The best gifts for her (Part 1)

By zoeloveya - December 17, 2020

December 17th

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. How are you today? We are 8 sleeps away from Christmas so let's get ready for it! As I promised in my previous post, today I'll give you some ideas for presents to offer to the women of your lives! Come on, time is running out, let's not waste it!

Love your pet

Does your lady have a pet that she adores? Does she complains that she misses them when they're away? I have a solution it might help. A cute little necklace with the face and the name of their loved ones, so she can always have it with her!

Written in the stars

It's delicate, it's small, it's shiny and it's personalized. A pendant with her own celestial constellation is such a cute and pretty gift. Its shape is so elegant that it can be worn every day!

''All these are for me?''

As we said in the men's list, a box with many small different gifts it's an amazing idea for someone you love! And again, you can either make it very personal by choosing things you want or you can use the site below which helps you make an amazing Winter Box for your loved ones! Check it out!

As cozy as it can get

1) Okay, this is a MUST have. I can't imagine a woman that wouldn't enjoy this gift. We are talking about this famous blanket which is perfect for her bed or her sofa just in case she needs something soft and warm to be covered with during the cold nights of the winter!

2) Another gift women will love, especially this time of the year, and especially THIS year, is one more thing that will make them feel even cozier while staying at home. What I'm talking about is this pair of warm, soft, and comfortable slippers. Women love them and it's completely understandable. It's like walking on clouds!

Girls love gadgets too

1) And if your girl is a lover of Apple products this would be ideal. An all-in-one charging station for all her portable devices. The design it's so minimal and pretty that it would look perfect even as a decoration piece on her nightstand!

2) And if you want to give life to your photos, anytime, anyplace, technology has the best solution. A portable instant photo printer is such a cute and practical gadget that everyone will love!

Travel the world with me

This is a very smart gift and perfect for those who love to travel. You can mark the places you've visited by scratching the surface on this map. And you can also paste it on a wall or in a frame once you're done with it!

Follow the rainbow

Selfcare, long baths, hydration. Some of the women's favorite habits. Why not give some help with it? This set of bath bombs is THE PERFECT gift. Not only for all the amazing ingredients that they have but for the fact that when you throw them in the water, a real rainbow will magically appear! If your girl loves rainbows she will definitely adore this present!

Light my fire

If your girl is a kitchen-gadget freak she will love this gift. A matchstick holder with a twist. You light your match by running it through the hard surface of the vase. It's so practical and beautiful even to keep it as a decor in your kitchen!

That’s all for now guys! I hope this list will help you find something for your favorite woman!

If you missed my list for the boys’ gifts check it below and I’ll see you very soon!

The best gifts for him (Part 1)

By zoeloveya - December 16, 2020

December 16

Hello everyone! How are you? Hope you're feeling great today! And I just realized we're less than 10 days away from Christmas! Give me a second, I forgot to get my advent's chocolate today. Okay, I'm all set now. Where were we? Oh, right. Christmas is getting closer and closer, are you ready?

Did you get the presents for your loved ones? If not, you still have some time and if you don't know what to get, I made a list for you.

So I think most of us, the women, find it pretty difficult to decide what to get for the men of our lives. Even if we're talking about our fathers, brothers, boyfriends, or just friends. At least, I know I do. And if you find it hard too, let me help you and give you some inspiration!

A safe option would always be some clothing, a scarf, or a wallet. But today I thought about proposing something a little different. So let's begin and if you see something you like click on the photo to buy!

Movie time

If he's a movie lover, you're lucky. There are so many options here to choose from! Let's get a look at some of them.

1. 100 Movies scratch-off poster

What could be a better gift for all these nights that you can not decide what to see? This is a total lifesaver!

2. Portable mini projector

And if you love movies, why not take them with you? A portable projector is perfect if want to watch movies the right way, no matter where you are.

Music

It doesn't really matter if you have the same taste in music as other people do. The main point is that we all love music. So, presents that have to do with it are always a fascinating choice.

1. Headphones

Wireless or not. Small or huge. Moder or classic. The only thing that matters is the taste of their future owner. The choices? Endless. And it's really up to you how much you want to spend. Here I have one of my favorite brands which is quite budget-friendly and with amazing sound. You should totally check them out.

FRESH 'N REBEL

2. Pickup

Again here we have so many to choose from. And personally, I believe that a pickup, it's not just an old-school gadget to listen to music. It can be an amazing decoration piece for your place no matter if you choose a classic or a more minimal/modern one.

Classic Phono

Creativity

Now if you want to something more self-made, I got you. Again here, it depends on how much money you're willing to pay. So let's see.

1. Gift box

I find this a little more personal gift so I suggest you offer it to someone you know well. Choose a beautiful box and add inside whatever your heart desires. Maybe some socks, a CD (if they're still fans of them), a perfume, a nice piece of jewelry. It's up to you. You can even make it funnier and add humorous stuff! Just have fun with it and don't forget to put some love too!

