For this final installment of the {hello holiday} gift guides, I wanted to share a few ideas for your book loving friends. I had one particular friend that I had in mind while I was making up this guide. If you have any friends who always have a book in their hand, here are a few ideas!

{1}
print representing one of their favorite books would be a great gift.
{2}
For the more modern reader, a classic kindle cover.
{3}
Every good bibliophile needs a good set of bookplates. These should do the trick.
{4}
mug like this has made an appearance here before. It’s just too perfect not to share again.
{5}
This tote is perfect for frequent trips to the library.
{6}
Who wouldn’t love a few bookmarks of their favorite authors?

I hope you have all enjoyed the {hello holiday} gift guides! Be sure the check the rest of them out!

 

I’ve been a craft lover for most of my life. My momma use to craft all the time. I lost it somewhere along the way and lately have been coming back to it. Honestly, I kind of can’t get enough of it lately. If you have a friend or family member like this… here’s a great gift guide for them!

{1}
Notecards for knitters from Jack & Ella.
{2}
May seem silly, but these vintage train cases make excellent sewing boxes. I know because I have one myself.
{3}
cross stitch pattern that you can stitch up yourself or you could make a little gift basket of all the materials needed for her to do it. Sewing Seed has quite a few options {but this pig makes me giggle.}
{4}
These mini sewing set of rubber stamps would be great for a friend who sews. They would be great to add to business cards, tags and notes.
{5}
This print from Yellow Heart Art would be a perfect to frame and give to someone who does indeed make pretty things all day.
{6}
One of the sweetest pin cushions I’ve ever seen from Sea Pinks.

 

I love buying gifts for my friends. Sadly, I’ve had to cut back on that lately, and probably will have to for quite a while! If I did have the extra cash though, here are a few of my favorite picks for your favorite friends.

{1}
I don’t think I could ever have enough little pouches to store stuff. I love this one from Petunia Blooms. Plus, it comes with an adorable matching hair clip! Use the code BEMERRY for 15% off!

{2}
This market bag from simple things is so sweet and simple. It would be an instant favorite of mine!

{3}
I adore these sweet little initial necklaces from Anne Kiel. Certainly better than better than those BFFL half heart necklaces from when you were 5. 

{4}
Chances are, your best friend has the same fashion sense as you do. The line of Farmer’s Market dresses at oh, sweet joy! is perfect. Use the code GIFTGUIDE for 10% off!

{5}
Rings don’t often catch my eye, but this libra ring from elephantine always does. I can think of a few friends that would love it too.

{6}
This Cotton Lane Bake Me a Cake apron is perfect for your friend who can put the Ace of Cakes to shame. Use the code BEMERRY for 15% off!

I’m not going to lie, I usually have an easy time shopping for my momma. Though I do think I have hit a rut of getting her solely kitchen things lately. Hopefully I can mix things up a bit this year! Here are a few of my top picks for our moms this Christmas…

{1}
This sweet floral locket with a picture of her favorite child {you of course} would be lovely.
{2}
A vintage inspired hot pad from Moxie Mandie for her kitchen.
{3}
A batch of striped tea towels from One Sydney Road are something she’d appreciate.
{4}
Get her excited for spring gardening with an adorable apron from pam wares.
{5}
If she’s anything like my momma then she would love this super rare Fenton hobnail milk glass bowl.
{6}
Mom’s are always writing notes to people. How about gifting her these flat notes from Starshaped Press to encourage it.

Next to guys, I’ve always thought kids can be tricky to shop for. Typically its the older ones that are hard {trust me with a 12 year old nephew and a 16 year old niece, I know!} But even the littler ones can be complicated sometimes especially if you are aiming for handmade gifts rather than the usual loud plastic toy. Here are a few of my favorite ideas:

{1}
This onesie from Witty Bitty speaks for itself.
{2}
This handsome Jack Tee from es+es would have any little girl swooning.
{3}
I’m obsessed with all of these wooden toys. Particularly the little cars.
{4}
A headband from much love illy is perfect for any little girl. Check out her post here for some great discount codes for the weekend! {Use BLACKFRIDAY30 for 30% off today only!}
{5}
A fun crinkle toy from Alexandra Rose for the little ones.
{6}
These knit elephants from 72stitches are too cute and I’d imagine are fun to play with. This guy is pretty awesome too.
