When it rains it pours
Hello loves,
Hope you all had a lovely weekend. We spent the weekend putting up subway tile in the kitchen. Of course by we I mean my hubby and my FIL. They didn’t want any help from me so I was busy cleaning out my closet and the whole house along with yard work.
Oh so tired now and can’t really think straight. It’s been an exhausting weekend. Now I take a look at my calendar and see that I have 7 gifts to buy from now until the end of May!

I’m at a complete lost over what to get anyone. Here’s who I have to shop for:
This week I need to find a fabulous gift for my SIL that is turning 25. (Her birthday is on Wednesday)
On Saturday I have a joint 30th Birthday party. I need one girly gift and one manly gift or a joint gift.
Of course Mother’s day is right around the corner. I need two gifts. One for my mom and one for my MIL. Hmm my birthday actually falls on mother’s day this year…think I can get away with making myself the gift for my mom?
Then Jon’s grandma is turning 86 and the very next day my other SIL turns 21!
I’m already exhausted thinking about all this shopping. So this recessionista needs help. What do I get all these people that is not only a thoughtful gift, but easy on the wallet?

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
ETSY! They always have such unique gifts! I just bought my mom a print/wall hanging for Mother’s Day there! Good luck~
Wow, you do have alot of presents to buy- I’ll start thinking and see if I can come up with anything fun for you
Good luck! I feel ya! In the next couple of weeks, I have my husband’s birthday, friend’s birthday, the birthdays of my friend’s two children, father in law’s birthday, and mother’s day for my mom and MIL. You’re right. When it rains, it pours!
I second ms. less is always more… Etsy is the best.
Hmm, I will be thinking…Etsy is a good idea!
Target usually has some cute stuff. And if anything, you can get the manly gift there- like grilling accessories or something outdoor oriented. For the 21 year old a decent bottle of spumante champagne, in the $15-$20 range is good, with maybe a small, girly gift on the side? Just some thoughts…
I bought my mom a Aquiesse – Luxe Linen candle. It’s wonderful. So great that I bought myself one, too!
I completely understand! I was working on our budget for May and it is crazy the amount of things that we have going on.I’m not sure how much saving we will do. Good luck with the gift search!
I’m giving Hable Construction gardening gloves and matching belts for mother’s day! they are super sweet and can order online. Even the gloves are darling on their own!
Also obsessed with giving June Taylor marmalades and jams right now. xx
