Holiday Shopping Guide | Wit & Wonder

Thank you so much for the sweet comments on this year’s Dream Tree. So I was thinking, gosh, everyone will think we are crazy for showing our tree ideas already. It’s so early. Truth. Having said that, there are only 7 Saturdays until Christmas. What? It sneaks up my friends. And I am making such an effort to be fully present and far less “busy” over the next 7 weeks. So with that, I am starting my shopping early. I prefer to enjoy the last few days before Christmas sipping hot cocoa and strolling through the beautifully decorated stores just for fun. With shopping all wrapped up.

I will be curating holiday shopping guides that cover as many categories as possible. Today I thought we would kick it off with a light and fun group of gifts. The Wit & Wonder section of Nordstrom has such cute and whimsical choices. They are reminiscent of things we loved when we were younger and most of them maintain a sense of humor which I appreciate. These gifts make for excellent hostess gifts, stocking stuffers or for the hard to buy for friend or family member. You know who I am referring to! So let’s get started.

I love how unique these gifts are. How cute are those ice cream cozies? And I am pretty sure the donut making machine goes to the guy or girl in your life who already has everything. That could spell trouble!

This collection is speaking my language. The star garland is so so cute. I think I may actually order one so I can put it on a wreath or on a small white tree for the holidays. Also a fan of the coaster set as my son says that ALL the time. Those would be a great hostess or stocking gift, too.

Oh, I love the “My Story Isn’t Over Yet.” sign. So good. You know the selfie sticks, while seemingly cliche, are actually really cute hostess gifts. My best friend gave me one when we had a bunch of friends over for my 40th and it was the perfect addition to the night. People crack up using it and it makes for great photos from the night. And apparently those power cubes are all the rage but I am still trying to figure out what it is. If you know, let me know! And have you heard of the book titled Humans of New York? I am so intrigued after seeing the author interviewed. He supposedly just sat down and talked with random people he encountered. He has such a way about him that people completely opened up with fascinating stories of their lives.

Who doesn’t love a great personalized gift. I love the initial ornaments ( these are great to put on a bottle of wine as a hostess gift) and the birthstone art is so creative. Each one is so pretty. I think my kids would go crazy over the 3D coloring book of various cities. Such a unique idea. And if the man in your life enjoys whiskey, the whiskey rock is a pretty cool gift.

Well these take me back. We were recently at my parents and took our old Rubik’s Cube off of the shelf and were showing the children. Brings back so many memories of trying to race my brother and sister with those. The Scrabble Garland set is such a great idea. So you can spell out whatever you want for a party or an event and string it on the garland. Clever!

I hope these spark some fun ideas as you begin to make your lists. Are you in for trying to get your shopping done early along side me? I will be creating a special spot on my sidebar to keep all of the gift guides for easy reference, too.

Have a great day, my friends. Stop in tomorrow for the last One Room Challenge update before the big reveal! Ahhhhh!
