Faith & FamilyMy Favorite Picks for Christmas December 1, 2016There are so many reasons I love the Christmas season. I know I’ve said it before, but gifts are my love language. While that’s definitely not the main thing this season is about for us, I love spreading love and cheer by picking out just the right gift for those around me! Today, I decided to share a little gift guide filled my with my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE things. I was really, really picky about what I put on this baby. Some of these things I already own and use on a daily basis! Some are things that are definitely on my wish list and I hope to be adding soon. 1. HoneyHiveFive Small Roller Bottle Case | 2. Whimsy and Wellness Gold Roller Bottles | 3. Green Hunter Boots | 4. Winter Hat with Fur | 5. Berry Woven Mittens | 6. Stillwell Style Tassel Earrings |7. My Favorite Velvet Pillows | 8. My Favorite Christmas Plates | 9. Young Living Premium Starter Kit | 10. Wine Maternity Parka with Fur Hood | 11. HoneyHiveFive Essential Oil Bottle Bag | 12. Stillwell Style Agate Necklace | 13. Quill & Fox Christmas Towel 1. HoneyHiveFive Small Roller Bottle Case – We use so many essential oils on a daily basis and I always carry a variety with me. I’m embaressed to say I’ve been carting those babies around in ziplog bags! I’ve had my eye on these oil carriers for awhile. I’m starting to get more into creating my own roll-ons with my own mix of oils. They’re so easy and ready to just roll-on for different uses. This sweet little bag stores 6 roll-ons and is the perfect size to throw in any bag and carry with you, so they’re always handy! With kids, especially, having these on hand is perfect. And it doesn’t hurt that their bags come in such great fabrics like this gorgeous blue floral! 2. Whimsy and Wellness Gold Roller Bottles – Like I said, getting into making my own roll-ons is at the top of my list right now. For a lot of different things, I mix several oils together and while you can do that in your palm, if it’s a mixture you use a lot like I do, having it already made up in an easily portable roll-on is so easy! I’m so in love with these gold roller bottles! Not only are they super cute, but I love the words that come on these: Sleep, Focus, Immunity, Owie, Calm….exactly what rollers I’d mix up! They do make custom ones where you can choose your own labels, but these are the exact ones I’d make first. 3. Green Hunter Boots – These green Hunter boots are such a classic and have had them on my list forever! Great for rain, snow, or just cold weather. 4. Winter Hat with Fur – I love the cute mix of winter hats that are around now and love throwing these on when we’re out and about in the winter months. This one is such a cute color and I love the little fur poof. Old Navy has so many cute ones! 5. Berry Woven Mittens – I literally wear mittens so much of the winter. One of my least favorite things is getting to the car in the winter and driving around with freezing hands until the car warms up. First world problems, I know. But having a cute pair of mittens fixes that right up. I absolutely love the color of these! 6. Stillwell Style Tassel Earrings – I’ve talked about my girl’s amazing business, Stillwell Style, before. But I had to share it here. These tassel earrings are one of my absolute favorite things I own. They come in a variety of colors and she uses 14-carat gold plated hooks, so there shouldn’t be any issues with allergies. I’ve gotten to where I can’t stand to wear any “non-real” earrings anymore. My ears hurt and itch so bad all day! So I really quit wearing earrings until she started making these! They’re the first pair I’ve found in awhile that I can wear all day and not be bothered by! I have two different colors and wear them more than once every single week! They’re amazing! 7. My Favorite Velvet Pillows – Since H&M came out with their home line, I’ve loved their velvet pillows. They come in the most beautiful colors and are soooo cheap, y’all! I’ve fallen in love with these dark green ones and may be adding them to our house for Christmas! 8. My Favorite Christmas Plates – I’ve been on the hunt for some Christmas dishes since we got married. I didn’t really want a whole, huge set, but rather something I could mix and match. And I wanted something with the playful, whimsical feel I love….but pretty of course! When Anthro came out with these this year, I couldn’t beleive it! I love them so much. They’re exactly what I’ve been looking for! I love all of the patterns, but I think the snow globes are my favorite! I can just picture them layered over a red plaid plate and think we’ll be loving on these for years to come! 9. Young Living Premium Starter Kit – As I’ve said, these oils have changed how we do everyday life. They’ve given us such peace about what we’re using and the health changes we’ve seen as a result blow my mind every day. Signing up for this kit and starting to live the oily lifestyle is one of the single-best decisions we’ve made, so I have to include it here in my top picks. We use it more than anything else! You can read more about our natural living story here and get your kit here (page with some info, scroll to bottom to sign up). 10. Wine Maternity Parka with Fur Hood – Even though this isn’t my first baby, the timing is a bit different and I don’t have a maternity coat from last time around. Since this baby is due in April, I’ll go all winter not being able to fit into any of my coats! So many pregnant ladies have said they didn’t need one because they were so hot the whole time, but I haven’t really experienced that. While I definitely have hot flashes, I’m very cold-natured most of the time. I love the color of this one and that fur hood! 11. HoneyHiveFive Essential Oil Bottle Bag – This bag right here is on the top of my list. You can choose different sizes…I’d probably go with the one that holds 8 bottles or so because that’s how many I usually carry around town, but especially on trips! It has an insert inside to hold them all in place. Just like the roller-bottle case, I love the gorgeous pattern of this one! And it can be monogrammed, which makes it even cuter to me. 11. Stillwell Style Agate Necklace – Another of my Stillwell Style favorites is her agate collection. I wear my cream beads and green agate necklace so often and I absolutely love these! All of her stuff is lovingly handmade and the quality is so beautiful! Anytime I’m throwing some jewelry on, 99% chance it’s a Stillwell Style piece! 12. Quill & Fox Christmas Towel – This Christmas dish towel is just so pretty! It’s by the same Anthro artist collab as my new favorite dishes and I love this Christmas scene. It would liven up any kitchen and add such a festive and whimsical vibe! The perfect stocking stuffer in my opinion! Happy shopping friends! And my sweet friend, Heather-Gail, from Stillwell Style made a 20% coupon code especially for you lovely readers! Use coupon code BUFFALO at checkout for 20% your Stillwell Style purchase (valid through 12/3). Her necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are all so unique and would make the most special Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers!
