Ruth’s Favorite Things: A Holiday Gift Guide
From fresh baked cookies to fresh pine to family gathering to reconnect over a cup of hot cocoa– Christmas is quite literally my favorite time of year. This year, to help with those last minute gift ideas, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite things!
#1 Mini Projector
This mini-projector is perfect for family movie nights! We use ours all the time…all year long! We have a screen in the barn, and host all of our family movie nights there! This is one of the best investments we’ve made, and a gift the entire family can enjoy together!
#2 Karen Lanza Gold Filled Bracelet
One of my favorite everyday staples! This 14K Gold Filled bracelet has an elastic cord for just a bit of stretch, and the timeless style works for the adults and teenagers alike! It’s casual enough for everyday, and elegant enough for a night out. The 4MM is my favorite…not too chunky and not too delicate.
#3 Classic Trigger Action Travel Mug
We all love travel mugs, but this one I’m obsessed with. Everything about it is right. It fits in a car cupholder, and gets constant use at our early morning sports games and practices. Perfect for hot or cold beverages, and it’s a breeze to clean!
#4 Parajumpers Giulia Sweater
I love a fabulous cream turtleneck sweater. This one is a super soft lambswool blend, and can be dressed up or down.
#5 Isabel Marant Bryce Logo Sneaker
Every closet needs a classic sneaker, and this one is one of my favorites. Borrowed-from-the-boys detailing takes a chic turn on these low-top sneakers… the wingtip-style toe and pinked trim is my favorite. I literally wear these all the time.
#6 Hungry for Home: A Year Together at Hillside Farm
The book that started it all. From our favorite traditions and time-earned wisdom, to family recipes, gardening ideas, and hosting tips, we captured what "home" means to us. It's my hope that you'll feel home at Hillside!
#7 Cabana See-All Bundle
One of my biggest pet peeves when I travel is having to dig around for those small items. This “see-all” bag comes in multiple sizes and colors…and you can personalize it! Crafted in their signature Ecocraft Canvas (a total of 3 recycled water bottles were used to make this bundle) with leather accents. At this point in my life, I can’t travel without this.
#8 Ines Shearling Slippers
An absolute must-have this season. Open in the back for slip on ease, with a 100% shearling insole for comfort.
#9 Fireside Throw
Snuggle up in style this season with the perfect fireside throw– a perfect accent piece for any room. Choose from (3) signature styles: Herringbone (orange/creme/navy), Reversible Swiss Cross (orange/grey), and Plaid (featured– orange/navy/grey/creme). Indoor/Outdoor. Machine washable. Made in the U.S.A. of 100% recycled materials.
#10 Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron Matte Round Dutch Oven
Le Creuset Dutch oven's are a must have in the kitchen. Don't be afraid of the price it will last you a lifetime. A modern take on Le Creuset's classic enameled cast-iron cookware, this round Dutch oven combines the ergonomic and functional advances of the Signature collection with a sophisticated matte finish. The oven's design yields moist, tender results for slow-simmered stews, soups and braises.
#11 Together Notes
This adorable pack of 20 conversation cards for parents and children is the perfect stocking stuffer! Featuring 10 different questions (one card for the parent and one card for the child) and designed to encourage conversation and connection.
#12 Midi Sac Sportif Army Quilted Puffer
I love Crossbody hands-free purses. With exterior pockets, a new versatile material, and a cotton webbing strap, this bag is the ultimate “on the go” accessory. And to top it off, it comes in one of my favorite colors…green.
