Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Here in San Francisco, we are having a low-keyed day like most of you I’m sure. Probably a hike in the morning, board games, food, and laughs…and telephone calls to missing family members.
I’ve got some suggestions for you to take advantage of Black Friday sales. Tommy and Luca (Alie’s boyfriend) gave me their ideas for gifts for young men. There are also dog gifts that Chief and his new little seven-month-old niece, Dolly would like. And finally…a few things I’d like although I don’t really need anything.
Young Men’s ~ Tommy’s and Luca’s Gift Guide
Rechargeable Face And Body Shaver gets great reviews. • All Birds Slip-Ons Howard loves these so much (and the lace-up version, too) that Tommy wants them too. They are soft like slippers but you can wear them out and they are machine washable. • Beer Mkr This is a new product and sort of pricey but Luca and Tommy are very intrigued! • Warby Parker has a great selection of sunglasses. Tommy likes these. • Scattergories Luca brought this for Thanksgiving and we are having a great time playing it. • Tommy tried this on and loved this shirt jacket (so shhhh…I ordered it…it’s in the mail now). It’s 50% off and really comfortable. • Aesop Body Wash Tommy likes using ours so much that he treated himself to some for his birthday. • Kiehl’s Face Moisturizer Tommy loves this brand. • Play Station Five The latest and greatest (but really, Luca? You already have the Play Station Four.)

Cute Pup Gifts
Mask and pet bandana set Well, I might feel dumb walking around SF in matching masks and bandanas, but I think Chief might like it 🙂 • Pet carrier on wheels Chief could really use this for his frequent flights to SoCal (his is pretty trashed as he is our second dog to use it over several years). • Pretty Bag Holders Chief used to have the green one but Dolly has absconded with it. So I think I need to get her a pink one and take back Chief’s. • Calming Furry Pet Bed Dolly LOVES hers. I think Chief would really like one, too.
My Ultimate Gift Wish List
What I want most for Christmas is to time spend with family and friends and not worry about anyone catching the bug! So I will push that off for Christmas 2021! But here are other good things.
Brown Sugar Body Polish • J. Crew Cashmere Turtleneck I got this in emerald green last year (love it) and would like another color like camel. 50% off. • Dreamy Cotton Pajamas Also 50% off. • Sunday Riley Vitamin C Cream• Roomba My friend Lisa, my sister, and my daughter ALL love their Roombas (robot vacuum cleaner). This one is $100 off right now. • Air Pod Pro Case It’s just so cute. • Faux Fur Throw Perhaps for the end of my bed? I’ve given this as a gift to others.

Great gift ideas for young men! With five grown grandsons, I am always frantic about finding something they will enjoy. I’ve saved your list for next year and for birthdays. A question about the faux fur throw – is the 50″x60″ size ample or do you like the larger size? (I’m not close to a PB store, so can’t go see it.) I have loved your blog for years, and during this very difficult year, you have brightened my days with your “favorite things” and optimistic outlook. Thank you.

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thank you for the gift ideas…I am actually going to buy the razor for my husband. He dislikes shaving and when he was at home for 6 months he was only shaving about once every 3 weeks, but has continued that trend even though he is back at work. :o/ He actually takes out his hair trimmer to use on his beard before the razor because it has gotten too long.
Love your Christmas tree display!
I am thankful for you Mary Ann!

Happy Thanksgiving Mary Ann:)
Just played a really fun card game with my 27 year old who loves it and she got it from my 24 year old son.
It’s called Star Realm and you can also play it online. HIghly recommend as a gift if you have family like mine who love strategy games.
Mary Ann Pickett says
Thanks, Francesca for the suggestion! I will look into it.

There is a robot cleaner that an be programed and goes straight back and forth. It came out after I got mine. Mine is roving around the house right now and I wish I could program it.
