Courtesy Ayesha CurryStruggling with the little ones on your shopping list this year? Worry not—Ayesha Curry's here to help.
As the mama of one of the most adorable tots around (the one and only Riley Curry), this blogger and all around lifestyle guru is offering up her best holiday advice for all your festive needs this year. After all, we're only 22 days out from Christmas now, and a mere three days away from the kick of Hanukkah!
With that in mind, we bee-lined straight for Ayesha, who's currently partnering with T.J.Maxx, to get the scoop on whipping up the best gift list for friends and fam (even the impossible-to-shop-for folks), how she'll be dressing Riley and newborn Ryan for all those holiday soirees and the dream gift she received ahead of time from NBA hubby Stephen Curry.
What tips do you have for holiday shopping? And what gifts do you fall back on for the tricky people on your list?
I know firsthand that life can get pretty hectic but especially when you add holiday shopping to the mix. So I am constantly looking for ways to simplify and get the most out of my days. My biggest tip is find a store that has it all—for me, that's T.J.Maxx. I know I can stop in and get unique and meaningful gifts that everyone in my life will love—even the ones who are tricky. For those people, I get creative… sometimes it's creating a themed gift. If I know the person is a foodie, I might put together a basket with decorative dishware, nice wine glasses, holiday themed napkins, a sturdy cutting board and an assortment of gourmet cheese and crackers.
What tips do you have about shopping for the little ones around the holidays?
Have fun with it! Parents can stress themselves out trying to find the perfect gifts but little ones are generally easily pleased even if their list includes something completely ridiculous. I like to pick up classic children's books and stickers, stamps, and other small art supplies as stocking stuffers. Big stuffed animals look great under the tree—and don't need any wrapping! I always love to find gifts for them that we can enjoy together. Riley loves to cook with me so if I can find her safe and fun cook and bake ware so she can be mommy's sous chef that's always a big crowd pleaser.
