4. Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez ($23.99)

Justin has a curse, and thanks to a Reddit thread, it’s now all over the internet. Every woman he dates goes on to find their soul mate the second they break up. When a woman slides into his DMs with the same problem, they come up with a plan: They’ll date each other and break up. Their curses will cancel each other’s out, and they’ll both go on to find the love of their lives. It’s a bonkers idea… and it just might work.

Emma hadn’t planned that her next assignment as a traveling nurse would be in Minnesota, but she and her best friend agree that dating Justin is too good of an opportunity to pass up, especially when they get to rent an adorable cottage on a private island on Lake Minnetonka.

It’s supposed to be a quick fling, just for the summer. But when Emma’s toxic mother shows up and Justin has to assume guardianship of his three siblings, they’re suddenly navigating a lot more than they expected–including catching real feelings for each other. What if this time Fate has actually brought the perfect pair together?

5. The Briar Club: A Novel ($25.99)

Washington, DC, 1950. Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House, a down-at-the-heels all-female boardinghouse in the heart of the nation’s capital where secrets hide behind white picket fences. But when the lovely, mysterious widow Grace March moves into the attic room, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors into unlikely friendship: poised English beauty Fliss, whose facade of perfect wife and mother covers gaping inner wounds; policeman’s daughter Nora, who finds herself entangled with a shadowy gangster; frustrated baseball star Beatrice, whose career has come to an end along with the women’s baseball league of WWII; and poisonous, gung-ho Arlene, who has thrown herself into McCarthy’s Red Scare.

Grace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their lives, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. When a shocking act of violence tears the house apart, the Briar Club women must decide once and for all: who is the true enemy in their midst?

Capturing the paranoia of the McCarthy era and evoking the changing roles for women in postwar America, The Briar Club is an intimate and thrilling novel of secrets and loyalty put to the test.

6. A Song to Drown Rivers: Deluxe Edition ($42.00)

Xishi’s beauty is seen as a blessing to the villagers of Yue—convinced that the best fate for a girl is to marry well and support her family. When Xishi draws the attention of the famous young military advisor, Fanli, he presents her with a rare opportunity: to use her beauty as a weapon. One that could topple the rival neighboring kingdom of Wu, improve the lives of her people, and avenge her sister’s murder. All she has to do is infiltrate the enemy palace as a spy, seduce their immoral king, and weaken them from within.

Trained by Fanli in everything from classical instruments to concealing emotion, Xishi hones her beauty into the perfect blade. But she knows Fanli can see through every deception she masters, the attraction between them burning away any falsehoods.

Once inside the enemy palace, Xishi finds herself under the hungry gaze of the king’s advisors while the king himself shows her great affection. Despite his gentleness, a brutality lurks and Xishi knows she can never let her guard down. But the higher Xishi climbs in the Wu court, the farther she and Fanli have to fall—and if she is unmasked as a traitor, she will bring both kingdoms down.

7. Half Baked Harvest Quick & Cozy Cookbook (On Sale $30.80)

Mega-bestselling author Tieghan Gerard is busier than ever—always creating recipes, taking photographs, and collaborating with friends. In her fourth cookbook, she returns with a collection of more than 120 recipes that reflect the way she cooks now: simple ingredients, easy to get on the table, short on time yet big on flavor.

Having cooked for her large family from a young age, Tieghan loves the feeling of sharing great food—and now she wants to share that feeling with you. This collection leans into the comfort food she’s known for, but with an eye toward getting it ready in a hurry. With many recipes doable in one pot or pan, most in under forty-five minutes, and a more-is-more focus on flavor (but not ingredients), you’ll be feasting fast. Start your day with Maple Bacon Pancakes with Bourbon Maple Syrup, snack on Cheesy Roasted Shallot Bread, and make Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Bang Bang Sauce your family’s new favorite. Enjoy delicious twists like Sheet Pan Mac & Cheese with All the Crispy Edges, and, of course, finish it all off with something sweet, like a Dark Chocolate Pistachio Cake with Cream Cheese Icing.

 

 

Relying on basic ingredients and Tieghan’s signature knack for making sauces and dressings that you’ll want to double to keep on hand at all times, these recipes will make your meals feel like a warm hug. If you’ve ever needed a belly full of comfort and a plate bursting with fresh, unexpected flavors—and wanted it all right now—Half Baked Harvest Quick & Cozy is for you.

This is a great gift to ask your partner for this holiday season. So often women are ashamed of their sexuality and we need to take back our power! Lelo is a fantastic brand that makes incredibly high quality toys that will suit whatever you are looking for. I have several and have never been disappointed.

10. Kobo E-Reader( $179.99)

As I said I’ve become obsessed with Booktok the past year and this is my number one gift on my wish list. I specifically want a Kobo as the Kindle is unable to connect to the library ( if you are a Canadian) which is very important to me. If you are worried you can’t get Kindle Unlimited that isn’t an issue as Kobo has their own library you can subscribe to monthly with downloadable books and audiobooks as well! I love that you’re able to travel easily with it and not have to worry about possibly getting the book wet if you’re by the pool as the Kobo is waterproof.

11. Space Heater ($45.99)

If you know me then you know I hate being cold ( I really shouldn’t be living in Canada haha). Our bedroom specifically gets quite cold especially when we use our fireplace. A space heater makes a huge difference! Bonus if it is also a fan for the Summer months.

12. 5 in 1 Milk Frother ($59.99)

As a self proclaimed coffee snob a milk frother is a must. I have an espresso machine with a built in frother however, we also have an electric frother as well. We love being able to control how much foam you get on your coffee but the thing we love most is being able to make cold foam in the Summer months! Add in some vanilla syrup and it’s just like you’re at a Starbucks.

13. Cozy Slippers ( On Sale $50.39)

Who doesn’t love a new pair of slippers! We love these as they look incredibly similar to the Ugg pair at a much more reasonable price point.

14.  Robot Vacuum ( On Sale $349.99)

I don’t think I know anyone who couldn’t use a robot vacuum. Whether you have kids or fur babies I think this is something that helps save time that could be put to use elsewhere!

15.  Espresso Machine ( On Sale $499.99)

I will always preach that if you’re a coffee lover you NEED an espresso machine. While Nepresso and Keurig make great products there’s just something about grinding fresh beans from a local shop for your coffee every morning that make it taste that much better. We LOVE our Breville Bambino Plus machine so much and lucky for you guys its on sale!

 

We hope you enjoyed our list! Let us know if there is anything we missed!
