Gift Guide: The MIL

Gift Guides· Holidays

12 Nov

Gift guides. Each year around this time I debate whether or not to do gift guides. And if I do… who for? Every one on my list? Sheesh, I don’t think I could do that even if I had started in January. The boys are at an age where their gifts are not exciting unless you are a tween/ teen boy. Video games, electronics, team jerseys just to name a few. Also, Allen and I have been trying to give more “experiences” and trips because they don’t really need anything. Hollins is still fun to buy for but the family experiences include her too , obviously.

So this year I might get to a couple gift guides but nothing crazy. The one I’ll start with is my mother-in-law. My MIL is pretty easy to buy for and we like a lot of the same things. I’m sure there are the occasional mother-in-law that will never be happy but anything off this list is sure to be enjoy by most. This list contains something for every MIL. If she loves to cook, needs to relax, is cold all the time or likes to travel, there is something for her.

Great for cold airplanes!

1. Lite Travel Shawl

Classic Black & Gray throw for any room in her house.

2. Block Stripe Throw

Like butter, she will live in this!

3. Cozy Leopard Poncho

Perfect for opening gifts on Christmas morning!

4. Full Zip Robe

Sleep peacefully knowing this pillowcase is not giving you wrinkles or crazy bedhead.

5. Slip, Satin Pillowcase

Mist your silk (or any pillow) for a good night’s sleep.

6. Sleep Mist

Some of the warmest slippers you’ll try and if it’s snowy where you are… they are water resistant too.

7. Water Resistant Slippers

Great for travel or discovering your favorite scent.

8. Candle & Eau de Toilette Set

Great for a weekend with the grandkids!

9. Monogram Vegan Leather Tote

A diffuser that smells amazing and is beautiful too.

10. Cloche Diffuser

This cozy scarf could work for any one on your list. It’s festive and warm and looks good with everything.

11. Plaid Scarf

Who doesn’t need to relax at the end of a long day in a hot bubble bath?

12. Bubble Bath

Feels cool and great on your face before bed and in the morning.

13. Crystal Facial Roller

For all of her aches and pains and to keep you warm on cold nights. Just heat it and sneak it in the bed with you.

14. Hot & Cold Neck Wrap

Perfect for cold drives to visit friends & family.

15. Electric Car Blanket

Who doesn’t need a new coffee cup to take on the go?

16. Reusable Coffee Cup

17. Hand Warmer/ Portable Phone Charger

Super Simple recipes from Tieghan Gerard the goddess behind the Half Baked Harvest.

18. Super Simple Cookbook

The perfect travel bag for toiletries, make-up or even accessories.

19. Travel Makeup & Toiletry Bag

Allen got me one similar years ago and it’s still one of my favorites! it will be cherished forever.

20. Personalized Necklace

I hope this helps at least steer you in the right direction for your mother in law. that way Christmas will be a little smoother and more enjoyable for all!

Not quite what I’m wearing today, obviously because of the weather, but when the sun comes out (one day) I’ll definitely be putting this back on! My dress is on sale in a few colors. Just a warning- it’s pretty short so you might feel more comfortable putting it over tights or leggings. I’m 5’7”  for reference 🖤 📷 by @dkourtneyphoto

Ball-Drop Champagne Cocktail 🥂
1 oz Meyer lemon juice
1/2 - 1 oz  Grand Mariner or St. Germain
1 sugar cube
Prosecco 
Thyme
Honey/ Agave and Sprinkles for rim (optional)
✨Directions ✨
Add lemon juice and Grand Mariner or St. Germain to your champagne flute rimmed with gold or silver sprinkles. Add sugar cube and fill glass with Prosecco. Stir gently and add sprig of thyme. Cheers 🍾 to 2021 y’all! 

I made the liquor in this with 2 different ones because some people don’t like St. Germain at all. Grand Mariner is a great alternative.

My [current] favorite sweater is under $45 and comes in lots of great colors! I think I have it 4 colors because it’s just so easy to throw on with leggings or jeans.
