12 Days of Gift Guides: Day 5: Gifts for Her
On the fifth day of Christmas Jenny gave to me, recs for no camel toe undies!
This is the list verified by the ladies of Instagram… the products and gifts that have received the most positive feedback, have sold the most and the ones I add to my own list year after year.
1. Cookie Do Monthly Delivery -Best edible cookie dough I’ve ever eaten! I’ve ordered this, for MYSELF, many times and have eaten this for years. If you have a cookie lover in your life, this is a sweet treat sure to please.
2. Vuori Clothing - Never in the HISTORY of my social media presence has a brand been so recommend to try. Based on the collective recommendation, I tried it and now wear it WEEKLY! They are most known for their famed Performance Joggers and I also love the Energy Tank (nothing hangs out) and the Sunnyside crewneck sweatshirt (its buttery soft and a more elevated sweats look.)
3. Leather Swarovski Crystal leather cuff- I have 6 of these….and the matching stud earrings. Stack the bracelets or wear alone. Handmade by a dear friend of mine with a heart of gold. I get so many compliments on these. Grace also loves them. Use code Jenny20 for 20% off your order.
4. Able Long Merly Jacket - The best denim jacket you will ever own! While they have a standard length, the long Merly covers a bit more yet is very flattering. Seen on some Nashville’s most notable stars, this is a classic piece to add to any wardrobe. Use code JENNYR20 for 20% off your order.
5. Able Leather Olivia Tote - This is my favorite travel bag for my laptop, planner and work materials. You can also use it as a purse. Looove it! The Olivia Tote stores all of your items while also serving as your chic around town piece. This bag comes complete with three large outer pockets and premium details like hidden close magnets and a removable strap. Able also provides job to women in impoverished communities.
6. lululemon workout essentials - These are pieces I wear daily and the pieces that have received the most popular feedback amongst my IG friends. The Unlimit leggings have just a bit of shaping…not nearly as constrictive as the Wunder Unders but a bit more support than the Align. Five out of seven days, I am wearing the Energy Bra. I wear it to run and to as a daily bra. For reference, I’m a 34D and wear a size 6. The Love Tank top is cut an an A-line so it doesn’t grab at your waist, belly or hips!
7. Adidas Ultraboost Sneakers - First introduced to me by my teenage daughter, these are the most comfortable running shoe for exercise or all day wear.
8. Dyson Super Sonic Hair dryer - Splurge on this. There is no substitute and no way to put a value on the time this will save your. This cut my drying time from 35 minutes to 10. Worth every penny!!!
9. Cuisinart Bread Maker - Williams and Sonoma’s best seller, this will have your home smelling like a boutique bakery in no time! Ideal for busy cooks who love homemade bread, this Cuisinart machine offers a host of advanced features in a compact, countertop-friendly design. Choose from a variety of loaf sizes and crust shades. Automatic recipes include gluten-free and artisan breads as well as jams and compotes. Fully automatic bread making, from kneading to rising to baking. Just dump your ingredients and go!
10. Acrylic Makeup Case - I shared the smaller one on the teen guide but this Galmoure Box 7-drawer makeup case sits on my vanity and stores everything from makeup to skincare!
11. Jan Marini Skincare Set - This is the only line I’ve used for the last 20 years. I swear by it. I talk about it all the time on Instagram. The feedback on my IG has been overwhelmingly positive… hands down the best skincare brand I’ve ever used.
12. JIV Athletics Camel Toe Proof underwear - Genius idea. I have these, they work. Practical and funny.
13. Housekeeping Car Detailing Services - You can never go wrong with a deep clean or monthly service! Give your home or car a thorough clean and give yourself a break! Local friends: I have used Kultter Kleaners for my home, and Royal Wash and Detail for my car since we moved to Tennessee.
14. Hanky Panky Underwear - The boy shorts are super comfortable and their thongs have a wider crotch for more comfort. Get the low rise if you’re below smaller, maybe size 4-6 and below, and original rise for size 8 and above. Retro thongs are great who are those who are a little self conscious about a tummy.
15. Menopod Instant Cooling Device (I haven’t tried this device but the idea and name were too good to pass up.)
16 . WINE BATH SOAPS - set of four vegan soaps inspired by your favorite white or red wines
17. Williams Sonoma S’Mores Maker - I shared the kid version of the tech list but this version is the more polished and elevated version that you could use at a shower or dinner party.

A great gift, it allows everyone to enjoy the delicious roasted treat year-round.

This comes in a variety of colors and has many interior pockets. Folds flat to store under a bed and is the perfect carry - on.
20. Barefoot Dreams plush robe - They are on every influencers feed for a reason!
21. White knife gift set - Decor and function all in one! I have these knives in our home and I receive so many compliments on them. White knives look beautiful on counters and serve a purpose.

26. Undressed Tans - Created by a celebrity makeup artist friend, @jessouthern, Undressed Tans is my absolute favorite self tanner. You can get the lotion or the mousse. While other tans give me a reddish or even olive greenish tan, this is the perfect golden brown. I use the medium/dark color with the glove.

Gift the hat with a promise, OR PLAN, to visit Yellowstone in 2021. Look at Under Canvas, a beautiful glamping experience that is highly recommended by several close friends.
35. Rainy Day Preparedness - I picked up an A Loves A tailored, pocketed raincoat in a storm last night and cannot recommend it enough. Under $100 and available in four colors, this is the elevated rain coat. Pair that with short or tall Hunter rain boots and the viral, windproof , inverted, C_shaped handle UMBRELLA…a big hit with moms!
