Best Gifts: Uncommon Goods

One of my favorite things is giving gifts - for birthdays, holidays and just because! Of course it is fun to get a gift that the person will enjoy, and extra credit if you get something that they didn't even know they wanted, but adore! Uncommon Goods is one of my best resources for picking unique gifts that are perfect for special occasions, just because & everything in between. I love how their website is organized, so you can find the perfect gift based on occasion (including awesome picks for your anniversary or all those graduations coming up this Spring) or recipient (girlfriends, bridesmaids, or your wife)! And as the name suggests, they are all so unique and sure to please!

Below are my top 10 gifts from Uncommon Goods that fit any budget and occasion! Only 1 more week to get your sweetie something for Valentines Day, and I know that I have many Spring Birthdays coming up quick too!

{1.} Evil Eye Blanket - the print is so on trend, but without being obvious! The perfect thing to class up a new apartment, or make the college student in your life feel super chic when they are curled up studying! 

{2.} Feather Stained Glass Charms - These make me think of my good friend who has an amazing feather tattoo - equal parts free spirit & stylish lady! Gorgeous on their own, or grouped together in a window.

{3.} Wrapped in love Scarf - give your loved one a gift that will remind them of your love every time they wrap this sophisticated scarf around their neck! The script is so pretty, & it feels like a secret love note. 

{4.} "With You I'm Home" Print - My husband & I enjoy getting prints for our house that remind us of cherished memories, & this print makes my heart soar with joy because it reminds me of our road trip past Summer. If you are into prints, Uncommon Goods also sells ones from Pop Chart Lab - I have previously gotten this Beer Print for my husband & we both love referencing it when we try a new brew. 

{5.} Llama Pouch - Can you ever have enough bags & pouches? Me thinks not! Up your pouch game with this adorable llama! Llama for your mama... too much?  

{6.} In the Stars Cuff - Perfect for birthdays or a celebrated occasion, get the sign from the month you got married, or celebrate the lovely Leo lady in your life! 

{7.} Light Box & Letter Set - I have seen these cute light boxes popping up all over Instagram! Make the dinner menu pop, or leave a love note for your sweetie to find before work! 

{8.} Peas in a Pod necklace - Growing up, my mom, sister & I said that we were three peas in a pod. Regardless of the number of peas in your pod, this necklace celebrates your pea pod bond. 

{9.} Personalized Tree Trunk Glasses -  I have always wanted to carve my initials into a tree, but these glasses are so much better because no trees are harmed in their creation, & they hold delicious drinks! Get them with any initials! Many more personalized gifts here!

{10.} Yarn Bowl - Based on my Facebook feed, pretty much all of my friends took up knitting this year, & this adorable "Sherman" the sheep yarn bowl would be the perfect buddy for the knitting buff in your life - regardless of their experience level! 

Where is your favorite spot to find unique and personal gifts? Any favorites from my list above?

Gift Guide: Impeccable

I loved getting to kickstart my holiday shopping with The Impeccable Pig last week. The Nashville store is loaded with gifts for everyone on my list. Jewelry from statement making JMARIE pieces to dainty Doggeared products, you are sure to find one, or 5 pieces to please!

As soon as you walk in the store you will DIE for how yummy it smells. The Capri Blue candles are no joke (someone on my list is getting a "volcano" one this year).

And then there are the fabulous handbags (I have my eye on a reversible tote!), & basically your one stop shop for fun fashion tops/sweaters + Flying Monkey Jeans - the best fitting skinny jeans for $52.00! See below for my must have gifting ideas:
// {1A vest to keep your bestie warm // {2versatile canvas clutch for your sister // {3} Lily and Laura bracelets for your co-workers // {4} a puffer your mom will love // {5pretty scarf for your boss // {6} sequin romper (NYE anyone!?) // {7} feminine gold dress // {8} metallic floral dress, sweet enough for family parties, sassy enough for anything! // 

Shop all of their fabulous outerwear options (loving every vest!), fashionable bags & affordable scarves (all under $24)! Don't forget about all those holiday party dresses too - pick up one for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years & still have some money left in your pockets!

I am personally hoping that Santa brings me a handful of stackable dainty rings like these below! I might have been the crazy person trying on every single ring in the store last week!!
See all the delicious new arrivals being added daily by following along on with The Impeccable Pig on Instagram.

And look to see which of their locations is closest to you or order online/over the phone! 

Have you started your Christmas Shopping yet? What seems to be the hot item on everyone'e wish list this year?

