Gift Guide for the Outdoorsman

Last week, I published a Gift Guide for the Gadget Guy, which involved lots of research and consultation with my dad and Sasha. I had to do the same with today’s guide for the outdoorsman, which, conveniently, is what both these men consider themselves. While in Durango this summer, we got to test out a lot of outdoorsy products, as we spent the majority of the day outside. We bought these Bunjo chairs, which are seriously amazing. We tried them out at Sports Authority and sat there for quite a while – too comortable to get up!

My dad has this CamelBak water purifying bottle, which after watching endless episodes of Naked and Afraid (guilty!), I wish the contestants could have! It’s genius. We recently bought our good friend this cordless Dewalt drill, which Sasha geeks out over (and Brett did too!).

Gift Guide for Baby’s First Christmas

If you’ve been following Snapshots & My Thoughts for awhile, you’ll know I’m very excited about celebrating Isla’s first Christmas. I outlined many of our family traditions as part of the weeklong ‘Isla’s First Christmas with Carter’s’ series. All baby ‘firsts’ are so special, and there are a lot of sweet gifts you can give to your little one to mark the occasion!

Gift Guide for the Girly Girl & Black Friday Sales

The next gift guide in my holiday series is for the ‘girly girl.’ Similar to the hostess and travel lover guides, I would take any and all of these presents (especially that Audrey lamp from Lulu & Georgia!). All of these gifts are for the ultra-feminine lady, which naturally means there is a whole lot of pink involved.

Gift Guide for the Gadget Guy

Growing up, there was only one ‘gadget guy’ in my life – my dad. He has always been on top of the newest technology, and I think when he added sons-in-law to his family, this was an important criterion for him. So now there are lots of gadget-guys in my life, and I really like it (less research for me to do!).

Creating this gift guide was very humorous, as it involved a FaceTime session with my dad, and the men were just shouting out cool gadgets that came to mind. Then there was internet research, and more idea yelling. I feel very confident that this gift guide covers the coolest gadgets for 2014. It also involves some explanation, as I had no idea what half of these products were!

Gift Guide for the Hostess

With the holidays coming up, there are a lot of meals to be shared together with family and friends, and someone will inevitably be playing the role of hostess. I absolutely love cooking for others, and therefore, was excited to have our good friends over on Sunday for a Friendsgiving celebration. Since most of our friends don’t have children, it’s now easier to have people over to our house than to get a babysitter and go out to eat, so the role of hostess is one I’ll be playing more and more often.
