Gifts That Will Make You Proud To Give

Updated: Apr 9, 2019

There's no better feeling than giving a gift you're proud of. Seeing the look on their face when they unwrap a gift you worked long and hard on is payback in itself. I, myself have a few gifts I've given in the past, as well as gifts I have on my list for some upcoming events that I can't wait to hand off.


Here are my top 20 #giftideas for this #holidayseason!


1. Map's Rock Glasses - These are my new favorite gift that keeps on giving! I got these for my boyfriend last year, one for each of the places we've been together and it has turned into a continuous gift because every time we go somewhere new I have another gift to give!


2. Heartbeat Necklace - I was particularly proud of this gift as I was struggling to figure out what to get my sister for Christmas last year. She was pregnant with her first child so I started googling gift ideas for new moms, and came across this product on #etsy. She had just sent us a recording of the baby's heartbeat so buying this was a clear choice for me! She loved it and I was beyond excited!


3. Pin Map - This is the perfect gift for a family, couple or significant other who loves to travel. You can find it in so many different styles and colors to make it fit in with any home. I have been anxiously waiting to get one of my own!


4. Car Coasters - I came across these (on #Etsy of course) and thought it was such a neat idea and great way to personalize your car. I love all the different designs and the fact that you can monogram them because I am a sucker for a cute monogram!


5. Dog Car Hammock - I have a yellow lab who sheds his hair like no other. I recently got a new car with a black interior and those two things just don't mix. For my birthday this year I got a dog hammock for the back seat and it has been a HUGE lifesaver. This makes the perfect gift for any of the #Doglovers in your life!


6. Personalized Calendar - I have given one of these to several people in my life and they all have loved it. It is a great way to add a personal touch to something extremely practical. Plus, you can almost always find a #sale on #shutterfly products!


7. Recipe Towel - My sister got one of these for my mom on Christmas a few years back using my grandmas recipe and it was such a great idea. It's perfect to hit those sentimental strings in an extremely creative way!


8. Pubs Of - If you can't tell yet, I love #personalizedgifts and this is another great way to get personal. It's a great gifts for someone who recently moved to a new city, is in college, or just has a strong love for a certain city!

9. Personalized Stationary - I love this gift idea for someone who's newly #engaged or #married! It's great to take full advantage of #personalizing everything with their new shared name!

10. Whisky Rocks - Such a unique and cool gifts for the #whisky lover in your life!

11. Cheese Board - I got this for a friends #engagement party. She loves to host people at her house and almost always has an assortment of cheese when she does so I thought what a better gift than personalizing a #cheesetray for her and her soon-to-be husband!

12. Casserole Dish - Another great git for a party host is this #customized casserole dish! I personalized this for #gameday but it would be cute to put a last name design on it as well! Watch my #DIY casserole dish tutorial here!

13. Winc - I'm a huge fan of #giftsthatkeepongiving and this is the perfect one for the #wine lover in your life! I love that they send wine personalized to your personal preferences!

14. Concert Tickets - I'm a big fan of getting gifts that contain some type of experience. Some of my favorite gifts have been concert tickets. Last year for my boyfriend's birthday I mixed a few of his favorite things to come up with an awesome gift. He loves the #chicagocubs and #countrymusic so I got him concert tickets to see Zac Brown Band at #wrigleyfield and it was awesome! Definitely a gift for the books!


15. Cutting Board - I love this idea for a couple at their house warming party, engagement, wedding whatever it may be! You can never have too many cutting boards and this is such a cute way to make it personal!

16. Wine Milestones - I got this as a gift to my friend for her #bacheloretteparty and it was a favorite throughout the entire room. It is such a sweet way to celebrate all the victories within your #marriage. They also have these for other occasions such as new moms!

17. Oyster Plate - My boyfriend and I like to get a household item from each new city or country we visit. We went to #NewOrleans where I had Oysters for the first time and we both fell in love with them more and more as the trip went on. While down there we forgot to get something for the house so I got him this #oysterplate for his last birthday. It's such a great way to remember little things about your trip and makes for great conversation starters!

18. Slumped Wine Bottle - This is such a great way to recycle a special wine bottle that stands for something important in your life! It could be a bottle from your #wedding, your first date, your #birthday, anything! It makes for a great decorative tray, or even a wall hanging decor item! Bonus - Save the cork and turn it into a cheese spreader for your new tray!

19. Petlandia - I recently saw this as an #ad on #instagram and Bought it instantly! It's another great gift for the #doglover in your life. You are able to customize the characters to look and have the same names as your child/niece/nephew and their puppy! Love this and how creative it is!

20. PerkiePrints - Lastly we have one more #doglover gift! This is another gift idea I found on #instagram. If you are, or know, a #dogmom or #dogdad you know that there are never too many pictures of their baby! This is such a creative way to use those pictures in your home!
