Wow – sorry for a few quiet days! What a whirlwind.
Since we’re so near to Christmas (I can’t believe it’s this weekend), I thought I would wrap up the gift guides and provide a recap of what I’ve got so far. AND if you hadn’t noticed, since I’ve been inspired by Christmas carols, you’ll notice that I now have a (short) Christmas mix to go with it (and here’s an extended Christmas Caroling mix on Spotify).
1. Ye Merry Gentlemen :: Gift for the Guys
2. Little St. Nick :: St. Nick’s Day + Stocking Stuffers
3. Let it Snow! :: Snow inspired gifts (mostly for girls)
4. Deck the Halls :: For the home and hostess
5. Seasons of Love :: Gifts for special ladies
6. Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town :: Gifts for the kiddies
7. Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree :: Ornaments galore!
AND don’t forget about my fellow blogger ladies’ Stock Your Stash guides.
My mom has given each of us kids a new ornament for Christmas for as long as I can remember (and still does). Sometimes they would be significant to whatever happened in that year, sometimes they were just fun ornaments that we might like. The idea was that each of us would get to take our ornaments when we started decorating our own Christmas trees.
So for this set of holiday gift inspiration I’m Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree. Mostly ornaments, but I’ve added a tree skirt since that’s on my list of things that I need for holiday decorating, and it is tree related.
Top row, left to right: Mustachio, $9. Hello Kitty, $14. Laser Cut Design, $12.
Middle row: Vintage Glass Hedge Hog, $14. Angel Treetopper, $118. Muppets!, $10.
Bottom row: Ruffled Tree Skirt (This would be SO easy to make!), $90. Pizza Box, $20. Felted Owl, $12.50.

Rock on…
I’m not a parent, but I am the aunt of 6 nieces and nephews that range from 2 to 7. And so, I wanted to pull together gift ideas that I, as an aunt, would send to my favorite little people for Christmas. So here’s a few ideas that could be sent to little boys or girls, or to share among each other since Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town!
Top row, left to right: Portable Ping Pong Set, $40. Katy and the Big Snow book, $6.99. Repurposed Animal Hats, $35 each.
Middle row: Season 2 of the Muppet Show, $20.99. Air Flyer Remote Control Sea Life, $30. Fairy Plush Toys, $11.
Bottom row: Draw Your Own Race Track, $16. Angry Birds Board Game, $27. The Grinch Plush Toy ($20) + Book ($20).
And I also thought this book would be a cute gift for parents of your favorite kiddies.
Hopefully your shopping is shaping up! Just a few more days of gift inspiration, so stay tuned!
