#DoTheDaniel’s Holiday Gift Guide | Amanda

It’s officially December and the countdown is on to find the best gifts out there for you and your loved ones. For some of us, finding the perfect gift is easier said than done, so we usually find ourselves in a mad rush to find the best presents that we can find. My friend did this the other year, and it wasn’t until she decided to personalize a gift did she actually get somewhere. Designed Pillows with photo customization has become popular in the last few years, and can even double up as a holiday and housewarming gift if the recipient has just moved into a new house. Even better, right? There are so many things you can personalise too, anything you can think of I reckon could be a personalised gift. You can design your own photo keyring, canvas, clothes, this list goes on, and they are available all over the world. They can be for any age as well, for instance, what do you get for a teen? They are at such a difficult age to buy for. What do they like to do, other than play games and listen to music, right? Well why not a custom airpods case? Something they can utilise and won’t gather dust in their rooms. Having said that this really could just be for anyone with an phone! As you can see, there really is a custom gift for everyone out there if you look, it’s such a good route to go down at any time of the year. If you’re still not convinced, then don’t fret, that’s why you have come to this page! So, how do we find the best gifts on the market? Luckily, the #DoTheDaniel team has been hard at work finding gifts that we personally have added to our letters to Santa and that you should consider in the coming weeks. Be you a Holistic Nutritionist, a Mom or a Foodie.. We have each come up with a list of items that are this season’s Holiday Must Haves. SO, without further ado, come and see what I have put together for my first ever Holiday Gift Guide for us all! Continue reading “#DoTheDaniel’s Holiday Gift Guide | Amanda”

Family Lifestyle | Shoes are Boring. Wear Sneakers.

Now, I’m pretty sure you’ve noticed by now that I have a thing for kid’s shoes. But I bet you didn’t know that Lyric’s very FIRST pair of shoes, were Converse! Pretty much as soon as I found out I was pregnant, I went online and ordered the smallest pair of Classic Converse Chuck Taylor‘s they make! Let me tell you.. they were ADORABLE! I remember getting them in the mail, opening them up and placing them on my (HUGE) belly in anticipation!

Family Lifestyle | TOMS

Lyric has now officially started full day school (insert LOTS of tears here), and while it’s been a HUGE transition, I think I’m finally starting to get into the swing of this new schedule! One of the things I learned during our intake interview was that Lyric would be changing his shoes about 8 times a day. EIGHT!?! And as we know, he doesn’t really like shoes, he’s a flip flop kid, so he doesn’t get a lot of practice putting shoes on. I immediately looked at his current shoe collection (remember that shopping problem from my previous post?), and got started on him taking them all on and off. Some were easier than others, and some were just not going to happen at all! One of the easiest pairs were TOMS!

If there’s one thing I will freely admit, it’s that I have a shopping problem. I just can’t resist clothes for Lyric! They’re all soo cute and small and fun and now, stylish! I know all you moms-of-boys are out there thinking, “ya, cute and stylish stuff for GIRLS.”. Boys’ clothes has come a LONG way, and I’m finding more and more ways to create style out of Lyric’s wardrobe. Seeing as there are so many ways of styling all over printed shirts, I have actually enjoyed seeing what I could pair my kids’ clothes with. It wasn’t as hard as I initially thought, but that what’s fun about fashion. Now, if there’s something else about me, it’s that I like a good deal, you will always find me in the clearance section first! I currently have bins of clothes for Lyric up to size 10 (he’s 3), no joke. HAHA! I told you.. it’s a problem! One of my FAVOURITE stores to shop for him is, hands down, H&M. Their clothes are extremely reasonably priced and CRAZY stylish! I have been known to drive hours just to shop at H&M! (hallelujah we FINALLY got one here in Ottawa!)
