Kalissa’s Gift Giving Guide

I like to pride myself in being a good gift giver. If you’re stuck on what to buy for who this holiday season, you’ve come to the right place.

If you ever purchase any amazon products from MY link, I do get commission. If you buy, let’s just say, $150 worth of other stuff while you’re on Amazon by following my link, I also get commission on those things you purchase. It’s a way to support my blog and it is a way to score some great quality products. I just want to be honest with you guys. I would have raved about this product even if I didn’t make any money off of it.

Baby Einstein Star Bright Symphony Toy

I LOVE this star and it is a staple for any baby gift I give. I can hang it on their baby gym, car seat, crib etc. I love the music and they love the lights! It would make a great stocking stuffer for the new little one in your life!

Contigo Autoseal Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Thermal Coffee Travel Mug 

These things are titanium. I have SEVERAL contigo waterbottles. My mom was riding in the car with me the other day and I tipped mine upside down and threw it in the diaper bag. She reached in to grab it quick before it spilled but I was NOT concerned. These things are truly leak proof. I put them in back packs, I can drop them down the stairs, I can do anything and if it is a contigo water bottle, it won’t budge. This is the energizer bunny of waterbottles. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold. I’ll put ice in it before I go to bed and it will still be there when I wake up! Who wouldn’t want a super sturdy waterbottle!? Everyone could use some hydration!

Handmade Bubble Bath Bomb

We LOVE bath bombs at our house! If you haven’t jumped on the bath bomb craze yet, bath bombs are these soap kind of ball that you put into the water and it fizzes and turns your bathwater a different color AND smells amazing! This is actually a gift set – 24 bath bombs are broken into 4 separate boxes to be gifted or for you to use all on your own! Carver and Gannon love the bath bombs and Craig and I do too!

I’ve raved on about how wonderful this tote is in this blog post: http://www.thepinkshoelaces.com/a-dead-car-battery-chicken-lo-mein-a-bike-and-a-super-cute-tote/

I’ve gone on to sell a TON of them on Amazon and I’ve heard nothing but wonderful reviews! They have new patterns all the time – I don’t see my black and white striped bag there at the moment but it could come back! My sister has bought several of these totes as well and loves them!
