With several nieces and nephews ranging in age from one to fifteen, I have quite a bit of shopping to do. I especially enjoy shopping for the little ones, so this gift guide was curated with them in mind. There are so many fun toys this year. I’m especially smitten for the Star Wars Crochet Kit and talking Chewbacca. So adorable!
And a few more gifts for the little ones in your life…

Happy December! The first day of the month is always exciting for me, but I’m especially loving this first day of December. It marks the beginning of advent. A count down to Christmas Day. Advent calendars have been a family tradition that I’ve passed down to my own family. This year we even have two advent calendars – one that hangs on the wall that doesn’t have any treats and another my girls talked me into getting at Starbucks seen above (I’m such a sucker!). Here are some other fun advent calendars to buy or make!
How cute is this knit stocking garland idea from Pottery Barn? Such a fun way to decorate the mantel while counting down the days?
Create a tiny holiday village for the tabletop or mantel with this whimsical kit that includes folding houses, festive jokes & facts inside, and embellishments. A simply adorable way to celebrate advent! It’s also on sale here.
This colorful advent calendar gives a modern twist on the traditional tradition. I also love that it allows you to tuck away love notes, tasty treats and small trinkets. So fun!
Making your own advent calendar doesn’t have to be overly complicated either. I love this version by Oh Happy Day using non-traditional bright neon ribbons!
Crafty and have the time? Here’s an advent calendar pattern features stunning wool felt you hand stitch to complete. Loving all of the vintage ornaments on this modern Christmas countdown.
This DIY advent calendar also looks like some work to achieve, but boy is it cute!
And how adorable is this DIY plastic animal advent calendar by A Bubbly Life? I’m sure Rudolph is honored.
If you’re just about the treats, you’ll have to consider this decadentbox of truffles for every day of the Christmas countdown. Yum!

Decking the halls this week like me? We don’t have our tree yet, but I’m still starting to decorate our home for the holidays. Felt snowflakes, vintage-style ornaments and delicious scent candles are all part of the mix to make our home merry and bright this season.
Gifts for the home are always a welcome sight for all of the discerning chefs, stylish entertainers and decor lovers on your holiday list. With these folks in mind, I’ve hand-picked some fabulous items that I’ve been loving this season perfect for adding a chic touch to just about any room. From a stunning gray rope chair (splurge) to darling gold pineapple shot glasses (super affordable), there’s a variety of gift ideas ranging in price. I’m crossing my fingers Santa brings me one or two of these lovely items for my home!
