Even better, you can set your smart plugs on a schedule so your Christmas lights automatically turn on and off at certain times every day! No crawling behind the tree, reaching around presents, or trying to find that one impossible-to-reach plug. 😂🎄

Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets insta Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets instant sensory overload from the sound of metal scraping against metal?! 😩💀

Because WHY would you serve me a salad in a METAL bowl with a METAL fork?! 😭🤣 The sound alone is enough to send me into a full-blown sensory nightmare!

I’m not officially diagnosed with ADHD or autism (AuDHD), but I’ve been noticing more and more sensory sensitivities and little quirks about myself lately that have me seriously wondering. 🤪

The sound of a metal fork scraping against a dinner plate is already bad enough… but a metal fork scraping against a METAL BOWL?! Absolutely NOT. Straight to jail. 🚩🤣

I swear I can feel that sound in my entire body. 😵‍💫

So now I need to know… is this a neurodivergent sensory sensitivity thing, or does everyone hate this sound as much as I do?! PLEASE tell me I’m not alone! 😂👇

Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when it comes to dessert, I do NOT play around! 😂 

Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! 🙌🏻

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasn’t been fluffed yet! 😍 Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. 🤣 Especially when you’re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! 🙃

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! 🎄

So tell me, are you team fluff every single branch or team throw some ornaments on and call it a day?! 🤣👇🏻

POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrat POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrated… but you absolutely HATE drinking water. 🤣💦

Anyone else living with POTS, inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), or another chronic illness know the struggle?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! I’m terrible at drinking plain water. 😅

And don’t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. I’m just not a fan! 🙃

That’s why I’ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! 💧 Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. 🤣🥤

Because who says you can’t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! 😉

And if you’re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! 🤪 Welcome to life with chronic illness!

But in the meantime, I’m all about finding little chronic illness hacks that make everyday life a bit easier! ❤️

💬 COMMENT “SHOP” below and I’ll send you the link to try these electrolyte drops for yourself!

And tell me… are you a water lover or a fellow water hater like me?! 😂

Top Ten Gift Ideas From My Favorite Small Shops on Instagram

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Being an Instagram influencer, I am able to have the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with so many amazing small shops. So I wanted to share my top gift ideas from my favorite small shops.

I have loved being able to share their products and I have gathered a list together here for my top ten gift ideas from my favorite shops for you guys to enjoy!

So if you’re still on the hunt for a perfect Christmas gift idea, then this blog post is definitely for you! And be sure to read through them because I may just have some coupon codes for y’all to use as well!

1. Ebenezer Market

Christmas Entryway Nook
Look at that cute truck! Click here to order you one as well.
Ebenezer Market Farmhouse Signs
Love all of Ebenezer Market’s signs! Click here to order this one.

I love handmade signs. There is just something to buying from a small shop that you just can’t get from a big box store. Homemade signs are just some of the perfect gift ideas to me.

Most of their signs are so unique and made with such amazing quality, that you are just not getting that experience when you buy from a chain.

That’s why I definitely recommend you guys check out one of my favorite sign makers, Ebenezer Market. They make so many amazing signs and I currently have three from them and I plan on getting more! I am just so impressed with the quality and they have so many cute ones to choose from.

And if you use “Charity10” you can get 10% off your order! So go check them out and order some Christmas presents or gifts for yourself!

2. Mad Dash Mixes

Mad Dash Mixes Cranberry Pasta Salad
I absolutely love these mixes and they are perfect for a quick and delicious dinner! Click here to order this amazing cranberry pasta salad!
Mad Dash Mixes Cranberry Pasta Salad
These would make perfect gifts for those who love to cook or don’t! Either way, it gives you a nice break from cooking because it’s literally so easy to make!

Y’all have heard me talk about Mad Dash Mixes time and time again, but I can’t help it! I am obsessed. If you follow me on Instagram, then I’m sure you’ve seen my stories on them and just how easy they are to prepare.

I love using them for dinner on a busy weeknight. They are delicious and only require a handful of ingredients to make a yummy meal.

I am giving some away as Christmas presents this year and you should too! It’s the perfect gift idea! Also, be sure to use “Charity10” for 10% off with them as well! If you want to read more about them, see my other blog posts: Cranberry Pasta Salad and Creamy Tomato Basil Soup for more info about these amazing mixes!

3. Modern Forestry Candles

Cozy Farmhouse Christmas Bed
Not only are these candles beautiful, but they smell so amazing too!
Modern Forestry Candles
I love to style them in all of my vignettes!

I love my Modern Forestry candles. They burn so well and have a long lasting burn life. I also love the fact that they are 100% soy and hand poured so I know I am not releasing a bunch of chemicals into the air every time I light them.

Because let’s be honest, if I am at home, I have candles burning in every room! I just love how cozy they look when burning and I am obsessed with having a great smelling house!

They come in many different scents, but my favorite one is Coffeehouse. It makes your whole house smell just like a cafe!

And if you’re interested in learning more about Modern Forestry, click here to see my last blog post. I always think that giving a loved one a candle is a great gift idea as well.

4. Teami Tea Blends

Teami Tea Blends
I love to make a chai tea latte with their tea.
Teami Chai Tea
I also love to add in a bit of honey to sweeten it up too!

