Puffer (in pumice) & Sweatshirt (in light blue), Madewell Jeans, Garrett Leight Sunglasses

With the holiday season in full swing, we thought it would be helpful to share a recap of some of our favorite Amazon items we purchased in November. If you’re like me, you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment, with too many to-do lists and not enough time. We are here to help with a streamlined list of fifteen items our family owns and loves, all from Amazon. Perfect gift ideas for family and friends (or for yourself!). Visit our Amazon Gift Guide and Amazon Storefront as well, for more amazing finds for the holidays, and every day!

Straight-Leg Jeans

A comfortable pair of everyday jeans like these are what I reach for when I’m not sure what to wear. This time of year, I’ll pair them with a soft pullover sweater.

de Gournay Coffee Table Book

I could spend all day flipping through this gorgeous book, by Claud Gurney, filled with an inspiring collection of hand-painted chinoiserie wallpaper designs.

Sidewalk Chalk

We’ve had hours of fun with Clementine creating masterpieces with this sidewalk chalk, though I think the adults enjoyed it the most! This twenty piece set is non-toxic, and draws on thick and smooth, while easily washing off.

Lightweight Puffer Jacket

Chilly mornings call for coats and jackets, and this hooded, water-resistant puffer adds warmth without weighing down. It is also packable, making it ideal to take on day trips or weekend get-aways.

Velvet Ribbon

I bought this spool of green velvet ribbon with plans for a variety of holiday uses, from gift wrapping, to decorating our tree, to wearing in my hair tied as a headband or bow.

Satin Pajamas

I was pleasantly surprised by how incredibly luxurious this silky, soft blue pajama set feels. If I could, I would stay in them all day long!

Beeswax Crayons

My sister, Lauren, had so much fun showing Clementine how to color with these easy to hold crayons, handmade from natural beeswax so they are non-toxic and safe for littles. The set includes twelve crayons in popular primary colors.

Silicone Drawing Mat

We just began introducing creative crafts, like coloring and painting, to Clementine. This crafting mat is a game changer when it comes to protecting our table and keeping any messes in one easy-to-clean space.

Rattan Coffee Table Book

I am a collector of coffee table books, and this one, by Lulu Little, about the history and appeal of rattan furniture, adds a beautiful touch to our living room decor, complimenting our own collection of rattan pieces as well.

V-Neck Sweater

The pleated shoulder and full sleeve on this v-neck sweater makes it stand-out from traditional styles. I have it in soft blue, but it also comes in a beautiful olive green..

When Santa Was A Baby Book

We’ve been collecting Christmas books for Clementine, and this one is one of her favorites – a sweet story about a quirky child who, with the loving support of his parents, grows up to become Santa.

Bowl Set

This echo-friendly, colorful small bowl set has come in handy for a number of uses, from mealtime, to snack time, to craft time.

Fleece Sweatshirt

This fleece pull-over sweatshirt adds a cozy layer for our early morning walks around the neighborhood.

Chino Pants

I’ve worn these chino pants on repeat with a cardigan sweater (love the green shade) and crewneck tee, whether holiday shopping, or simply relaxing at home.

Plant Partners Book

Thomas recently pre-ordered this book to take a more science-based approach to planning his vegetable garden.
