by Leave a Comment

2019 Father's Day Gift Guide!

Father’s Day is coming up quick… it’s next Sunday if you haven’t checked your calendar! Today I’m sharing my picks for the best Father’s Day gifts for any type of Dad. Or maybe just my Dad? I know he would enjoy all the gifts on this list.

2019 – Father’s Day Gifts

Yeti Cooler – I am a huge fan of Yeti products. I’m sure you can tell the’ve made it into my gift guides before. Now this cooler is expensive theres no way to sugar coat it, but if you have a dad that goes camping, fishing or is super into the outdoors this is the perfect cooler for him. It’s a great size for day trips and it’s such high quality! It’s on my wish list and I’m defiantly not a Dad!

Sonos Speaker – My Dad is a huge music fan, he’s always going to concerts and cranking up his radio. I love portable speakers and have a few around my house, but my parts dont have any. I think this Sonos one would be perfect for my Dad to play music all over the house. Oh and it has an Alexa built in!

Spiceology Gift Set – Ok my Dad loves spices, you should see my parents spice cabinet it’s actually ridiculous! I think my Mom would kill me it I bought this set for my Dad, but I know he would love it. Fun spice mixes perfectly made for the BBQ isn’t that every Dad’s thing?!

Drill Set – Dad’s and all men love power tools, heck lots of woman too! And upgrading Dad’s drill is a great idea. My Dad is constantly using power tools, building something, fixing something and his drill could probably use an upgrade.

Game of Thrones Monopoly – Ok I fall into the small category of people who have never watched a single episode of Game of Thrones. I know! I’m that awkward person at work standing around the cubicle listening to everyone discuss the series finales, but having no idea what they are talking about. My Dad on the other hand loves Game of Thrones and would love this game. Perfect for our family game nights!

Webber’s Ultimate Grilling – This is a cookbook I think most men could get behind. Who better to teach you how to grill then Webber? My Dad loves to grill and use all his spices (see above). This book would take his grilling skills to the next level!

Nest Video Doorbell – Ok this gift is for the tech Dad, do you have one of those? I don’t… but I think everyone would enjoy this gadget. This doorbell lets you see who is at your door and you can talk to them through your phone. I think this is a great security feature! No more stolen packages! One thing I’ve learned about Dad’s is that they love peace of mind, and this will give them just that.

Whiskey Wedge – This is such a fun gift. My Dad enjoys a good cocktail and rye whiskey has been his go to drink for a very long time. I think this whiskey ice wedge would be a fun addition to his bar cart.

There you have it my gift guide for Father’s Day 2019. I hope this helps you pick something extra special out for Dad! Check back this Friday for a great Father’s Day recipe that’s sure to make his mouth water!

Mother’s Day Gift Guide

by Leave a Comment

Mother’s day is in less then 2 weeks people! Are you ready? Have you bought a gift for your momma? I haven’t… sorry mom I promise I’m working on it. Here’s the run down of what I think any mom would love to receive this year.

Mother's Day

Jewelry Dish – This adorable jewelry dish would be perfect for any mom especially if paired with one of the jewelry pieces I’ve picked out in this post. I love keeping jewelry dishes on my nightstand and bathroom. Perfect for wedding rings (although I never take mine off), necklaces and earrings you forget to take off before bed.

Let Me Feed You – Doesn’t this title just scream mom (or grandma!). Kidding aside this cookbook is amazing and a must buy for anyone who likes to cook, your momma included.

Dyson Blow Dryer – If you’re planning on really spoiling your mom this year get her the Dyson blow dryer. Now I don’t own on but I’ve used one and I’m here to tell you it’s amazing! It’s on my wish list and it would be a serious treat for mom.

Ugg Slippers – I love these slippers they are so cozy and perfect for the house. They are a bit of an investment though. Well worth it but we all know mom’s don’t spend money on themselves so we have to treat them and these slippers are a well deserved treat.

Rose 31 Perfume – Have you smelt this perfume. I feel like it’s a universally enjoyed scent. I love it and I know you momma will love it too. I love being spoiled with a new perfume and again mom’s just wont buy these things for themselves!

Kendra Scott Necklace – These necklaces are popular for a reason, they never go out pf style. They are so cute and such high quality. And sooo many gem colours to choose from. And perfect on that jewelry dish!

Tea Press – This little tea press is the sweetest thing! I’m obsessed, and rose gold! Perfect for the tea loving momma.

Mama Ring – This ring is so sweet and cute. I think it would be the perfect gift from kiddos to their mama! So cute and sweet and totally on trend.

Ok friends I hope this helps you finish your shopping for your Mamma!

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide: Him & Her

by Leave a Comment

Valentine’s Day is one of my favourite holidays! I think it’s such a fun day to show your loved one’s that you love them. Single or in a relationship there are lots of fun ways to celebrate.

