Holiday Gift Guide for Her

What to get for the ladies in your life? I always like to try to think of pretty or fun indulgences that she wouldn't think to buy for herself. Here's the holiday gift guide for her:

1. A pretty personalized keychain, so she can always find them floating around that giant bag of hers.
2. A necklace with her initial, to wear every day.
3. The cutest bow scarf, to keep her warm (and stylish!) this winter.
4. Fun wine glasses, for her Friday night (and every night) happy juice.
5. A giant pink thermos, because sometimes you need to be able to take an entire bottle's worth of wine on the go.
6. Thermal leggings, to keep her cozy and cute at home.
7. An indulgent face mask, to keep her face hydrated this winter.
8. A mini wallet, to keep her cards organized in even the smallest of bags.
9. A pretty watch in millennium pink, because we all need a little more millennium pink in our lives.
10. The cutest mug, to help her get her day started on the right foot.
11. A fun water bottle, for easy hydrating during barre class.
12. A pretty phone case, for when she repeatedly drops her phone while trying to take selfies.
13. A fun gold peace sign, to liven up her work desk.
14. A cute pair of earrings that go with everything - I wear mine all the time!

Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Oh hey there, did you realize Mother's Day is right on the horizon? I did oh, about yesterday, and then proceeded to make plans with the special mama in my life and buy a bunch of presents. So now I'm basically set. Unfortunately, Jeff's birthday actually comes before Mother's Day, and I haven't figured out anything for him yet. What can I say, shopping for my mom is so much more fun than trying to figure out what sports memorabilia or country music concert tickets Jeff would want. I'll take looking at jewelry and candles any day!

When it comes to shopping for Mother's Day, I always tend to look for pretty little things that my mom would never think to buy for herself, so she can treat every day like it's Treat Yo Self 2011. Here are a few of my picks (and don't worry Mom, your actual presents are not included - no spoilers!!):

Last Minute Gift Ideas

Have you been procrastinating on your gift buying this year? Every year I find most of my gifts pretty fast, but then stall on the last few and end up in a panic trying to get everything on time. This year I really struggled with Jeff, I finally ordered it and his gift is juuuuuust supposed to make it on time.

Luckily, if you aren't finished shopping yet and don't want to brave the mall, some stores offer free two-day shipping, like Nordstrom, Amazon (if you have Prime that is!), and Zappos. So really, tomorrow is your last day to order if you want to get delivery by Christmas Eve - better jump on it! Here are a few of my last-minute gift ideas:

Bracelet / Card holder / Initial mug / Tech gloves / Patagonia sweater / Clinique sampler kit / Bose speaker / Stuffed rabbit / Candle / Fresh Sugar lip set / Clutch / Slippers / Water bottle

If you're looking for more gift ideas, here are stocking stuffers, gifts for the hostess, gifts for the mixologist, gifts for the couch potato, and gifts for him.

Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers

Stocking stuffers are always my favorite things to find - cute little things are the best! I just got these mini tassel earrings (in pink!) and seriously love them. I have a problem with earrings that are too heavy, but I barely noticed these ones. I also love little beauty items, like my favorite hand cream and lip balm. I also have been weirdly into socks lately - patterns are so much more fun than plain white or black!

Tassel earrings / L'occitane hand creme / I'm Outta Here luggage tag / Glitter phone pocket / Okay sign bag tag / Bow bracelet / Reindeer socks / Kitsch hair ties / Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment / Gold charger cord

Gift Guide: for the Hostess

Oh hey there, looks like it's time for another gift guide! Can you believe we're only two and a half weeks from Christmas?! This week I went after hostess gifts, which are some of my favorites because they're things people don't typically think to buy for themselves or won't splurge on. My favorite of course is this Nest candle, it smells freaking amazing! I tried buying a couple of cheaper Christmas candles but the scents don't permeate the way that the Nest one does - this seriously fills my house!

Pineapple bottle opener / Hello Beautiful mug / Recipe box / Reindeer platter / The Year of Cozy / Puppy calendar / Sugar & Cream set / Cheese knives / Pom Pom blanket / Nest candle

Gift Guide for the Couch Potato

You guys, is it really time for gift guides already?! I actually bought my first gift of the year this week (!!!) so yeah, I guess it is! I've shied away from doing a ton of gift guides in the past because there are so many out there, but they're actually some of my favorite things to read so this year I decided to go for it! If I'm properly motivated, you can expect a gift guide for a different important person in your life every Wednesday through Christmas. So, let's start with the very most important person: the couch potato.

We all have that person in our life who loves staying in and getting cozy - okay, you got me, that person is actually me haha. Give me some comfy slippers, a candle, and a Netflix subscription and I am a happy camper. Lately I've been binging old episodes of Gilmore Girls - is anyone else so excited for the new episodes?! I know what I'll be doing the weekend after Thanksgiving ;)

candle / sleeping mask / slippers / sweater / perfume (my favorite to wear!!) / romper / necklace / slipper socks / bath salts
