Today is the day that I get to share with you my WOMEN’s Gift Guide! Wahoo! Shake what the good Lord gave ya! I’m shakin’ Jeremy right now 🙂
Since it is Cyber Monday, today is the perfect opportunity to buy the stuff that you still need to complete your gift list for Christmas! These probably aren’t the best prices (I created this list before all the Black Friday/Cyber Monday discounts came out) but you can shop around today and know that there won’t be a better time to buy between today and when the hoofs stamp on the rooftops than RIGHT NOW. I still have to buy for my mom and sisters and so I know that my wallet is gonna feel the burn today and I’ll be oh-so-jolly to cross their names off the list 🙂 I divided up the list according to interests but honestly, I wouldn’t mind receiving any of these items (wink wink Jeremy).
FOR THE COOK:
This six in one dish is like a husband that also is a masseuse and also a manicurist and also a cook and also a hair dresser and also a mechanic and also a….you get the point.
IT PEELS, SLICES AND CORES. Also it is under $20. Nuff said.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I think this pizza cutter that is shaped like a saw needs to be in our kitchen (aka food workshop) right now.
KitchenAid Mixer in the best, most happiest, most heavenly color ever. I would polish it so well, I could apply my eyeliner with the bowl.
The vintage inspired aprons always get me. always. This one is less than $11 – now if only I knew how to cook 🙂
FOR THE COFFEE LOVER:
Kate Spade travel mug will soon be known as the Katie Spade mug 🙂
This little white Keurig is so adorable I would put it on my night stand. You think I am joking. Trust me. I never joke about bedside mocha lattes.
Variety pack of K-cups for the people that need ALL the options.
This coffee sign is so cute and I think it would be darling at your drink station! Also it is really really inexpensive so it’s perfect for pairing in a gift basket!
Seriously. Don’t even get me started. Now if only my kids could read the shirt.
FOR THE BEAUTY ENTHUSIAST:
I read way too many beauty blogs (I’m hoping all that gorgeousness rubs off via osmosis) and this eye cream, although pricey, comes highly recommended.
A curling wand has been on my wish list for a while now. I honestly don’t know which one to get but this one has 4100 reviews and 4.5 stars so it must be ok 🙂
Maracuja-mamba-jamba oil. I have no idea. But I hear that it is a miracle oil. I’ll take two. Also I want this Dead Sea Mud Mask.
I hear that contouring and highlighting is so much easier with the right brushes. Well, come to mama cheekbones.
FOR THE DECORATOR:
This spiky pendant is just plain funky town fun. I love how playful it is for a kiddo’s room!
I have followed Lauren’s blog since the beginning and I LOVE her style. I need her book like yesterday.
We have owned two of these little vacuums and I still think it’s the perfect price for a versatile cheerio-picker-upper.
My mom would probably go nuts over this lamp. She likes all things shiny. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree on that one.
Heck yeah a shower curtain made the list. It’s about time! This one comes in tons of different colors and is really affordable.
Metal clocks are on everyone’s lists. Also it will be a very large present wrapped under the tree and let’s face it, when it comes to christmas, size matters.
FOR THE RANDOMS:
I’m always on the lookout for games that are fun and this one I do not own. That’s pretty amazing. It would fit perfectly in my stocking 🙂
When something like muffin top cupcake baking cups make you laugh out loud and spew leftover Thanksgiving gravy all over your laptop….you put it on the list.
Apparently this book is the best book ever. It’s mostly pictures so I believe that statement. I mean….ya know…second to THE BIBLE.
Warm? Check. Cute? Check. Long enough to cover my crack if I bend over to pick up a kid? CHECK! (check it out here.)
I’ve been eyeing this lens for interior room shots. Also because I saw this wide angle shot of a kid sitting at a window seat and I’m all like “why don’t I have a wide angle lens?! And why don’t I have a window seat?!” #firstworldproblems
I’m officially on the bright obnoxious shoe train. These ones come in a variety of colors and of course the ones I like best don’t come in my size. That’s okay. Any color would look great on my feet as I pretend to exercise 🙂
Oh my gosh! I immediately had to buy those muffin top cupcake liners. Hilarious. Now, do I keep them or give them? (They sell them on Germany’s amazon, too- just fyi, for other expats out there. 🙂
Nice list. My parents surprised me with a kitchenaid mixer a decade ago and it still runs/looks like new, one of the best gifts ever!
Not sure if you ever tried them, but Newton running shoes are amazing! 2 years ago I broke my foot while training in my Nike’s. I took up running in my mid 30s and my feet rebelled. I had problems with heel strike and Newton’s helped me to run properly. I don’t work for them, I’m just a fan. They come in cute colors, my current pair are mint and tangerine. I’d say check out a shoe store though because the fit and size is different than say Nike’s, I have to order a full size up.
You and your mom have great taste in lamps, that one rocks!
I’m surprised that John and Sherry’s new book didn’t make the list!
We must have similar tastes and cheapness levels… I own four of those items already!
Those makeup brushes are illegal knock-offs of Urban Decay. You might want to pick some other option there.
As a beauty enthusiast I hate to tell you that the “Urban Decay” brushes you posted are fake. Urban Decay never created a brush set like that and if they did it wouldn’t be sold for anywhere near as low as $18. I know you’re looking to post deals for everyone but knock off brushes probably aren’t the best gift 🙁 They sell the real ones individually right on Urban Decay’s website, I own several and they’re amazing and even one for someone who is really into makeup would create a great gift.
Lol. Thank you. Your gift selections and humor did not disappoint. 😉
I will tell you, I wanted a curling wand FOREVER and could not do it with burning my fingers/arms every time. I guess I’m just not coordinated enough to wrap it around. So I found this: http://www.amazon.com/Remington-Perfect-Solutions-Curling-Packaging/dp/B005W1DZG8 AND I’M IN LOVE. The hair kind of clips in and you just twist, and the hair goes in the little grooves around a wand and you get the most perfect curls. And it’s the easiest thing ever. I do it while singing karaoke in the mirror.
Such a fun list! Thanks for sharing!
BOO! I hate when that happens. Thanks for the heads up.

Ugh. Yuck. I hate that.

Probably because I already own three copies. But their light did 🙂

Hi Katie!
First off, I love your blog and seeing pictures of your boys gives me serious baby rabies. Aaaaanyways, I have been looking for that bon voyage book for the past two years to give to my boyfriend as a present and I have not found it ANYWHERE. Do you have any idea where I can get one?
Keep being awesome!
I searched it on Amazon and that’s what popped up…but apparently it’s no longer available 🙁 I searched ebay with no luck. If I see one, I’ll come back and let you know.

Thanks so much!
Haha- good point!
I went straight over to amazon and ordered that apron. So cute! It should arrive Monday, can’t wait!
