The Furry Friend

I'm just loving these gift guides. I think giving is so much better than receiving, especially you get to know someone better by shopping for them. Today's guide is for your friend who has a pooch. Not a muffin top, a dog. Jeeze guys. We're passed the food bowl and leash stage and you want to get her something she'll love.

Anything Dogs, French Bulldog Wall Mounted Bottle Opener, $49

Choose from dozens of breeds, this is a great gift for the home.

Etsy, Dog Bow Tie, $30

Sassy pup? Try a bow tie collar!

Etsy, Airedale Ale Art, $20

This Etsy seller has more than 200 prints! I love this affordable print combined with a great frame.

Etsy, Dog iPhone Case, $18

Adorable, retro and perfect for the best friend in your life.

As a dog owner, I would love any of these gifts and I hope your friends and family would too!

The Girl Who Wants Nothing

Happy humpday lovebugs,
Today's gift guide is for the girl who has everything and when you ask her what she wants she says, "oh I don't know." Helpful. So we're going to attempt to the oddball today. The lovable but impossible person on your list.

Design Darling, Jonathan Adler Zebra Dish, $24

A the perfect catchall for earrings or hair ties for when she gets home.

C Wonder, Peanut Charm Necklace, $28

I find this necklace just darling. Perfect for a younger sibling or maybe someone you mentor.

DKM Accessories, Monogram Shoe Clips, $46

This is brilliant. For your preppy friend who has approximately 4850 pairs of flats.

Etsy, Hey y'all sign, $50

For the southern girl on your list, this is the perfect addition to her kitchen. 

How do you shop for the impossible one on your list? I wish you the best of luck. Try Etsy, monogrammed items and even kitchen trays and cutting boards to fit their personality.

Gifts That Give Back

We all have someone on our list who may not appreciate a good piece of jewelry or a fabulous bag; and that's because they appreciate saving the world more. And that's awesome. My sister is one of those people, and so is my little, Marisa who is teaching English in Africa this year. So how about a gift that does some good?

Bonobos, iPhone case, $30 (plus $5 to charity)

A great phone case that does some good. Bonobos give $5 to Charity: Water, you can learn more about Charity: Water here.

People Water, The People's Stripe Tee, $25

A pretty slick tee that is perfect for layering some longer necklaces. People Water is a great charity that gives clean water to people in need. Learn more here.

Figs, Benjamin Classic Wool Tie, $65

For every tie sold, FIGS gives a school uniform to a child in need of an education. 

Krochet Kids, The Marie, $28

Made of a lightweight baby alpaca blend, this is definitely the softest scarf you will ever own.  This scarf was handmade in Peru. Krochet Kids is a fabulous charity that helps communities rise above poverty by developing sustainable programs through mentorship. Learn more here.

So maybe skip Nordstroms, Loft and the mall in general for that special someone who would appreciate something more.

So You Got the Dude

Hello lovebugs,
It's that time of year for bloggers, gift guides. I've taken your suggestions and I hope I deliver this week. Today's request is from a very loyal and lovely reader who pulled her 31 year old male coworker in the office Secret Santa pot. Bummer. Now this is all I know about the gentleman so I'm going to give a variety of options, oh and the catch? Her limit is $25.

Uncommon Green, Maps Rocks Glasses, $25

The bf got these for Christmas this year (yes, I opened the box by mistake with him there) and I think it's a great gift. You can also choose from a dozen other cities!

Uncommon Goods, Man Candles, $15

Is this dude in touch with his feelings but in a manly way? How about a candle that smells like pizza, dirt, or sawdust?
