“Since I discovered your gift guides a few years ago, I have referenced them year-round. I thought they were a great resource for birthday gifts, as well as Christmas.” – Lennie
Our readers know we are highly selective about what we put on our guides.
This and the 14 years of trust we have built up with our audience are just a few of the reasons our Gift Guides are a massive success.
About Thriving Home
We, Polly Conner and Rachel Tiemeyer, are moms of three kids each and have lived with our families in Columbia, Missouri for most of our lives now. We launched Thriving Home in January 2012 as an online resource to encourage and equip moms to thrive in the day-to-day challenges of raising a family and managing a home.

If you have a product or service that would be a good fit for our gift guides, we’d love to hear from you. We can’t promise a spot on the guide, but we will consider all submissions and let you know quickly.
We only select gifts that will be good for our audience. If we don’t already own or subscribe to your product, we usually ask that you send us one. This way we can demonstrate it and talk about it more authentically in our Instagram stories.
