Happy Monday! We had a cold snap the last few days here in Charleston. My family thinks I’m crazy but cooler crisp air just feels so refreshing to me, as long as I’m dressed for it that is. I’ve been wearing layers for my neighborhood walks and this Cotopaxi fleece jacket from Backcountry is my new fave. I first discovered Cotopaxi last fall when I bought their hooded down jacket and I’ve been a big fan of the brand ever since. I love all of the colors they use in their collection. I have a lot of great Holiday gift ideas for outdoor lovers in this post! If you are a new Backcountry customer then use code LOOKLINGERLOVE for 15% off full-priced items on your first order (exclusions apply).
My leggings are by Prana and are nice and thick and sturdy. Does anyone else keep both summer leggings and winter leggings?
I’ll always love my over the ears headphones but I thought it might be time to get a pair of wireless ear buds. These headphones are by Skullcandy and I love them! They suction right in there and stay!! My Raen sunglasses are polarized and come in a lot of color options!
In that close up photo I love that you can see the blue lining of my jacket – I love that detail. My sneakers are by Veja and I really like their slim classic profile.
That skullcandy headphones case is the charger for the ear pieces, too! You just put the ear pieces in their slots and they charge. So easy and organized! Here are more ideas for everyone on your list who loves to spend time outdoors!
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!
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!
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).
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!!
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!
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.
And to give you a good idea of all of the amazing things on Backcountry, here is a holiday gift guide for all the outdoorsy people in your life! There is something for everyone here!
25 More Gift Ideas:
Portable Power Station: A portable generator that works for power outages as well as campsite needs! This would make a gift!
Fly Fishing Rod: For those fishing enthusiasts in your life!
2 Person Tent: This tent comes quipped with extreme shield coating.
Kids Bike: If your kids are like mine they seem to need a new bike every year!
Polarized Sunglasses: I love the look of these and they make a great stocking stuffer!
Sunseeker Side Wall: Great for festivals, camping, tailgating, and road trips!
Backcountry carries the best outdoor brands and products– from Arc’teryx, Patagonia, Fjallraven, Free People, and more! They have hundreds of “gearheads” (love that name!) available 24/7 (via chat, email, and phone) who are there to help you find exactly what you need for your next adventure or activity. They’re former Olympians (!!), athletes, and guides who have a ton of expertise and knowledge and can steer you towards the best gear for your needs, as well as process exchanges & returns, and provide updates on order status. Backcountry also cares about giving back and has partnered with The Nature Conservancy since 2008 to support its mission of protecting the lands and waters on which all life depends.

I love putting together Holiday Gift Guides, and my most favorite one to pull together is always the one For Her. For your mom, your sister, a friend, the hostess with the mostest, all the hard working teachers, yourself (cough cough). It’s the easiest gift guide for me to pull together because it’s comprised of things that I love! All of the gift ideas in today’s gift guide are from Nordstrom and all 26 ideas vary in price! Lots of ideas under $30 and also some luxury gift ideas thrown in there, too!
Speaking of luxurious ideas, after eyeing this Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer for about 2-3 years, I finally went for it. You guys. This hair dryer is NOT over hyped like I always told myself it likely was. It is like a machine from the future. And I can never go back now. It dries my hair so fast, and is quieter than my old hair dryer. It is an investment that I do not regret!
Grey Pullover – This is the pullover that people write me about to say they bought it and love it so much!!
Nécessaire Body Lotion – I have a lot of body lotions I switch between but this is the one I use the most. It’s light, but very moisturizing, and I like that it has no scent.
Drybar Straightening Brush – A heated brush for straightening you hair, easy to pack for travel as well.
Smeg Coffee Maker – How gorgeous would this baby blue coffee and espresso maker be on the countertop?! It just brings joy.
Self Watering Indoor Garden – I’ve included this in another gift guide but I think it’s such a fun gift for anyone on your list!
RMS Lipstick Set – I have this little set and use them all. Each shade is sheer and buildable so they all work well on many skin tones.