Gift Guide: TOMS for Target

I have a special place in my heart for businesses that promote conscious consumerism, and no brand is more synonymous with this movement than TOMS. This Christmas, I will definitely be gifting products from the new TOMS for Target limited edition holiday collection, getting back to the reason for the season, spreading joy! All of the products are spot on & the purchase of each provides 1 week of meals, 1 blanket, or 1 pair of shoes to those in need.

Shop the entire TOMS for Target collection here (starting November 16) & see my top picks below (all at great prices too!)


This holiday season gift ONE FOR ONE, FOR ALL! Because giving good looks good on you!

 And if I am on your holiday shopping list this year, this is what is catching my eye… *hint* *hint*
Tell me in the comments what is catching your eye?
Have you crossed anything off your holiday shopping list yet? Better get on it!!

Remember: starting November 16th, for every TOMS for Target limited edition gift purchased, Target is giving shoes, a blanket or meals to those in need.

Sunday Shopping: Father's Day

Here's to making Father's Day as big of a celebration as the Moms get! I am such a daddy's girl & love spoiling the man that is personally responsible for spoiling me for the past 26 years. I actually think I am going to get him a stylish man satchel this year… if you know him, that is totally not weird  What are you getting your Pop? If you have yet to even think about it, or are currently scrounging for your Calendar, no worries! You have 2 weeks to secure a gift, & I found lots of goodies for you to consider below! Many of my picks have great coupon offers that I found using Chippmunk too. Chippmunk is a great site for finding online deals - including coupon codes for J.Crew, J.Crew Factory, and Rifle Paper Co, all which have excellent Father's Day gift ideas right now! Doesn't it feel good to save money & spoil the ones you love!?

I also found this beer tasting kit that I think Ty would love to get (for a just because gift).

word to your mother

Last month, I spent a wonderful morning with some of the loveliest ladies - Gracie of Miriam Designs, Jordan of fashionABLE & my girl, photographer extraordinaire, Zipporah.

Both Miriam Designs & fashionABLE are local, Nashville based businesses that are doing good both near & far. Be sure to read about their amazing businesses that support women, through employment, fair wages & equal opportunities (Miriam Designs & fashionABLE).

(all photos Zipporah Photography)
We all embraced the idea of collaborating on a Mother's Day project. Two businesses that empower women & make beautiful products that your mom would LOVE to be pampered with on May 10th… it was a perfect match! 
We met up at the Miriam Designs jewelry studio for the shoot - natural light, adorable decorations (polaroids + washi tape anyone!), and gorgeous products made by inspirational women!
If you have yet to shop for your mommy dearest, don't worry, Miriam Designs and fashionABLE have teamed up to bring you one mother of a present - a bundle of a fashionABLE scarf + a piece of Miriam Designs jewelry. Shop all the bundles here.

Crushing on this dream sorbet colored scarf? Shop it here
Coral is so pretty for Spring & even into Summer (beach wrap, head scarf, get creative!). Shop the coral bundle here
So now that you've figured out what to get mom, maybe you should pick up something for yourself too! 

P.S. Today is the last day to enter the Blogger Spotlight giveaway - an Amazon gift card!

P.P.S. See how I have collaborated with fashionABLE for the Conscious Consumerism series in the past.

Sunday Shopping: get & give for Valentine's Day

I'm one of those girls that is in love with love & has a particular penchant for the super cheesy & entirely made up holiday that is Valentine's Day. I can't help it! I've always embraced the celebration of cupid's arrow. Whether I was drinking box wine & loving on my girlfriends, or now that I've spent the past 4 Valentine's with my one & only. Crazy to think that this is our FIFTH! 

Pretty sure that I started sending Valentine's notes in kindergarten & haven't ever stopped. This year people will just be getting wedding invites… you know I'm counting it! But one of my favorite parts, picking out little notions of love for those that are close to me. 

They say (they being Carrie Bradshaw), "You've got to fall in love with yourself first"… so why not treat yo-self with a new pretty on 2/14? These are what's catching my eye… hint hint (seriously blogging makes gift giving way too easy for that man of mine!).
{1} graphic print Coach purse // {2} rose gold watch // {3} peridot studs (I love birthstone jewelry!) // {4} Kate Spade clock // {5} Bobbi Brown fragrance

As far as gift giving for the man in your life, give him a practical little luxury. Something that he uses daily & will bring a smile to his face every time!

And for the lady in your life, shower her with pretty baubles, glitter & glitz! Did anyone else have those message bracelets growing up? I'm totally ok with the fact that they are back in full force… now just to find where I put mine 10 years ago!


Find everything for yourself, him & her on Belk's Valentine's shopping guide.
