I’m back with another Holiday Gift Guide, and hey at least I waited for November for this one!! This is for kids – both boys and girls – lots of ages covered!! Most all of these items are things my kids already own and love or want! I hope this helps you knock out some early shopping! :)

Oculus Virtual Reality Headset – Maybe one of the best gifts of the season – even I want to play! Our neighbors have this and love it!

Nightball Soccer Ball – It lights up for playing any time of day – the more you kick it the brighter it gets!

Gaming Chair – If he doesn’t already has one he probably wants one. This is maybe the best looking one I’ve seen.

Sohp Shop – Hand soap with a surprise hidden inside – it’s the perfect stocking stuffer!

Hoverboard – Again, if they don’t have it yet they probably want one. There are a ton of colors to choose from.

3D Printer – These are seriously one of the coolest toys ever!! And promotes creativity!

Wooden Connect Four Set – Pretty enough to sit out on the coffee table.

Science Kit – The Art of Color and Science Kit – how cool is this?

Echo Smart Speaker – Probably my kids favorite things in their rooms. “Alexa what’s the weather?” “Alexa play Olivia Rodrigo.” “Alexa tell me a joke.”

Jellyfish Night Light – My kids love theirs, it’s so mesmerizing to watch!

Scented Glitter Gel Pens – These are on Lilly’s wishlist!

Jewelry Kit – Creative AND fashion! The beads in this kit are so cute.

Foosball Table – This is on Fletcher’s wish list!

Polaroid Camera – Tiny and easy to bring along! I love the retro feel and there are a lot of color options!

Plush Cave Chair – I know an 11 year old girl who would love this for her bedroom.

Tennis Racquet Bag – I mean! Does it get cuter than this??

Full Size Arcade Game – Epic gift. Enough said.

Drop Wall Piggy Bank – This certainly makes saving change more fun. I think this would be great in a mudroom as well and save up for a family activity!!

Nintendo Switch – Because what kind of gift guide would this be if I didn’t put Fletcher’s number one favorite thing on here.

I never thought I’d start posting my Holiday Gift Guides in October but you guys, I’m getting nervous about the supply chain and shipping issues happening and so I have already started my holiday shopping – for the kids anyway. We cannot mess up there!! So I figured you guys might be in a similar position and that I’d go ahead and share Lilly’s holiday (and birthday) wish list, because there are sooo many fun and unique ideas on here. I want to be a kid again. Heck, I’d take a majority of these things for myself now. So here you go – my Holiday Gift Guide For Tweens! Happy Shopping!!

Holiday Gift Guide For Tweens

Function Of Beauty Hair Care – Personalized shampoo and conditioner made specifically for her! Take a hair quiz, pick your colors, personalize the label with your name – voila. This is one of Lilly’s favorite things.

Chappy Wrap Blanket – I promise you this will be her favorite blanket, you can’t beat them! PS I justttt might be working on a fun collaboration with them for 2022!

Bike Basket – Cute and functional for after school bike rides and freedom!

Studs Earrings – Our new favorite thing, Studs has THE most fun earring collection!

Glass Jewelry Shadow Box – Perfect for storing jewelry or other special items.

Cozy Swivel Chair – Okay this would be so much fun in her bedroom and there are a lot of colors to choose from!

Chicken Soup For The Girls Soul – I had every single one of these books when I was a kid. So excited to get this one for Lilly.

Record Portrait Art – It might be time to replace some of her “little girl” are pieces hanging on her wall.

Tennis Art – Okay this is on my wishlist, too!! But again, it’s time for some updated bedroom wall art!

Boba Tea Kit – Is anyone else’s kid obsessed with boba tea? Lilly would love this kit!

Athleta Leggings – Lilly has these in this color – loves! They’re buttery soft.

Millie Bobby Brown Peel Off Face Mask – Ever since stumbling upon Millie Bobby Brown’s new skincare and makeup line Lilly is obsessed! We recently started watching Stranger Things together so she’s a big 11 fan (yes I have to fast forward some spots).

Blow Drying Hair Brush – Such an easy and fun way to blow dry your hair! Here’s a cheaper version, too!

Fragrance Reed Diffuser – Lilly’s been asking for one of these so it’s on both her birthday and Christmas wishlists. I like that it’s not a candle that she could forget about.

