A Day In Her Life Guest Gift Guide

Gifts from A Day In Her Life Guests!

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving in whatever shape your day took. Now onto the holidays.

Below is a gift guide specifically with items from past guests! Every year, this is my favorite Gift Guide to update. It’s so fun for me to see all of the products, books, and businesses our guests create and manage.

Thankful for you! For supporting A Day In Her Life and for supporting our guests!

For someone who needs more time -

• Duckbill - Episode 88 with Meghan Joyce - Give the gift of extra time to someone in your life! I love Duckbill - it’s an incredible AI accelerated personal assistant.

• Faye - Episode 100 with Emily King - I was gifted a Faye Advisor, Stephanie, for two months, and she helped me with two incredibly valuable tasks that would not have happened without her. She was a huge help in scheduling my son’s birthday party and saved the day with Bag 8. Use code ADAY50

For someone on your list with kids -

• Deebo - Episode 104 with Minni Marwaha - I’ve raved about my Deebo before, but this is such a great item to have on hand with young kids. I love being able to check my kids ears before going to the doctor. It’s another tool to have in my parenting arsenal. Use code DAY15 for 15% off

• Motette - Episode 109 with Samantha Gold - Samantha’s beautiful pajama brand, Motette, has adorable patterns for both mom and baby! These would be a fun gift for your sister and niece or something similar.

• Larken - Episode 94 with Katie Blouin - These bras were a lifesaver when I was postpartum. The soft material and X structure for pumping was huge for me, when I was constantly pumping. If you’ve got a friend who’s expecting or a new mom, this would be a great gift. Their Tanks are also incredibly comfortable

• 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.

• Evrloop - Episode 120 with Marlo Giudice - High quality baby goods, that help reduce waste, Evrloop has an incredible mission, and would make a great gift for a mom to be on your list.

• Bea Colette - Episode 50 with Meghan - Meghan has curated some of the incredibly gorgeous European children’s clothing in one place so we don’t have to go searching all over! If you’re looking for Christmas outfits for your kids, she has some great 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.

• 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.

For Bookish friends

• Lovestruck Books - Episode 108 with Rachel Kanter - If you’re local (or not) Lovestruck is one of the most perfect Romance Bookstores I’ve ever been too. It’s absolutely flawless and would be an incredible gift for a bookish friend in the Boston area.

• Pepper Books - I am biased, but a Pepper Books box would be a great gift for any reader in your life or someone looking to get back into reading. You know that friend that says “I wish I read more…” well here you go. A book box of Romances they won’t be able to put down. Use code SPICY20 for 20% off your order.

For your MIL

• A Domani Pajamas - Episode 115 Katya Eckert - If you’re looking for something for your mother in law, or someone who just had a baby, these would be a great option. Cooling pajamas to support you through night sweats and help you sleep better, these would give you major daughter in law points.

• 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!

• 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.

For someone who needs some pampering (yourself included)

• Ursa Major - Episode 132 with Emily Doyle (this week) - I’ve been a huge fan of Ursa Major since the days of Follain in the South End, and it was such a treat to talk with Emily about how she and her partner started the brand. They recently gifted me some of their products, and their dry oil is a new fast favorite. It goes on so hydrating but doesn’t leave you feeling tacky and oily. Use code DayInHerLife15 for 15% off - but their Black Friday sale is going on now for 20% off.

• 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!

• 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 - I have a shirt and can confirm the fabric is out of this world.

• Berkshire Press Thank You Notes - Episode 26 with Monica - For the friend who always sends notes, these gorgeous Thank You Cards are so cute!

• 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!

• Walter and the Worry Test - Episode 61 with Alison - A great book to talk with your kids about anxiety in an approachable way!

• Step by Step - Episode 22 with Kat - Kat is a clinical psychologist and wrote this book to help kids cope with anxiety by taking small steps to achieve a scary goal. My kids love this book.

• Pillowpuffs - Episode 16 with Julia - I love Julia’s Art, and her picture book is available for pre-order. It looks beautiful and I’ve preordered for my kiddos!

Cookbooks

• What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking - Episode 18 with Caro - I’ve given this to my mom and sister, it’s such a great cookbook! I love the Peanutty Pork and Brussels, the Beef and Sweet Potato Flautas, and the Sheet Pan Fajitas as a great starting point.
