Mother's Day Wishlist

So I keep this running list on my phone of things I want/need and when Tate is asking for gift ideas I can just grab a few off there and send it to him. It's a very specific list - like where to get it, color, size - so it's completely fool proof for him. He does great at picking things out off my list as well as things that aren't. Today I thought I'd share a few of those things plus some things I'll be getting my mom as well. Mother's Day is next Sunday so you better get to shopping! 

one // How cute would this pillow be on her chair or bed?

two //  If she's into reading one of these books would be perfect! Balancing in Heels just arrived at my house and I've heard great things about The Rumor, or just about any Elin Hilderbrand book
.

three //  The other day while in Ulta getting Tate some crew for his hair I browsed through the perfumes. This one smelled so good that I wanted to leave with it right then!

four // These converse have been on my list for a while now and with softball and 7 on 7 football coming up, they would be the perfect comfy yet cute shoe to wear!

five // The Rodan + Fields self tanner has quickly become my favorite! The color is fantastic and the price is super affordable.

six // How cute is this bag from Charming Charlies? I love this color and it is the perfect spring staple!

seven // A mini polaroid camera  - enough said! This little gadget would be so much fun! Brylee and I would probably spend way too much money on film from using it too much.

eight // I have wanted a Stella and Dot engraved necklace for quite some time now. Wearing 'Brylee' on my neck would always make me smile.

nine // I love my Kate Spade studs so much. In fact, I'm wearing the multi glitter today. I think the mini studs would be so cute and simple! And by the way, while browsing online at Charming Charlies, I found this cheaper version of the regular size Kate Spade studs. I mean, $5! What?

ten // I need want these sandals so bad! I've been eyeing them for so long and just haven't bought them yet. I hear they are super comfy and they come in a ton of colors!

Along with these, a mani/pedi (go with her!), massage or a gift card to her favorite place would be great gifts as well!

I hope you have a few ideas now. Happy Friday Eve! 

Valentine's Day Gift Guide | Him

February is here, all things pink and red are up, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't already have Tate's Valentine's Day gift. Some people don't celebrate V-day and some love it! I think it's fun little holiday to show some love to your people. I shared my Gift Guide for Her (aka, my wishlist) so I thought I'd share a few things for the guys.

 And Tate, I don't even mind you reading this. :) 

Nike Dri-Fit Shirts | G-Shock Watch | Old Fashioned Glasses | North Face Fleece

Yeti Cup | Cards Against Humanity | Alarm Clock |

Under Armour Boxers | Shower Radio | Leather Catchall

1. Tate has a ton of dri-fit shirts so initially I didn't think it would be necessary to gift him another but because he does love them so much, some are faded and dingy or starting to snag. So, yes, this is a good idea. :)
2. He has almost this exact one. He calls it his 'in-between' watch. Not as dressy  as his good watch but a step up from his Fuel band.
3. Jack and coke is his preferred drink of choice, why not spiff it up a bit with these old fashioned glasses? And monogrammed? Yes, please!
4. I got one of these for Tate for Christmas and they don't disappoint. They're not too heavy but give enough warmth to skip the jacket. I highly suggest them and they're oh so soft!
5. They were so predictable and popular around Christmas that Tate didn't get one but I did happen to snag one for my dad's birthday and he loves it!
6. We played this game after the Sports Banquet with some friends and it's hilarious! It totally solidified the fact that we need to own it.
7. Alarm clock. Tate is the hardest person to wake up. He will snooze the alarm (if he actually hears it) on his phone for 30+ minutes before actually getting up. I think he would definitely hear this one plus it can second as a charger for his phone. Win win!
8. Boxers! Tate is super picky about his boxers! I went on a boxer shopping challenge to find his perfect match.. lol! I seriously went EVERYWHERE. Cheap pair, expensive pair and everything in between. Winners: Joe Boxer and Under Armour.
9. Seriously, your guy needs this! This was one of Tate's Christmas presents, and although I instantly regretted it after his first shower with it, he loves it! He always listened to music on his phone so when he had a bluetooth speaker in the shower that he can control and even answer calls, he was sold. It's like a private concert every morning and night for him. Ha!
10. Does anyone elses guy just walk in and empty his pockets on the table/nightstand/dresser or just all over the place? It drives me nuts! If he had this it gives all his stuff a neat little spot!

Other things: event tickets, movies, their favorite snacks and/or alcohol!

There ya have it - a few ideas for that special man. A big gift, few small gifts, a small gift with some mixed goodies; the options are endless. What's your favorite thing to get your husband/boyfriend/fiance? 

Come back tomorrow if you need ideas for the minis!
