Happy December, peeps! I love Christmastime so much, the scents, the scenes, and all the preparation for the most wonderful time of the year. A couple of weeks ago, I shared with you the best gift guides for the preschool girl and the baby. Now that I’ve got my shopping done for the little babes, a few of my family members have been asking what the hubs and I want. While we don’t ever expect anything, we did come up with a few items to add to our wishlist, the perfect gift guides for the preppy dad and casual mom, because I guess that’s what you could call us. A few of these things we already have, but I added them to the gift guides because I know you might love them, too. Happy wish listing!
P.S. You don’t want to miss the giveaway and blog hop at the bottom, so be sure to not miss a word! ;)
Now to the gift guides…
For the Preppy Dad
Textured Lambswool Sweater // This cozy sweater from J.Crew is gorgeous and will make your man look daper.
Broken-In Chino // These chinos are a must-have for any preppy guy in your life.
484 Stretch Jean in Whitford Wash // These jeans are both trendy and preppy making the perfect gift.
Amazon Fire TV with Alexa Voice Remote // This is a must-have for any guy! (I even love ours, so this is a win for everyone in the family.) This is an upgrade to the Fire TV Stick, because this will stream in 4K resolution.
Tiffany’s Rock-Cut Double Old-Fashioned Glass (similar here) // Your guy will love this for Kentucky Bourbons; be sure to pick up a bottle of Cotton Hollow 8 Yr, Walking Stick, Widow Jane 8 Yr, Willet Pot Still Reserve, Old Forester, or Booker’s to make him extra happy.
Yeti 45 Quart Cooler // This cooler is the end-all and be-all of coolers. If your guy doesn’t have this, he’ll love you forever.
Cooler Wheels // And if you get the cooler, your man will want to upgrade it with wheels. Buy these so he can make it into a super cooler.
Cotton 1/4 Zip Sweater (or this one) // I love this pull-over sweater look. This is a great gift that never fails.
Bushnell Golf Tour v3 Laser Rangefinder Patriot Pack // And if you’re feeling really nice, this range finder for the golf course is a sure winner. This was also on the list last year.
For the Casual Mom
Grace Not Perfection by Emily Ley // I am so excited about this book! Maybe because I live by this mantra. ;) I just ordered this for myself with some gift card money I had. Woohoo! Any lady would be lucky to have this.
The Magnolia Story // I would love to read this! Who doesn’t love Fixer Upper?
Women’s Textured Sweater in Oatmeal Heather // I saw this in Target the other day and fell in love. Someone please get this for me! Size Medium for me. I love big and cozy.
Hot Tools 1″ or 1 1/4″ Curling Iron // My old curling iron bit the dust. I could use a new one, couldn’t you? The Hot Tools brand is my favorite.
Tipped Vintage Pajama Set or Chambray pajama set with grosgrain trim // It wouldn’t be a Christmas list without pajamas. These from J.Crew are my fave.
Capri Blue Iridescent Jar Candle // I can never have too many candles, and this is by far, the best candle on earth.
Monogram Mug // And mugs? I can’t have enough of these either. Give me all the monograms!
Erin Condren Life Planner // I just ordered this planner for myself, and I’m so excited. I’ve been an Erin Condren girl for years, so if the lady in your life needs a little organzition, this one is my favorite. The weekly layout is what has me sold.
Authentic Camp Socks or Trouser Socks in Fair Isle from J.Crew // I am loving these socks for the colder days. Or for the big spender, see these Cableknit Knee Socks.
New Balance for J.Crew 620 // And I am loving these tennis shoes! The red and navy is so classic and chic. New Balance is my favorite for casual days.

Totally agree about the Amazon Fire TV. Everyone in our family fights over the television in our room — it is the only way to survive being cable-free!! Also? Those ladies’ New Balance sneakers are amazing — definitely adding those to my wishlist. xo
