Who are you shopping for (and potentially spoiling!) this month? We don’t have a ton of summer birthdays in our families, but recently we’ve been cranking out wedding and baby gifts like crazy, which I actually thoroughly enjoy because I love poking around at peoples’ registries!
Have you dug through the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale yet? It’s been open to the public for about a week, and they have some killer deals on exceptional-quality items! Last year I purchased and , and they’ve remained two staples in my closet that I know I’ll continue to wear for years to come. This year I only snagged since I truthfully don’t need much, and I’m super satisfied with my purchase. I’d read they were akin to the quality of Lululemon, and after putting them on a couple of times, I actually like them even better than my Lululemon leggings. Definite score!
I hope this month’s gift guide inspires your upcoming purchases for your loved ones or maybe even for yourself. 🙂
For someone’s home
($24.90) – I gifted these coasters a few months ago, and they’re impressively nice for coasters! Available in all 50 states.
($38.90) – Cozy and pretty! Win win! Available in 15 colors.
($31.90) – I can see serving wine in these glasses and making your recipient smile every single time. I so want these!
For her
($49.90) – You can never got wrong with gifting Kendra!
($49.50) – At a $162 value, this is a killer deal on makeup brushes! I’ve had some of my MAC brushes for five years. If cleaned and cared for, they last forever!
($35.90) – As aforementioned, these leggings were my one purchase from the sale this year, and I’m very, very happy with them!
For him
($39.90) – I love these and think Jamie would too. He loves ‘everyday’ shoes that he can throw on for a million functions.
($38.90) – Jamie has a couple tops very similar to this that he’s lived in the last few years. He loves them so much that he gifted one to my dad and his dad, who both also love this kind of top!
($45.90) – NON-IRON. Duh.
For the kids
($25.90) – We gifted Hadley a cozy bathrobe last year for Christmas, and it was one of her favorite gifts. She wears it every night after her bath. 🙂
($32.90) – After having two of my own babies, I can attest that I would have loved receiving something like this when I was pregnant or freshly postpartum.
($38.40) – We grew up playing with my parent’s croquet set and thought it was so much fun. I almost purchased this set but want to ask my parents if they still have theirs… and if I can steal it. 😉
And a few things on my own wish list…
($74.25) – I told Jamie that this is the number one thing on my Christmas/birthday list for the upcoming holiday season. I live in stuff like this in the winter!
($58.90) – Because soft and cute pajamas feel like such a treat.
($32.90) – Considering how much we enjoy entertaining, we really need to add a cheese plate to our stash of entertainment pieces.
($35.90) – I love the relaxed but put-together look of this blazer.
Let’s chat!
Did you have a huge score from the sale? I’d love to hear!
Hi! I’m Erica, and I absolutely adore sharing my life on this website with you! I come here almost daily to blab about all of the things related to being a regular wife and mother in today’s ever-evolving society. I share about our new home, what’s on our kitchen table, what we’re hanging in our closets, where we’re traveling to next, my crazy 5 a.m. work outs, how I make time for girlfriends, our faith, and much more. We always have a lot of balls in the air and somewhat thrive on the chaos. I believe in the power of story-telling as a form of inspiration and entertainment, so I’m here to do both! I was born and raised in north Alabama and recently re-planted roots here again after my husband transitioned out of the Army (he is now in the Reserve and it’s going so well!) I’m a super proud mom to three little girls (ages 7, 4, and 1) who seem to be the stars of the show around here (for good reason – they’re pretty great!) I’m so glad you found me and are here reading! I hope we can get to know each other here on the blog as well as Facebook and/or Instagram. xoxo
