Last year, I sent my son and his friends in the dorm College Finals Survival Kits. They were meant to be a fun pick-me-up during a stressful time. Now I realize there are a lot of items I can send during finals season that will not only eliminate some of the stress, but also help…

Back to School Gift Ideas for Teachers
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure.
Teachers have the most significant impact on our children outside of home. In some cases, teachers spend more time with our children than we do. I know first hand that teachers spend a lot of their personal time and money on our children based on the amount of time I’ve spent working and volunteering in…

If you have kids, many of your weekends are spent at their friends’ birthday parties. And since you have kids, you’re already short on time. Finding gifts can be time-consuming and a bit stressful, especially if you’re trying to find a gift that pleases both the birthday child and won’t discomfort his or her parents. Is it…

While most moms are happy just to be acknowledged and appreciated on Mother’s Day, most of their children like to represent their appreciation in a tangible way. It can be hard to come up with a gift that adequately conveys how much we appreciate our moms though. DIY Mother’s Day gifts are always a great…

Have you been putting off holiday shopping because you felt like you still had plenty of time? Then, like me, you looked at the calendar and realized it’s less than two weeks away!

I’ve almost made it to the halfway point of my son’s first year away at college. Thankfully, he’s been enjoying college life, which has made it easier for me to bear being halfway across the country from him for the past several months. Another thing that has helped is staying connected to him via calls,…

I’m spoiled and I know it. Though my husband and I have experienced financial struggles, just like everyone else, for the most part I don’t worry about having enough money to pay the mortgage, buy food, or keep the electricity on. Beyond that, if there is something that I really feel I need, I can…
Best Gifts for Germaphobes

If you happen to love a germaphobe, first let me extend you by deepest sympathy. Having grown up afraid of germs, I never considered that it was a burden on others, but rather a quirk of mine that warranted occasional ribbing. Little did I know that despite my aversion to germs, I was far from…
Best Gifts for Crafters

Your best friend loves to make things rather than buy them. This makes her hard to shop for since everything she gives you is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece so that store-bought lotion you bought her pales in comparison. Thankfully, despite my utter lack of craft ability, I have somehow befriended several craftaholics. I’ve asked them…

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure.
Girls are really fun to shop for, especially before they become aware of brand names and boys. They’re especially fun to shop for when they are in elementary school because they still have a wide variety of interests and in the latter half of elementary school they have developed a lot of helpful skills, both…
Best Gifts for Teen Boys
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure.
By far, the hardest people to shop for (in my opinion) are teen boys. They’ve outgrown most toys, like to spend most of their time hanging out with their friends (which means less time at home revealing their interests), and all of the interests they do share seem to come with a hefty price tag….

Coffee lovers are typically pretty easy to shop for since they are always happy to receive gourmet coffee or a coffee shop gift card. If you want your gift to stand out from the dozens of other people who are giving your favorite coffee lover exactly that, there are over a dozen other ways you…
