Holiday Shopping Shouldn’t Be Complicated

Holiday Shopping

On a stress scale of 1 to 10, holiday shopping for everyone on my list is a strong 12. The holidays can be so exciting that sometimes we can forget how quickly the gift-giving season comes and goes. Sometimes it can be just as stressful to shop for 1 family member as it can be to shop for 15! I’ve picked out a handful of gifts on my list that are sure to make any girl happy and are going on my wishlist. Whether you’re shopping for your mom, your grandma or the girl who has everything, there’s a gift for everyone on this list!

BEAUTY & FASHION QUEEN

Whether you’re shopping for your roommate who basically shares her closet with you, or your bestie who spends hours sitting on the couch watching makeup tutorials, there here are a few things under $50.

• Benefit Brows Kit - ULTA
  I have a few friends who have this and swear by it. I’ve looked at so many different products, but with this kit you don’t have to sacrifice quality with a more affordable price! Makeup is usually a safe gift to buy for any girl, and this product will not disappoint.
• Makeup Brush Holder - Anthropologie
• Antique Inspired Buckle Belt - Shop Chic Galleria
  I think it’s really underestimated how much a belt can do for an outfit. This belt is can be dressed up or down, and is a perfect addition to any girl’s closet. The best part is, it’s under $15!
• Glow for a Cause Body Butter - Glow for a Cause

OFFICE EXTRAORDINAIRE

We all have that busy bee in our lives who basically lives at their job. Every time you look at inspiration for your work space, she’s your go-to. Or maybe it’s someone who just likes to have a fully functional desk that doesn’t lack style! Here are some ideas for the girl boss in your life:

• Violet Floral Stationery - Rifle Paper Co.
  A good stationary set is something every girl needs, but may not be something that we purchase for ourselves. It’s a great gift, and something you can be sure will be used. I love RPC and all of their designs and want almost one of everything, but there’s something for so many different personalities!
• Life Planner - Erin Condren
  I’ve had two of these and will probably never buy another brand planner. This is the perfect gift for someone who lives for organization, or someone who needs some inspiration to become organized. The covers are interchangeable, and you can even make your own!
• Marble Notepad - Shop Chic Galleria
  If you’re anything like me, loose-leaf paper just doesn’t cut it anymore. This notepad is not only huge, but is the perfect desk accessory. What more could you ask for in a notepad!?
• Business Card Case - Shop Chic Galleria
  This is the perfect gift to celebrate a new job, or help your mom feel a little more organized. These cases fit perfectly in a clutch, or in your car’s console. It’s as trendy as it is functional!

TECH GEEK

And finally.. for the lover of all things technical! There are tons of options besides a brand new phone, and they’re sure to make anyone who takes their tech seriously happy this this holiday season.

• USB Tassel Keychain - Anthropologie
  If I had a penny for every jump drive i’ve ever lost, I would have a lot of pennies. I would honestly settle for just a tassel keychain, until I found one that doubles as a USB drive. You never know when you need a USB drive, but I know that whenever I do need one, I can’t find one. It’s perfect for your keys or even to put on your backpack!
• Rechargeable Battery - Kate Spade
  Speaking of things I don’t have when I need them, battery on my phone is first on the list! Whether you forgot to charge your phone the night before, or because you’ve been spending hours on your phone, a portable battery is a necessity!
• Marble Phone Case - Shop Chic Galleria
  Marble anything is gonna make me happy, but a marble phone case has been on my list for a long time. No matter how many you have, you can always appreciate one more and it’s money well spent. This is the perfect case that’s not too bulky, but still protects your phone. Maybe you can’t buy a new phone, but you can always buy them a case if you know they’re getting one!

Holiday shopping for your friends and family really shouldn’t be stressful. I love giving gifts as much as I like getting them, and getting a present for someone important to you should be fun! Whether you choose something on this list, or some of these items give you some inspiration, I hope it minimizes your holiday season to do list. What are some gifts you’re asking for this year?
