Holiday Gift Guide by Sarah Halstead

Filed Under: Giveaways

I have a treat for you all! I am sharing a holiday gift guide for the whole family. Plus a chance to win some of the items! holiday gift guide

gifts for photographers

A membership to Clickin Moms is an awesome gift. I love getting on there and asking questions. This is invaluable.

Koolertron Black Canvas Shoulder Camera Bag is awesome and reasonably priced. There are so many pockets and compartments. There is a place for everything to be well organized. I love how the inside compartments separate the camera from the extra lens and that they are removable. The long cross body strap was very comfortable to wear. There is also an compartment in the back for a small laptop or an iPad. The only thing I did not like about this bag is it seemed very heavy to carry fully loaded. The winner will receive a black canvas shoulder bag from Koolertron.

gifts for kids

Zoey’s Attic has an amazing selection of Christmas items this year. I think this pregnancy announcement for Grandma gift is so great. What an awesome way to announce the news!

holiday gift guide

These headbands from AbbiBug Designs are so precious and well made. The glitter on the headbands is an extra and I love that it doesn’t shed off like normal glitter. I don’t have any girls myself, but I have been using them for my photography business. Everyone that sees the headbands really love them. The winner will receive a red bloom on white elastic glitter band like the picture on the left from AddiBug Designs.

Holiday Gift Guide

I love the everything KungFoo Kids offer. Everything is so unique and her fabric choices are amazing. I love the crayon roll up I got for Dustyn in the wood fabric. It is very well made and even came with crayons in it. I am sure we will use this a lot with Dustyn while eating out or on our trip to Florida coming up in January. The winner will receive a crayon roll just like the one I shown above from KungFoo Kids.

gifts for moms

The Boba Carrier is awesome for any mom with young children. I absolutely loved carrying Carsyn in the carrier when he was young and I had to chase around Dustyn.

holiday gift guide

Lilla Rose has a ton of things to offer, but my favorite is the flexi clip. They come in a ton of different styles, and colors. The flexi clip is a great little addition to spruce up your hair when you want to wear it up. There are several different ways to wear this. I had to work with it a little with my hair because I have pretty thin hair. It was slipping a little but I realized I just needed to add more hair into the clip. They have some videos to help with selecting the correct size and how to wear it. The winner will receive an item from Lilla Rose up to $16.

gifts for friends

Amy Cornwell has some amazing jewelry items. Along with an adorable Chrismas collection of ornaments. I have a few of her pieces and I love them!

I have heard some amazing things about Merci Chocolates, and I am so excited to try them out. I think this would make a perfect gift to give to a friend. The winner will receive a box of chocolates, two coffee mugs, and roasted coffee from Merci.

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
