Gift Guide: For Him

Needlepoint Driver Head Cover// Hand Cream// Canvas Tote// Sneakers

Range Finder// Flask

Portable Power Bank// Needlepoint Belt

Cologne// Lemon Lip Balm

Butcher Block// Weekender Bag// Wool Socks

Today is for the men in our lives! I find it hard to shop for men. As always, this guide is inspired by my dad and husband. Both love golf, skiing, traveling, dogs, a stiff cocktail, live music, classic/preppy clothing and accessories, and sports. So, if this sounds like any guy in your life, this gift guide may help. If you need more ideas, check out my Father's Day guide from this year, and the 2025 gifts For Him.

Some items of note... 

- Both my dad and husband are nuts for anything by Smathers and Branson. My parents got my husband a Needlepoint Driver Head Cover for his birthday, and my dad loved it so much that my mom ended up getting my dad one shortly after. You can never go wrong with a Needlepoint Belt. My dad and husband have collected several over the years. The Life Belt code is LB$50 for $50 off. They are custom-made with so many unique items. I got my husband one, and it truly is such a special gift. 

- This Canvas Tote is small (though they do make it in a larger size, too), so it's perfect to throw in a change of clothes and/or necessities. For example, he will bring it to the locker room to change his outfit after golf for dinner. 

- My husband doesn't leave on a trip without this Weekender Bag. The separate shoe compartment is brilliant, and it holds so much. 

Classic Fit Jeans// Quilted Quarter Zip// Corduroy Pants

Jogger Sweatpants// Vest// Swim Trunks

Some items of note... 

- As much as we women gripe about pants and how hard it is to find a great-fitting pair, I have to say, I think men might have it equally as hard. My husband has ordered and returned so many pairs of ill-fitting pants. These Classic Fit Jeans are easily the best-fitting jeans I've ever seen on my husband, and the quality is perfect. 

- My dad got these Corduroy Pants in a few colors, and they look fantastic on him and are a more modern style than he typically goes for! My code SYD20 should work on these! 

- This Quilted Quarter Zip is so soft and a great layering piece. It comes in many colors and fits true to size. 

- These are the best-fitting Swim Trunks. My husband found them in a store in Charleston this summer, and they are relaxed but tailored at the same time. 

- My husband thinks these are the most comfortable Jogger Sweatpants. If he's going to wear sweats, I like these because they are more tailored and polished than so many men's sweats out there. 

Collared Cashmere Sweater// Rugby Shirt// Espresso Machine

Crewneck Sweater// Striped Cotton Tee

Fair Isle Sweater// Pizza/Baking Steel// Sandals// Best Logos In Golf Book

Some items of note... 

- My husband wants this Espresso Machine. As someone (me) who prefers drip coffee day-to-day, this doesn't thrill me a ton, but my husband has done a lot of research on the subject, and this seems to be a very good one (and I would hope so considering the price!). But this is his #1 want. I'm over here perfectly happy with our Nespresso machine when I want espresso, ha! 

- This Pizza/Baking Steel is one of my husband's favorite things. You can make incredible pizzas in a regular oven. This is really heavy-duty and high quality and crisps up the crust like no other.

Holiday Pajama Roundup

Cue Mariah Carey, 'It's Time!!!!' I cannot get over the fact that Christmas is 45 days away. 

For me, I've sort of been in holiday mode since the beginning of October, planning gift guides and holiday content. October is my favorite month, but the holiday season is just the very best! I could list 100 things that I enjoy about this season, and one of them is holiday pajamas. 

Though I will say, and I wonder if any of my fellow Pittsburghers feel this way, I'm not feeling like Christmas is just 45 days away. We have had the most gorgeous weather lately. We have enjoyed so much sun (which becomes a rarity from about November-March) and warmer-than-usual temperatures, too. I'm loving it, but it doesn't exactly make me race to put up my Christmas tree! Though this weekend may just be the perfect time because I think we are supposed to get a few days of more seasonally appropriate weather.

If you have been reading for at least a year, first of all, THANK YOU, and second of all, you may know my mom, sister, and I have the yearly tradition of wearing matching pajamas on Christmas morning. Honestly, as much as the pajamas are so fun, I am endlessly grateful that we still all get to wake up together on Christmas morning. That's the real highlight. 

It's so much fun to look at my winter pajamas and have a Christmas memory attached to most of them. It's also fun to browse with my mom and sister as holiday pajamas come out from some of our favorite brands. It also makes it easy because every year, my mom and sister know that one of my gifts to them is a pair of pajamas. 

I'm a pajama-loving gal. I truly think there is nothing better than a cute, comfortable pajama set, and you can never have too many. Plus, they eventually get a bit tattered, and you have to eventually retire them. I wore the heck out of some of the pajamas in the photos above and no longer have them. 

We usually take our group photo over Thanksgiving, since my sister is home then and we can fit it in before the busyness of Christmas week. We've tried to take a photo on Christmas morning, and it more often than not doesn't work out because we forget! If you have the chance, take the photo! I love that I have so many photos of the three of us over the years. 

I actually just ordered our pajamas yesterday. I was browsing for this blog post and came across a crazy good deal that got me exactly what I wanted and saved me over $200! They haven't arrived yet, but my fingers are crossed that it's as good as it seems!

