Christmas Gift Guide for Her 2014










Holiday shopping can be stressful, wait, I mean, it is totally stressful, and if you're like me, you like to wait to the last minute to find any and everyone a gift. Between tying things up at the office before vacation, Christmas parties where you drink too much eggnog and end up embarrassing yourself, and stuffing your face with cookies to justify your holiday weight, putting off buying presents is understandable at this time of year. That is why I have collaborated a list of some of the best, hottest, and most affordable gifts around for HER for you guys to enjoy. You will find the store's links are correlated with each gift item for convenience!









Great For: The fashionista, or maybe someone who needs help with the fashionista if you know what I mean.  First of all, I love that Bauble Bar is being sold at Nordstroms this season, because Nordstroms is easy and has ridiculous customer service making the holidays as painless as possible, plus free shipping, (you will notice a lot of my wish list items are from Nordys)! They come in a few different styles, but my personal favorite is gold. Also, ridiculously affordable. 
Price: $58.00 -- holler.










Great for: Stocking stuffers, coworkers, girlfriends. Everyone obvy needs socks, and these are so adorable that it would actually be wrong to not give as a gift to someone. They come in a few different variety packs and are so cute, they don't even need to be wrapped.
 Price: $30.00 for 3 pairs













Great for: Mom, mother in law, female boss, someone who smells bad? This perfume is so amazing, and although the bottles are small, they are super potent and therefore last a while. They come in a variety because you are suppose to mix them together to create your own scent. It is a heavenly package that has been flying off the shelves this season.
Price: $135 for five scents










Great for: Any human being alive, people with skin. This line is probably, no definitely,  my favorite skincare line. It is so gentle, and so beautifully made with only the finest ingredients. I have had a few of these masks and they smell amazing, and put your spirit and skin into a state of bliss! If you get this from me- don't be surprised if one of the jars is gone and hidden in my stocking as well.
Price: $120 for 3 jars












Great for: Someone who works out, someone who needs to work out, any female alive. Trust me, if she has the XX chromosome, she'll want lulu. This tank is adorable for working out, and cute enough to wear out running errands. Plus, it's one of their less expensive tanks so you look like you spent over $100, and you didn't (cue- mwaha laugh) Tip: Buy a size bigger than you think, Lulu tends to run small.
Price: $64.00











Great for: Stocking stuffer, little sister, anyone who likes make up, anyone is pale. All the fad recently has been contouring the face. This is a perfect new kit that even the best makeup artists use. The colors are great for literally any skin tone, and it's Anastasia, who is the queen of the make up world, well, at least one of them.
Price: $40.00








Great for: Coworkers, stocking stuffers, moms, yourself. Oh, hello adorable pineapple candle that smells wonderful and would look cute anywhere for the spring. This is a great and easy gift that everyone is sure to love, plus, it doubles as a pineapple, like, um precious.
Price: $24-$36 depending on size











Gift: Anthropologie Recipe Box



Great for: The cook, moms (because all moms cook). This is a totally affordable gift that is cute and absolutely useful. If she likes to be in the kitchen, she will love being able to store her favorite recipes in this little handy recipe box, and it comes with recipe cards as well for convenience. Easy shmeazy!
Price: $58.00










Gift: Anthropologie Tack Storage Wine Rack
Great for: The drinker, the wine connoisseur. I love wine, but at this age, there is no way I can keep more than 5 bottles at a time. Partially because I cannot afford to be buying that much wine, and partially because I will drink it if I have it. I would love this as a gift (hint hint) to hang in my kitchen and show off my favorite grapes!
Price: $98.00










Gift: Anthropologie Pearled Treble Ring

Great for: The classy broad, the girlfriend. This is beautiful and timeless and is totally affordable for pearls and real gold. This will make any girl perfectly happy and forget about that one time you accidentally forgot to call her for a week.
Price: $218.00











Gift: Fitbit Exercise Bracelet



Great for: The girl who loves being in shape. Not only does this bracelet have amazing technology, it has a style that is so simple and cute, you can literally wear it everyday without being called a butch. The Fitbit counts your activity, calories burned, as well as how many hours you get of sleep! Tory Burch made an adorable cuff that can slip over it to make it a bit more fashionable friendly as well.
Price: $100.00











Gift: Sony SRSX5 Portable Speaker

Great for: Anyone that wants to jam in their jammies. I am personally asking for this for Christmas because it has gotten amazing reviews, and is so cute and tiny! Plus, who doesn't love music while getting ready, cleaning, and sobbing their eyes out with a glass of chardonnay in the bathtub, (just kidding, sort of). This is a for sure win without having to break the bank. The one I like is red, but they also come in a few additional colors as well.
Price: $160.00










Alright my precious little snow angels, I hope you enjoyed my holiday gift guide and you have the most wonderful Christmas!
Remember kindness is contagious, so do something lovely for someone this season for no reason :)
