Nanny to Mommy

So every year, my family asks me: "What do you want for Christmas?" I like a wide range of things, so I guess that can make it hard for some to shop for. I like beauty products and nerdy stuff. I also like "basic" things like screen printed shirts, coffee, and leggings. I thought I would put together a gift idea list to help anyone who is struggling on what to get the lady in their life.

Some items were received for consideration. This post contains affiliate links.

Tips to Self Care in Mom Life

I received complimentary products from Hammacher Schlemmer to provide this post. All opinions are my own.

From Christmas Trees to awesome Gift Ideas, Hammacher Schlemmer has it all! I have absolutely loved working them in years past for my Holiday Gift Guide and each year I have so much trouble choosing because they have so many great items!


This year I received the Disney Christmas Carousel Tree. This is the tabletop Christmas tree that shows more than 50 beloved Disney characters celebrating the holidays with movement, music, and lights. Topped by a rotating sleigh with Mickey Mouse at the helm and Pluto leading a team of reindeer, the intricate decoration depicts 10 hand-painted illuminated scenes unfolding along four tiers of snowy boughs.

I am so thankful for the opportunities I have received this year. And I love when I can work with a brand that I love again. JORD makes hand-crafted wood timepieces that are create a since of style even when the wearer doesn't really have any. So when I received the opportunity to work with JORD again, I knew I wanted to get my father-in-law a quality wood watch so he could really step up his style game.

I partnered with The Hopping Bloggers for this sponsored Holiday Gift Guide.

I have collaborated with The Hopping Bloggers to bring you a great list of gift ideas that the whole family will enjoy! This list not only includes products, but experiences and educational services as well. It also includes for grandparents as well as decorations too! Seriously this list has it all!

Sometimes (at least for me) it can be hard to buy gifts for grandma and grandpa. What do you buy for someone who has everything or limited space?

GrandBox is the original monthly subscription box customized and curated specifically for seniors 65 and up. Every month, the GrandBox team creates a new theme to build each box around. Every theme and product is meant to bring joy to your loved one. From Route 66 to Back-to-School to A Day at the Spa, they make sure that each box will be a delightful surprise. Their team has the experience and knowledge to know what grandparents will love. It's the perfect gift to bring a smile to the older loved ones in your life and have them talking about their GrandBox for days.

I have been a fan of ABCmouse.com since 2012. Recently I contacted them about adding their program in my Annual Holiday Gift Guide because I love giving the gift of fun education to my children.

ABCmouse.com is an early learning software developed by Age of Learning, Inc. for the purpose of using technology to educate children through a full online curriculum. The current program will benefit children ages two through second grade with curriculum created by a board of teachers and educational experts from a variety of fields including science and history.

When it comes to the holidays, I love getting in the spirit. Between decorating, sending out holiday cards, attending activities, baking Santa cookies, creating memorable craft gifts, drinking hot cocoa by a warm fire, or dressing festively - I love everything that the holidays bring. This is a list I have compiled with a little bit of everything to enjoy the holidays.

If you are like me, then you have trouble finding something to buy for the guy in your life. I never know what to get! For our Annual Holiday Gift Guide, I have joined forces with some amazing bloggers to bring you the ultimate gift giving ideas. We will be featuring Gifts for Her, Kids, Family, Geeks, and a Little Bit of Everything, but this featurette is all about HIM! This year get the guy in your life something he needs and will use. This list includes types of gifts for every type of guy and others as well.

Since my husband has been losing weight and taking better care of himself, he has been feeling better and wants to show that. He has been exploring more wardrobe options, but he doesn't want to sacrifice comfort.

When Sweat Tailor set out to create the perfect pair of pant, it had to combine style and comfort without sacrificing any part of it. That's why it makes a great gift for the guy in your life whether they are already stylish or you would like them to be more stylish. My husband says these clothes are very comfortable.

It is getting that time of year! Holiday Gift Guide season. Today I'm bringing you a brand that I have  worked with me in the past and absolutely love!

Lottie, Finn and Friends are inspired by real kids. Arklu believes that childhood should be an inclusive place where every child belongs regardless of gender, ethnicity, or ability and aim to reflect that in their collection.

To, date - six of the Lottie products to date have been inspired by ideas from real children!
