ABBY’S AMAZON PICKS
1. DISCOVERY KIDS CONSTRUCTION FORT 72PC BUILD & PLAY – A great gift for kids. I actually got this for Tate this year. Great way to get kids off their devices and have some good ole fashion fun.
2. doTERRA LAVENDER TOUCH – For your coworker, give them something to help them during stressful days. doTerra can be pricey, but this one won’t break the bank.
3. ESARORA ICE ROLLER – For friends, I cannot stress enough how much I love this ice roller. Total game changer rolling this on before a big night out. For more of our favorite beauty items, click here.
4. TYLER GLAMOUR WASH LAUNDRY DETERGENT 32 OZ KATHINA – For the fancy friend/neighbor/relative in your life, you have to introduce her to Glamour Wash. It is the best smelling laundry detergent – hands down. Super fancy! I’ve never known a soul who hasn’t loved this.
5. ARABELLA WOMEN’S FROSTED PLUSH ROBE WITH BLANKET STITCH – Mother-In-Laws can be hard to buy for but you can never go wrong with a great robe. This one is the softest, and this time of year who wouldn’t love a warm fuzzy robe? For more clothing favorites, click here
6. 100% PURE ORGANIC EUCALYPTUS SEA THERAPY BATH SOAK – For teachers, I like to give them gifts that they can actually use to relax. As a former teacher myself, please don’t get them an ornament or a coffee mug (just saying). Pure products are amazing and are 100% natural. I love them.
7. WIND AND WILLOW TUSCAN OLIVE CHEESEBALL MIX (4 PACK) – For neighbors, I love to give these Wind and Willow cheeseball mixes. They are SO delicious and are small enough to wrap with a bow around your Christmas cards and put them in your neighbor and friends mailboxes. For more kitchen and dining picks, click here
8. MELISSA & DOUG CUTTING FRUIT SET – For your toddlers, I love this wooden fruit set. All the “kid Youtubers” play with these and they look so fun. Cheap too.
9. TYLER CANDLES – EGGNOG SCENT – I love giving Tyler Candles. They are the best smelling candles ever. The eggnog scent is my favorite.
10. TORY BIRCH SARAH RAINBOOT– For my luxury item, I chose these rainboots. Nothing like splashing around town in a pair of Tory’s. We get a lot of rain this time of year where I live so I’m definitely adding these to my list.

SANDY’S AMAZON PICKS
1. OLEBR CHARGING STAND – I love these charging stands. No mess or multiple charging wires and everything in one place. A great gift for teenagers.
2. ADIDAS WOMEN’S CLOUDFOAM ULTIMATE SNEAKERS – A bit of a splurge but I promised you these are the most comfortable tennis shoes ever. Several colors to choose from.
3. RAY-BAN OVERSIZED AVIATOR SUNGLASSES– Sunglasses are always my “go to” gift for everyone. Who doesn’t love getting a new pair of sunglasses (especially Ray-Bans). I LOVE the rose colored ones but they come in lots of colors. Don’t you love shopping on Amazon? Sure beats fighting all the traffic and crowds at the mall.
4. KATE SPADE BLACK QUILTED BAG – This bag holds a lot more than you would think. I love the casual look of the quilted material and the outside zippered pouch. We have another Kate Spade bag that I bought for my granddaughter Lani last Christmas and she’s still using it one year later. You can check that one out here
5. CORDLESS RECHARGEABLE FLAT IRON – I didn’t even know these existed until a few weeks ago. This is perfect for crowded bathrooms, camping, the car, and travel or anyplace where you don’t have access to a receptacle. The charge will last for 45 minutes. Who wouldn’t love one of these???
6. KENDRA SCOTT NECKLACE – I got this necklace a few years back but I still wear it all the time. These necklaces come in a lot of colors but I love the black. It’s dainty and feminine and makes a great gift for anyone.
7. UGG MEN’S ASCOT SLIPPERS – I bought a pair of these for my son for Christmas a couple of years ago and I swear he wore them everyday for an entire year. They have a rubber sole so you can wear them outdoors and the suede fabric is weather resistant. The man in your life will LOVE these!
8. DJl MAVIC PRO AERIAL DRONE – Ok y’all this is my luxury item and I know this is super expensive but if you are considering buying a drone for yourself or someone else, this is the one you want!! I can honestly tell you this because my son-in-law has this very model. It comes as a bundle with an extra battery. You cannot believe the gorgeous pictures it takes. Here is an example of a picture taken with this drone. The possibilities with this thing are endless and someone could even start their own drone business with this model.
9. THE ORIGINAL BUDDHA BOARD – What is this you ask? You can read all about it in a previous blog post here. This is a great present for anyone; especially for a teacher to use in a classroom. My family has had a lot of fun with this and believe it or not, we all own one!
10. MELISSA & DOUG FOLD AND GO DOLLHOUSE – I actually bought my granddaughter Baylor the larger version for this Christmas, but found this small, portable version and plan on giving it to her for her birthday. The pieces are very sturdy and will hold up to a toddler’s wear and tear! Great for imaginary play.
11. QUAY MEN’S AND WOMEN’S SUNGLASSES – Yes, another pair of sunglasses. These are a third of the price of the previous ones and are super popular right now. I love the faded lens. Comes in several color choices.
12. 23ANDME DNA TEST – What to you give the person that has everything? One of these! It’s fun to find out the ancestry stuff, but the health information is invaluable – things you really need to know.
13. WOMEN’S LONG SLEEVE V-NECK PAJAMAS – Do these look like the most comfortable PJ’s ever? I am all about soft pajamas and a warm robe, especially in the winter months. What woman in your life wouldn’t absolutely love a pair of these. I LOVE the hot pink ones. And can you believe the price??
14. DOUBLE LAYER INVERTED UMBRELLA – Inverted umbrella where have you been all my life???? Instead of getting you and the inside of your car soaked, this umbrella actually folds inward so no water anywhere. And so many designs to choose from. I love the “Burberry like” one!
15. DREMEL ROTARY TOOL KIT – If your guy or gal is into specialty tools, this is a great gift. These little dremels can be used for cutting, grinding, sanding and buffing. My hubby loves his and uses it all the time.
16. FANTASY PERFUME – Yes, it’s old school but I kid you not, every time I wear this fragrance people ask me what perfume I’m wearing. What I want to tell them is “It’s Britney Bitch” š, but I always refrain from the “B” word (unless provoked š) !! Seriously though, it’s my favorite perfume of all time. It’s not an expensive designer fragrance by any means but I promise that the person that gets this will LOVE it!
