bit about the brand:
From their site, “The word Aashi originates from India and it means to smile. Our brand centers around this which is why we endeavor to satisfy our customers as their smile is our reward.” Aashi Beauty creates high quality and affordable hair extensions, innovative styling tools, and vegan cosmetics! For today’s purposes we are talking styling tools.
Let’s get into the details.
Aashi Beauty was so kind to gift me the 3-in-1 Curling Revolver, a 25mm / 1" Marcel, Clamp, and Wand in one! This beauty evenly distributes instant heat technology for styling versatility for all types of hair, creating long lasting curls and waves frizz free. The head of the curling iron rotates so that it takes all the work out of your wrist while curling. Feel more comfortable with your current routine? The iron can lock and be used as a traditional curling iron or curling wand - whichever you prefer! I’ve used it all three ways and found each has their benefits, but here’s a quick breakdown on the advantages:
Marcel (rotating clamp): this saves a lot of energy that can go into your curling routine. While you would normally twist the entire iron to get that curl, now you can just twist the barrel and add some simplicity to your routine.
Curling Wand: for me, this is the fastest way I curl my hair. Simply wrap your hair around the barrel (clamp down) and hold for a few seconds for effortless curls.
Traditional Clamp Curling Iron: the benefit of this is that if you are used to using a curling iron then you’ll love this way to use it since it is familiar. The amazing quality will add sleek and anti-frizz technology to your routine making curling even easier.

HOME TECH
I’ve loved adding technology into my home to make life easier and more efficient. Some of my favorites? Of course Amazon Alexa, a robot vacuum and Bluetooth speakers. I also can’t forget our most used Amazon item - the Firestick. Similar to Apple TV (but better in my opinion), you’ll have access to apps, music, all Amazon content and more!
