5 Holiday Favorites from Findlay Rowe {+ A Giveaway!}

There's always so much to love about the holidays, but one of our favorites that we look forward to each year...

Holidays at Findlay Rowe! 

Long time readers know we go way back with the Findlay Rowe ladies. But newcomers, pay attention! The sister duo behind Findlay Rowe is equal parts entertaining and stylish. From luxury fashion, to crafting the most delicious cocktail, and everything in between - give them a follow on Instagram for some daily happy. 

 Each year we do a little something with them to kick off the holiday season. This year we browsed the boutique and picked out five things that top our lists for gifting this year. With both the Roswell location and the Woodstock location packed to the brim with amazing goodies and festive decor everywhere you turn, it was tough to limit it to just five! 

Here's a look at our favorites, but as always feel free to browse on their website, and stay on the lookout for some amazing sales, giveaways, and deals they have planned over the next few weeks! 

5 FINDLAY ROWE FAVORITES

FAVORITE #1: The Jewelry
Who doesn't love a little shiny bauble as a gift? The host to major brands like Enewton, Kendra Scott, InspireDesigns, Julie Vos, Budha Girl, Ronaldo and more - Findlay Rowe is a one stop shop for jewelry lovers of all ages and styles! 

FAVORITE #2: The Drink-ware
In our opinion a cup is a way of life. This is the year of the straw/handle cup.  But really with all the cute patterns and styles available in stainless steel, every occasion from coffee to cocktails is covered! 

FAVORITE #3: Barefoot Dreams
Dream is the right word for this heavenly fabric. Findlay Rowe has a large stock of Barefoot Dreams, and we want to cuddle in each and every piece. Blankets, baby gifts, and heavenly cardigans - you can't go wrong gifting one of these items this year!

FAVORITE #4: Candles
Nothing says cozy like a candle. Even better? When they smell ahhhh-mazing! Capri Blue, Thymes, and Homesick are just a few that top our must gift list. 

FAVORITE #5: Entertainment Pieces
If there is one thing you know the ladies of Findlay Rowe know how to do, it's host a party. They have sourced some amazing brands to full fill any and every hostess need. There are holiday centric pieces. There are every day pieces. There are girls night out pieces (non-breakable obviously). There even interchangeable options that cover you for any holiday (our favs!). So whether you have a chef, a bourbon drinker, a baker, or a breathing human on your list - there's something for everyone!

Fun 2020 Advent Calendar Options for Kids

 Okay, so we know this post is a little early. We know it isn't even Halloween yet, and it's crazy we're sitting here thinking of Christmas. But... as we were going down a rabbit hole online to avoid the baseball loss that happened last night (we don't want to talk about it), we stumbled upon the fact that our favorite Advent Calendars we get each year were on major sale. 

Needless to say we clicked "add to cart". 

But also saw some other fun options as well. And most on sale! 

We're tempted to change things up this year and get one for each child. Do you do that? Or do you just do one option for all the kids together? 

Here are some of the ones we found...

1: Disney Storybook Collection Advent Calendar - This book themed calendar contains 24 fun stories from the kids favorite Disney and Pixar characters. Each book is individually wrapped and contains a 24 page holiday themed story. 

2: Lego Advent Calendars - This is the calendar our kids have loved the most over the years. Each day they open a mini-figurine or small build to do. We've done the City version over the last few years, but there are also Lego Friends, Harry Potter, and Star Wars holiday themed Lego Advent Calendars as well. It's the perfect countdown for any Lego lovers! 

3: Thomas & Friends Calendar - We remember when our kids were obsessed with trains and Thomas. We would have loved this back then. This fun calendar has 24 mini train figurines, including 6 exclusive holiday themed designs. 

4: Nickelodean Storybook Advent Calendar - Similar to the Disney version, but with the kids favorite Nick shows. Twenty-four individually wrapped books featuring Paw Patrol, Dora, Butter Bean's Cafe and more!  

5: Crayola Christmas Countdown Calendar - If you have a craft loving little one - this is the perfect calendar! Each day opens a new window to a craft, art supply, modeling dough, or coloring page. 

6: Purple Cow Countdown to Christmas with Science - Of all the calendars we thought this was unique and so fun! Each day contains a new science experiment for kids to do. The box contains 24 individual experiments and detailed instructions. Recommended for ages 8+. 

7: Charm Bracelet Advent Calendar - This is a calendar we might actually steal from the kids for ourselves. Comes with a bracelet and each day opens to a new charm for kids to create their own Pandora style holiday themed charm bracelet. This would be a great option for tween/teen girls! 

8: Hot Wheels Advent Calendar - Oh how many Hot Wheels did we own back in the day?! Our boys would have loved this calendar! Contains 24 cars and accessories. We love the holiday themed car-sleigh!

9: Wire Puzzle Advent Calendar - Have older kids? This one is for you! Our older elementary schooler has just gotten into these wire puzzles, and we can't lie - we find them fun/difficult too! With 24 different puzzles (ranged from easy to super tricky) we think this is a calendar the whole family could get into. 

10: Barbie Dreamtopia Calendar - Barbie obsessed little ones will squeal in delight. Contains a Dreamtopia themed Barbie and each day opens to a new accessory or part of an outfit to dress Barbie for the big day.

Cute Gift Card Idea for Teachers

Today and tomorrow are my kids' class holiday parties and then they are out of school for two weeks!!! I'm so excited and can't wait to have them home over Christmas. Since I'm one of the room moms for their classes I'm helping with the teacher gifts from the class.  I know teachers love gift cards so instead of doing one large gift card I decided to put together these little gift card trees.

It's such a cute and easy gift card idea if you have a group going in together for one large gift.

I found the mini trees at Target this year (I got them from Walmart last year) and added a ribbon to the top.  Then I gathered gift cards to all of our teachers' favorite places.  We collected money from parents at the beginning of the year to help with things like class parties and teacher gifts, but you could even ask parents to donate a gift card towards the group gift. 

Some are smaller amounts ($5 to Starbucks or $10 to Chick-fil-a) and some are a larger amounts to their favorite restaurant or store.  I just try to get enough to fill up the tree!  I removed the cards from their packaging, write the value of the card on the back with a Sharpie, and tie them on the trees to be the "ornaments." 

These gift card trees are such an easy thing to put together and fun for the teachers to receive because not only are the getting gift cards to a lot of their favorite places, but they also get to keep the mini tree for their classroom or their home!