Coming on Saturday is my recipe for heart shaped linzer cookies which are a super fun sweet treat to enjoy with loved ones on Valentine’s Day. For a sneak peak check out my instagram! I’ll also be sharing how we are celebrating Valentine’s Day and how we have celebrated in the past.

Today I am sharing his and hers gift guides. These are some great ideas for your husband, wife, galentine, best buddy or even your parents! My husband doesn’t read my blog, but I might have to send him the link to this post!

Men's Vday Gift Guide

one / two / three / four / five / six

 

I’m really obsessed with the men’s gift guide and a lot of the gifts are unisex and just simply awesome!

  1. Watches are always a great gift and I love Daniel Wellington watches because they are super classic.
  2. Beats Headphones, don’t we all want beats head phones? We were late adapters to wireless headphones and seriously I don’t know why we waited so long! These over the hear Beats Headphones would be such a great upgrade!
  3. Yeti mugs are so great! We use travel mugs daily and I love Yeti because they are dishwasher safe!! Say what?! Yep you heard me! Men are practical so providing them with upgrades to items they use daily is always a safe bet.
  4. We have one Bose bluetooth speaker that we move all over the house to listen to music. The sound quality is fantastic and we love it!
  5. We take coffee very seriously in my house! We have a drip coffee maker, Nespresso and until recently a french press. Our french press broke recently and we’ve been looking for a good manual coffee maker to replace it. I think this pour over brew would be a great option!
  6. I have been a fan of Herschel Supply Co. for years now. I carried their backpacks in college. They are also Canadian which makes my heart happy! I think this bag it the perfect size for a weekend getaway and we need more of those!

 

 

Woman's Vday Gift Guide

one / two / three / four / five / six

 

I love that the gifts for the ladies are sweet, fun and romantic. Perfect for the special lady in your life or your Galentine!

  1. Victoria Secret PJ’s are my absolute favourite! They are worth every penny in my opinion. I have the pant version of this set and I’m obsessed! The adorable short version is on my wish list.
  2. I have a serious sweet tooth and gummy candies are my weakness! Of course Sugarfina takes candy to the next level and I can’t get enough (send me all the champagne bears!)
  3. Diptyque are one of my favourite candles to give and receive as gifts. There is something so elegant and special about them. They also go with everyone’s decor. I think the Baies scent is perfect for Valentine’s day.
  4. Silk pillow cases are fantastic for your skin and your hair. Since switching to silk I noticed a huge difference in my hair. I struggle with serious fizz and this has decreased the frizz so much! What I love about the Slip pillowcases is that they are machine washable! No one have time to dry clean a pillow case!! I also think receiving a silk item from your significant other on Valentines day is very romantic!
  5. I love the whole Barefoot Dreams line and I know I’m not the only one! It’s crazy how soft their products are. I have a cardigan from their line and I can’t get enough. So their blankets are on my wish list and is such a great indulgent gift to receive.
  6. I love to diffuse essential oils so a diffuser is a great gift that’s not only practical but provides ambiance to your space making it a romantic and special gift.

 

There you have it gift guides for the special men and woman in your life!

Ok guys this is my very last gift guide before Christmas! I’m a little sad since I’ve enjoyed making these for you. I hope your Christmas shopping is going well and you’re not too stressed! If you need more gift ideas and missed the other two gift guides check them out here, and here. Now let’s get into it!

one / two / three / four / five / six

Just like the last gift guide everything on this list is either something I own and love or something on my own wish list!

  1. This book teaches you a super scientific method of cooking, and although I believe it having fun and not stressing and throwing out the rulebook in the kitchen. I think a book like this will help anyone tighten up their skills take a typical home cook to the next level. Also the friend chicken sandwich in this book is heaven, it worth it for the sandwich. The Food Lab.
  2. I love Joanna Gaines, her style, her personality and her family. And I love that she is a home cook sharing her favourite recipes. I think it’s really fun to see a home cook come out with a book like this.  Magnolia Table.
  3. No cookbook gift guide is complete without including Chrissy Teigan’s second book. Not only is she a girl after my own heart with her love of cheese. But it’s the perfect book for pop culture lovers. Even someone who doesn’t cook would enjoy this book.  Cravings Hungry for More.
  4. This is a super fun cocktail book. All the drinks have fun literary based names! Plus who doesn’t want to try a new cocktail. This is a perfect hostess gift too! Tequila Mockingbird.
  5. I got this book at my bridal shower along with my cast iron pan, and thank goodness! I was terrified to start using the pan until I read this book and understood how to treat my new baby. And on top of all the cast iron care tips I love the recipes. It really expands your mind as to what you can do with cast iron. Cook In Cast Iron.
  6. No list is complete with out the queen Ina! She is impeccable in every way. I watched her cook like a pro series and loved that she shows you how to use your skills as a home cook to wow guests. It helps you thin outside the box when entertaining. And I just love Ina, Jeffery and her roast Chicken! Cook Like a Pro.

