For the past few years I have helped some of my guy friends pick out holiday presents for their wives. I did this BEFORE I had a blog, I would make Amazon lists, send links, you name it. I’m pretty sure my number one love language is receiving gifts but lets be honest I think I love giving even more.
Last year after some holiday my husband said you help everyone else out I need a YOU! So this year in my gift guides I have strategically listed some items I would love to have… you’re welcome Mr. TRM. If you have a husband, boyfriend or dad that needs some help go ahead and just forward him this blog post link! Here are my picks for all the different ladies in your life, I’m a little of all of them.
THE MOM BOSS
Erin Condren Wall Organization Centers– From personalized family dry erase calendars to chore charts these will keep any mom that has A MILLION things going on feel like it’s all smooth sailing (I mean for a bit!)
Apple MacBook Pro– Every mom boos needs a bad ass laptop!! I was lucky enough to receive mine a few years ago and still one of the best and most used presents I received, my MacBook Pro. I LOVE this computer and the Pro with my slider bar and tons of memory just makes me happy. **I was torn because this should also go under all time favorites.
Dyson V11 Torque Drive Cord-Free Vacuum– Doing it all means things get messy and busy ladies don’t have time to lug out a big vacuum grab her the NEWEST cordless Dyson that now comes with a screen that shows how much power is left and has 40% more suction power than the Dyson V8!
Super Simple Cookbook– This cookbook has more than 125 Recipes for Instant, Overnight, Meal-Prepped, and Easy Comfort Foods talk about dinner is done!
Wine Chilling Wands– Y’all I’m busy and sometimes I don’t have time to wait for my wine to chill I need a glass STAT!
Calpak 5-piece packing cubes– Yes I already have basic packing cubes but these leopard print are sooo cute! These wold go great with the new rolling Calpak carryon I got which for any busy boss mom on the go is perfect!
THE SPORTY GAL
Patagonia Pull-Over– This super popular and cozy pull over will make her happy while going out for that run or headed into CrossFit.
Apple AirPods Pro– There are a lot of people that didn’t love the AirPods because they were too big for their ear canal with the new Pro version they have several sizes of pads and AWESOME to pair up to your phone or Apple Watch.
Drink your Effing Water Bottle– At this point I need my water bottle to get fiesty with me and this one is perfect.
Hydroflask- The bottle I really want to carry everywhere, I also LOVE the 21 oz cup with the straw lid… MR. TRM I could use another one!
KAVU Rope Bag Cotton Shoulder Sling Backpack– This sling backpack is great for a pair of shoes and a few race day essentials well according to my friend Sarah who does a ton of races.
Lululemon Show Me the Sherpa Ear Warmer– Because ears get cold in the winter while running!
Sweaty Bands– These hairbands actually stay in place with their no slip velvet. I’m a little in love with the glitter ones!
RoadRunner Id Watch Tag– This personalized tag fits right on your watch band and has any medical or personal information needed just in case.
GRAMMY/NANA/GRANDMA
Barefoot Dreams Cardigan– If you haven’t picked one of these up for mom yet just do it! It is so soft and snuggly but classy enough to also wear out of the house. I’m dying for the new burgundy color and with my mom’s green eyes and dark hair I have a feeling she will want it too.
J.Jill Sweater Tunic– My MIL loves J.Jill and I can understand why! They have high quality, flattering tops that look classy and age appropriate for moms. This tunic is great because it can be dressed up or down depending on what she has going on in her day.
Intelex Warmies Slippers– these cozy slippers have an insert that you can put in the microwave and make even warmer! Perfect for the woman who is on her feet all the time helping out the family.
Rose Gloves– I am lucky that I have gardeners on both sides of my family so digging in the dirt is always a favorite past time. These hardy rose gloves come up high on the sleeve to protect her arm but are soft and pliable to easily work in. I linked the small size but they do come in XS-L.
SOMA Cool Night PJs– I love cool nights pjs and their holiday gifts sets are gorgeous. These are the only pj sets I’ve found that come in different lengths which is great and currently they are on sale for $49!
Kennebunk Bliss Plush Throw– This ultra soft but still light weight is the perfect throw blanket for lounging on the couch. If mom is reading, quilting or just watching the news this throw has 20 colors to match her decor.

Captioned Heart Snapshot Mix– Bring back all the memories of the year with this heart shaped collage where you can put in captions to remember all the great times.

THE CHEF
Vinglace Insulated Wine Chiller– I saw these in a local boutique this summer and they said they couldn’t keep them in stock they were so popular. I’ve been eyeing them for a year and think the grey would fit perfect on my table…

All-Clad Hard Anodized Nonstick Dishwasher Safe 8 & 10 In Cookware Set– Last year my husband went on a throwing away spree and decided he hated all of our non stick pans. Seeing that I had like a day to replace them I headed to Amazon and found this 2 piece set. We use them almost every day and they have held up so well!
Le Creuset Brasier & Dutch Oven 5 1/2QT– Both of these are key pieces in any chef’s kitchen. I love my pink braiser pan since it really holds heat even if my hubby is later to dinner.
Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine– Friends that drink coffee swear by this thing, I don’t so I’m gonna have to take their word for it.
Magnolia Table Cookbook– This has such amazing classic recipes and my kids LOVE the after school banana bread!

Ugg Ansley Slipper– These are my all time favorites, I have two pairs and wear them nearly every day.

Kendra Scott Veronica Hoop Earrings In Gold– I have a MAJOR love for Kendra Scott and these hoop earrings have gone on major rotation and love for me! My friend Cassie let me share her discount code so use HISUGARPLUM to get 20% off your order.
Dyson Airwrap– Last year when this amazing multi purpose hair tool came out it was on major back order so instead of waiting for my hubby to try and grab me one I saw it in stock and bought it for myself as an early birthday present. I have not regretted it a day! If you want to see how it works check out my video!
Peugeot Electric Salt & Pepper Mills– My in-laws got me this pepper grinder at the recommendation of a family member that know the BEST stuff on the market. In the over 8 years I’ve owned it I use it daily and it has outlasted 3 cheaper salt grinders so this year the matching salt grinder is on my list!
Hunter Boots Classic Tall High Gloss Red– These my husband got for me a few years back and every fall and winter I wear them A TON! They never go out of style and are actually really comfortable.
Interlocking Circles Necklace– I get soo many questions about a gold interlocking circle necklace I wear in a lot of my pictures. It is a Cartier love necklace given to me by my husband when my son was born. Since it’s pretty pricey I found a GREAT alternative for under $60.
Chrome Metal Folding Commercial Clothes Rack– Ok I know this one is kinda random but my hubby got it for me a few years ago because I wanted something where I could hang items when I iron but I use it for a TON! Really handy with a garage sale too!
There are a ton of things that are also my favorites that I have in other sections. Also my favorite gift is ALWAYS time with my friends and family. I try to soak in all the moments with my kids since they get so big each year. We love baking cookies, going to the Nutcracker, spending time in our pjs all day and watching Elf. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
