Ok, I consulted my top teenage experts - my nephews Dallin and Braden and my son Logan to help me with this post to give you ideas for your favorite teenage son, nephew, grandson, cousin, etc. I count on them to let me know what's in these days. I love these boys and they are crazy but they clean up really nicely too!
Here we go - here is what the teenagers want these days:
* Nike Air Force 1 lows or Air Max 97's in their favorite color or all white |
* Apple Airpod Pros OR Air Pods Max would be the ultimate
|
* Wristbands/bracelets and Lava Rock Bracelets
|

* Chain Necklaces |
* Gas cards to their favorite/closest gas station |
* Good, reliable chapstick like Nivea or Burt's Bees |
* Ring Variety Pack |
* Good cologne - some good scents that aren't too expensive are Nautica Voyage, Clean Slate by Bath and Body Works, and Chrome Cologne for Men |
* Keychains with retractable cords |
* Good lotion for the dry winter months. Curel is nice and won't interfere with your cologne but if you want scented Bath and Body Ocean is good. |
* Lanyards - Nike or favorite team |
* Thread wallets - solid color or fav team |
* New Era fitted MLB hats with his favorite team |
* Stance Socks , no show socks, Nike low socks but crew style socks are fading out though - mid, low, or no shows are best. |
* travel size Ocean cologne |
* Gift Cards to their favorite food places |
* relaxed fit, untapered pants and jeans like here, or here, or here, |
* Nike Hoodie |
* Gum Packs! Favorites are Extra Polar Ice, Extra Spearmint, 5 Peppermint Gum |
* Carhartt Beanies or Lonely Ghost beanies are super popular right now |
* Blender bottle for working out |
* For gamers: XBox play store gift card or Playstation gift card |
* get them a new phone case (Casely also has fun ones) and a long charger |
* search Ebay for vintage sweatshirts of bands/colleges/teams/states they like |
* get them a big box of their favorite cereal, a big tub of Nesquik, or a bunch of Easy Mac, Black Forest Gummy Bears, Rice Krispie treats, or their favorite snack. Logan is also obsessed with Nitro Pepsi right now. |
We hope this gives you some good ideas for those teenage boys! Thanks for reading.

Hello, readers and friends! I just wanted to check in. This year feels so different. I can't believe how our calendar has been emptied of so many things. Right now we would be in the thick of Messiah performances, parties, church dinners, and school programs. As much as I have missed many of these I wonder if next year I will long for the slower, more peaceful season we've had this year?
The most exciting thing we have is that our oldest daughter, Lauren is returning home from her mission TOMORROW! We are so, so excited. It's been 18 months since we've seen her and we've been able to handle all that 2020 has thrown at us so far but I can't wait to get a hug from my girl. I've been trying to prepare a picture book as a gift of her mission experiences and have uploaded most of it but have decided that she needs to be involved in the final editing so it won't be much of a surprise! I'm using Persnickety Prints and will let you know how it all goes! I am trying to edit all of our family pictures from the beginning and want to put them in books so this may be a good starter project to see how it turns out and if we want to go this route for the other books.I really don't have any more pictures that are much different from last years. I seriously look at my own blog to remember how to decorate each year! So that's my tip for you is to take pictures of your decor so you don't have to overthink where everything goes. It's also handy to pull up if you see something in a store and wonder if it will fit in with what you already have. I did find these sweet little red berry wreaths you see in these pictures at a store called Coming Home in Orem. The same women that bought for the Tai Pan Trading stores have moved to this store if I understand it all correctly. Go check it out if you are local!

I hope to be more on it next year with updating everything but I probably say that every year?? I did want to share a favorite song I've been listening to that my SIL Maryn shared -- I had never heard it? All is Well by Carrie Underwood and Michael W. Smith So, so beautiful.
ALSO, completely random but my sister, Kristin has been looking for this vase and we were going to get it for her birthday and it never was in stock. It just came in stock last night if anyone is looking! And the Walmart I was at yesterday was already marking Christmas items on clearance. Don't be jealous of the sweater I snagged for $5! I literally laughed out loud when I saw it and knew it had to be mine.
I hope you are able to have a wonderful, peaceful Christmas. If you want to see a beautiful depiction of the birth of the Savior, this is my favorite. Merry, merry Christmas to each of you. ♥
Here are some pictures from around our home. I feel like there should be more everyday mess ones but I don't always feel inspired to grab my camera when it's a crazy mess. :) Come on in!
