These Are a Few of My Favorite Things | Gifts Under $100

One | I hear new parents everywhere quickly learn that their coffee/tea gets cold on a daily basis. We could even use one of these without having Nancy around yet!! This would work as a stocking stuffer as well.

Two | I'm telling y'all, Land of Nod's pouf selection is amazing and so reasonably priced compared to other retailers. I'm crushing on this gold one...but there are so many other fabulous colors and options too!

Three | Yes, I confess. I am the kind of person who will always enjoy a good throw no matter how many I already have. Loving this faux fur porcupine one from TJMaxx, nonetheless!

Four | Thinking of getting into essential oils? Or love them already but don't have a diffuser? We are in love with ours! I wrote about it being the best Christmas present last year. Still use it on a daily basis. It can make our house smell like a spa. It's crazy!

Five | Yes, yes, yes! Please! I am majorly crushing on these ABC Scripture Memory Cards for Nancy and me...I can't wait to teach her about Jesus and help her memorize Scripture! In the meantime, these would look miiiighty pretty in her nursery. Love me some French Press Mornings!

Happy December!

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things | Stocking Stuffers

 

One | A cup of Starbucks has never let me down. This simple gift makes me so happy!

Two | My mom, sissy, and I love us some Benefit. So many fave blushes of mine all in this holiday value set. Plus, it's called "Cheeky Sweet Spot." Even better!

Three | Hi, my name is Elise and I'm having a baby girl. #givemeallthebowsintheworld But yeah...I'll take one of everything from Willow Crowns, please. And matching headbands with my little?! Double please. [All pics above from the @willowcrowns - follow them!]

  Cheers to the little things!

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things | My List

One | Truth is I've been eyeing this pair for a couple of years (!!!). Since the fascination hasn't died down, I think it's time to pull the trigger on owning my first pair of Hunter Boots.

Two | Surprise! This isn't a purse...it's a diaper bag. Is it not the most un-diaper bag you've ever seen?! I'm obsessed with it. Complete with ten interior pockets and the gray leather strap and bottom, I swoon for this bag.

Three | This has become a tradition within our little Houston family. For the past two years of marriage, Mark has purchased me a new pair of snuggly flannel pajamas. He thinks they look cute; I think they look cute AND are the comfiest ever. Here is my pick for this year: pupjamas!

Four | I want to get more serious about my oils before the bebe arrives. There's nothing more perfect to do that with than the family physician kit! Cannot wait to use it on our little family. (You might remember that last Christmas, I began my essential oil journey with a diffuser. It's still something Mark and I use almost daily!)

Five | In my world, this is the ultimate gift card of all gift cards in the history of ever. Triple threat.

Six | Because I have visions of sweet potato/cucumber/zuchinni pasta dancing in my head...

Seven | A gift towards being your best self, to health, and fun too. A month or three of PB is a lovely Christmas gift that keeps on giving. Not that I'm obsessed or anything. ;)

I can't wait to read all of your lists!
