Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide + Pre-Black Friday Deals!

Last week I talked about my Christmas shopping tips and today I wanted to move to something a bit more fun – my first Christmas gift guide! Today’s gift guide is some things I have and love that would make great gifts, and things I would LOVE to get – realistic or not 🙂

Christmas Gift Guide

Hair & Makeup

Last year I got this Urban Decay palette for Christmas – thanks little bro! – and it’s so versatile! I can wear the shades for daytime and then add some more dimension for nights. I think makeup is a fun gift to give (and get) because you can get something that you might not necessarily need. For example – I don’t wear highlighter everyday to work, but it’s fun to wear if I’m going out and a great gift! Here are some fun items below at varying price points – I think all of them would make a great gift!

Highlighter: under $25 // under $50 – have and LOVE this one! // under $75

Eyeshadow palettes: under $25 // under $50 // under $75

Fun hair stuff: Oribe Texture Spray (expensive so it’s a great gift! This stuff smells sooooo good) // Fun hair ties // Gold hair pin

Clothes & Accessories

Obviously I love clothes – duh! – and I love getting fun pieces for Christmas. Clothes can be hard to give unless you know the recipient and their style pretty well. It can also be stressful to pick sizing for people – so that’s why there are so many cute accessories! The cold doesn’t end with Christmas so there’s still lots of time to rock cute scarves and hats.

Scarves: under $25 // under $50 // TOTAL splurge!

Hats: under $30 // under $50 // under $75

Pullovers & Vests: fuzzy vest (LOVE!)// fuzzy zip-up jacket! // snap pullover // quilted pullover

Sweaters: ruffle sleeves (I have a problem….) // oversized (as seen on literally EVERY blogger) // pearl detail

Bags: leopard clutch // pink crossbody // If we win the lottery tomorrow I want this bag. Or this one.

At Home

Does decorating ever stop? I don’t think so! We might have everything we need but there are still so many things I want for around the house. It’s becoming a bit of a problem…I might not share as much of the home stuff on Instagram but trust me – there’s lots of work going on! (I’ll share some more home updates after we get through the holidays, I promise!)

For entertaining: marble tray // moscow mule glasses

Decor: Lantern (I want a huge one for my front step!) // letter board // gold letter holder (my counter is a dumping ground for mail!)

Fun books: Pizzazerie // Cravings // Ina Garten: Make it Ahead

Random fun: fur throw // marble tumbler// glass water bottle //gingham throw blanket
