Pretty Darn Cute Gift Guide • Pretty Darn Cute Design

Hi Friends! I’m excited to share our very first Pretty Darn Cute Gift Guide with you. I love this time of year! While gifts are absolutely not super important, it sure is fun to give (and shop!). This is a very carefully curated list of things I personally own, things I have bought for someone, as well as items I’ve placed on my wish list this year. I hope this guide helps you find the perfect gift for the special people in your life.

For You

Boll & Branch Sheets – These are “The sheets 3 living US Presidents sleep on!” There are no words sufficient in describing how fantastic they feel. Look for a separate, detailed blog post singing their praises. Warning, you’ll be “that” person who has to tell everyone you know about them. You will not be disappointed, but you may have a few annoyed friends who will thank you later.

 

 

Pink Tourmaline Necklace – This stunning, naturally formed raw Pink Tourmaline pendant from The Woven Dream is on my wish list this year. Owner, Hayley Rose, has generously provided two separate discount codes for Pretty Darn Cute readers, valid now until the 25th December 2016:
PrettyJewels20 – 20% off with code for all jewelry including custom pieces.
PrettyAuz20 – 20% off everything in store if purchased in AU.

 

 

Human Coalition – Give the gift of life and hope this Christmas. There are many women facing difficult decisions each day, and this non-profit is one of true love in action. They pledge food, shelter, clothing, childcare, material supplies, and employment training to expectant mothers in need.

 

 

 

 

Guerlain Lingerie Foundation – This foundation makeup is like butter. It goes on light, smooth, and covers just enough keeping your skin looking naturally glowy. Go a shade lighter than usual.

 

 

Golden Pink Eyeshadow Stick – This Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick goes on immediately following my eyeshadow primer (This primer, by Urban Decay is my favorite.), and provides the perfect subtle sparkle. Perfect worn alone, or under eyeshadow. I rarely purchase the same thing twice when it comes to makeup, because I love to play, but I’m on my fourth rose gold shadow stick.

 

 

TADA! DIY Your Website – This is no shameless plug, it’s something I really do gift friends who want to begin learning the ins and outs of web design. TADA is the closest thing to having a web designer (me) with 12 years of experience (also me) sit right next to you and show you how, while sharing tricks of the trade along the way. Another crop of new tutorials are set to launch early next year, so get it now before the price goes back up.
Bonus: 60% off until Christmas using code: giftguide

 

 

For Your Kids

Colorful Heart Garland – My kids love a little festiveness added to any room, for any occasion. Sometimes we even celebrate a Tuesday for the heck of it 😉 This colorful garland is inexpensive, and the perfect amount of fun for any celebration.

 

 

Puffin Hardcover Classics Box Set – Full disclosure, I *really* bought these for myself. They’re so pretty, and colorful on the white shelf in my office. They’ll be a wonderful keepsake for my girls as they get older.

 

 

Osmo Coding Game – I have a love/hate relationship with technology when it comes to my kiddos and screen time. The Love side of that wins out when it comes to this awesome contraption. My eight year old jokes that she’s my intern, so I better start her young learning to code 😉 “Osmo Coding teaches problem solving and logic skills, it helps kids succeed in an increasingly digital world. With Osmo, coding is approachable, creative, and fun. Just snap physical blocks together to create sequences of commands and easily learn computer programming fundamentals.”

 

 

Put A Bow On It Printable – I designed this for my office, painted the frame mat emerald green, and it just makes me smile. It would be so cute in a little girl’s room as well. The official Pretty Darn Cute bow can now add a little whimsy to your home as well as your home on the web. This Put A Bow On It Printable Art Download will add just the right amount of feminine flair to any room of your home. This simple, and sophisticated art print is an instant download. As we like to say in our house, “when in doubt, put a bow on it™!”

 

 

For a Friend

Sherrie’s Berries Cheesecake Bites – I sent these to Susan for her birthday last month, and they were so cute! Such a “sweet” little surprise to have show up on your friend’s doorstep.

 

 

Sweeter Than Honey: A Coloring Book to Nourish Your Soul – I love this. Everything about it. While this will not be released/shipped until January, you can pre-order and have it shipped to your friend’s house, and print a little picture of it to place in a Christmas Card. “This book includes never-before-seen prints from Lindsay Sherbondy, artist and owner of the online shop Lindsay Letters, as well as a few favorites, alongside devotionals and quotes that lead you to reflect upon reflect upon the sweet and beautiful nourishment God offers.” As a bonus, each perforated page becomes its own 8×10 art print! As you color and meditate on these words, let them feed your heart and mind, energize your life, and restore your soul.”

 

 

 

 

For a Teacher

Ultimate Website Bundle for Teachers – From our very own Susan, this bundle includes everything a Teacher needs to get start a website, including hosting, domain, and one on one training with Susan. This is the gift that will keep on giving, for real.

 

 

Kate Spade Apple Pendant Necklace – Months back I saw this necklace and snatched one up for Chloe’s Teacher’s Christmas present. The pendant is larger in person, and great quality. It’s simple, and elegant, but fun!

 

 

Super Teacher Tumbler – Teachers are so important, and shopping for them can be tough because you want to get *the* perfect gift, so I’m always on the lookout for cute things that also serve function. This colorful tumbler checks both boxes.

 

 

For Your Office

Letter Exchange Board – How cool would this be in your office, kitchen, or by the front door? This fun little board is on my wish list this year.

 

 

Vintage Pink Telephone – I bought this for my office last year, and it’s SO fun. It’s an actual working phone if you want it to be, and a hit with the kiddos. And, oh the memories it brings back of my Mom wrapping the telephone cord around the house while she talked on the phone when we were kids. 🙂

 

 

Gold Round Metal Mouse Pad – I purchased the rose gold version of this pretty little thing, and absolutely love it. It’s double sided, looks elegant and does it’s job well.

 

 

Twinkle Lights! – And, last but certainly not least, twinkle lights. As a firm believer that lighting is an essential aspect of every room, I had to include my favorites. These twinkle lights provide such a fun ambience, and that extra “something”.

 

 

I’m off to finish up some Christmas shopping myself, I hope this list helped you scratch some names off your list and that you had some fun along the way!
