Gifting is by far the trickiest task for me each year, not because I don’t want to spoil my loved ones, but because my brain just sits idle and empty when trying to think of ideas haha. Not to mention it’s ridiculously hard trying to think of things to ask for! Thankfully I worked quickly enough this year to not slack and wait until last minute, so I wanted to share my list with you guys in case you also need some ideas! Here are some items on my list, as well as some items that I may already have/think would be great as gifts.

While it’s nice to have them all on a computer or a phone, I’ve had plenty of photos get lost or go missing throughout the years due to broken files, memory card mishaps, the list goes on. Because of this, I had the idea to create a super cute photo book with Mixbook so that I could have all of my most sacred, special photos in a physical book all together. I thought I actually lost a lot of old photos from when our dog was just a little puppy, so I was so excited to find them to be able to save them in this photo book. The upper left-hand corner shows one of my favorite photos in the world– it was taken when Cookie was just a puppy and she was laying with our old family dog, Ginger.

With all this time I’ve had at home recently, my mind has been WAY more capable of running constantly and finding way too many reasons to be hard on myself. I truly am so hard on myself and it really feels like I can never stop and take a moment to just relax and be proud of where I’m at. As a self-proclaimed workaholic, this has obviously been a driving force behind what I do, and while it helps me get stuff done, it’s gotten to a point where I am less able to enjoy the process of life and actually take a step back to say, “Dang girl! However, it can also tear people down, make people feel less than, and cause people to feel like they aren’t enough compared to someone they follow online.

I’ve found a way more cost-effective system to go about getting just as beautiful art for only a fraction of the cost, and you can tailor each print to fit exactly what you’re looking for. Try starting out with these search terms, each followed by “digital print”: … and stick around to the end of the post because I’ve done the hard work for you and compiled a list of all the best art prints, all for just a few dollars. You’re probably bound to get better results and quality using a store that specializes in printing, so I’d probably go here if you want some hugely massive piece printed out. Make sure to take a look at ALL of these; even if the frame is wrapped around a god-awful, stained, old lady piece of art, you can pop that bad boy out of there and still have the frame to hold your new piece.
