Holiday Gift Guide 2016 -- Calendars, Planners, & Journals

One of my favorite things about the end of the year is the hope, possibility, and clean slate that comes with a new year. 

I love buying a new planner and writing down all the important dates on the clean, crisp pages. 

A new calendar, planner, or journal makes the perfect gift this time of year!

Here are a few of my favorites...

One -- Perfect for any Lilly Pulitzer lover

Two -- If I don't receive this journal for Christmas, I'll be buying it for myself

Three -- This is my planner of choice; I've been using one for the past seven years

Four -- I love these five year journals

Five -- So chic! Great for friends with a desk job!

Six -- Would be great for anyone doing a semester abroad

Seven -- The best way to plan your bucket list

Eight -- I love these calendars (I turned one into a gallery wall)

Nine -- Based on one of my favorite books, The Happiness Project

Holiday Gift Guide 2016 -- Christmas Ornaments

My aunt gives me a Christmas ornament every year at the start of the holiday season. She has given me one every year since I was born, so I have quite the collection -- 29 aunt-given ornaments -- to be exact. (I can't believe I'll be 30 in just a few short months -- but that is a whole different post...)

I love unpacking all of my ornaments when I decorate the tree. Each ornament brings me right back to the age I was when I received it. I have horse ornaments from when I was a little girl and frog ornaments from when I was a teenager. Hubby and I received a First Christmas ornament from the year we were married and two years ago we received an ornament to commemorate the purchase of our first home. 

Ornaments make such great gifts. I am planning on starting an ornament collection for my sweet niece. This year she started taking ballet lessons, so I am thinking of this ornament. 

Here are some adorable ornaments that would make perfect gifts for anyone on your wish list!

One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven | Eight
