Stocking Stuffer / Inexpensive andThoughtful Little Gifts…

….

Christmas time can be very expensive. All the decorations, the social gatherings, the gifts to get, the parties/dinners to throw/attend and of course the perfect outfits for the holidays. It can get overwhelming really fast and pretty bad for our bank account but to be honest it doesn´t always have to be the biggest, most expensive item. Sometimes the little things are all a special person in your life needs. 

Thoughtful little gifts with a well known background for the receiver will have such a sentimental value you can not make up with money. Like a restock on your co-workers favorite hand lotion, or a pack of fancy socks for your gym partner who always wears mixed up socks. You get what I am saying right!!

 

Stocking Stuffers for Her:

Key Ring – for the mom who always has her hands full

Leopard Print Notebook – for you friend who loves to scribble or wants to write down ideas during the day

S´Well Water Bottle – for the co-worker who always forgets to bring water, but with this cute bottle …

Cute Jade Earrings – for the girl who loves some color in her life

Pom Pom Beanie – for a teenager that loves pink

Plush Slippers – for your friend who always has cold feet, these are super warm

Burt´s Bees Balm Jar – for the girl that loves a light tinted lip that includes moisturizer

Luxurious Hand Balm – for the gal that loves to add a touch of luxury to her day

Funny Socks – for the girl in your life who always wears mismatched socks

 

These are all cute affordable and thoughtful things. I mean there are hundreds out there but you might get the hang of what I mean right?!

Hello ladies,

I am sharing my second Halloween costume today which should have been a mommy and me costume and yes Emilia is in a few photos but she was not having it so she cried the whole time trying to escape. She hated the skirt and the cat ears although she loved them the day before. Toddlers, am I right?!!!

So yes this would be an adorable idea for a mommy and me costume. It is super easy to recreate and it is also pretty affordable. The black shirts and tight had already been in our closets so we only added the tulle skirts, the cat ears and the cat tails to the mix.

Everything is from amazon and has prime shipping so this would also be a great last minute costume if you can´t deceide until the end or have no time upfront.

To be honest I had so many cute mommy and me things planned but most of the time when Emilia sees the camera she just runs. I have to accept that she is no Instagram baby and I am fine with that cause the ocassional pic is fine with her. Very afraid of familiy pictures we are taking on the weekend.

Where are my Halloween loving ladies at?

Halloween is in about three weeks and it definitely is time to start prepping now. Whether you want to decorate, invite to a party, prep your costumes or make cute Halloween baskets for your kids.

I really enjoy making themed baskets for my little one but that shouldn´t be a surprise at all cause I love everything with a theme. You can read more about my Valentine´s Day and Easter baskets here and here.

Halloween Toddler Basket

So what to put into a Halloween toddler basket ? Well there is always the same order I follow. I get a basket (of course) and then I start with a book and usually a little stuffed animal. I also like to give out little toys but switched it for a cute ghost t-shirt. If she would be a little older I would officially go with Halloween candy but since we are trying to give her food with less processed sugar I went with a smoothie pack. She loves them and they also have great autumnal flavors with sweet potatoe, pumpkin and vanilla.

The baskets I have are from a local dollar store but amazon has similar ones and I am sure your dollar store has them too. Another thing I got for Emilia was a coloring book cause she really likes to color the last few weeks but it definitely isn´t one for a toddler. It doesn´t look nearly as cute on the inside as it does on the outside. Gonna keep it for a few years until she learns how to write since it is all about the ABC. Also last but not least (another dollar store find) cute 3D stickers. She never had sticker but I thought they would fit perfectly into the theme and the basket of course.

So since Emilia is still a little thing I don´t think we are going trick or treating this year. Do you have any plans for Halloween ?

Halloween Costume Idea – The Roaring 20´ s…

….

Happy Friday ladies,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I haven´t planned on sharing this costume or a single costume at all but we are invited to a roaring 20´s themed birthday party and we had to get some cool theme matching stuff asap.

The Great Gatsby has been one of the movies I admired the most. The costumes, the music, the party, the stunning decor – everything was on point. 20´s parties have been all the rage since a few years. Who doesn´t love the mix of black and gold. It looks mysterious, expensive, sleek. My first idea of our wedding also was a Gatsby theme but I went with Fall because that´s my favorite and the reason we got married in September.

So for this look I went with a sequins and fringes dress I got from SheIn. It has the most beautiful cream color. Accessories are my favorite things to add and this era was nothing short of them. The pearl necklace, the headband and the gloves are all from SheIn and the super cool black feather boa has been an amazon find. 

All in all I am very happy with my look and can´t wait to wear it out on the town. 😉 Can you tell we don´t get out much often. 

Since all of the pieces are from SheIn / amazon it is a total affordable look and definitely could be worn to another party as well. 

Here are the exact things I got plus some really pretty pieces available on amazon.

Dress / pearl necklace / gloves / rhinestone headband
