I love sharing my personal holiday wish list with year each year. I have been doing it for almost 15 years! Unlike gift guides targeted at specific stereotype family members, it’s fun not be formulaic and pick the things I’m coveting most. I hope these items might spark some joy in you as well!

I really try not to reinvent the wheel with my holiday decor. I add new bows to change up colors and pick a new gift wrap color scheme, but over all, I think that’s what makes the holidays so nostalgic, memories are evoked each year when you pull out the boxes or when you walk into your parent’s house to see items you remember from childhood. I have decorations from my grandmas. Each year when I add to my collection I try to invest into decorations that are not just beautiful, but will last and can hopefully be passed down to my kid’s future homes. Here a few items that I own and love, along with a few new items I’m shopping.

May, one of my favorite times of year. The weather is finally turning and we are celebrating, graduations, and moms! While I do love the gift of brunch and a massage, sometimes you ned something wrapped. We are sharing 10 items to make mom’s day a little brighter.

It’s so refreshing to get out from behind the computer screen and hit some actual stores. Grand Rapids has so many lovely shops and talented makers it feels god to spend some money and feed the local community.

I can’t let this tradition slide, time to share my wish list. It’s usually a mix of home, fashion and always a couple of tools I noticed I need throughout the year.

My first gift guide this season is for the curious and creative kid! Of course my kids have a list full of items from big box stores, with commercial characters, but I like to supplement those wishlists with toys and games that evoke curiosity and creativity. I poked around some of my favorite shops for some surprise, out of the box ideas for the kiddos.
