2017 CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

December is well underway and it is gift giving time! I’ve been so blessed these past few months, that I am excited to give to others near and dear to my heart. Gift giving is a tricky business. Some people are easy to shop for, while others have you procrastinating until the very last minute. It becomes quite the common thing to take the easy way out and simply give a giftcard. I like receiving giftcards, but I find it more enjoyable to find unique gifts tailored to that person. I have quite a few males in the family, so the website The Grommet is a great source to give you ideas on how to shop for those special males in your life. You can also shop directly from their site. If you’re like me and you are a bit last minute, then there’s still hope to find some amazing gifts. The 2017 Gift guide for her includes a list of 7 of my favorites for this Christmas season. 

Morphe Set 502_9 Vegan Brushes // Morphe is becoming one of my favorite brands. I use the Jaclyn Hill limited edition eyeshadow palette and I promise I will never need another palette in life! It’s that great. Once I purchased the eyeshadows, I began hearing about how marvelous the brushes are. Now of course some are better than others depending upon your needs, but the price point is super reasonable and the quality is worth it.

Clarisonic Smart Profile Uplift // I’m gonna admit something. In the beginning, I felt that the original Clarisonic was a bit overrated. But once I saw a demonstration of the Smart Profile Uplift, I was singing a different tune. Yes, this is a bit on the pricey side, but think of the skincare benefits! You essentially have your own facial spa (on demand) to rejuvenate your skin.

Serene House Cool Mist Cosmos Electric Aromatherapy Diffuser // If you’ve ever walked into someone’s house and saw this cool device, you’d wonder what it is and have a few guesses. Oils have become increasingly poplar in the last few years and I personally use things like peppermint and tea tre oil daily. Well the marvelous thing about this diffuser, is that you can use oils to fill the air in your space for that calming effect. Some people need want to breath better while others like a nice jasmine scent to help them fall asleep. You can’t go wrong with this gift.

Women’s Henry London ‘Finchley’ Round Mesh Strap Watch // I came across the Henry London brand on Instagram and fell in love. They carry such a variety of styles that you wouldn’t have a hard time finding something for yourself or any of your friends. I like that you can dress this watch up or down and it still looks chic.

Women’s J.crew Dreamy Stripe Pajamas // Pajamas are fun! Nuff said. No, seriously, how many friends or family are walking around in mix-match pajamas? Do them a favor and buy a pajamas set that sends them to bed in style.

Kate Spade New York Large 17-Month Agenda // As the year comes to a close, I get super excited to break open several (yes, several) planners to prepare for the upcoming year. Although I own a stationery brand (LivelyPlanner), I like supporting other fellow stationery lovers. That is the beauty of planning and organizing your life. You can use a blog planner for your content planning, a day planner for the everyday struggle, and a weekly planner to map out your business.

Stella McCartney stella // On a Sephora run the other day, I stopped to smell the Stella fragrance and loved it! There are nice subtle hints of feminine freesia and fresh mandarin. She has other similar scents as well, so I encourage you to try them out. 

I hope my 2017 christmas gift guide gave you some ideas. So, what are you going to get your friends, family, or yourself this holiday season?

HAPPY SHOPPING!
