Spending the Holidays Alone? This is the Gift You Need!

Hi friend, since there is an obvious reason as to why you found this blog post, we want to extend our love to you during this time as you prep to spend the holidays alone. Whether it’s a training, deployment, or a last-minute tasker, it’s not fun to be without your person during this season! Retail therapy is a nice way to boost your mood and give you a little pick-me-up during seasons like this way the days seem to be so long (and nights even longer!) while you are missing your loved one. Here are some of our favorite presents to gift yourself this year!

Hair Treatment

Kirstin just recently snagged this leave-in treatment after loving another product from this brand and it was life-changing just on the first use! Why not give your hair the moment it deserves, then master life with your new silky locks before your significant other returns? We are here for it!

Coconut and Soy Wax Candles

If you have been in one of our homes at any given time, you will find us burning a candle. Specifically a SWAE candle. SWAE is veteran-owned and operated and created natural coconut and soy wax candles that are 100% additive free! Meaning they are safe for everyone, including pets and children. Truly some of the longest-burning and best-smelling candles we have ever gotten out hands on. Bonus, we collaborated with them to great a few candles of our own and THIS ONE for sure will give you a good laugh at the label, all while making your home smell incredible!

The Coziest Blanket

Like the BFD blankets but better…because they are more affordable! Truly though, we have both brands and THIS one may even be thicker than the OG. Call us obsessed! Just be warned, you may need two, because when your spouse returns, they will be battling you over it!

Cocktail Glasses

We keep wanting to say “this is THE treat yourself gift” with each item but truly, drinking your favorite cocktail out of a chic glass is the definition of elevated in our minds! THESE glasses are absolutely worthy of changing your cocktail game!

Neck Massager

We are here for bringing the spa into your home, so get your favorite candle (we are partial to veteran-owned SWAE!) or essential oils going and grab your neck massager. Because milso life can be stressful and you know you’re carrying that stress in your shoulders!

Athleisure Set

When you can feel like you are hanging on by the small thread used to sew velcro onto your loved ones’ name tapes, a new athleisure set could be just what you need to appear, at least, like you are keeping it together.

Meaningful Jewelry

We are big fans of Charliemadison Originals as a milspo-owned business but also for what their bracelets stand for. Such big fans, in fact, that we collaborated on a stunning bracelet. Check it out HERE! They serve as a sweet and delicate reminder of our purpose for a positive mindset and help us keep what’s really important in perspective. This lifestyle isn’t for the faint of heart, and sometimes the best reminder we can receive is knowing we aren’t doing it alone.

Sheet Masks

The gift that keeps on giving! These sheet masks are perfect for having the ultimate girl’s night. Slap one of these on, turn on your favorite trash TV show you save for when your spouse is gone, and grab a beverage of your choosing and *enjoy*.

Silk Pillowcase

We both have THESE pillowcases and can attest to how luxurious it makes you feel to sleep on silk! But also, your hair and face with thank you!

Linen Sheets

At the same time, we both, without knowing about the other, switched to THESE linen sheets, and let us be the first to say that sleeping on linen is an experience. These sheets get softer with every wash and are really just the gift that keeps on giving!
