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 Necklace

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! 

Ball Drop Earrings

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

JCrew bracelets

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

State Necklaces

Hair and beauty finds:

Revlon one-step Hair Dryer and styler

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.

Beautycounter Charcoal Mask

Tarte brush set. Such an awesome deal!

Toasted eyeshadow palette. Love the neutral colors.

Toasted Eyeshadow

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

Fresh Set

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

Sake Bomb Shampoo

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.

    OMGosh! This just proves I am so susceptible to pretty things. I don’t even drink and I am sooo jonesing for that lovely bottle opener. And those monogram ornaments are so beautiful!

    I love the scents and quality of the candles from https://pfcandleco.com/ and gift those often.

    Is it bad that I am clicking away for myself? after all, don’t they say you should be your own best friend??

    Hey Gina! Something random but related to Christmas time. I just did a search for “Workouts to do while traveling” on your site because I remembered you had several. We are headed to Athens GA for Christmas (from the UK) and I so want to try and keep my game on. You should totally post this link of yours so others like myself can keep trying to move during the holidays! https://fitnessista.com/bodyweight-workouts-you-can-do-anywhere/

    Love you girl and if you are near Athens I’d love to meet up and buy you a coffee!! Cindy xx

    I love the topic of this guide. Seriously. Most of the ones I find are for spouses and kids. That’s great and all but isn’t going to fit into everyone’s situations.
