Teresa's Top 10 Favorite Things To Gift
A gift guide for those you love!
Welcome to a gift guide I have been wanting to WRITE for literally years because my mom is the best. Her name is Teresa and she is the ultimate boss babe and owner of a workforce managment company. Her company has multiple locations in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and Tennessee. ! Since I can remember she has bought individualized gifts for all of her employees ALWAYS!!!!
A little background
So if you know my mom in any shape or form you know she is a gift giver. SHE LOVES TO GIVE GIFTS. Teresa gives GOOD GIFTS too! Even as adults we all get excited for what she is going to get all of us adults and our children. She gives amazing gifts to her staff and her friends. Like we get jealous because other people get such great gifts! I know I know it is about the gifts. But my mom (I don’t think gets enough credit for everything she does for me and well literally everyone) Maybe this blog post is actually just turning into a way to Thank her for being so incredible to all of us well forever! She is tough, loving, caring, hardworking and driven! I could go on and on! She is my toughest critic and biggest supporter. I always says the only follower that ever throws shade is my mother but hey where would I be without her?! Honestly? I have no idea! She is the first person I call when I need literally anything in life! Going through my divorce made me realize I do not know what I would ever do without her. She likely won’t even read this blog post but Hey Mom! Thank you for everything you have EVER DONE for Elliott and I! I can honestly say you are not told that enough. You bring peace to my soul on my darkest days. And now I am sobbing writing this which was actually never my intention when I set out writing this blog post.
The actual gift guide for basically ANYONE!
So I said last year I wanted to write a blog post called Teresa’s Favorite Things. It would be the most epic culmination of her best gifts she has given or her go to gifts she gives everyone! She is notorious for a pair of Tiffany’s Pearls or a collection of Lulu lemon! Truly her staff knows that at a certain number of years they will get the coveted blue tiffany box. My sister in law and I were like YESSSS if she bought us anything off this list we would be SOOOO FREAKING EXCITED! SO maybe you send this to your parents, grandparents, significant other to share like HEY! What great ideas these are! Just an fyi some of the links are commissionable so I may take a home a few dollars if you purchase from my links which is great because that helps fund Caffeine Until Cocktails (fun fact websites are not free)! Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday!
WE MADE IT TO THE ACTUAL LIST!
I have linked everything I can link at this LINK here! So you can easily find these goodies! But each individual item also has links as well!
Boll & Branch Sheets YES EXPENSIVE! Several big bloggers will have 20% off codes on black friday (Krista Horton & Kathleen Barnes) so check their pages but honestly these sheets are life changing!
Lulu Lemon Backpacks, belt bags, align leggings, hats and sweaters.
Tiffany’s Pearls, David Yurman Bangle This is simple! A classic statement piece will impress anyone! You can never go wrong with gifting a classic/timeless piece of jewelry that someone will have forever!
Summersalt PJ’s MY ALL TIME FAVORITE! I literally told my mom just buy these for every single holiday!
Potterybarn Frame Ornaments AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC! They have the year on them and my mom buys every single year!
Smart Wool Socks TRUST ME! you will never go back! The perfect stocking stuffer and I literally request these every single year because well they are my FAVORITE NOW!
Tommy John Basics My step dad RAVES about Tommy John and I have seen the bloggers post discount codes so use those if you can!
E Newton Bracelets— purchase at Eccentrics Boutique if you are local to Southern Illinois!
Kendra Scott necklaces—purchase at Eccentrics Boutique if you are local to Southern Illinois!
EXPERIENCES!!!!!—seriously this is one of my favorite things my mom has ever done. She bought every kid a calendar and picked a weekend a month and planned a fun excursion for us all to do as a family!
I AM SO EXCITED to see what Teresa decides is this years IT gift for everyone! Because typically it isn’t just one person gets it—everyone is getting that ONE BIG amazing gift! I hope this helps with your needs/wants! and again Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
