What to Buy?

EEK!!  Can you BELIEVE that?

The time between Halloween and Christmas seems to fly by.  #timeflieswhenyourehavingfun

With that said, I do my best shopping RIGHT now!  ha!  I like to have as much done as I possibly can before Thanksgiving so I can sit back and enjoy the entire Christmas season.

Let’s get our SHOP ON!  I always get my best recommendations from girlfriends.  Don’t you?  You’re hanging out with a friend and they share a new recipe, movie you should watch, or a new book you just have to read.  My girlfriends give me the best recommendations on pretty much everything.  I love hearing what they’re getting their kiddos, spouses, moms, etc. for Christmas.  Usually I can get a gift idea or two out of their lists as well.  I thought it’d be fun for me to share some things the Slaughter family is asking for, hoping for, or already have and love.  Maybe it’ll give you an idea or two for someone on your list this season.  ðŸ™‚

For the boys..
Animal Planet Tiger Set-Both of my boys love these Animal Planet sets.  They will play and play with them.  If you have an animal lover at your house, then I highly recommend a set or two.

Football-I don’t know about your house, but my kiddos are constantly losing footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, etc.  Nixon would be stoked about a new football.

Lion Guard-Bowen is a big fan of the new show, Lion Guard, on the Disney channel.  He’s been telling us he’d like this for his birthday for months.  Ebby Lee whispered to me one day that she thought they’d all actually play with it if we got it for him.  ha! 

Under Armour Underwear-You better believe I’m a mom who puts things they really need inside their stockings.  ðŸ™‚  I splurged on this underwear for Nixon’s birthday and he loves them!  ha!  I’ve already ordered a few more pairs for his stocking.  It might be the first time ever one of my kiddos is stoked about new underwear!

Indoor Basketball-I ordered this for Nixon.  I think our entire family of five will have lots of competitions with this one.


For the girls…

Sketch It Nail Pens-Ebby Lee is loving all crafts and anything girly.  These nail pens totally fit the bill.


American Girl Ice Cream Cart-She hasn’t fully decided on one piece so I’m including one of the contenders.  Ebby Lee wants approximately eighty-five things in the American Girl catalog.  She’s working on narrowing it down.   

Fringe Cross Body-Ebby Lee is gonna flip over this purse on Christmas morning.

Bath Robe-Ebby Lee has this robe.  It’s crazy comfy, super warm, and perfect for cold winter mornings.

FurReal Friends-The toy commercials are working!  Way to go, marketing departments!  Ebby Lee has seen the commercial for these FurReal Friends one too many times.  ðŸ™‚




For the moms…

Ugg Slippers-If you guys follow Shay and Sheaffer, then you’ve been reading how bossy they can be about these slippers.  Right?  I’m giving them a try and asking for a pair for Christmas.


Mophie IPhone Charger-My phone only stays charged for a quarter of the day before I need to plug it in for a while.  I’ve already mentioned to Tab that I need this charger or a new phone!


Puffer Coat-I bought this before our New York trip and am so glad I did.  The perfect fitting puffer!


Faux Fur Vest-I have a fur vest very similar to this that I layer up all winter long.  Dress it up or down and it looks great!


Faux Fur Blanket-I’ve had my eye on these blankets.  I think it’d be the perfect thing to throw on the end of our bed during the winter months.




For the dads…

Under Armour Vest-I had to TALK Tab into buying this vest last year and then it was the one article of clothing he grabbed every time.  


Michael Kors Watch-Tab has a sporty watch, but he needs a dressy to watch to wear daily to work.


Yeti-Tab is constantly losing his travel coffee cups.  It’s time Santa surprises him with a Yeti in his stocking.  ðŸ˜‰


Bose Bluetooth Speaker-We use this speaker all summer long in the backyard.


Ugg Slippers-If the women’s version is as good as I’ve heard, the men’s version must be great as well.



What about you?  What’s on your Christmas list?  Do you have any great recommendations you’d love to share with your girlfriends?  We’d LOVE to hear!  XOXO
