L'Occitane Verbena Sachet. A sweet smelling surprise for your dresser or closet.

Adagio Tea of the Month Club, for the tea drinker who likes a little variety.

And to store those teas a Birch look tea tin, made of "Momi-gami " paper. Teavana

Gift Guide: Him

Because guys can often be difficult to buy for, I perused the web for some fun gift ideas. So instead of getting your guy a watch he doesn't wear (Mike) or a shirt that you think he would look good in, check out the list below for some inspiration.

Leatherman Multi Tool. Because what guy doesn't need all this in his pocket:

Straight Knife

Gift Guide: Babies

When it comes to baby gear, I love a nice mix of vintage and modern. I'm not really into overly cutesy baby gear and instead prefer the more classic styles. So, I've rounded up some sweet vintagey modern baby gear for your gift giving pleasure:

Isn't this Little Sapling Little Owl Teether the sweetest?

No caption needed for this adorable Vintage Super Hero Cap

Robeez Soft Soles Lollipop Monster

Gift Guide: Dogs

Starting off the gift guide with gifts for dogs. Don't forget your favorite pooch this holiday season. I know I could never forget Olive's cute face

Since Olive started tearing the fuzz of her tennis balls, maybe this Planet Dog Orbee Tuff Artichoke will stand up to her.

Even when Olive rocked a pink polka dotted collar, people called her "he", so this collar flower helps with the girly factor. I love this so much, I made my own (though clearly not as chic). Also check out their bowties

I'm crazy about this handmade elevated dog bowl feeder

Olive loves these natural dog treats, and they also sell the perfect little training treats

The only chew that lasts for longer than a day, in fact after two months, ours is still going strong.

Stay tuned for more gift guides including babies, kids, him and her...
