Hi Mama,

I think we can all agree that finding and giving gifts for the holidays is no easy feat, especially when you’re busy (*all moms, everywhere raise your hand*). This year, I put together a list of a few things I have my eye on (hint, hint!) and items I’m planning to get my husband, Jared (aka: the hipster papa), our kids and our neighbors + teachers! And if you’re reading this blog a few days before Christmas (I’m raising my hand right now with you, for real) I gave you a few last-minute gift ideas, too!

Xx, Elle

• Plain Jane x Solly Baby Mama pajamas 
• A night at a hotel (Last year I asked for a night away by myself for Christmas every year, which might sound funny but with four kids and a business, time to myself is in short supply. So Jared used our credit card points for a hotel in town an hour away. I used it a few months later but just knowing I could redeem it at any time felt like such a luxury. I got room service, read, watched Netflix and just vegged out for 24 hours. It was so restorative and will now be at the top of my list forever more.)
