JESS’S 2023 GIFT GUIDE 1

1. VANS CHECKER SLIP-ON SNEAKERS — I can't imagine life without these shoes.  They are a staple.  They are classic.  They are icons.  I'll never not have a fresh pair or two to pop on for everyday wear.

2. CARAWAY NONSTICK CERAMIC COOKWARE SET — I know these are a little on the pricey side but, that's just kind of the way it is with quality cookware these days!  It's a fair trade off for something you use everyday if you ask me! And these are the perfect joint gifts if you're looking to buy for a couple!

3. VINTAGE PUZZLE — There are a few variations of these that have been on my wishlist for a while now.  Every once in a while I enjoy splaying out on the dining room table and working on a good puzzle or two and this brand has THE CUTEST selections I've seen.  Mostly all vintage inspired which I absolutely love.  There is no wrong pick from all their options!

4. YSL BLACK OPIUM EU DE PARFUM — This perfume is the right balance of delicate and spicy.  Especially for anyone that doesn't love perfume or heavy scents.  I have a super sensitive nose and I've never been anything but delighted everytime I wear it!

5. SPANX AIRESSENTIALS WIDE LEG PANTS — Ok, I know these are pricey but, I got these around this time last year and you guys, I will NEVER stop singing their praises.  The perfect fit,  the perfect length, the most comfortable, high quality and still look brand new despite constant wear and numerous tumbles in the dryer!  Totally worth it and that's coming from me, the literal definition of a bargain shopper! Oh and you can use code ASHLEYDXSPANX for a discount on full-price items!

JESS’S 2023 GIFT GUIDE 2

1. NESPRESSO VERTUO PLUS — I call this the "Blame Wes Dorough" wishlist item.  Last year for white elephant in our family Wes D boxed up his old Nespresso and I ended up with it and now I'm 1 step away from creating an ASMR account of me just making coffee drinks with all the syrups I've purchased and recipes I've concocted.  An upgrade is necessary and since I'm not willing to go all the way with the $400+ one, I'll be asking for this guy right here and it will be exactly what I need!  

2. MEGABABE LAVENDER MINT TOE DEO SPRAY — The thigh rescue and Body Dust Powder are common staples in my daily stash and Christmas is a perfect time for a restock since they are the perfect stocking stuffers!  (The toe spray is something new I'm into trying (please see note below about socks as to why...)

3. AMAZON MESH SOCKS — I have a major hate relationship with socks but, during the cold months I have to concede and wear them because barefeet in boots DO NOT mix...These are super fun and cute and I'm definitely intrigued by the material.  I have high hopes that they won't feel too heavy on my feet!

4. LEGO WILDFLOWER BOUQUET — My son bought me this for Mother's Day this past year and we had SO MUCH fun putting it together.  It was a super fun activity for us to do as a team and now they sit on my desk in my office and make me happy all day every day!  A year round dose of cute and happy! 

5. BISSEL STEAMSHOT — This little guy is not only affordable but, it's also AMAZING!  It steams those little nooks and hard to reach pockets in the kitchen and bathroom specifically.  I was so excited when I tried this little guy the first time.  I legit get excited when I get to use it now which just makes cleaning feel less of a chore!
