Last year I wrote a post about good holiday gifts. I have started to collect some of my favorites so far this year to add to that collection. I still support all the gifts I mentioned last year but wanted to add a few more before we get to the holiday season to get you thinking early!
Jewelry
Little Words Project Bracelets: I found this company through Revolve, and decided to explore their website. Little Words Project is a company that inspires kind words that are meant to be passed forward, similar to the The Giving Keys company. I wanted bracelets that were bright and happy with reminders. You can get ones that are pre-made or you can make custom ones! They are so cute and great gifts for a reasonable price. You can make a $30 bracelet feel special with your words. What is better than that?
Chill Necklace: Clearly I am really into jewelry that says something these days... because I love this necklace my friend, Martha, gave me. Funny story, but at the beginning of the year I sent her an instagram ad for this necklace saying "oh man I need this", well a few months later on my birthday, I opened the necklace from her! HAHA - now that is a great way to gift someone perfectly. Buy it right then when they hint it or make a comment, and keep it till their birthday or a special occasion!
Studs: As Nashville grows, we get more stores. I have followed and been a fan of Studs. I have bought earrings from them online, but this year we got a store in Nashville (5th and Broadway downtown). I have been there quite a bit this year. They have the best earring selection that are good quality. If you have multiple piercings, this is the place. You buy one earring at a time, so you can mix and match. If you need your ears pierced, GO THERE!!! Most piercings you need to keep the earring in for 6 months... well at Studs you can pick cool earrings so you don't get tired of them! You can also make an appointment to switch it out! WAY better than Claire's! I have so many of their earrings, I can't pick a favorite but the best part is that I don't have to buy a pair, I only buy singles and mix it up on each ear!
Shoes
On Sneakers have been a favorite of mine for a while. I love all the colors and how light weight they are! The Cloud X style is currently my favorite this year. A few styles also pack very well! If you need new tennis shoes for exercise or everyday, look no further!
I love my golden goose sneakers and they will still be my favorites but back before I could afford Golden Goose, my OGs were Converse. This year, I came across the Converse platform high tops... I'm obsessed. They look good with everything and add height. And yes, they are comfortable! However, they do get dirty fast being white!
I live in comfort, that is the way I prefer. Sneakers and slides are my GO TO. I've always loved Freedom Moses slides compared to Birkenstock or any other brand. This year I switched out my black ones to a fun pattern to add some character. They are so comfortable!
Pajamas
My gift guru friend, Jennifer, gave me new pajamas for my birthday. Well, let me tell you... BEST EVER! Forget Eberjey, Lunya wins. They are WASHABLE silk. They are light weight (because I get hot at night) and honestly they are so cute, I'd wear them outside the house as an outfit. OOPS. Jennifer got me the shorts set and I AM IN LOVE! This gift to me will be a gift I give others for the holidays! If you have a sister or mother, just do it - promise.
Sunscreen
I prefer not to wear makeup on a daily basis, and I am always looking for the best "tinted moisturizer" that gives me a great "fresh" look. I recently started using SuperGoop! Glowscreen.
Not only does it have SPF 40 but is also packed with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide, which is GOOD! It gives a shimmer glow to your face so you don't need makeup. You know I love a fresh, dewy, bronzed skin - and this does that! I still love my SkinPharm Tinted Sunscreen as a daily wear when no makeup is necessary but now I go back and forth with this new Glowscreen!
My new everyday purse is a splurge but so worth it. It holds just enough inside, is sleek looking and can go day to night. I splurge on bags and shoes, those are my two favorite things to splurge on because they can last a lifetime! You can even gift them to your daughter or granddaughter one day :) Or sell them for a good price :) The Givenchy Antigona Small Leather Bag is my new favorite this year as far as an everyday, every occasion purse.
And lastly, the Hughlarious mugs. Who doesn't love a good mug? And who doesn't want to wakeup every morning and get the smile of HUGH! DUH.
Hope these items help you pick a gift for your friends, family, co-workers or anyone! More to come!!
