6 Amazing Sites to Check Out When You’re Out of Gift Ideas

These sites are the absolute best for finding gift ideas for the person who has everything! They're brilliant!

For the most part, I love shopping for gifts for other people…unless, of course, I have no idea what to get them. The anxiety of not being able to find the right gift for someone can drive me absolutely crazy, so I always try and scour certain sites for good gift ideas way ahead of time.

For the most part, these are the sites that ALWAYS deliver. They have unique gift ideas (some are one-of-a-kind) and a few are perfect for last-minute gift ideas or if you need to ship something to someone long distance.

I’m willing to be that you’ll love these too, so good luck with your shopping!

The Best DIY Baby Gift: A Fully-Loaded Diaper Caddy

categories: Gift Guides, Gift Guides for Children, Parenting, Tips & Tricks

When I had my first baby I quickly grew attached to parenting devices that I just couldn’t live without (our water sling, the Ergo, and the Rock ‘N Play to name a few). So when baby #2 was on her way, I had all of those items ready and waiting.

But of course, as you’d expect, I didn’t end up needing them because she had her own ideas and her own needs.

So I started the discovery process all over again and for her, one of the greatest creations I came across was the diaper caddy.

It’s basically a diaper bag that doesn’t need to be unzipped, is more easily accessible, and can be anywhere in your home that you need it. It was an alternative to having a dedicated diaper changing table and ended up making travel a breeze.

I’ve got some definite tech lovers in my family, so this list comes from my own experience! Some are past successes that I wish I could just give again, others will be making their appearance at the next holiday season.

Thankfully, my husband and Dad have both agreed not to read this post (it will be really hard for them, I’m sure), so I can be totally honest with you. 🙂 They also both weighed in on these ideas, so I can tell you exactly what they were thinking.

Here we go! The best gifts for the tech loving man in your life:

The Best Easter Basket Ideas for 2-Year Old Boys

categories: Easter, Gift Guides, Gift Guides for Children, Holidays, Parenting

Looking for Easter basket ideas for your 2-year old boy?? These are the winners in our house!

It’s that time of year again! The Easter Bunny is on his way and more importantly, spring will soon be here! Easter can be a really fun day, especially with little ones. This will be the first year that my son will understand what’s going on (kind of), so I can’t wait to pull out all of the stops! We’re going to be decorating eggs ahead of time, hiding them, and of course opening up an Easter basket from the Easter Bunny!

In my excitement, I’ve already ordered the fixings for my son’s Easter basket this year and I know how tough that can be when you don’t want to spend a lot and you just don’t really know what a toddler would like. So here are some great Easter basket ideas for 2-year old boys! Happy Easter 🙂

The Best Subscription Clubs for the Person Who Has Everything

categories: Christmas, Gift Guides, Holidays

Sometimes I feel like every single person I shop for is a person that already has everything. I’m constantly scouring the internet for good ideas and trying to find something they’ve never seen before. Sometimes I get lucky, other times not so much. But there’s one thing that is always a winner (and it has consistently been my favorite gift to receive) – subscriptions and monthly club boxes. They’re almost always consumable and it’s so nice to be receiving something after the holiday season (especially if you live on a budget). It’s the true gift that keeps on giving.

So if you’re stuck in a rut…especially a last-minute rut, check out some of these subscriptions and clubs to see if any are a good fit:

The Baby Products I Wish I Hadn’t Bought…And Definitely Didn’t Need

categories: Gift Guides for Children, Parenting, Saving Money, Tips & Tricks

I’m definitely not a minimalist (though I wish I was). In fact, I probably carry more traits of a hoarder than I do of a minimalist. Yet I STILL found that there were quite a few baby products that I just didn’t need, wish I didn’t have, or was so unbelievably grateful that I DIDN’T get.

I mean, these little babies come with a ton of stuff. And in my case, my son rarely left my arms, so what was the point of half of them? At one point his room had literally turned into a storage facility for the overabundance of his “things”, while the stuff he actually needed just moved into my space.

So to save you the trouble (and money), here are the things you may not actually need to buy:

The 10 Best Gift Ideas for 1-Year Old Boys

Technically it isn’t hard to find gifts for a 1-year old boy. There are thousands and thousands of options. BUT…that doesn’t mean that they’ll like your gift – or that their parents will.

My husband and I have the “luxury” of a child with a November birthday, so we get a double whammy of gifts each year for his birthday and Christmas. With so much out there it can be really hard to know what is actually worth a purchase, so I’ve done the leg work for you and tested out just about every product under the sun.

Here are the winners! The best gift ideas for 1-year old boys:
