Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word is never thrown away. — Arthur Helps

Kyle and I have started compiling our gift guides.  This year, I decided that we should do something a little different.  While we will still suggest great gifts for  your nearest and dearest, our posts will also teach you how to take some of the guesswork out of gift giving.

We’ll talk about how to strategize a gift for a Secret Santa, how to tackle those in-law gifts that are such a challenge, and how to pick a gift that your partner will actually love.  Check back in tomorrow for our first gift guide: Tech Gifts for Everyone.

See you then!

    COULD REALLY USE SOME HELP WITH SECRET SANTA AT WORK – THE KIND WHERE YOU DON’T KNOW WHO WILL END UP WITH YOUR GIFT!! THANKS

    That power suit article was so interesting! Fun to read and nod along with my similar experiences of pulling out a suit on a random day after not wearing it for some time. Definitely gives a rush of “power endorphins.”

  4. Katherine says:

    That Ted Baker dress is fantastic. Fingers crossed it fits.

  5. Jules says:

    I know it’s unromantic but it works every time! 🙂 My husband and I just send each other the exact URL of the item we want. 100% success rate with our gifts so far, lol.
    Luckily, with both my mom and my MIL, they don’t want any physical items. We just take them out to a nice meal and spend quality time together.

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
