I’m sure my husband isn’t the only one who breaks out in a cold sweat when it “gift giving season” comes around. We’ve been together for 13 years but he will attest that it has yet to get easier to purchase a gift for me. Ooops! I personally think I’m pretty easy to buy for (I mean walk into Target and pick out something and chances are you’ll score) but I think most of the men in our lives struggle a little bit figuring out what exactly we want. Sure, some men will pop into the jewelry store (and I’ll include some jewelry ideas) and pick out something bright and shiny (none of us will complain about that) but I think more often than not we want something practical we can use daily and is going to make our lives a little easier or more enjoyable – right? Or maybe this is just a sign that I’m officially in my 30’s and no longer have the 20’s mindset… Regardless, here’s a little gift guide of what I think are some ladies’ favorites! Let’s see if you agree!
Keurig K250 Single Serve, Programmable K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker (Turquoise)
A Slim and Sleek Keurig Single Serve Coffee Maker, the Keurig K250 brews a rich, smooth, and delicious cup every time with the quality you expect from Keurig. With a strength control setting for a bolder brew, and multiple K-Cup, K-Mug, and K-Carafe pod brew sizes, you can customize your settings to get your perfect cup. Plus, an easy-to-use touch screen makes your brewing experience stress free. Whether you like your coffee strong, mild, decaf, or flavored, you can brew all of your favorites with the Keurig K250 – and with large 48oz water reservoir, you can brew 6+ cups before having to refill. Discover hundreds of K-Cup pod varieties from all of the brands you love, including Green Mountain Coffee, Starbucks, and Lipton, and enjoy coffee, tea, hot cocoa and more.
First of all, it’s turquoise so we’re already winning there. 😉 No, but really it does come in different colors (a girl has to have options) so if turquoise isn’t your thing – there are quite a few different options to choose from. I’m actually not a coffee drinker anymore (GASP!) but I am a major hot tea drinker (multiple cups a day) and I LOVE having my Keurig to fix me a perfect temperature cup of tea! My husband is a coffee drinker and loves the K-cups so it’s a perfect addition to our kitchen counter. I think it will be for yours, too.

Dyson V7 Motorhead Cord Free Vacuum
The Dyson V7 Moorhead cord-free vacuum has 75 percent more brush bar power than the Dyson V6 cord-free vacuum. Engineered for all floor types, the direct-drive cleaner head drives bristles into the carpet to remove ground-in dirt. The Dyson V7 Moorhead cord-free vacuum quickly transforms to a handheld for quick clean UPS, spot cleaning and cleaning difficult places. Cleans hard floors with extra power for carpets.
This is another device that I already have and LOVE. Mamas, you know better than anyone how quickly a mess can manifest in your house. Whether it’s your kids taking off their sneakers that mysteriously are filled with buckets of sand or the Cheerios that somehow left their rightful place in their bowl and wound up on the floor a mess can happen in less than 5 seconds, multiple times a day, every day. THIS vacuum has been my saving grace! It’s cordless so not having to worry to drag out the long cord and find an outlet (that is conveniently located by the mess) is awesome. Plus, guys, I’m such a sucker for packaging and I can’t help but love that this is pink! Dyson is pricy but it’s by far the best vacuum brand I’ve ever used!

Clarisonic’s patented micro-massage motion works within skin’s natural elasticity to gently remove the impurities traditional cleansing methods leave behind. Cleanses 6x better than with your hands alone in just 60 seconds. Skin is softer, smoother and more beautiful. Prepares skin for better absorption of creams, moisturizers and flawless makeup application. The new Clarisonic Sonic Foundation Brush has ultra-long, wavy fibers that get a better grip on formula and gently micro-blend your makeup 300 times per second for the smoothest application.
Mini spa treatment every single night with this baby! The Clarisonic is by far the best investment I’ve made into my daily skincare routine! I personally have the Mia Fit 2 but this little holiday bundle is awesome and the biggest difference between the Mia 2 and the Mia Fit is the size. I like having the smaller one to keep on my shower shelf but it’s really just a preference! They both will leave your face feeling so fresh and so clean, clean!

Apple Watch 38mm Rose Gold Aluminum Case with Pink Sand Sport Band
Whether you choose a Series 1, 2 or newest 3 I think your lady will be SO excited to receive an Apple Watch under the tree (especially in rose gold). I personally went for the Series 2, it’s $100 less than the Series 3 and based on the differences (including below) it felt like the better option for my personal needs for the watch!
Design: The design is almost identical, with only a tiny, fractional change in size. That’s impressive considering the Apple Watch 3 has a new LTE antenna and altimeter crammed inside. The Apple Watch 3 can be easily identified by its red digital crown.
Specs: The Apple Watch 3 promises 70% faster performance and 85% better Wi-Fi performance and 50% better wireless energy efficiency. It also includes an LTE cellular connection for the first time and an altimeter for elevation data during outdoor activities.
Battery life: Battery life is said to be the same between both models.
End of the day, it’s totally up to you and what you think you need (or your lady wants) in the device! I also have to include this awesome little Apple Watch & iPhone Dock (in rose gold) that I scooped up that is perfect for the night stand definitely completes the gift set for this one! And while I’m on (rose gold) extras I have to mention these Wireless Ear Buds that I also scooped up (stocking stuffer) that are amazing and definitely fit the theme we have going over here!
