baby shower gift ideas when you know nothing about kids! #babygifts #giftguide #giftideas #babyshower

Ever notice how I never post about babies and kids here on the blog? That’s cuz I know nothing about them! I’m an only child and my friends are just now starting to have kids, so it feels a bit like I’ve been removed from thats world. But now my best friend is pregnant (with twins, nonetheless) and I’m about to attend my first baby shower next month…. and I had no idea what to give. Yes, there are always gift registries which are supremely helpful, but I like to go rogue and get really cute stuff that no one thinks of.

In the interest of helping out any slackers out there like me, here’s my quick, down and dirty last-minute holiday shopping guide for Amazon that will definitely make it look like you put tons of thought into your list.

perfect presents for small spaces, tiny houses, or people who are obsessed with organization! #giftguide #smallspaces #tinyhouse

So here’s the thing about this gift guide: it’s not the most glamorous. Instead these presents for small spaces provide much needed storage and organization into a tiny home. My theory is that instead of giving a gift that adds to the clutter of a small home, why not give something that is actually functional? With that in mind (and my own tiny bungalow), here are some perfect presents for small spaces:
