Holiday Gift Guide …….Because,Why not?

Dec 8

I have a confession to make. When it comes to gift-giving, I’m generally much more of a “let me know how much I owe you” kind of person than I am the mastermind behind unique, creative gifts.

Since 2020 has been the year of the unexpected, I’m switching it up. 2020 is the year that I actually started thinking about Christmas gifts BEFORE Thanksgiving (mostly because my sisters have been texting about Christmas gifts since August, but that’s beside the point:)).

Over the past couple of months, I started keeping notes in my phone when I thought of something and here we are. A little skincare, a little small business love, a little random.

Now, I’ll admit….We tend to gift things that WE want and this list is no exception, but hopefully, you’ll be able to snag a few of these ideas for the special ladies in your life. (Yes, this list is definitely female-focused because, well, that’s how I think. No offense to the men out there. Please, if you have great gift ideas for men, drop them in the comments!! I’d love to pass them on:))

Here we go!!!

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask I was recently introduced to this product and now it is definitely my 2020 Gift of the Year! I’m going Oprah on this one. Everyone gets a lip mask.
Statement Clay Earrings. And now that you read that, ads for clay earrings will continue to pop up on ALL of your social media accounts. Not sorry. ClaybySteph is definitely my fav. She makes adorable earrings that are great for all occasions. Plus, you’re supporting small. Win, win.
Avene Thermal Spring Water Perfect for ALL skin types! I love spraying this on after my sunscreen before I apply my makeup. So simple but yet makes you feel so fancy.
Beauty Blender After 15 years of applying makeup with my fingertips, I decided to grow up and make the transition and will never turn back. Great stocking stuffer.
Candle subscription. It’s crazy the difference a candle can make for your home. I’ve recently started to love candles and came across this great monthly subscription from Mobaak Aromatherapy Shoppe!
Charcoal Masks. For years, my teenage patients have been asking about charcoal masks. I never understood the hype until I actually tried them myself. My two favs are definitely BeautyCounter Charcoal Mask and Revision Black Mask . Treat yo self and your loved ones.
Wristlet Keychain What can I say. I lose my keys a lot. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Bagnet These are a staple gift for me. One day, we will be dining out again and it’ll come in handy!
Coola LipLux Trio Add a fun pop of color into your lip sun protection.
Macrame Coasters Perfect for the new homeowner this holiday season! Not a new homeowner but love macrame? Be sure to check out The Knotted Cat on Etsy!!
Jane Iredale PureLash Extender I’ve used Latisse for several years and am amazed by this much more budget-friendly option!!
Wine Coaster Anyone can gift a bottle of wine but you can go the extra mile by adding in this wine coaster! Ever since we got white countertops, I’ve turned into a coaster freak and this does NOT disappoint!
Milk Frother I visited one of my best friends a few months ago, and she had this amazing Espresso Machine. I didn’t know how much I liked froth until then. So, in my much more frugal fashion, I got this milk frother! Perfect for the coffee lover in your life.
Yeti Mug I’m not a mom, but I’ve heard most moms haven’t had a hot cup of coffee since their child was born. This is a life-saver for those of us that like our coffee hot! Treat all of those hardworking mamas out there.
Jewelry Dish I love this for all of my “frequently worn” jewelry.
