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.

It’s the final countdown to Christmas and as we approach Christmas Eve, the excitement and anticipation are as palpable as ever! The elves are wrapping the last gifts and loading Santa’s sleigh, and the reindeer are warming up their legs for the long journey ahead. While the North Pole is in full swing, Kristy’s family is celebrating with some pretty fun traditions. See their Christmas Eve customs below.

First thing’s first – what are we wearing?! Coordinating family outfits are a must-have for our Christmas Eve get-together, and this year we went with a camel, black, and cream color palette. Gorgeous hues for the winter, we also used these outfits for new family photos at a Christmas tree farm!

I went with a camel cowlneck sweater dress with black tights and black knee-high boots, and I chose a cream quarter zip pullover with black jeans for my husband! For my kiddos, complementary outfits – a black sweater and camel pants for my son and a black and cream checkered dress with black leggings for my daughter.

Every year on Christmas Eve, our Elves on the Shelf bring my children the “elf box”. After spending all night with family, my kids come home to find the boxes waiting under the tree. They are filled with all of the necessities for Christmas Eve night and specially curated to their favorite obsessions of the moment.

My favorite part of these boxes is the special ornaments they receive for their Christmas tree! Every year when we decorate their tree, we can reflect back on the year we were obsessed with Minnie Mouse or Spiderman…cue the tears. The boxes always have a new pair of pajamas to wear for Christmas morning, a Christmas book we can read before bed, some hot cocoa to go with the Christmas story, and a little figure or plush of their favorite character (since they can’t play or go to sleep with the ornaments). This year our elves brought a little memorabilia to remind the kiddos that they’ll be back next year, and it’s so adorable! 

It’s been our favorite tradition for the last 6 years and I can’t imagine it’s going to stop, even when they’re adults and they have their own kids!!

And while traditions are usually tried-and-true, sometimes you need to introduce new ones to spice things up! This year, we’re implementing the Saran Wrap gift ball, and this one is definitely going to be a quick family favorite. How does it work? You take a bunch of small gag gifts (pictured below), and you wrap them in Saran Wrap around and around and around until you have a giant wrapped ball of goodies!

Everyone sits in a circle and the first person to go dons oven mitts (yes, they must be worn!). The person to the starter’s left rolls two dice until they roll doubles – as they’re rolling, the oven mitt wearer unwraps the ball to reveal gifts, and whatever they unwrap they keep! Once the dice roller rolls doubles, the ball is passed to left and the game continues until all the gifts have been unwrapped! This is definitely going to make for a few laughs and a lot of chaos.

These are some of the things wrapped up in this year’s Saran Wrap ball! I included candy, gift cards, scratch off tickets, beauty products, games, and more!! I’m so excited to start a new family tradition and make tons more memories.

Today is a very special day for all of us coffee lovers out there. It’s National Coffee Day! If you’re a self-claimed caffeine addict (guilty) and you can’t make it through the day without at least ONE cup of joe (but more like two or three) , then you’ll definitely appreciate this collection of all things coffee. So go make yourself your favorite caffeinated beverage and enjoy our roundup below.

Lip Gloss | French Press | Coffee Machine | Candle | Body Scrub | Coffee T-Shirt | Coffee Treat Basket | Coffee Tumbler | Coffee Canister | Coffee Warmer | Coffee Mug | Coffee Weather Sweatshirt | Coffee Book

This tarte lip gloss in the “coffee break” shade will give you nourished, luscious lips that will keep their shine through all your cups of coffee, all day long.

This French press coffee maker is stylish and sophisticated. If you’re a coffee connoisseur and you take your caffeine seriously, this will brew the perfect pot of coffee every time.

This Ninja coffee machine does it all. Make a single cup or an entire pot and enjoy delicious coffee with just the touch of a button.

The smell of coffee is one of the best smells in the world. Let it permeate through your home all day long with this sweet-smelling whipped coffee candle.

This coffee scrub smells amazing and leaves skin feeling smooth and soft. Slough away dead, dull skin for a luminous glow.

Show your serious love for caffeine with this “coffee” t-shirt. Bonus? A little animal print adds a fun flair.

What’s a scrumptious cup of coffee without equally scrumptious snacks? This coffee treat basket comes loaded with various cookies and crackers that add the perfect finishing touch to your morning (or afternoon!) cup.

This beautiful insulated coffee tumbler makes taking your coffee to go effortless. Equipped with two different lids, you can use the straw lid for easy sipping, or the flip lid to avoid leaks and messes.

Keep your coffee grounds fresh with this coffee canister. The air-tight sealed lid keeps your coffee from getting stale, and the attached wooden scoop is great for measuring out just the right amount of grounds.

A coffee cup warmer is an essential you didn’t know you needed until you have it, but then you won’t be able to live without. Never drink room temperature coffee again with this sleek warmer that has three temperature settings so you can keep your coffee as warm as you like it.

This funny coffee mug will let your family or coworkers know when it’s finally safe to approach you and start a conversation if you’re one of those “don’t talk to me until I’ve had a cup of coffee” people (again, guilty).

Coffee weather is the best weather! Snuggle up in this cozy sweatshirt and pour yourself a hot cup of coffee…then sit back, relax, and enjoy.

If you love knowledge as much as you love coffee, then this is the book for you. Filled with fun facts, a little bit of history, and general coffee knowledge, this book has everything you need to know about coffee.