Ok that’s it! My last gift guide for 2018! Now go finish your shopping!

Ok guys we are talking gifts for the baker today. This is the second post in my gift guide series for 2018. I can’t believe we’re getting so close to Christmas, but there is still time to finish your shopping! So let’s jump right into the gift guide!

one / two / three / four / five / six

Just like the last gift guide everything on this list is either something I own and love or something on my own wish list!

  1. I love cake stands! I think they are so fun and this one with the wood and glass dome would be perfect to leave out on your counter full of muffins or treats! Libby Wood Cake Stand
  2. A Kitchen Aid mixer is a must for any baker! I think this is the perfect model for a home baker. For our first Christmas my husband (then boyfriend) bought me a Kitchen Aid Classic mixer. I cried on Christmas morning I was so happy! I had wanted one since I was a kid watching Martha and Ina! (totally normal right?) Since mines a Classic model I have taken to upgrading its attachments over the years, but  if I ever have to replace it I will buy this one! KitchenAid Artisan Series
  3. I love decorative bakeware and Emile Henry makes beautiful pieces. I can’t wait to add to my collection. Fluted Loaf Pan
  4. These cookie sheets are perfection. My Grandma always used AirBake cookie sheets, so I use AirBake cookie sheets. I swear it’s impossible to burn your cookies. AirBake Cookie Sheets
  5. So this one has been on my list for a while… since I saw Martha use them when I was 8. Why didn’t I watch cartoons? Anyway, I would like to be a bit more green in 2019 and one easy way to do that is cut down on the amount of parchment paper I use. So I will be switching to Silpat, and fulfilling my life long dream to be more like Martha. Silpat Baking Mat
  6. I got this french rolling pin as a bridal shower gift and I love it! It’s so easy to use, it’s light, super affordable and it’s chic. I think Ina would approve (ok this is turning into TV chefs I admire). French Rolling Pin
  7. This USA sheet pan with cooling rack is probably one of my most used kitchen items. I use it for many recipes from making bacon in the oven to crisping up leftover pizza and it’s a must in my BBQ-less BBQ Chicken! I am slowly but surely getting all my friends and family to buy this awesome sheet pan combo! It’s easily my most used wedding gift! USA Sheet Pan and Rack

Ok everyone that’s it for the Bakers Gift Guide! Come back next Wednesday for my cookbook gift guide!

I can’t believe it’s time to talk Christmas shopping already! I feel like Christmas has really snuck up on me this year. Normally I am done all my Christmas shopping by December 1st so that I can enjoy the lead up to Christmas without the stress of actually shopping. Unfortunately this year I have barely scratched the surface.  That’s where Amazon comes in right? So I thought I would help you out with gift guides every Wednesday until Christmas! So to start things off the gift guide for the chef in your life!

Cook's Gift Guide 2018

one / two / three / four / five / six

Everything in this gift guide I either own and love or are currently on my wish list…. Santa if you’re listening I’d like to see dutch oven under the tree! 

  1. I love wooden cutting boards not only are they fantastic investment pieces for your kitchen, but they double as serving pieces! I love my wooden cutting boards and John Boos makes the best. I also love this deep walnut colour! Walnut John Boos Cutting Board
  2. I’ve been watching a lot of Jamie Oliver lately and man does he even love his mortar and pestle. I bought my day a dark granite version of the one on this gift guide for Christmas a few years ago and I think it’s time to add one to my kitchen too! White Mortar and Pestle
  3. I love my olive oil dispenser. They look great on your counter and allow you to buy olive oil in bulk… wait am I the only one who buys mass quantities of olive oil at a time? Regardless I think this would be an unexpected but great stocking stuffer! Olive Oil Dispenser
  4. This Staub dutch oven has been on my wish list for a few years now… it was even on my wedding registry. I think I will have to break down and buy it myself during all the after Christmas sales! No one in my life understands my need for a heavy bottomed enamel pot that can go in the oven! You guys do though right? Staub 5.5 Quart Cocotte
  5. The holly grail of blenders, a Vitamix! Not only a Vitamix, but a white one (that makes me way too happy!). This is another permanent fixture on my wish list. My basic blender just isn’t making the cut anymore… huge chunks of kale in my daily smoothie make me want to cry! Vitamix A2300 Ascent Series Smart Blender
  6. This USA sheet pan with cooling rack is probably one of my most used kitchen items. I use it for many recipes from making bacon in the oven to crisping up leftover pizza and it’s a must in my BBQ-less BBQ Chicken! I am slowly but surely getting all my friends and family to buy this awesome sheet pan combo! It’s easily my most used wedding gift! USA Sheet Pan and Rack

Ok! There you have it my 2018 Gift Guide for the Chef in your life! I had so much fun putting this together for you, so I hope you enjoy it! Come back next Wednesday for the Bakers Gift Guide!
