Every December, I’m reminded how easy it is to get swept up in the buying, the rushing, the “more, more, more” of the holidays.

So this year, instead of rounding up a gift guide full of links and products, I wanted to share something better:

A Holiday Bucket List filled with the things that actually make the season feel meaningful. ❤️

The holidays tend to sneak up on us every year, and our kitchens usually take the hit first. Between baking, hosting, and feeding everyone 47 times a day, it doesn’t take long for things to feel chaotic.

However, a few intentional tweaks now can make the busiest season of the year feel calm, organized, and (dare I say it) even enjoyable!

So before the gatherings begin, let’s get your kitchen and pantry working for you!

I'm a big believer in intentional holiday shopping—experiences over things, always! But sometimes, there’s something special about pairing an experience gift with a tangible item—something that can be unwrapped and enjoyed in the moment, yet still spark lasting memories later on. So, I present to you our 2024 Holiday Gift Guide, a labor of love that carefully balances thoughtful giving with the desire to avoid clutter, all while emphasizing the value of experiences.

No matter when you start decorating, one thing is certain: the holidays are a whirlwind of activity! The last thing we need is for our decor to add to the chaos. So I want to help you approach holiday decorating with simplicity and intention. Whether you’re decluttering, minimizing your decorations, adding practical storage solutions, or even hiring some help to lighten your load—I’m confident you’ll find a helpful tip or two that will make this season a little less overwhelming.

Let’s kick the season off by making room for what truly matters so we can savor every moment of this magical season!
