GIFTING: What and where

The holidays are HERE and hopefully so are the gifts you ordered for everyone on cyber Monday. If not, this is for you my beautiful procrastinators! I think we can all agree when I say the holidays are great but so stressful. Nothing's worse than being the worst gift giver at a white elephant party, boo. I want to share a few gift ideas and the best places to get them if you're drawing a "gifting" blank! 
​

​beauty AND SPA

Bath Salt / bombs | Defrizz-ing towels + Hair Mask | Face Masks  ​

​This is perfect for your "girls only" white elephants parties. You know every girl loves a self care night every now and again! Here you come to the rescue with an assortment of face masks, spa kits, and candles.

​My advice- Think of a luxury you personally like and take yourself to Target, Ulta, or Sephora where they have the best beauty kits that cater to all. 
​

AlCOHOL LOVERS​

Bar Cart Recipe Book | Cocktail Mixology Set | Bottle with Accessories/ Fancy Glasses ​

This is an easy crowd–pleaser (know your audience tho cause this might not work for the typical grandparent!). For those without a bar cart, bar related things are still great to pull out for gatherings and dinner parties. It's nice to add a thoughtful touch to things. An example: If you're getting a bottle, include two cute glasses. This gift can also have a funny side, like a wine holder for the shower or cute bottle stoppers and corks. 
​

HOME AND WELLNESS
​

Himalayan Salt Lamp | Oil Diffuser | Coffee Table Books 

This another good unisex option because who doesn't want to live in a calming sanctuary?? Men may not vocally admit it but you know they love a good candle and mood lighting. These are great gifts that people love to receive so they don't have to buy it for themselves- especially those really cute but, kinda useless coffee table books.
​

Best places to shop
​

TARGET, MARSHALLS, TJ MAXX, HOME GOODS, AMAZON

Get ready for lines but also that's basically everywhere this time of year. Amazon's the perfect solution if time permits. If not, make sure your phones charged and stand in line with your perfectly picked out gifts that everyone will love. These places have the sections with packaged kits that are inexpensive. Or skip the kit and you'll still find a great gift under your $25 limit (thank god for gift limits!!).
​

​Wrap up your useful, crowd pleasing gifts in festive wrapping or a bag with glittery tissue paper and you're good to go! Another thing to cross off the list and a step closer to relaxing. Happy holidays everyone!
