2020 Gift Guide: My Favorite Things

There are just those companies and products that you love and want to share with your Mom and your neighbor and your Second Cousin once removed that you have only met once and you are friends on Facebook. It is rare to find something that does exactly what it is supposed to do and it does it perfectly and when you find it you are just over the moon! Here is my list of my favorite things. With the exception of IID foundation there is nothing on this list that I make anything from sharing, I just love these product!

Beauty

Seint Foundation

Well of course I will start with my favorite foundation! I loved it so much I joined the company and have got trained on how to color match! Seint IIID foundation takes all of the guess work out of makeup and gives you a natural glowing look in less that 10 minutes. Plus it comes in one compact so you don’t need a drawer full of products just one compact for your whole face!! I mean come on! When you need a new color no need to buy a whole new compact, just one color. (Did I mention you can also add lip balm, eyeliner, brow wax, blush, lipstick, eyeshadow to the same compact?) What the heck are you waiting for? Get a color match here.

 Makeup Eraser

The makeup eraser finally came out with a weekly pack! Yep, I have been saying since I first tried the makeup eraser that you need one for every day of the week and they did it. If you haven’t heard of the makeup eraser, you are in for a treat this soft and reusable cloth removes every trace of makeup with just water! As someone with acne and eczema these little cloths are so gentle on my skin and I will never again have to worry about disposable cloths being rough on my skin or ever running out of cloths.

Flutter Habit Lashes

I am obsessed with Flutter Habit lashes, they are the same price as the drugstore lash strips, but they are fluffy and gorgeous high quality lashes that last 5 days!! Yep, they are lash extensions that you apply yourself at home and for someone who never felt confident applying strip lashes I have mastered applying these beauties! I won’t say any more just let you admire the photo.



Hair

Le Volume

If you follow me in Instagram, you have probably seen me talk about my Le Volume hair dryer brush! It is seriously the best thing ever! I am so uncoordinated when it comes to the brush-hairdryer two handed styling method, how to people even do that. So I always spend way to long straightening my hair after drying it to fix all of the wonky bits. No more, now I wait until my hair has airdried halfway and boom, 5 minutes later I have a gorgeous blowout!! You need one of these, your Mom needs on your sister needs one your grandma’s best friend needs one. There are lots of brands out there I love the Le Volume from L’ange because it has a temperature adjustment, and it has a cool tip so you don’t burn yourself. So, no matter what brand you decide to go for make sure it has those features.

 Tangle Teaser

The tangle teaser. It does the opposite of teasing your tangles, it smooths them like a dream. And by your tangles I mean your daughter who has curly hair and hates having it brushed (just me, oh okay). This brush made all the difference in my daughter’s morning routine, it glides trough her tangly morning slept in curls and we have far less tears. You need one for your daughter or you or your husband! Best brush ever!

 

Kids

Cheski Socks

Cheski Sock company is one of those companies that took a problem that drives every parent batty and fixed it! Yep they fixed baby socks falling off their feet. Baby socks are seriously the WORST!!! They never stay on. Cheski socks stay on all day and night, they are not budging. I swear if you buy these socks that you will then buy them for every baby shower you get an invite to for the rest of your life. I have even had to tell myself to not be weird and send them to random people that didn’t invite me to their baby shower.

 Earth Grown Kids

Does your kid like playdough? I mean what kid doesn’t like playdough. Earth Grown KidDoughs will take playdough up a notch! They have an amazing selection of play dough tools and their play doughs last a year! Yep, you read that right a whole year of fun from one purchase. Plus, they have fun themes and kits for every season or every kid. Does your kid like trucks, unicorns, dinosaurs mermaids and rainbows then they have you covered. Need something to add to a stocking or easter basket or need a fun gift that isn’t plastic and generic. I love Earth Grown KidDoughs! They have something fun for every kid and every parent, because they are washable, subitizable and made with food grade ingredients.

 

Home

Bend Soap Company

This favorite of mine, I almost put under beauty, I almost put under kids, but I decided to add it under the home category because it works for everyone in your home. I have eczema and my oldest had food intolerances as a baby that would give her a rash all over, the Bend Soap Company has soap, lotion, milk bath, gift sets and I seriously love their goat milk soap. It is so soothing and gentle on the skin, smells wonderful and works amazing. I seriously recommend getting the milk bath and pampering yourself with a moisturizing, luxurious, yummy smelling alone time if you can get it. It is also great for irritated skin on babies and toddlers! They have starter sets and gifts sets if you want to try out multiple products or gift to a friend.

Grow and Company

Kid art taking over your life? Is it all over the fridge and you have a pile on the table and a few that you tried to throw away and you got caught! If you are like me you have an idea about how to organize or you saw something on Pinterest that you never get around to making. Well I found these adorable signs from Grow and Company and there is the art work displayed proudly! When something needs to be added, we decide what should be taken down and it has contained the artwork to one wall of the house! Yippee!! Everybody is happy!

 

Baubles

While I have always been a fan of being a useful gift giver, sometimes you just want something pretty! So here are a few of my favorite jewelry brands.

Teeny and Frey

I love being a bit Boho and a bit glam and Teeny and Frey delivers on both. Gorgeous sparkles and just enough whimsy to make my bohemian dreams come true. I am so in love with their gorgeous creations, I have to avoid the site from time to time so I don’t drain the bank account, because they are always introducing something new and gorgeous.

Enso Rings

My husband and I never wear our wedding rings. We got our family photos taken recently and the adorable newly married photographer was going to take a photo of our rings and we looked at each other and laughed because neither of us remembered to wear them. My husband because he is already missing a finger and would prefer to keep the rest and me because I have eczema (I think I have mentioned that I have eczema at least 4 times in this list) and I get flair ups when I wash my hands with my ring on. We have both wanted something that we can wear without worrying. I’ve found a company that solves both our problems ENSO Rings, they have gorgeous rings for men and women, they are made to not do damage to your finger and they have super thin stackable rings that moisture doesn’t get caught under. Shhh, don’t tell my hubby that Santa might be leaving one under the tree!
