2017 Holiday Gift Guide: for your BFF

Hey hey! Hope you’re having a wonderful morning. We’re back from a quick trip to Orlando – I’ll share some pics soon. We took the girls on the Polar Express and it was fantastic – but in the meantime, I wanted to share some more gift ideas for those of us still making it through our Christmas list. Thankfully I’m pretty much done, but I still have a few things to pick up. And then there’s the great wrapping party…

These are some ideas for your best friend. I feel like they’re the easiest to shop for since you know them so well, but it’s also fun to choose some unexpected treasures. This is one of those gift guides that can also double as a wish list for yourself! If your hubby or partner has been pestering you for ideas, you can just send them this little link and there ya go.

Best Friend Gift Guide:

Jewelry:

Monogram pendant necklace. Love the delicate style of this one!

Tassel fringe earrings or these shoulder duster earrings. Both on-trend and perfect for the holiday season.

Festive ball drop earrings. I love these for New Years! 

Bracelets that look pricey, but aren’t at all.

A dainty necklace to remind her of home (I love these cactus ones, and these state ones are super cute)

Hair and beauty finds:

Revlon Style One-step hair dryer and styler. Ok, so I’ve been using this hairdryer for a couple of months now, and am obsessed with it. My hair is super long and thick, so it takes 18 years to dry it. I’ll usually take off most of the moisture with a regular hairdryer (I’ll let it air dry for a few hours) and use this one to smooth and style. I use it on the girls’ hair and it is so much faster than a regular blow-dryer. The reviews online are insane for good reason! It’s next level.

Beautycounter charcoal mask and lipgloss. Thankfully, clean beauty products are becoming more mainstream. I’ve been a Beautycounter fan for years, and these are two of the best products to try out the line.

Tarte brush set. Such an awesome deal!

Toasted eyeshadow palette. Love the neutral colors.

Fresh Best of Beauty Bundle. So many awesome finds here.

Drybar Sake Bomb Shampoo and Conditioner. While it’s not as good as going to a *real* Drybar, these smell amaaaaazing.

Everything you need for perfect brows. Anastasia ALL THE WAY.

Supermud set. 

Kitchen fun and house stuff:

Eyelashes gold coffee mug

Succulent Terrarium. You could also DIY on the cheap.

A Diptique candle or Voluspa mini tin candles.

Pour-over coffee maker + your favorite local coffee. 

The perfect cheese board. This is so classic and lovely!

Fashion gifts:

A trendy pom-pom sweater

This Hanukkah sweater or this wine sweater (<— I totally bought this one and wear it a little too often.)

Stitch Fix gift card! <— If you’ve been wanting to try Stitch Fix, this is the perfect chance. They’re waiving the styling fee for my readers so you can try out the service for free.

Super soft slippers

Under $30:

Capri candle

Monogram ornament

A gorgeous addition to the bar cart

Rose iPhone case or pop socket

Fun sleep mask. This is so cute!

kate spade mini stud earrings. Great price, too.

Funny wine glass. This makes me laugh every time I see it.

Mantraband

Champagne bears cocktail kit

So, tell me friends: what’s on your personal wish list this year? What are you gifting your BFF this holiday season?
