After posting Valentine’s Day gifts for her, I had a few requests for gifts for guys. I think shopping for guys will always be a challenge. It can be kind of exciting though, especially when you find that perfect something. Below are just a few ideas I have:
A Great Book (like Boys in the Boat) // USB Record Player
NFL Beanie // Patterned Socks // Bose Bluetooth Speaker
Snap-T Fleece Pullover // Monogrammed Pocket Squares // Tex-Mex Key Fob
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche_us!
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using:
– Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items
– Google docs for writing/brainstorming
– Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...)
– Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs
– Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines
– Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
I like the idea of gifting a beanie, scarf, or socks! And everyone loves speakers 🙂 And food 🙂 -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s

Isn’t it the funniest thing ever?! There’s a taco on the other side!
These are so cute! My husband would love the Crosley so much!
Ugh, guys are so hard to shop for. Great ideas. That fleece sweatshirt would look great on any guy!

These are great ideas! My gal-pals are my valentines this year, but my dad always sends me flowers so I love these idea to return him the favor 🙂

My boyfriend has everything on this list! Great picks! The only difference is I did the needlepointing for his belt, rather than buy from S&B. That’s a really fun and personalized way to do a needlepoint gift, but you just need to plan ahead!
Love a good book recommendation! My husband and I are a bit book obsessed (total understatement). I get a little starry-eyed walking into bookstores, as in I want to sweep my arm across the table and take home every book that will fit in my arms! He’s the exact same way! I’m going to have to get him the one about the rowers because he loves a good nonfiction!

Hey! I hate to be a party pooper about the Crosley portable record player, but the needle that comes standard on them dulls really easily. If the person you’re buying for is an avid record collector, it would be good to encourage them to replace it straight away, to ensure that their records don’t get scratched. 🙁
