valentines gift guide: for her

one. two. three. four. five. six. seven. eight. 

father's day gift guide:

i am pretty sure has been officially stated by ALL women, that men are the hardest people to shop for. 

it's very rare for brian to pick up a catalog, circle the things he wants, + strategically place it somewhere he knows i will see it.  when i say very rare i mean he never does this, that would be too easy.  he also never takes me to the mall just to show me some things he likes. i am glad he doesn't do these things, except when its time to get him gi

so now you are supposed to think back to that one time he mentioned maybe wanting that shirt or that he really liked the beer at that one place, or what book he was glancing at, while you were shopping around target...impossible! 

i have compiled a little list of things i know brian would love  maybe like. 

in general most guys love drinking, golf, grilling, sports, + drinking. 

is that stereotypical of me?

 thats like saying all women like shopping, gossip, drinking, + shopping. 

maybe im not that far off. 

one// barbeque sauce pack from dean&deluca two// a nifty little robot wine opening (fun for kids and dads. ha) from fred and friends three// a gift card for a round or two of golf from fairway rewards four// a book on how to taste beer and all the different kinds of beers from barnes and noble five// you can make your own blend of whiskey from whiskey blender + they even have gift cards available six// for every beer lover, a kit to make their own beer from williams-sonoma

round-up: iphone cases

what is the one tool you always have on hand? 

hint: it's a camera, social media tool, calendar, + game board.

your phone.

as much as we might not want to admit it, we always have our phone on hand. {mine might as well be glued to my left hand...i can do almost everything one handed....sad?}

so if it's the one thing you constantly have with you, investing in a stylish case just makes sense.

here is a round up of some of my favorites.

{make sure to read all the way through...exciting news!}

one // two // three // four // five // six

my favorite ones are number six and number four. 

i love being able to customize a case, which is why paper and thread co  {number four} is so great.

the shop owner erika is a life-long friend + i am so proud of her newest adventure of starting her own business. {maybe even a bit jealous} 

please head over and check out all the amazing designs of iphone cases she has created.

then come back on monday for a giveaway we are both so excited about.

which cases are your favorites for your most useful accessory?

its always been a favorite from when i was dropping valentines in friends' [+ secret crushes'] 

decorated paper sacks at school.
