15 Under $25 :: Holiday Gifts

Can you believe Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK?! I somehow didn't realize that until, hmm, about noon today, and just about fell out of my chair when someone pointed out we only work 3 days next week. The holidays didn't just sneak up on me this year, they pretty much punched me in the face. Even Halloween was like "surprise playa, you have to go to a party tomorrow and you don't have a costume!" Ugh. 

We all know what comes after Thanksgiving... shopping! And yes, it's stressful, but it can be fun if you do it right. 

Below I've put together a list of 15 gifts under $25 for the stylish people in your life. I already know who I'd gift these to! 

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15

P.S. - Thoughts on the new layout? It's still under construction-ish. I'll be tweaking it until I'm happy with it, but expect some more changes! Your feedback is uber important to me, so don't be afraid to leave comments. Even you, anonymous!

I really wish I was as talented as Jen Collins of Hello Jenuine. Her work is so peaceful and calming, and she has such a unique illustration style!

Check out more of her work on her website, or purchase prints from her Etsy shop!

Have a lovely Thursday, my dears!

Fave Finds :: Etsy

Is anyone else's life as crazy as mine is right now? I would love nothing more than to be sitting on the beach with a bucket of shrimp and some Corona. I just remind myself to pause, breathe, and thank God for everything I'm blessed with in my life.. health, family, friends, my puppies, my job which I love, even the daily challenges I'm presented with are a blessing!

"I asked for strength, 

And God gave me difficulties to make me strong;

I asked for wisdom, 

And God gave me problems to learn to solve;"

Anyways, totally unrelated, here are some of my favorite recent finds on Etsy...

Whimsical and summery, these prints just exude warmth and country comfort. I want all of them framed in my apartment. Katie Daisy, I can't get enough of your art!!

An old high-school classmate of mine, this girl's got talent. She uses color and movement in an incredible way. Check her out!

Ayofemi Jewelry
Classic and simple, in timeless colors. Enough said.

Studiokmo
Prints by Karen O'Leary. "Aspiring to replace the common with something more beautiful." She is so talented and imaginative, I love the way she turns maps and cities into works of art. I have the Paris print framed and hanging in my bedroom!

I adore their cheeky, sometimes silly, prints. How can you not love Squeaky the Samurai Squirrel? Seriously adorable.