Otherland Candle – The design of this candle brand is just so good, and I’m a sucker for pretty things.
Massage Device – Have you noticed that everyone is talking about this massage device? I’m intrigued!
Dyson Airwrap – This is also on my wish list. My friend has it and swears it is just the best tool and is so easy to use, and I have to say her hair always looks perfect.
Self Tan Face Drops – I’m almost to the end of my bottle of this and need to order a new jar. These are so great because you just mix a few drops in with your serum or face oil and it works instantly!
Pink Faux Orchid – You all know how much I love these. Mine is white, but I’d like a pink one, too!
Pink Chef’s Knife – Okay I never knew that I needed a pink chef’s knife, but I need a pink chef’s knife!
Handheld Blender – Cute and handy and easier to just pull out of your utensil drawer instead of pulling down your big bulky blender!
Cotopaxi Down Jacket – I have one of these jacket (in the teal color) and have been wearing it on my sunset walks! Super soft and thin but filled with down so it’s really warm and cozy. They are water repellent, too!
Blue Silicone Utensils – I gravitate to my silicone utensils when cooking, they’re so easy to clean!
Neulash Serum – I have this and it WORKS (when I remember to use it). Again, the trick is to use it daily.
Pink Bala Bangles – I have these in blue too and they’re really nice to throw on for a little extra something during your workout or walk!
Bamboo Cutting Board – Okayyy, this cutting board has a little spot for your phone! How fun!
Black Cardigan – I love this cardigan and had the hardest time choosing which color to feature in this guide!
Dutch Oven – Perfect for warm winter dishes, which we are all bound to be making more of this year!
Blueland Cleaning Kit – And this one is even a gift for Mother Earth, because this cleaning kit is all about re-using. You just fill the reusable glass bottles with water and drop in the blueland tablet!

I LOVE today’s Holiday Gift Guide! Everything here is something to be used every day but elevated and special. 19 little (or big) luxuries worthy of gift giving.
Espresso Maker – Make your very favorite coffee in the comfort of your own home! This one is a little splurgy but when you consider what a daily stop at your coffee shop costs it would pay for itself quickly!
Function Of Beauty – Lilly and I both LOVE Function of Beauty. You customize your own set for your own hair needs and the colors and scents are the most delightful. They even print it with your name “Function of Chassity”!
Velvet House Shoes – New line I love, I want every color and to be fancy and special and comfy at home, too.
Floral Mask Pack – This may be new to the necessity list, but masks are pretty critical these days. Might as well be cute.
Molecule Air Purifier – Destroys allergens, bacteria, mold viruses! Great for bedrooms, too!
Grilling Table Hub – Again a little splurgy, but pretty awesome for those guys who are hard to buy for. This innovative grill give the flavor of charcoal with the ease and speed of gas grilling.
Foam Pillow – I’m a convert. Fletch is, too. And now Lilly and Josh want foam pillows for Christmas as well. They’re the best and just give so much more support.
Butter Spreader – Okay this thing is awesome. The kitchen tool I never even knew that I needed.
Brightland Olive Oil – Okay trust me once you use this oil oil you won’t be able to go back. Plus they look so pretty on a shelf, it just makes me happy. I give these as gifts a lot!
Wooden Cheese Knives – A perfect gift for anyone and under $30! I might have to gift this set to myself this year.
Chinese Money Plant – A plant is always a great gift idea, and this one has the added wish of luck in the new year :)
Blue Nesting Bowls – EVERYONE could use a fresh (and pretty!!) set of storage bowls.
Silk Pillow Case – I love my silk pillow case, it’s so soft and luxurious, is easy on your skin, and helps tame frizzy hair!
Spaghetti Spoon – This comes in a range of pretty kitchen colors and is made of silicone and is dishwasher safe. Another great stocking stuffer idea.
The Poppy – I got this Olive & June tool this year and it’s a game changer for manicures. And really, the whole line of polish is just so so good. Not watered down like some, and the shades are just all SPOT ON. One of my favorite new brands this year.
