Intentionally Ordinary Gift Guides 2023
Find our gift guides for anyone, her, him, and kids!
We’re back again with some intentional gift guides! We’re all about shopping purposefully and buying high quality gifts that last a long time and can be used for any occasion! Though we make these gift guides around the Christmas season, feel free to reference back to these anytime (birthdays, Valentine’s Day, etc).
Everything will be linked below for easy shopping & many of the links will be affiliate links. This just means we get a small percentage back when you shop through our link — and we so appreciate it when you do! We hope you find some inspiration in these guides.

Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2023
We’ve rounded up our favorite gifts for Mother’s Day this year!
Mother’s Day is right around the corner! We’ve rounded up our favorite most used items, some gifts we’re hoping for, and some fun things we want to gift to the moms and mom friends in our lives. Use this as your own wishlist, or shop for friends and family.
Alabaster Co. Bible Books — We love using these beautifully made Bible books as study companions and as gorgeous coffee table books! I’ve linked their entire Mother’s Day gift idea page — there are so many great ideas here including various Bible book sets, a floral tote, and a bookmark.
The cutest goods from Chalk Full of Love — we LOVE all things CFL! We could honestly link half the site for you & highly recommend browsing around (especially the mugs and candles!). But I will leave you with the link for this adorable Mama hat that I wish I owned.
Essential oil roller bottles — we love these floral scents, they would make a great gift for anyone who appreciates these lovely scents found in nature!
Hu chocolate — satisfy mom’s sweet tooth with our favorite naturally sweetened, vegan & paleo friendly chocolate bars! This links to an 8-pack (wouldn’t that be fun to try??) or swing by your local Sprouts or Whole Foods & find them in the candy aisle.
Jewelry we use and wear every day — I’ve had my Made By Mary jewelry ever since my girls were born, and I’ve loved the quality and style of these pieces. I’ve gifted these before and I’m currently eyeing some new rings to add to my collection. I’ve linked the birth flower necklace — this piece is a great way to celebrate your kids!
Skin care pampering set — I’m always looking to up my skin care regimen and recently found this set! I’m loving the mineral boost, it’s silky and super nourishing. Any mama would love to make every night a spa night with these!
Cozy jammies are always the answer — I’m always on the look out for a good pajama set and I’m in love with this cozy but perfect for spring/summer set! Comes in lots of different colors!
Mom’s favorite drink — we love matcha, but gifting your mom’s favorite coffee or tea (or cocktail & wine, let’s be real) would make her day!
Valentine’s Gift Ideas
We’re rounding up some fun gift ideas for women, men, and kids this Valentine’s Day!
I love any excuse to celebrate love and to give gifts, how about you? Today we’ve rounded up a few ideas to gift your friends, significant others, and kids for Valentine’s Day. Check it out!
Citrus Body Bar - any bath essentials make fabulous Valentine’s and Galentine’s day gifts! We love this citrus bar from Beauty Counter! (if you don’t already shop with a consultant, please select Alisa Jeffus during check out! I’d appreciate your support!)
Gourmet Mexican Vanilla - this is hands down the best vanilla we’ve ever baked with! This gift would be perfect for the baker in your life!
Pajamas - always pajamas! Comfy, cozy, cute. You just really can’t go wrong with gifting yourself or your bestie with a pair of these ultra soft Valentine’s jammies.
Live-in tank - I bought myself this tank & high rise undies set years ago and I’m still obsessed with them! Classic cut, perfect for light weight jammies or to wear during the day/under your clothes.
Candles - I’m also a huge fan of gifting candles (and gifting them to myself too), I have my eye on this Palo Santo candle from Chalkfull of Love in their Valentine’s collection. Check out their mugs and other fun items too!
Romance novel - know a bookish gal who’s looking for her next book? Grab a fun romance novel! I’ve linked one of my favorites - The People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry. I’ve loved reading this author along with Taylor Jenkins Reid, Abby Jimenez, Carley Fortune, and Ali Hazelwood.
Valentine’s books - books about love, friendship, and sharing are always a great idea, and make the best gifts for kids this time of year. I created an idea list of my favorite PaperPie reads I think kids of all ages will love!
Pajamas - I love gifting my girls pajamas for almost every holiday. Its such a cozy way to celebrate! Our favorite, softest sets come from Plain Jane. We’ve bought multiple pairs for each girl now because we just love the quality!
Bath bubbles - in addition to pajamas, I also love gifting bubbles for every holiday! We’re big fans of Tubby Todd and love all of their scents. Bath bombs would be a fun gift too!
Butterfly wings - I love open ended dress up play and my girls love it to! Grabbing a toy where they can use their imagination is always a great gift! We love this one from Sarah’s Silks!
Kid’s garden bed - start the spring off right with this kid sized garden! They’ll have so much fun getting their hands dirty during planting, watering their plants, watching them grow, and then eating what they’ve grown!
Personalized puzzle - my daughter just learned how to spell her name and I know she’d love putting together this personalized puzzle all day long.
Ember coffee mug - we love this mug that keeps itself warm! Now his coffee will never get cold.
Comfy beanie - we love shopping Patagonia for their sustainability practices, so we always turn to them for outdoor gear and clothes. We love this one to keep your SO warm!
No bleed highlighters- is your partner an avid reader? These highlighters are AMAZING! They don’t bleed and come in aesthetically pleasing colors (read: not obnoxious). You have to check these out!
Gym equipment - support your guy’s fitness goals with these gym essentials or grab some equipment for a home gym! We love this brand!
We hope this list inspires you if you’re giving gifts for Valentine’s this year! Experiences make wonderful gifts as well, so if you’re going gift free, I hope you find a fun way to celebrate your love for your spouse, partner, friends, and kids!
