2017 Holiday Gift Guide
December 17, 2017 -
The holiday season is officially here and it’s time to start thinking about giving. While this time of year is about so much more than material goods, I still think it’s really fun to pick out gifts for friends and family. Whether you’re shopping for your annual gift exchange with friends or deciding what to get for a loved one, sometimes it can be really tricky to come up with the perfect gift. Lucky for you, I’ve already done all of the hard work and have created a gift guide for a few types of people that you might know. All of these gifts range in prices, so there is definitely something in here for everyone!
The Foodie
If you’re lucky enough to be best friends with someone who loves food and cooking, you already know all of the perks. Cookbooks, spice sets and subscription boxes are all great gifts for budding chefs… and maybe if you’re lucky they’ll share!
Gjelina Cookbook // Chuck’s Pantry Gift Crate // Marble + Wood Cutting Board // Farm to People Gift Bundles // Spice Block Set // Urban Agriculture Grow Kit
The Beauty Guru
If you know someone who is obsessed with makeup and skincare, don’t be shy to go for the obvious! Personally, makeup isn’t always the first thing that I want to invest my own money in, so whenever I recieve it as a gift I really appreciate it.
Laura Mercier Face Illuminator Powder // Nars Sculpting Multiple Duo // Chance Eau Tendre // Glossier Cloud Paint // YSL Babydoll Mascara // Tartelette Toasted Eyeshadow Palette
The Book Worm
Know anyone that would give anything to curl up on the couch for the afternoon and enjoy a book and a cup of tea? Me too. Treat your book loving friend to a brand new book (my all time fav is Unfiltered by Lily Collins), and a cozy blanket, tea and a candle, so that they can set up the perfect reading environment.
Unfiltered // Diptyque ‘Baies’ Scented Candle // Fuzzy Socks // Mug // Mini Chevron Cotton Throw
The Lazy Friend
I’m sure that all of us can agree on the fact that sometimes lazy days are just what we need. Try putting together a gift baset with some comfy pj’s, slippers, blankets, and more so your friend can enjoy the ultimate lazy day!
Sugarfina Bento Box // JCrew Flannel Pajama Set // Herbivore Botanicals ‘Calm’ Bath Salts // Grey Throw// Ugg Cozy Cable Slippers // Google Home
The Gym Addict
Everybody has that one friend who can’t skip a day at the gym. For the perfect gift, pick up some gym equipment that is both cute and functional. Additionally, if you happen to live in the New York area, purchase a ClassPass membership trial for a friend. Starting at just $9, this is the perfect way to explore all of the studios and fitness classes that New York has to offer. For anyone that is obsessed with the gym, this really is the gift that keeps on giving!
Fitbit // Swell Water Bottle // Namastay Mat // ClassPass // Free To Be Bag
The Trendy Friend
We all have that one friend who always looks effortlessly chic, and sometimes shopping for them feels impossible! Resorting to jewelry and trendy accessories is always a safe bet, and you can find some really cute things at various price points.
