2020 WGC Gift Guides

Here’s the deal guys… Black Friday pretty much doesn't exist this year. Like is anyone actually venturing out of their house to shop - doubtful!! I'm doing it all online and I'm starting now! We’ve got 5 guides to start (home, baby, tech gear and cookbooks will be added shortly!) and they are perfection.

First – kitchen splurges. These aren’t so much splurges and really they are investments. Aka, they aren’t cheap but they’ll last you forever!

 

1. Breville Espresso – Thomas is a coffee / espresso snob and now that he can make his own every morning our credit card bill doesn’t have little $5 charges multiple times a day! Another option if you prefer a different color!
2. Breville Tea Kettle – my latest investment and OMG it’s changed my tea game for real!
3. All Clad Pots and Pans – if you want a new set of pots and pans, this is my go to!
4. KitchenAid Stand Mixer – I mean, no explanation needed.
5. Le Creuset Braiser – keep adding to your collections! These beauties will never go out of style
6. Global Knife – if you want my IGLives on Mondays, you know this is my go-to knife. And if you want a starter set - this is my fav
7. Vitamix Blender – smoothies, sauces, soups… you name it. It’s the most used thing in my kitchen
8. Finex Cast Iron Skillet - the chicest cast iron of all times! I have the 10-inch

Fifth- Tech Gear from Thomas

1. Sony Camera: 61 Megapixels is kinda mind blowing.  Welp that's what this camera is.  If you are looking to take massive photos that you want to print out super large this is your camera.  Pretty crazy to think that the cameras we had like 10 years ago were 10 and 14 megapixels.  
2. Sony Lens: If you have the A7R you need an equally impressive lens to get the ultimate shots in a super crisp sharp image.  Enter my workhorse lens, (actually the only lens I have at the moment, my 24-70GM.  It's a game changer.  
3. Google Nest Wifi: Is your wifi connection poor at your house? Are you still using the router that your cable company provided? Step your game and your signal up with this super easy to install google nest wifi.  Best part about it is that it's expandable so when you move to a larger home, you can get a couple more of these suckers and still have awesome speeds across your entire home.  
4. GoPro Hero Max: Looking to make that epic travel video? Don't know if you should get the new gopro hero 9 or the 360 gopro hero max? I opted for the 360 camera and have not been disappointed.  It pretty much does everything the new regular gopro does plus it can shoot in 360.  
5. GoPro Jaws Flex Mount: Pretty much the only gopro mount I use.  It literally attaches to almost anything. When shooting in the wild versatility is key.  This is as versatile as you can get.  If you have a gopro this is a must have.  
6. Feit Recessed Smart Light Bulb: Looking to change the color temp of your lights at home? Enter Feit smart lighting.  These bulbs connect to your wifi network so you can control everything with your phone, including the color of your light.  You can thank me later. 
7. Lutron Caseta: Looking to turn your current home lighting smart? Want Lutron but don't want to spend all the money that Lutron costs? Check these caseta switches out.  They are made by lutron and they are the world's easiest thing to install to instantly turn your home into a smart home. 
8. Airpods are great.  Add noise canceling tech to them and somehow great gets even better.  
9. Nest Hub Max: Pretty much Gaby's life line in the kitchen when it comes to timers.  It also plays nicely with my smart lights, Sonos speakers, and every other connected device in our home.  
10. Sonos Arc: Step up your home audio with this amazing speaker.  One of the first soundbars that is ready to play dolby atmos.  It not only sounds EPIC but looks amazing.  So long big ugly speakers. Also available on Amazon
