Happy Friday and I bet you all have happy hearts and stuffed bellies. Lots of goodness today. Some life happenings and sweet gift ideas. Tuesday, I brought you some fantastic AMAZON fashion gift ideas. Today just throwing a few more ideas your way but some recent fun as well.
1. Chicago
As you may know, Mr. Nine and I went to Chicago for an overnight on Sunday. We walked around town, ate at Shake Shack, went to the Christkindlemart and had some warm Glühwein, took a nap and met friends for the Chicago Bears game, it was a chilly late night but so fun! The next morning, we had our favorite breakfast at West Egg and heading home so Mr. Nine could get to the office. Here are some highlights.
2. MERRY Sweater
Oh how I feel so festive in this Merry Sweater. It will be great for lounging and for wearing out.

3. UGGS
And let’s talk about my new favorite UGGS I have on with the sweater! Wouldn’t these make a great gift. I’ve never had a short pair before and love them so much. As seen in the photo below, they can be worn up or down.
BUY UGGS HERE
4. COZY GIFT IDEAS and MEAT
Chunky Knit Blanket
These chunky blankets are everywhere and I am in love. I got one for the Christmas Bedroom that I'll be showing you on Monday. Normally they are like $200, bbt I found some for under $100. 
BUY HERE
Barefoot Dreams Blanket...My color is Baaaack!
I've mentioned this blanket before and it is a treasure. My color (ocean/cream) has been sold out forever but it is back!! Yes, this blanket is pricey but that is why it will be such a special gift. You'll see mine in the mug picture below. Whoever you give this too,
maybe even yo-self (lol)..will feel so special!
BUY HERE
Let's Talk Meat...
I know, I know, a ground meat tool as a gift? But I have wanting this ground meat chopper for awhile now. So cool and such a help..how tedious when you are chopping up the ground beef, turkey or chicken with a spoon.
BUY HERE
5. MUGS
You can never go wrong with MUGS as a gift, I know I can never have enough and have showcased them many of times on the blog before.
Adore this one from Pottery Barn and on sale for like $5!!! Lots of Letters
BUY INITIAL MUG HERE
These are the BEST, I saved mine Mr. Nine got me "For Good" for like ever. JUST DRINK outta it...my favorite color Yeti stuff! Will keep your coffee warm all day...great "man" colors too!

My mom got me this one and it is still one of my favorites, just love the pink and it has been through the Dishwasher many times and the pretty gold writing has never came off. Plus, all the mugs are on sale this week! You can get 2 mugs for under $10!

Ive always wanted to make one of those chunky knit blankets! I would have to buy sooo much of that yard to complete one. I think they are cheaper bought that to try and make one. I love your “Merry” sweater. Looks so bright and cheery. I have a black “Yeti” mug and use it everyday. Its not the prettiest but its the best and I love the big square handle!
ReplyDeleteLisa
My favorite is the blanket! I love the chunkiness of it; will def. have to add to my list this year!
ReplyDeleteI live the idea of the meat chopper. I have the Yeti tumbler. Would love to get the coffee cup as well. They really do stay hot and cold forever!
ReplyDeleteLacey@fairytalesandfitness
The blanket is fantastic! Wow! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a great Chicago trip!! Love Shake Shack! I have the yeti cup (a wedding thank you from my sister) which I need to try some chili and soups in! I hope you are enjoying your weekend girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteAmanda @ Cupcake N Dreams
Oh my gosh, grey and cream are my daughter's colors! I love that blankie!! And I know she would, too. Its going on my growing longer by the day list, lol!!
ReplyDeleteYour trip looks and sounds like so much fun! :) I really really like that 'Merry' knit, it's so fun and festive, a shame Christmas is in summer time here!
