I am so excited to share CC and Mikes Family Favorite Things for 2017. I have had so many people message me and ask me for teen gift ideas or gift ideas for their husbands. I have already shared some gift guides (Gifts and Stocking Stuffers under $25, Holiday Gift Guides for Everyone and 21 Gifts from West Elm) but this one is different. WHY?! Because this guide is all about CC and Mike and our entire family sharing our very favorite things. Think Oprah’s Favorite Things but the CC and Mike edition. We are sharing our very favorite things with you guys and a little bit about why we can’t live without these favorites.
Not only are these products tried and true by the Millers but they would make excellent gift choices. And if your gift shopping is done, that is awesome! You can still treat yourself with any of these products all year long because they are must-haves in our opinion!
Happy Shopping and we hope you enjoy CC and Mike’s Family Favorite Things 2017 and maybe even find some excellent gift ideas for yourself or for others! If you scroll to the bottom of this post, you can click directly on the pictures of our favorite things to shop and also read why each person in our family said it was their favorite!

For Everyone
Magnetic – OK, I have to mention my debut novel, Magnetic, because truly, it is one of my family’s most favorite things. My almost 13 year old son, Easton, has now read it 5 times and my daughter is on her second time reading it. Coco isn’t old enough to read it but he can’t wait to. Mike Miller doesn’t read but he loves to tell everyone that he inspired the main character, Maverick Mason. I guess you’ll have to read it for yourself and decide if that is true or not (ha!)
This book is obviously near and dear to my heart since during the writing process, I found healing and forgiveness for the man who tried to murder my mother when I was a little girl. If you want to read more about our story you can do that in this Tulsa World feature article on my mother and I and our forgiveness journies. I would be honored if you would consider reading Magnetic and sharing it with all your friends and family. It is a Young Adult fiction mystery/romance about a young girl named Elle Christiansen who is struggling to cope in the aftermath of an unsolved violent crime, her mother’s murder.
Hasty Bake – This is something our entire family loves. If your husband likes to smoke meat or wants to learn, this will not disappoint. We absolutely love when Mike Miller cooks on his hasty bake and we use this ALL THE TIME!

What a great idea for a blog! Darling family! Precious pup!
Thank you so much Sandy!
Thank you for this! Question: How do your boys hang the nest up in their rooms? My boys would love a hammock but I’m not sure how they hang them and are able to take them down and around with them as well. Hooks into the studs?
I was was wondering the same thing as Sandy! We have that hammock for camping. Great list though:)
My husband bought the hardware the hammock brand makes to attach it to the walls! There is EMO hardware.
