HAPPY (nearly) HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! <3 I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday filled with good food, family time, and of course, FOOTBALL!

Todays blog post goes out to all of you first time parents/mommas and papas with little ones! I’m breaking down THEE perfect gift giving guide for your baby’s first Christmas with Pottery Barn Kids! Before I get into it, know that everything from Pottery Barn Kids is 25% off and ships free today-Monday with code UNWRAP at checkout! (also note these presents work for Children older than Miss Chloé!)

Growing up at my house, Santa always left our presents unwrapped and I loved that! I could sneak downstairs in the middle of the night, get a good glimpse of the magic that was here, then sleep soundly the rest of the night! It also helped my brothers and I understand what was from Santa and what was from our parents. We will definitely be doing this with Chloé!

Santa’s guide to giving was always one BIG toy, some stocking stuffers, a new outfit or dress, and some treats! My parents always made sure we had a stocking ready to go, and new PJs to wear on Christmas Eve! (It was the one present we could open before Christmas!)

We were able to find everything on our wish list for Chloés first Christmas from Pottery Barn Kids! They had lots of big present options, cute stockings, stocking stuffers, even the PJs folks! We’re going to break down what each gift is and why we picked it out for our little one!

For Chloés BIG gift we decided to get her a rocker! This is something she’ll be using in the coming months and enjoy it the rest of her childhood! Pottery Barn Kids has 18 different animal rocker options and they’re all SO CUTE! I think it’s obvious at this point I have an obsession with fawn as of late, so I went with the fawn! Same with her stocking, had to have that cute little deer face on it! Chase and I opted for a Santa + a Snowman stocking for ourselves! We also adore the fur stockings. Pottery Barn can’t be beat when it comes to stockings! The stockings are generously sized too, so we can fit some good stocking stuffers inside! We opted for a cozy polar bear blanket, a precious modern teddy, some bath squirtles, Disney blocks, and a white noise machine stuffed lamb! These are all things she can enjoy now, and some even more later on down the road! (For instance, learning how to build up the blocks, or squirting water out of her bath toys!) Obviously we had Chloé “test out” all of these items, and I can truly say she loves them!

I feel like we really hit the jackpot when it came to our Christmas pajamas this year! Pottery Barn Kids carries multiple designs and every size of the cutest, softest, classiest Christmas pajamas! <3 It doesn’t get cuter than this!

With fall and Thanksgiving among us + Chase & I settling into our new home, it was time to bring Autumn indoors with Thymes Fragrances! Their Simmered Cider line is warm & welcoming! (Not to mention, beautiful!) Just what we needed to spice up our new home! Our new puppy PG approved too! 

This delicious aroma fills our home with a blend of freshly pressed apples, mulled with crushed clove and cardamom, and hints of bourbon while the stunning rose gold vessels play up the Autumn scene!

Our home has hints of rose gold, copper, and gold through out it, so these candles + this diffuser have been the perfect decoration to add to our growing collection of home decor! I’ve been bundling them in the center of our kitchen table on a cute cutting board, as well as placing them in the corner of our family room for a cozy looking vibe! And truth be told, I wish these photos were scratch and sniff so you could smell this Simmered Cider scent! It’s more heavenly than imaginable! 

If you’re on the hunt for an Autumn aroma or looking to spice up your home, I highly recommend Thymes Fragrances Simmered Cider line! <3 Simply click on a pic to shop the line! xx

3.  Uggs! They’re the most comfortable + warm shoe I own! I get a new pair every Christmas and think anybody would be stoked opening these comfy shoes on Christmas morning! Uggs are perfect for all ages! <3 

4.  Flower Bomb perfume! This is my go to for date night! It’s both me and Chases favorite scent by a landslide! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worn this and been stopped in my tracks from by passers asking what perfume I’m wearing.. it’s THAT GOOD PPL!

8. T3 Micro Whirl Trio! This is the curling wand I use for my hair every single day! Not only is it sleek and beautiful, but it works like a charm and holds curls all day! This is a must have item for me, and it should be for you too considering it’s on sale for Black Friday! 

9. Dior lip glow! (Pictured above with my favorite things!) This is a tinted lip balm that’s perfectly pink and goes smooth onto the lips! Great color and super hydrating! I use this stuff daily! (It also comes in multiple colors!)
