Gift Guides 2024 – Nesting Place

Are you in need of a gift for someone?

You’re in the right place, I’ll be adding new guides and updating the current guides almost daily!

I went absolutely overboard this year and, for the past week, I’ve been obsessed with creating new gift guides for you.

When I stumbled out of my sticky, iced coffee filled stupor, I realized I now probably need glasses, but more importantly: I CREATED 20 gift guides!!! It only took me about 40-50 hours (according to my apps, this is the lowest week of steps I’ve had in 2024–my phone is ready to call the paramedics).

Plus, I had the most fun!

I’ve shared this deal for five years now and it sells out every year: 7 bottles of wine for $45 shipped! Here’s a post where I write all about how it works, or, if you want to skip that and get right to where you take the quiz to figure out your ideal wines, click here.

I wanted to share a few of my favorite pieces–these are the best things I bought this year that I can wear:

  1. Levis Ribcage Denim: Perfectly loose without feeling sloppy.
  2. Velvet Dress: That dress I wore to Jean Stoffer’s Christmas event, even Jean commented on it! It’s SO comfy and fits great – I’m 5’4” and wear a small.
  3. Sezane Sweaters: I started wearing sweaters more last year. They are more difficult to find second hand, at least where I live. Now, Sezane sweaters are the thing I splurge on more than shoes, coats or jewelry–it’s knits for me. 
  4. Ballet Flats: surprisingly comfy!
  5. ThredUp Gift Card:  I’d guess 30% of my wardrobe is second hand, and 75% of that is from ThredUp.  Here’s a link for 45% off your first order!
  6. New Balance 327s: I’m on my 3rd pair.

Many of these links are affiliate links, thank you for shopping through my site.

Also, I created a quick hosting guide with 3 things I focus on and 3 things I don’t worry about. I’m an introvert who loves to host and finally, in my 15th home, I’m at the point where I’m able to host with a 30 minute notice if needed.

Just yesterday, we hosted a family of six for dinner at the last minute, we texted them about 3 hours before and made it work, nothing was perfect but it was yummy and we had a great time together and I WAS NOT STRESSED.
