This is the time of year that we love to share gift lists and I also love seeing what my friends across the internet have procured.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Jessica, Myquillyn, Kelsi, Natalie, Anne, Amanda.

I’ve spent a lot of time on the couch for the past week due to the not-so-lovely-friend-Covid so I took the opportunity to compile a list of my favorite things from 2024.
Included are some long-term favorites, books I’ve enjoyed this year, games, snacks, etc. Hope you enjoy!

Sharpie gel pens - always my favorite until someone else convinces me otherwise.
Laneige lip gloss - I’m addicted.
Hair bonnet - anyone else new to the hair bonnet? Why did it take me so long to realize this is what works to keep my curls lasting longer & keep the frizz away longer?
Mountain Strong apparel from Mast General Store - $10 of every apparel purchase goes to Hurricane Helene relief.
Bombas Vintage Rib Calf Sock - I ordered Men’s medium because I like my calf socks to stay put without being too tight! They are a perfect fit for me!
A menopause fan ;) - this has been a favorite for years and a must-have!
eeBoo puzzles - this one is really fun! p.s. woman owned & mother run!
Cherry Republic cherries + chocolate - trust me, you’ll love them all!
5 Crowns card game - my friend, Karrie, introduced us to this game and it instantly became a family favorite.









Some Call Me Crunchy gift sets - everything in her shop is lovely!
Bookshelf Tees - book tees are the best tees, in my opinion.
Chenille + sherpa blanket - all my kids have one!
Flameless Wax Taper candles - fun all year long.
Juice glasses - the perfect size for a swig of juice plus they’re cute.
Cat socks - speaking of cute…and comfy.
Homesick North Carolina candle - it’s like a pleasant pipe smoking smell.
Leuchtturm1917 Notebook - nothing but grid, please!
Satin lined beanie - again, satin won’t kill your curls.
I’d love to hear your favorites from 2024. Add them in the comments so we can all take a look!
What a great list, Caroline! Those cat socks are the perfect gift for my daughter. Thank you for sharing my list here ❤️
