Something soft that's not a puppy
Look snow further than these soft and fuzzy gifts that don't need potty training.
Something girly
Is she a girly girl? These lip masks and makeup removers both work like magic (Seriously. This is some real abracadabra voodoo shit.) And these beaded bracelets from one of my favorite Etsy sellers are a fun way to give a personalized gift; they come already gift-packaged!
something funny
Going for something a little more PG-13? I rounded up some ideas to give her a little laugh, which we all need in 2020.
Something for the Schitt's Creek Lover
She's a Schitt's Creek fan? OMG, I love that journey for her.

That's right. Dresses. A lot of you associate dresses with getting dressed up and are like "but Anna, I don't wannnna." Commence foot stomping. But here's the secret. Dresses are just socially acceptable nightgowns. Dresses are the one-and-done outfit you need if you're trying to get ready in between juggling the oven timer and refilling Nana's glass. Um, is anyone keeping track of how many glasses Nana drank? Dresses are easy to move around in and keep you cool while you're cooking. And most importantly, dresses allow you to eat your entire weight in stuffing. Obviously you'll want to skip the bodycon dresses and instead reach for a babydoll dress or loose, flowy style. Then you can eat and drink all you want without needing to unbutton your pants in front of creepy Uncle Gary.
I've rounded up some of my favorites right here. Order one or two, check that off your growing to-do list, and get focused on that menu since we know that's what counts the most.
Obviously I want to know who supported me in this political movement so If you wear one of these dresses on Thanksgiving, please post a photo to Instagram and tag me!
So you booked your family photo shoot and need to decide what to wear? No need to run out and buy new outfits. I've got you covered with these four foolproof steps to style your family's outfits straight from your closets.
2. Pull outfits
Next, go closet to closet collecting potential outfits for each family member to wear. Each piece you pull should work with your color scheme. Select a couple of outfits for each person in the photo shoot, focusing on coordinating, not matching, everyone's outfits. Honestly, the hardest part here is not getting caught up cleaning your child's closet. (Seriously, what is that smell though?)
3. Balance the overall look
Lay out one outfit per person on a neutral surface like a comforter or rug. I like to lay my outfits down like people are wearing them, estimating the height differences of the family members. Your goal here is to balance the overall look as you narrow down your picks to one outfit per person. I usually recommend no more than two total patterns as they can make group photos look too busy. Get buy-in from your family at this stage to make sure everyone feels confident wearing what you chose. This is important for everyone to feel like their best selves in the photos.
4. Add accessories
Lastly, select jewelry and accessories that work with the final outfits. I always suggest taking along some extra pieces that can be tied into the photo shoot. A hat changes up a look quickly and makes a fun prop. A scarf can capture movement well in photos and is a quick way to add color, texture, or pattern. Layers are another simple way to change up a look and be prepared for weather fluctuations.