I love Teami’s tea blends. If you read my blog post about them from awhile ago (click here if you haven’t seen it) then you know I wasn’t really a tea fan until I tried their chai tea blend, and now I am hooked!

They have so many different ones to choose from, so if you have a tea lover in your life, then this would be a perfect gift for them! You can also use MACEDONIA15 for 15% off your order!

5. Mapiful

Mapiful Gift Idea
So special and beautiful!

I have worked with Mapiful twice now and each time I am blown away by the final product. If you haven’t heard of them before, you definitely need to go check them out!

They create custom maps for a special time/place/event in your life and there are many different styles to choose from. The first one I did was a map of where we built our home.

Then, I did a star map of our wedding day and it shows just how the stars were aligned on that particular day (you can see it pictured above). How cool is that?!

This would make such a special and meaningful gift for a loved one in your life! It would definitely be something they would treasure forever!

6. Coppercure Mugs

Coppercure Copper Mugs Gift Idea
Not only are these mugs beautiful, but they work so well too! They keep your drinks nice and cold and the quality to them is very well made!

You’ve heard me talk about these mugs in my last post about corner hutch. I am definitely in love with them and that’s why I think they would make an amazing gift for someone!

It also already comes in a perfect little box that includes all four mugs, coasters, and straws so all you would need to do is wrap it and you have a complete gift set of unbelievably beautiful copper mugs!

7. Coconut Cloud Hot Cocoa

Coconut Cloud Hot Cocoa
They come in cute individual packets like this, or in a big family sized packet too.
Rae Dunn Cocoa Mug
I always love a cup of warm cocoa on a cold evening!

If you’re shopping for someone who is on a stricter diet, then this Coconut Cloud hot cocoa would be perfect for them! It’s vegan and completely dairy, soy, and gluten free!

They also have a lot of other products to choose from as well such as latte mixes and coffee creamers. This would make a perfect gift with a cute coffee mug!

8. Rodworks Unique Home Decor

Christmas Open Shelves
I love adding seasonal touches to my open shelves and these bottle brush trees were the perfect touch!

I love those cute little bottlebrush trees up there on my shelf from Rodworks! They have some amazing farmhouse decor pieces and not just Christmas decor!

If you haven’t shopped with them before, you should go check out their website. They have so many great pieces to choose from and you can even shop for a particular room when you are browsing through which is really cool.

They also have a great list of inexpensive gift ideas too so if you know someone who loves farmhouse style decor, this would definitely be a good place to shop for them! And, you can use the code “christmas15” for 15% off of ANYTHING, not just Christmas!

9. Honey Brook Shop

Rae Dunn Gobble Coffee Mug
This faux whip looks yummy enough to eat!

Another favorite small shop of mine is Real Honey Brook. She makes the cutest little decor items that are perfect for displaying with your Rae Dunn or on tiered trays.

She made that beautiful faux whip on my mug above and the cute little candy canes in the photo below as well. She hand makes a lot of her items and has restocks often in her shop.

If you know someone who loves to decorate tiered trays and has a love for farmhouse decor too, then go check out her shop and order them some cute pieces for a great gift!

10. Hidden Valley Farmhouse

Peppermint Cookies
Check out that adorable candy cane garland! Click here to order you one as well.

I have worked with Hidden Valley Farmhouse a lot this year and I love her cute felt garlands. I have four and I love displaying each one for different seasons. She has so many cute seasonal garlands and neutral garlands too.

They would make a perfect gift for someone who loves to use garlands in their displays and decor. You can use them on tiered trays, ladders, mantels, basically the list could go on and on because the possibilities are endless!

Top Ten Gift Ideas From My Favorite Shops on Instagram
Pin for later!

I hope some of these ideas have inspired you and gets you closer along to being finished with all of your Christmas shopping! I just love to support these amazing shops and I try to shop small as much as I can.

I think when you do, the gifts are so unique and you know that not everyone has it in their home too which makes it more special. Have fun shopping my friends and good luck with finishing everything up!

I would say I am about 75% done. Still have a few more gifts to go so I am trying to get my butt in gear and get it finished.

Stay tuned this week and I will have another blog post up for you on how I wrapped all my presents this year!

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

🎄 PSA: Don’t skip this step when putting up your C 🎄 PSA: Don’t skip this step when putting up your Christmas tree! 👀

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! 🙌🏻

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasn’t been fluffed yet! 😍 Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. 🤣 Especially when you’re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! 🙃

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! 🎄

So tell me, are you team fluff every single branch or team throw some ornaments on and call it a day?! 🤣👇🏻

📌 Save this Christmas tree decorating tip for when you start putting up your holiday decor!

POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrat POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrated… but you absolutely HATE drinking water. 🤣💦

Anyone else living with POTS, inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), or another chronic illness know the struggle?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! I’m terrible at drinking plain water. 😅

And don’t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. I’m just not a fan! 🙃

That’s why I’ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! 💧 Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. 🤣🥤

Because who says you can’t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! 😉

And if you’re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! 🤪 Welcome to life with chronic illness!

But in the meantime, I’m all about finding little chronic illness hacks that make everyday life a bit easier! ❤️

💬 COMMENT “SHOP” below and I’ll send you the link to try these electrolyte drops for yourself!

And tell me… are you a water lover or a fellow water hater like me?! 😂