I thought I'd put together a quick little list of my favorites! The roundup is below the list! 

- Lake 

- Roller Rabbit

- JCrew

- Printfresh

- Lands End

- Old Navy

- The Company Store

- Petite Plume

Gift Guide: My Wish List

Sheer Button-Down Shirt// Black Crossbody Bag// Face Cream

Olive Candle// Double Sided Cape

Crystal Martini Glasses//

Eyeshadow in Rose Tulle

Faux Fur Trimmed Coat// Lamé Pouch Bag// Navy Pajama Set// Citrine Ring

This guide is always such a fun one to put together. Most of my other gift guides feature items I already own or that someone in my family has and loves, but this one is purely for things I’d love to receive (or treat myself to someday). Many are fanciful, some frivolous, quite a few are in my dreams, and some are more practical.

I once read a piece of data about influencer gift guides that said most people actually shop for themselves through them rather than for others. I’m curious if you all agree with that? Over the years, I’ve heard from many of you that my guides help you decide what to ask for at Christmastime. This 'My Wish List'gift guide is always my most popular of the year, so I'm excited to share it now as we head into the heart of the holiday season. I always create a second 'My Wish List' guide in December as well. 

I also wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that while these gift guides are filled with beautiful things, at the end of the day, they are just that: things. 

Giving gifts is one of my love languages. Finding the perfect gift for someone, something that makes them feel truly seen and loved, is nearly priceless. 

But as much joy as I find in giving gifts, I also think it's important to remember that the magic of the holiday season has little to do with what gets wrapped up in ribbons. It's the time spent with the people we love and the traditions we look forward to year after year that stay with us long after the gifts have been torn through. 

I hope these guides provide inspiration and make your holiday shopping easier, but more than anything, I hope this season brings you time to enjoy the people and moments that matter most. After all, time spent with the people we love is the greatest gift.

Some items of note... 

- I'd love this Sheer Button-Down Shirt in every color. It feels like 'me,' but the sheer fabric feels edgy and unique. 

- This Faux Fur Trimmed Coat is a dream!! The details are stunning; it truly looks like a coat I pulled from my grammie's closet in the 1960s. The price tag is a bit steep, but it's truly a special piece. 

- I'm on the hunt for an everyday small black crossbody bag. I have so many fun, colorful bags; I'm honestly just lacking something very basic. I'm eyeing this Black Crossbody Bag.

- My favorite Face Cream is pricey. It unfortunately works so well!! 

- I'm Petite Plume's newest and biggest fan. I'd love this Navy Pajama Set in every color! 

 Athletic Mat// Hot Rollers

Printed Colorful Pants// Sneakers// Sweatshirt + Sweatpants

Junk Journal// Serum// Weighted Sleep Mask// Eye Patches

Some items of note... 

- I want Hot Rollers to play around with. I'm not exactly sure if I'll love them, so this lower-priced set is all I need! 

- I have these Printed Colorful Pants in two colors, but I love this kind of Florentine design! 

- I'm going to start junk journaling as a little something to keep me off of my phone! I'm not a big DIY gal, but I think this is simple, fun, and a unique way to document memories. This Junk Journal seems like the perfect thing to get started. 

- I've put so many miles on these Sneakers, I think it's time for a new pair. The BEST sneakers. They are so bouncy and cushion my feet like no other. 

Face Masks// Green Tea// Fleece Lined Coat

White Wine Glasses// Tinted Lip Balm// Red Socks

Red Hood// Lip Balm// Lip Gloss in Pink Poppy

Dog Cocktail Table// Monogrammed Hair Clips// Shearling Mocs

Some items of note... 

- I drink a cup of this Green Tea daily! So deliciuos! 

- We have these White Wine Glasses but a few have broken over the years, so I need to restock my arsenal! 

- I had the tab for this Fleece Lined Coat open for weeks. The other night, my husband and I were talking, and he pulled out his phone to show me this same coat and said he was thinking of ordering it! It is not the prettiest coat, that's for sure, but my goodness, is it practical. It kind of reminds me of those swim parkas that you'd wear during swim practice and meets. I just know throwing this coat on over whatever to walk Henry would be perfect, no matter what the winter weather brings. 

- Now these Monogrammed Hair Clips are purely frivolous, but how fun!! The perfect thing to get someone who has everything, because there is a good chance she doesn't have her own monogrammed, no-crease hair clips! 

- I think this Dog Cocktail Table is the most expensive thing on here, but I've been dreaming about it ever since I saw one in person in Charleston!

Plaid Ribbon// Plaid Jacket// Black Embellished Cardigan

Some items of note... 

- This Velvet Button Jacket and Red Jacquard Pants with flats or heels make for the prettiest holiday outfit. 

- This Black Embellished Cardigan also comes in cream, and both are an easy way to add some sparkle to any outfit. 

- I love that this Black Jacquard Coat/Dress is a 2-in-1!

- I can't believe these Olive Cocktail Napkins are $15 when they are on some websites for $48!

- I think a tuxedo shirt is so chic, and this Tuxedo Tunic Shirt is the perfect length to pair with a skinny cigarette-style pant. 

- Love that this Fleece Robe is now available in a darker color. I have it in cream and love it so much, but I think the darker green shade would hide some coffee splatters better!
