**If you are a member of my extended family, please stop reading or you won’t be very surprised on Christmas morning!**

I love giving gifts – gift giving is definitely my love language! Every year though, I rack my head around what exactly to gift our families – our parents, siblings, grandparents, etc.

This year, we decided to really scale back. We feel that Christmas is really about the kids, and they are the ones that should be spoiled! But our families do so much for us, and help us with Grace that we of course want to show our appreciation!

One – I know socks seem kind of silly, but I love giving fun, printed socks. There’s nothing cheerier than Santa socks!

Two – I am loving all the classic shaving kits – this is a travel sized one and under $20 – perfect if there is a male in your life who travels often!

Three – Cheese board and cutting set is the perfect gift for the woman in your life who likes to entertain!

Four – This is one of my favorite scents, and roller perfume sticks are a great stocking stuffer for your sister or cousin. I always keep one in my purse for a little pick me up!

Five – I’m a sucker for cute mugs and anything with a monogram. Pair it with their favorite coffee or tea!

Six – I was walking through Nordstrom the other day and stumbled across this blanket – it was SO soft!!

Some other favorites include photo gifts and gift cards/gift certificates. Our family loves getting updated photos of Gracie as she grows (I usually use Snapfish or Shutterfly!). Gift cards are great as well – my favorites are for coffee, a mani/pedi or to their favorite restaurant!

Please feel free to share your gift ideas for your families as well, I would love to hear them!
