One of my absolute favorite parts of the holidays is shopping for gifts, wrapping gifts, and on Christmas morning, watching loved ones open these gifts. Robbie and I host my family at our place, and we make a bit of a production out of each person individually unwrapping his/her presents by the fire while drinking hot chocolate and mimosas. We take the time (sometimes a little excessively, I'll admit), to enjoy each gift one at a time (something that will undoubtedly change once baby is born and old enough to unwrap presents of her own!). We also have an agreement not to spend a lot of money, so although there may be a bigger, more practical gift or two thrown in there, it's more about fun, smaller gifts that fit each person's personality. For today's holiday gift guide, I'm sharing a round-up of the type of presents I'll be giving this year (including a couple that I may have already purchased - shhhhh!). The best part is that they're all under $25.
Have you started your holiday shopping? Do you focus on smaller, fun presents, or do you go for the bigger, more practical gifts?
Those are so fun! LOVE the salad servers
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I love the triangle earrings and the salad servers!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing collection of beautiful things, and I also love that some are practical! This year I'll only get my parents and brother gifts, so I'll probably get the something small and no too practical (;
ReplyDeleteFun items! I totally love the card game :)
ReplyDeleteOver here we open gifts on Christmas Eve!
Duni, so do we here in Colombia!! I also thought that was strange when I went to Germany and we opened the presents on Christmas eve like in my country! :)
Deletelove this, the hangover cookbook would be a treat for my roomies and I! Love that puppy pillow as well :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the instagram magnet set and the leather journal. =0)
ReplyDeleteGreat picks!
these are such great choices. we prefer small meaningful gifts over excessive expensive ones too.
ReplyDeleteSo many great things here. The tea towels are going on my wishlist immediately. :) And thanks so much for including my fox brooch!! xoxo
ReplyDeletelove the gift ideas!!
ReplyDeleteI like the animals :-)
ReplyDeleteHa.Ha. The Hungover Cookbook --- where was that when I was in college??!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feature! :) We do both- the kids tend to get one big thing and then there's some smaller things too, especially for the stockings.
ReplyDeletenice, great ideas, cute ideas :)

We've done the magnets from Stickygram and looooove them!
ReplyDeleteWe do the one-gift-at-a-time thing with my side of the family, too. My husband's side kind of does it... but not really. It's a bummer, because I like to see what everybody got!
Very cute ideas. Thanks for sharing!
