Gift Ideas For Her

Written by Post Comment

'Tis the season to spend all of your money! Joking, but not joking....
Christmas is my favorite time of the year, not because of the presents, but simply because it is the time for family, friends, and togetherness. I love showing my appreciation for my loved ones with thoughtful gifts.  If you have a special lady in your life, whether that be a significant other, a mother, an aunt, a sister, and so on and so forth, and don't know what to get her, here are a few gift ideas that you can't go wrong with this holiday season. I know I would love to see any of these presents under my tree!

Sephora

Call me basic, but what girl doesn't like Sephora??! From makeup, fragrances, skincare, and more! It is the one-stop shop for all things beauty for me. Why I say that this is a great place to shop for any woman in your life is because it has such a variety of different products that you are bound to find something perfect for that special someone. I just want to put out some tips on shopping here because I understand how overwhelming a store like this can be. First and foremost, I personally hate shopping here in person. It is always packed with girls getting lost in all the makeup they want, dads/boyfriends standing in the way holding shopping bags, and workers scurrying around trying to help everyone. So yes, I actually never shop here in person, so I can only imagine how crazy it is during this time of year. I always recommend to everyone to shop online. Trust me, your sanity will thank me. It is much easier to sit back in the comfort of your own home and do all the shopping from there. 

 Sephora's website is always on point and up to date, especially during this season, so watch out for new deals and seasonal items. I know that brands like Tarte is always coming out with new holiday collections, which are always on my Christmas lists! These holiday collections tend to sell out and are limited from season to season, so keep that in mind.

 Shopping at Sephora online also allows you to pick three free samples of your choice at checkout, which is yet another plus! They could be used as stocking stuffers or in a gift basket!

 - Always always always look for a coupon code!!!! -
Sephora is ALWAYS putting out coupon codes, so I encourage you to utilize them!
What's so lovely about shopping online at Sephora is that with every order, you can use a coupon code. Especially during the holidays, they put out codes that come with gift bags with even more samples! I also use these as smaller gifts and stocking stuffers.
I always check RetailMeNot for these coupon codes!

 If you are a Sephora card holding member, you are more likely to be offered more deals and coupon codes, so definitely take advantage of that and sign up!  

Stackable Bracelets

Is it just me, or is this still everyone's obsession? I appreciate anyone with a good stack of bracelet/watch/bangle combo. A good way to compliment different watches and arm candy is mixing and matching different ones together to create one's own original look. From one bold watch paired with a delicate contrasting band, layering is still definitely in. I know that Alex and Ani and Pandora bracelets are still very popular, but here are a few other brands at different price points that you can get to switch it up! 

 (Hover over for links)

 Aldo Cyrilla Stacking Bracelets (Sold on ASOS.com)
$17

 Lucky Brand Pebble Bracelet Stack
$23.40

 Bauble Bar Sojourn Bracelet Set
$52

 Kendra Scott Tatum Stacking Bracelets (in Gray Metallic)
 $110

 I also recommend shopping on places like Etsy, which has a large variety of unique and beautiful bracelets for such a low price! I got some of mine there for as low as $7!

 Here is how I would pair my bracelets with my watch. From left to right, I am wearing my rose gold locket Michael Kors bracelet, three Alex and Ani bangles, my rose gold MK watch, and a bracelet my sister got for me from a brand called Yesah (which is having a Christmas sale; 50% off using the code Santa50) !

Anything Warm and Cozy

The temperatures are dropping and the big furry blankets are coming out. Am I the only weird who appreciates fuzzy socks and pajamas as a Christmas present? Loungewear and snuggly clothes, in my opinion, is a no-brainer, especially when you get weather like we do here in Jersey. Even things like gloves, hats, and scarves are appreciated because it is a gift that keeps on giving! Both thoughtful, and functional. I have also seen places like K-mart sell gorgeous sets for the holidays as well. There were mugs and hot chocolate sets, tea sets, and fuzzy pajama sets. Putting on my new fuzzy pj's, socks and drinking hot chocolate while watching a movie is my favorite thing to do on Christmas day!


Homemade Gift Basket


"Gift baskets are amazing ---. Gift baskets are the essence of class and fanciness. They are the ultimate present that a person can receive." 
-Michael Scott
If you love 'The Office' as much as I do, you'd appreciate this very relevant quote! Hehe.
I love making gift baskets because it shows the thoughtfulness you put into every single item you choose to put in the basket. Like their favorite candle or lipstick! Easy, cheap, and you can make it your very own.
Some items you can put into your basket can be:
  1. Mini fragrances
  2. Face masks
  3. Essential oils
  4. Nail polish
  5. Snacks and munchies
  6. Victorias secret panties
  7. Stuffed animal
  8. Wine (extra points for this!)
  9. Lipstick
  10. Socks
  11. Bath bombs 
Just to name a few things! Just have fun with it and be thoughtful, it will be appreciated!

A Special Memory

I think giving someone the gift of a special memory that they will never forget is one of the greatest gifts of all. Instead of a tangible gift, I think doing something special really shows how much you appreciate someone and it shows the extra mile you went to make sure of that. Whether that be taking them for a trip out of town, or just doing something out of your comfort zones, it's about making memories. Last year, I bought my Boyfriend and I tickets to our very first New York Knicks game, and it was an unforgettable feeling. Seeing his face light up when he got the tickets filled my heart more than anything else in the world! To see his smile throughout the whole game and to have that experience was priceless. It will sure to impress and have a lasting impression on your special someone.

I hope these gift ideas were helpful and I hope everyone a safe, warm, and beautiful holiday! Cheers!
