Ladies, it’s that time again!  It’s time to start thinking about some gift ideas for your guy!  I know.  Grumble.  They’re so hard to shop for!  Easter will be here before you know it and, if you like making an Easter basket for your honey bunny each year, you might want to check out some of these Easter basket gift ideas.  

I used to make my husband an Easter basket every year and fill it with essentials like socks, body wash, and include some of his favorite snacks and candy.  But the boo got candy for Valentine’s Day and I filled his Christmas stocking with some of those essentials.  It all starts to feel a little unnecessary and repetitive after a while.  

Instead, I’m going to have some fun filling up an Easter basket for my guy this year with some out-of-the-box gift ideas!  Sure, a few chocolate bunnies will hop their way into his basket, but I also plan on including some unique and practical Easter gifts like tools and skincare products to keep him looking fine!  If you need a little help filling up your guy’s Easter basket, check out these 15 gift ideas!

How to Create a Butterfly Garden

by Leave a Comment

Fill your yard with colorful flowers and host plants this spring and create a beautiful butterfly garden that will attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds!

Last year, I was so excited to get started on my black flower garden! I had a lot of success starting my flowers in a seed starting tray and transplanting them around Mother’s Day.  As much as I loved how unique the black flowers looked in our garden, I missed having color everywhere.  I missed it even more when butterflies started to visit our yard.

Even though we lacked an abundance of color, we still had a few flowers and plants that the butterflies really seemed to enjoy – like marigolds, bee balm, and dill and carrot tops for the caterpillars to feed on. We’re about to start our seeds again for spring planting and, this year, I’ve decided to plant a full butterfly garden.

Butterflies are mostly attracted to red, orange, yellow, pink, and white flowers, but like purple flowers, as well.  I’m mainly concentrating on growing flowers for containers, but plan on adding flowers in different heights and colors to each pot.  

Everything you need to create a butterfly garden!

 
Here’s the cool thing about creating a butterfly garden – you can plant more than just flowers!  So if you want to grow an edible garden, you can!  You’ll not only be able to harvest fresh herbs and vegetables, but you’ll be able to provide food sources for growing caterpillars.  You might want to grow extra dill though!  The caterpillars devoured mine last year!

These plants might attract more than just butterflies.  The vibrant colors and nectar can also attract hummingbirds (although, I’ve never seen any in our area) and bees.  It’s so important to help out the bees! 

  1. African Marigolds
  2. Butterfly Weed
  3. Carrots
  4. Cactus Flowered Zinnias
  5. Nasturtium Jewel
  6. Bee Balm
  7. Salvia
  8. Mixed Petunias
  9. Dill
  10. Butterfly Bush
  11. Mexican Sunflowers
  12. Geraniums
  13. Dahlia Pompon Mix
  14. Garden Phlox
  15. Butterfly Puddling Stone

I’m so looking forward to filling our pots with colorful flowers and host plants for the butterflies this year!  Want to see our garden’s progress?  Follow along on Instagram!

If you plant your own butterfly garden this year, I’d love to see it (and the butterflies that visit your yard)!  Make sure to tag me @lavidaholoka and share with the hashtags #livinglavidaholoka or #livinglavidadiy!

Farmhouse Style St. Patrick’s Day Decor

Decorate for St. Patrick’s Day with all the charm and rustic appeal of farmhouse style with these Farmhouse Style St. Patrick’s Day Decor picks from Amazon!

I keep my St. Patrick’s Day decorations pretty minimal like the rest of our home.  There’s a faux boxwood wreath hanging on the front door (an all-season staple), a couple painted horseshoes (one that’s my mom’s and one that I bought on a farm), and a few simple green touches, like glass lanterns filled with candles. 

I tend to gravitate towards farmhouse style decor with a hint of boho here and there.  I like the classic look of farmhouse trends.  It’s timeless and makes our home feel cozy!  Buffalo check has become so trendy that it’s not only become a staple in our everyday decor, it’s part of our holiday decor as well.  So when I saw buffalo check decorations for St. Patrick’s Day, I couldn’t help but add a few to my Amazon wishlist!   

If you’re getting ready for St. Patrick’s Day, and would like to add a few more decorations to your home, check out these 12 items from Amazon.  Aside from trendy buffalo check, there’s an adorable plush gnome, a comfy blanket, and some cute farmhouse style St. Patrick’s Day signs!  These green items are festive enough for St. Patrick’s Day, but minimal enough to incorporate into any home! 

Farmhouse Style St. Patrick’s Day Decor 
  1. Texture Green Throw Blanket
  2. Framed Wood St. Patrick’s Day Sign
  3. Faux Boxwood Wreath
  4. Scandinavian Plush Gnome
  5. St. Patrick’s Day Throw Pillow Covers

13 Unique Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him

Not sure what to get your guy for Valentine’s Day? Get him something more than a gift card or a box of chocolates with these 13 Unique Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him!

OMG! Why are guys the hardest people to shop for ever?!  I’m married to a guy who already has everything and shops on Amazon as much as I do (no hiding the packages under the mat in this house)!  That doesn’t leave much in the gift-giving department besides a gift card to one of his favorite stores.  And if I’m going to get my boo a gift card, I going to make damn sure that he gets more than just a piece of plastic in an envelope!

Valentine’s Day is coming up and if you’re stuck on a gift to get for the handsome man in your life, I’ve got a few ideas for you.  In fact, I’ve got 13 of them!  My husband and I stopped exchanging gifts for Valentine’s Day – or so we’ve said – but I still get him a couple small gifts every year.  Usually it’s the same little box of chocolates and a card.  Plus, we have a romantic dinner at home and pick up dessert at the bakery to share. 

But every once in a while, an extra gift sneaks into his Valentine’s Day gift bag.  Usually it’s something humorous that we’ll both laugh at, or a new shirt, or some of his favorite snacks.  Maybe this year, it’ll be one of these gifts!

13 Unique Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him
  1. Drive Safe Keychain
  2. What I Love about You Fill-in-the-Blank Book
  3. Couples Game: Talk, Flirt or Dare Cards for 3 Games in 1
