The Sweater Gift Guide
I’m a fan of all things made for sweater weather. There’s something so cozy about slipping one on the first crisp cool day of the season. Sweaters are one of the perfect gift for all ages in all climates. You can wear one layered under a warm jacket in the Winter or throw on a cardigan over a tank top in the Summer. For cool nights they are nice to drape over the shoulders and there’s just nothing better than reaching for one at the beginning of Fall. I absolutely adore other things made of sweater knits like pants, dresses and even throw pillows around the home for the cozy months. Today I’ve rounded up sweaters for the entire family perfect to gift this season!
For Her
Some of my favorite things to look for in a sweater include quality and softness. No one likes wearing something itchy. I’ve found finding blends with wool and cashmere allow the material to breathe better while keeping me warm. I also reach for classic cuts and soft colors for the season. Here are a few perfect sweaters for any lady in your life that will withstand the test of time.
For Him
For a gentleman try grabbing something simple, unembellished and classic. Most guys I know love good quality and classic colors. A warm tan or light blue work on almost every complexion without adding too much color to a neutral wardrobe. Blue has a tendency to work on almost everyone I know. Another great option is a cozy gray or two toned stripe. When in doubt size up and make sure you read the reviews! It saves a lot of headache when grabbing a gift for someone.
For Kids
There’s not much in this world cuter than a tiny sweater. Boy do I love these onesies, little dresses and miniature cardigans. For kids, they tend to grow fast so again when in doubt size up. Better to have something to grow into than something that fits tight. I love the little ruffle details and bows on some of the ones below for a little girl and the bear hoodie is just adorable for any child!
For the past year and a half, I have a confession to make. I spiraled. I’m not sure exactly what spurred it on, but I went down a worry wormhole like none other. Part of it felt like it started at the beginning of pregnancy. As my therapist and I discussed the why over this past year she brought to my attention that it was likely a form of protection like a mama bear would have with her cubs. None the less it got to a point where I felt like I couldn’t go a day without fear arising. Trauma in life can do some crazy things to the brain. It can carve channels that spur fear by creating neurological connections. That’s the science behind it, and the good news is - you can change it. It’s called neuroplasticity. Both prayer and meditation are proven to rewire the brain. Today I’m going to share a few ways you can take your power back and let go of worrying for life.
