Get festive! All the heart eyes for everything Valentines

After the longest January ever, right?

I am so looking forward to fun, cheesy Valentine decor!

Gimme me all the hearts, candy, Valentine parties, and more! Whether you go all out or have a few decorations, this holiday always has been a favorite of mine. There has been a few years that I let it slide by without making sure I had something festive to wear or barely remembered to get my kids’ valentines sent to school. Those years were, admittedly, never as memorable or fun!

I always remember the fun years that we had a party, made cookies, or that really great year I went all out on my son’s Valentine box. He had the best Thomas the Train Valentine box ever. Man, I should have saved it! It took forever to make but I always think back on how fun it was.

So here’s to being fun and festive this year with these fun things we found to step up your festiveness:

First up, the BEST Tennies out there! They are a great running shoe and the perfect everyday shoe too! Cannot go wrong with the Classic Black and White Combo.

Second, this has been on my list for years! The Jo Malone Perfume Sampler. Jo Malone is the crème de la crème of perfume and has SO many different scents its so hard to choose. This takes all the guessing out of it! Plus, they are designed to layer to create your perfect scent, so with the sampler, you can try out several different combos before you commit!

You can never ever go wrong with a great sweatshirt.

I wear thee Ugg ones every SINGLE DAY! They are fantastic and cozy. The chestnut is my favorite.

Hydro Flasks are as big as ever and several colors to choose from for that perfect gift.

Do you know you can have your house smell like Anthro?? Greatest smell on earth. Volcano is life.

Cute, small, Tortoise Earrings that make a big statement.

And lastly, I don’t think my list could be complete without this years top shoe! A fresh pair of Vans will never be under appreciated!

Whatta man, whatta man, what a mighty good man on your list?

Yea he is, now lets get him something good this Christmas. Camille here, Anna’s Assistant. I have compiled my favorite things I knew would be a smash on Christmas Morning for my husband! But these would work for your brother, boyfriend, husband, or coworker! This list may contain affiliate links.

This Beard kit just is so fitting, it had to be included.

Unreal amount of color options in these Beanies.

If he has been extra good or just has been begging. This Traeger Grill is probably the top gift this year and for good reason.

So many socks and they never tire of them. Stance have always been great!

Protein Powder: Probably the most practical and useful gift besides toilet paper for your man.

Portable Speakers are the GREATEST! From the pool, to the garage, to the block party…Its dang useful.

Herschel Backpacks are classic and study.

Air Pods…Do I really need to say more?

Cause we all get Hangry every now and then.

Competitive yard games!

Hoodies are an always appreciated gift over here. Adidas is the brand on his wish list this year.

Don’t miss out on this new Silcone Ring thing. We have tried a few brands and Enso has held up great!

Lets be real, I need this and I’m going to gift it so I can use it! Photo Printers for all!

Baseball Games

Baby list, do doo, do doo, do do

Camille here, Anna’s Assistant. I have compiled a few of my favorite baby toys and new Mama and Dad gifts! Hope you find something perfect for your little one! This list may contain affiliate links.

New bath toys are the best!

And a Caddy for the said bath toys and cozy towels!

We have the cutest videos of our Daughter trying out her walker for the first time. This will always be a great go to baby gift!

More of a Mom to be gift but these Heart and Oxygen Monitors are genius.

Never met a baby that doesn’t love Sophie the Giraffe.

Let them hit the things you want them to! Classic Pound and Tap toy.

What kid doesn’t want their own personal roller coaster. They look pretty fun!

Rattles are never ever going to go out of style!

I may have just added this one to relive my own childhood playing the Chatter Phone.

This Cookie Monster was dubbed the FAVORITE from my son’s first birthday! It eats cookies, talks, and it just dang cute.

Anything with the word busy, I’m sold. Busy Gears.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom will there be enough room? A told B and B told C…Ok you get it, this one is so good I know the whole thing by heart or this modern First Year book!

Jelly Cat stuffed animals are the softest things ever. Just trust me, these are the only stuffed animals you want hanging around.

Gifts For the Children…

It’s for the children!

I always think of this Simpsons video when anyone says “think of the children” or “it’s for the children.”

It just makes me laugh.

Because, when are we NOT thinking of the children? Am I right??

Anyway, we have been working hard around here compiling gift ideas for your family, friends, and yourself. We are even thinking of doing a gift list for pets. Because my husband would be stoked about getting our dog a bunch of presents. ha!

This first gift list is all about the children. A kids Christmas gift list seems superfluous… I mean don’t they already create their own wish lists for Christmas, Hanukkah, and all other holidays where gifts may be exchanged?!

My kids start making a list of presents they hope to receive and then become determined that they’ll get whatever is on that list.

Say it with me, AS IF!

As my sons and I were compiling this list, there were a lot of items I showed them that they had never considered to put on a gift list. My eight-year-old son grabbed his “birthday/Christmas wish list” and promptly scratched a few things out to add many items listed below. Because SOMETIMES (or, rather, all of the time), parents know better.

I realize this is mostly geared toward the masculine child, so we are working on a more feminine kids wish list as well. Stay tuned.

I hope you find something in this gift list for kids that will help you on your holiday shopping. Most links are on the photos and to Amazon; they may be affiliate links.

We have had the Swurfer for a couple years and EVERYONE loves it. Especially neighbors. It’s a blast if you have a tall tree or sturdy branch.

The Air Hog was one of those toys that I showed to my boys and they both immediately put it on their wish lists.

We have had this over-the-door hoop for YEARS and my sons are just starting to get into it. I hear them slamming and shooting on their hoop all times of the day. Play basketball all year long! We shoot, we score!

Marbles, roller coaster, building stuff… it’s like a big kid marble run. And it breaks back down to easily fit in a box when they aren’t using it. Save it for the grandkids… someday! ;)

This large connect four game is so cool. It’s big, it makes a statement, and it’s NOT A VIDEO GAME! Score!

Maybe it’s because I have three sons, but this looks like a HIT! And a pedal go cart is up my alley… no need to worry about batteries, gas, or anything else that will probably break within the first week!
