Dudley Stephens Fleece - Episode 80 with Lauren - these are the best fleeces. They are so chic, and most importantly warm! They have so any great styles and I have the Park Slope (Hip Length), Greenpoint (Mid Length), and Cobble Hill (Tunic Length) and probably wear the Greenpoint or Park Slope the most. These would make a great gift for a Sister In Law or Mother In Law!
Anything from Sorette - Episode 69 with Lanning - Sorette is my new go-to spot for skincare products that I can be confident are safer for my body. They have a mini-discovery kit that would be a great gift for a friend who’s pregnant and interested in switching products. I am obsessed with this cleanser and turned my mom onto it as well.
Hat Attack Cashmere Beanie - Episode 56 with Cooper - Hat Attack has long been one of my go-tos for hats, specifically summer ones, but they also have great winter hats like this Cashmere Beanie I’ve been seeing Cooper wear on Instagram! I also love this traveler bag! If you’re planning a Spring Break trip, this could be a great option to keep your hat safe during travel.

Jewels (because duh) - Episode 49 with Lauren - Lauren makes incredible custom jewelry and if you’ve got you’re eye on something or an idea for something special, I know she’ll be able to hook you up! Her Sleeping Beauty Turquoise stuff is incredible, and I have been wearing the huggies I have non stop.
Bare Hands - Episode 42 with Suzanne Shade - For the friend who loves a manicure but hates chemicals, Bare Hands is a chemical free manicure kit! The story behind this is such a fun episode!
Tubby Todd - Episode 38 with Andrea - We love the Tubby Todd products and this set would make a great gift for a friend who just had a baby.
Bib from Little Cocoa Bean Co. - Episode 33 with Tracy - We love a gift that gives back. If you have a new baby in your life, or a baby that’s just starting to eat, these are our favorite type of bib, and the fact that they give back, A MUST.
Eleanor Leftwich Collection - Episode 32 with Eleanor - For your most stylish friend, Eleanor’s sweaters and dresses are to die for. I have my eye on the Boyfriend Turtleneck and the Cashmere Crew. I really want one of the Eleanor Dresses.

If you’ve got a friend who loves The Great British Baking Show, there’s an ornament for you. If you’ve got a friend who loves a cheeseboard, there’s an ornament for you. Such adorable options!
Buggy Bags - Episode 12 with Meg and Erin - These bags are such a great item to have in your parent arsenal! Whipping out one of these whenever we need a few minutes at dinner always makes me feel like a pro. These would be a great stocking stuffer or gift for a friend’s kids.
The Stitch Needlepoint Club Pouch - Episode 8 with Claire - For your friend who loves to stitch, these adorable pouches and bags would be a great gift!
