Helping women love what they wear on a budget

My Favorite Things Gift Guide

November 29, 2018 by Katie Haller

It’s time for my last gift guide of the season.  I did one for Teacher gifts, Toddler gifts and today I’m talking about gifts for her.  Nothing against the guys, but I’m horrible on buying guy gifts.  For girls, I just think of what I would like for myself.  That’s why for today’s post, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite things.  This is a list of things that I either use daily or really want to buy for myself. 

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

Sensational Polish to Gel Transformer $23.99
I do not have this set yet, but it’s defiantly on my wish list.  One of my friends at work has been using it and she loves it.  I always do my nails at home and this gel set gives your nails that gel finish that makes it look like you just left the nail salon. 

Urban Decay Naked2 Pallet $29.00
I got this eye shadow pallet a couple years ago for Christmas and I love it.  I think if you’re going to give someone makeup, this is the perfect makeup gift.  It’s a good quality of eye shadow and the colors work with almost any skin tone. 

Slippers $29.37
Who doesn’t love a nice pair of house slippers.  I’m in bare feet most of the year, but in the winter I love being able to slip into a pair of slippers to wear around the house.

Leather Earrings $19.00
This is a repeat from my teacher gift guide, but I am so obsessed with my leather earrings that I just had to add them again.  They are so practical to wear all the time.  I personally think that they make the perfect gift.

My Little Steamer Go Mini $19.99
I bought a steamer this year and it’s my favorite!  I hate ironing and I avoid it at all cost.  A steamer keeps your clothes looking nice and wrinkle free without dragging out a giant ironing table.  Mine is small enough to use a travel steamer as well. It heats up fast and doesn’t spit out water like other steamers, plus it’s a great price! 
Alphabet Coffee Mug $8.00
Pottery Barn has the cutest monogram coffee mugs.  They are very affordable and make a great gift.  I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy one for myself this year, since I’ve been wanting a “K” mug for a very long time.

Knit Blanket $17.99
I love getting and giving blankets as gifts.  A nice throw blanket is always good to have.

Pajama Pants $38.00
Every year I tell my mom that all I want for Christmas are jammy bottoms.  That’s all I wear in the winter to bed.  My favorite pair is from PinkBlush.  I wear them daily.

Hodded Cardigan $38.00 
This PinkBlush cardigan is my favorite and most warn item in the closet.  It’s so cozy and I feel like I’m wearing my bathrobe when I wear it.  I get so many complements when I wear it.  I think it would make a great gift.

Winter pom pom hat $16.99
This is on my list, because I really need one, but I also think it would make a great gift.  Any kind of winter accessories always make great Christmas gifts.

Happy Christmas shopping everyone!