2. Gift box with a twist

Again, choose your pretty box but this time make it like a game. Put presents that have to do with our senses. For example, something to eat like their favorite chocolate, something to smell like a perfume or a candle, or something to touch like a portable board game. Your options are endless!

Something to wear

Okay, this is one of my favorite. If you can afford to give a little extra money one of the best gifts would be a pair of customized sneakers. One of my friends suggested an artist who does AMAZING paintings on your shoes. It might take a little longer for your gift to arrive, but it'll worth the waiting.

Something to use

I need you to trust me on this one. Especially if your dad likes to repair stuff or at least he likes the idea of being organized for any crafting need that may appear, this is a gift he's gonna love! My dad got super excited when he discovered it. I'm talking about this 11-in-1 Credit card tool. Give a man a toy and he'll be happy no matter how old he is!

For the bon viveur

If you are looking for a gift for a man that loves good drinks this is a must-have. It has everything for a man that knows how to enjoy his drink properly. They're gonna love it.

So I guess this is for now. Come back soon for part 2 and if you're looking for something for your girlfriend I got you too. Just stay tuned!

See you soon,

I guess I'm a builder now

By zoeloveya - December 13, 2020

December 13th

Goodmorning everyone! I hope we're all having a wonderful Sunday. The weather here seems pretty nice so we're definitely going for a walk, perhaps grab a coffee too. So how are you going to spend your Sunday?

I have to admit, I did felt a little bad for not writing the last two days. That's because I wanted this year to use this place as a journal. But I was surprisingly busy the last couple of days, so I decided that it would be better to just take it easy than writing something in a rush.

Anyway, I got super excited about what I did the other day, and I wanted to finish it properly so I could show it to you.

But first let's go a week or so, back. While I was at the grocery shop, I ran into something that got me a little excited! It was a gingerbread house-building set! I know it might doesn't sound very exciting to you, but it's something I always wanted to try. And since I've never got my chance, it was about time.

I thought that it might be a little too soon to buy it now. So I decided to wait a few more days, you know until we get a little closer to the holidays. But that thought didn't last long.

A few days later, I went back to the shop. And unfortunately, the gingerbread house was nowhere to be found. I kept making circles with the hope that maybe they relocate it somewhere else inside the store. Still no luck. Devastated as I was (ok, it wasn't so bad, but I got sad, ok?), I took some other things I needed and headed to the cashier.

I'm sure you've seen these movies where the main character is looking for something and suddenly they see it on a top shelf, with all the lights around and these angelic voices singing ''Aaaahhh''. You guessed it. That is exactly how I felt when I saw it in a basket next to the line for the cashiers. Between chocolates and panettones, there was standing my so-much-wanted treasure. I got so excited that I bought two of them. For no particular reason. And then I headed home.

The next day, I got everything ready and sat down to build my gingerbread house. And because I wanted to share my experience with you, here you'll find the video of the making! I really hope you'll like it as I had so much fun making it and the results I could say weren't that bad! So go give it some love and I'll see you very very soon!

Christmas

Dear Santa

By zoeloveya - December 02, 2020

The second day of December

Today is one of those slow days. The weather is pretty cold and the idea of staying in bed sounds marvelous. Surprisingly, I didn't. I woke up pretty early and before anything else, I light up my Christmas tree. (Don't judge, I've been waiting for this for months!) Had my breakfast and made some coffee. I sat in front of my computer and waited. And waited. Writing and deleting lines. Again and again. The one thing I know is that I want to write. But nothing seems to be right. I gave up for a while to clear my head. Thank God, there are dogs for this job.

I snuggled with my baby boy for a while. He is so so cute, especially now with his cute little sweater!

A couple of hours passed by. My little friend and some homemade cheesecake helped a lot. So here we are again. Why does it seem such a big deal? Just write down some thoughts. It's not that hard. HA! I wish.

After a while, I thought about the one thing I used to do with so much excitement this time of the year, but I stopped doing it for a while now. THE LETTER.

This must have been one of my favorite things during Christmas. I've always chosen a nice set of stationery paper and envelopes and wrote down what I wanted my gift to be. And of course, after that, I couldn't wait for it to arrive!

So today, I thought about writing again to our beloved Santa asking for my present.

''Dear Santa,

I know it's been a very long time since the last time I wrote to you. I hope you're doing great!

I have to admit that I've missed so much talking to you. And it's not just about the presents. But for the whole bunch of feelings, I used to have back then. For this year, Santa, I only want something you can't play with or even touch it but you can most definitely feel it. I know it might sound a little cheesy but all of us need it. Santa, please keep people safe and make it possible really soon for them to see and hug their loved ones without any fear or barrier. That's the only thing people need the most right now. Especially those days.

Thank you in advance, Zoe.''

Yeah, I really wish it was that easy. But as a believer, most of all, I hope that my wish will be true very very soon. Stay strong people, stay positive, and give your love in every possible way. We need it more than any other time.

See you soon,
