Hi, I’m Noulai!

I’m a mom of two little ones, Bradley and Olivia, wife to an amazing man in my life and dog mom to two Whippets, Molly and Dexter. Oh, I also have an amazing little sister, Nary; she’s my built-in babysitter. She’s awesome!

I live in beautiful sunny California with my husband, Brian. We have been together for over 12 years. I’m not going to say we’re perfect, let’s just say we like to make things work.

I’ve always had a passion for finding the right gift for every occasion. I always find something that fits the budget and is meaningful to the person receiving the gift. It takes a lot of time, effort and planning when it comes to finding the right gift. 

So, I decided to create this website dedicated to gift ideas and help me organize my thoughts. Here, you will find my top 10 gifts for any occasion. I will put a spotlight on a favorite gift item that I think you might like, and I will share my personal experiences. 

I am very excited to start this journey and share my recommendations. If you have any questions or just wanted to say “Hi!” shoot me an email at [email protected].

If you’re curious to find out more about me, follow me on Instagram!

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. If you’re wondering how to pronounce my name it’s New-Lie, sound it out exactly how it looks.
