1. Cheers Card.

2. All That Glitters Push Pop Confetti.

3. Make a Wish Letterpress Card.

Good morning! Although I have a slight version of the flu, a full on cold, and still all around sore from the wedding, I am BASKING in summer. I am still nannying in the morning and at night, but it’s so different in terms of the stress of going from job to job to job. Plus, I am officially done with my Maymester master’s class! So in honor of my summer joy, I thought I would share my lazy day wish list!

1. Navy Mini Spots Clutch.

2. Sunnies.

3. Dead Sea Bath Salts. And bonus–everything at Leif is 20% off through tomorrow with code 3YEARS!

4. Wifey Tee. I need this. And it’s on sale through today!

5. Gap stripe espadrilles wedges.

6. Poppin yellow pen.

7. Pineapple key chain.

Have a happy Thursday!

Good morning! I’m going to preface this gift guide by telling you that I have absolutely NO clue what men want as presents. So I am basing this list off the last 5 things Matt has gotten and loved or bought himself that he loves. My only real contribution is picking out the card.

1. Whiskey Stones. Keeps their whiskey chilled without watering it down with ice cubes!

2. George Dickel Whiskey. This bottle goes for about $40….this blog can give you more details!

3. Man’s Search for Meaning. Apparently this is a MUST read for all men. Matt just started reading it and is loving it!

4. Logitech Ultimate Ears BOOM Wireless Speaker. Ok, so this is expensive, but Matt and I just invested and this little thing is amazing. It runs off your phone’s Bluetooth connection. You can take it anywhere so it’s perfect for outdoor parties!

5. Duck Island Dopp Kit. They have these a lot of places so it’s just a matter of finding a style you think the papa in your life will like!

Hope this helps with some last minute gift ideas!! Anything you would add?

Happy Wednesday!
Erin