Gabb Phone – Okay Lil already has one of these but I had to include because it’s her favorite thing she’s gotten all year long. A phone that calls, texts, has a camera, and a legit GPS. What it doesn’t have is internet or social media or games or apps. Yep :) Use code LLL10 for a discount – currently 30% off in October! They have watches, too!

Athleta Sweatshirt – Okay can you tell this is one of our favorite brands? They’re athletic wear is so cozy and soft!

Swivel Pinboard Mirror – This is so cool! You need to click over to really see it because this isn’t doing it justice, but it attaches to the wall and rotates so you have both your pinboard AND your full size mirror! Obsessed!!

Easter is just a quick 2 weeks away and some of the cutest things that I’ve been considering for my kids’ Easter baskets are starting to sell out! Why can’t everyone just be a procrastinator like me?? So today I’m rounding up my favorite finds for Easter baskets, some of these things would need to sit next to them due to size… I hope this helps you fill a fun and interesting basket :) Don’t forget the bunny gummies!!!

BOYS SEERSUCKER: Short sleeve seersucker is a summer staple (say that 5x fast).

TEIL GUITAR: It just doesn’t get cuter.

CONVERTABLE SNEAKERS: Kick the heel and the wheels pop out, instant roller skates.

Today is a great day because I get to partner with one of the coolest sites on the internet, and I mean that wholeheartedly. Backcountry is not just a pretty site to shop, it’s a group of really cool people working together and doing really cool things (more about that later in this post).

But back to the site, Backcountry is geared toward connecting with nature! They have everything from every day items for a walk in your neighborhood, to a hike on a new trail, to camping, to snow skiing, to surfing, to rock climbing, to fishing, to basically any activity you can do outside. Simply browsing their site motivates me. And their clothing is fashionable yet casual and functional. Like this pretty blue trench rain jacket! I love the belt tie to give a more defined waist. It’s currently on sale!

I’m also wearing their on the go ankle pants. They’re a breathable lightweight material that’s easy to move it and are really comfortable! These are actually the in house Backcountry brand which is currently up to 40% off right now through December 20th!

Wearing Above:

These Backcountry ankle pants are the sort of thing you can throw on for any sort of outdoor activity like a simple walk in the neighborhood or exploring the marsh with your kids! Here I’m wearing them with this Backcountry mock neck fleece pullover, which is also part of their big up to 40% off sale!

Backcountry has amazing brands like Patagonia, The North Face, and Cotopaxi! Lilly was due for a bigger winter coat and this red insulated coat is seriously the cutest. It’s good for snow skiing and sledding as well, which we just might have in our future this year! And how cute is her little convertible waist bag that she so cooly swings over her torso? I’m going to be borrowing that.

Wearing:

I hope you all had a really great and safe Halloween! Our’s was really nice and the kids had a great day. Here are a few photos!

We carved pumpkins Friday night. I’m wearing this pink top from Amazon.

Lilly on a little bike ride in her alien abduction costume. So funny! She wore this a few Halloweens ago and it never gets old.

Fletch dressed up as a dancing tube guy. Loved this costume SO much!!

Lilly’s costume this year was a burglar. Super easy and comfy to wear.

And I dressed up as Sadness from the movie Inside Out. Very hard to stay in this character! I’m wearing this wig and I was really impressed with the quality.

Have a great Sunday, Everyone!

In addition to my big back to school post last week I wanted to put together another round up, because let’s be honest, back to school shopping is just fun. Whether you’ve already started or not, or whether your e-learning from home or are indeed back in these classroom, new supplies just make getting organized and motivated way more fun!

Above, Lilly showcasing our number 1 VIP back to school supply, a chromebook. And below, 15 more fun finds like that cool wall hanger organizer for when you’re tight on space for your supplies!

Yes of course I included Sohp Shop Surprise Soap, washing hands has literally never been more important!! Every time we walk into our house we all go straight to a sink to wash our hands. And now with my shameless plug complete, protect those little eyes from too much screen time with the most adorable blue light blocking glasses!! My kids love wearing their’s. These masks are really cute and perfectly sized for kids.

And here below, how cool is this reversible flip sequin bulletin board? If Lilly didn’t already have one I’d want to get her this. And also this is a cool one for boys, Fletch loves having one in his room, too! He displays sports ribbons and photos and things!

And these magnetic strips with clips would be perfect for important information, all the papers that get sent home, A+ papers, and art!
