Em + Anisten are at the age where they are pretty hard to shop for.. haha Here’s what they either have or really want for Christmas! If you have girls that aren’t quite to the teenage stage yet, check out the TWEEN GIRLS gift guide.
Levi’s – Em got these for back to school and they’ve instantly become her faves.

Airpod Max – You know my love for Apple… These are the best headphones, Em + Anisten agree!
SD Card Reader for your Phone – This is a lifesaver for me! I use it all the time to get photos from my camera to my phone instantly. If you have girls who love to use a camera this is a game changer.
Jovi Patch – My girls use these for period pain, but they are good for any type of pain! It dulls it out and has helped Em so much. I don’t understand the wizardry, but it works. Use code TARAGIFT!

Disco Essential Oil Diffuser – How fun is this? Definitely adding to cart for the girls.
Airbrush for Nails – This is meant to be used for makeup, but my girls use it for cool effects on their gel nails. You just fill the canister with rubbing alcohol and a couple drops of the nail polish you want and spray it on.
Birdie Alarm – If you’re like me, you worry about your kids safety.. A LOT. This alarm can go on a keychain and sends out a really loud sound when pressed.

Hatch Restore – I’ve been using this for quite some time now and LOVE it. It has a lot of functions, but my favorite is the sound machine and the light alarm. It gradually gets brighter and brighter to wake you up gradually.
