Graduation season is almost upon us, and as you’re getting ready to close out one chapter with your grad and begin a new one, it’s a good time to start thinking about a gift to congratulate them on their incredible accomplishments. Whether you know a student finishing high school or college, these gift ideas will carry them from one journey to the next. See our graduation gift guide below.
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13
1. Noise-cancelling headphones will help block out loud roommates, chatty coworkers, or anything else that distracts them from getting *ish* done.
2. A wireless charging station for all of their techy gadgets will be the gift they use time and time again. Why does everything always need to be charged?!
3. Jewelry is a sentimental way to celebrate the grad. This compass necklace or bracelet will serve as a reminder to follow their own path.
4. A book of lessons, wise words, and funny anecdotes will inspire, instill joy, and provide a little motivation.
5. This inspirational makeup bag, filled with all her favorites and maybe a gift card or two, would make a great gift!
6. A weighted blanket will keep them warm, help reduce anxiety, and replicate a warm hug from mom when she’s miles away.
7. The tassel was worth the hassle! These funny socks would make the perfect addition to a DIY graduation gift basket.
8. And if they’re a coffee lover, this mug is another basket filler that will get tons of use.
9. A tool kit is a must!! This is one of those gifts that they don’t know they want but will be grateful they have when they’re in a pinch.
10. This phone wallet is super convenient. Pop it on the back of your phone, tuck your cards and cash in, and boom…out the door you go.
11. This themed gift box comes with an “adult merit badge” coffee mug, 400 different fun facts, and a motivational book—a little bit of everything!
12. A 3-piece luggage set will get a bunch of mileage. While they make think it will be for all of their exotic adventures, their broke selves will really be using it for all their trips back home so they can do laundry for free.
13. Who doesn’t love a sweet treat?? This tin of delicious cookies will be gone in the blink of an eye, but the sugar high will keep them going for hours.

The holidays are (almost) here!! If your schedule is going to be jam-packed with joyful get-togethers and family functions this season, having a few go-to holiday outfits in your wardrobe will be super helpful. We’ve styled some gorgeous looks for any and every occasion as a little bit of inspiration. See our holiday fashion roundup below.
A red jumpsuit is classy and stylish and is a great option for any holiday event. The tie waist brings a bit of definition to your outline and makes you look like a beautifully wrapped present!
This pretty polka dot dress is perfect for the holidays. The dark green is a great color for winter and the metallic gold spots add a little shimmer and shine!
Here’s another fun spotted dress! Pair this printed dress with a neutral scarf and knee-high boots for a look that’s as comfy as it is cute!!
A velvet wrap dress in deep red is a sultry, luxurious look for the holidays. This is a great outfit for a dressier party or even date night with the S.O. *size up for a longer length!
More velvet, please! This green ribbed dress is the perfect balance of elegance and comfortability. Grab this beautiful gown for any special events you might be attending this season.
A flowy sweater is not only fashion-forward, it’s also ideal for hiding that post-dinner food baby. Pair it with leggings and boots and get ready to get cozy.
This v-neck midi dress is bright and bold! The flattering silhouette looks stunning on all figures, and it’s versatile enough to be worn for work or play!
For those of you who are spending the holidays in warmer weather, this gorgeous green wrap dress is the perfect way to enjoy some sunshine while still getting in the holiday spirit. *Krista recommends sizing up for this one if you want a less fitted look!
A black sweater with jeans and heeled booties is a sophisticated look for any holiday get-together! The puffed sleeves add a little dimension to this otherwise sleek outfit.
This two-piece turtleneck and midi skirt set will keep you extra cozy and warm in the chilly weather! This look is great for an office party or a girls’ holiday brunch. *Krista recommends sizing down for this one!

Today is our queen bee Kristy’s birthday, and we are wishing her a day filled with love and happiness! She’s a world-class mom, a dedicated wife, an awesome friend, AND a kickass businesswoman, and we are sending her wishes for a year of success and joy to come. Read on for her birthday wish list and her favorite ways to celebrate. Happy Birthday, Kristy xoxo.
The Wishlist
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11
I like to put together a gift wish list for my friends and family who love to gift! This way they don’t have to stress about what to buy, and I can ask for items I really need or want. This year, I’ve got my eyes on these cozy UGG slippers, this gorgeous Brumate Winesulator set, and this sleek cookbook holder! I always tend to gravitate toward items for the home, comfy athleisure, and beauty products!
The Celebration
My husband and I packed up the kids and headed to Hershey Park for a weekend getaway to celebrate my birthday! My husband proposed here, so this place is very special to us, and we like to visit every year and make new memories!
One of our favorite activities was making our own chocolates! It was so much fun to see the process of how these mouthwatering little bites of heaven are made, and getting to create our own was such a unique opportunity.
We also visited a butterfly garden and watching these beautiful creatures flit and flutter around was so cool. We saw a bunch of different beautiful colors and patterns as the butterflies flapped their wings all around us!
The food was delicious and the drinks were to die for! This s’mores martini was the perfect nightcap – a sweet treat for dessert that really hit the spot after an indulgent dinner.
The best part of Hershey Park at this time of year is that it’s decorated for the holidays!! We made sure to check out the light show and see all of the gorgeous Christmas light displays!
Back at home, one of my favorite birthday traditions is making a delicious charcuterie board!! My daughter also looks forward to this every year and it’s become a special treat for us to share. We like to fill it with different Italian meats, all sorts of cheeses, some olives and sweet treats, and of course, crostini and crackers. This personalized wooden charcuterie board is my new favorite and right now you can grab one for 20% off with our exclusive code FNT20!
Birthday Dinner
My husband always treats me to a birthday dinner, and we like to try somewhere new every year. It’s nice to get dressed up (and take off my sweats I normally live in) and spend a little quality time with the man I love! I love this batwing cardigan with a black turtleneck, black leggings, and knee-high boots, finished off with a fun tassel necklace!
I’m so grateful for all of the blessings in my life, and getting to celebrate this special day with the people I love most is the greatest gift of all. Here’s to another great year and many more birthdays to come!
