And just like that, we’ve arrived at another holiday season! As I was putting this Holiday Gift Guide together, it felt like I just created one yesterday for last Christmas. I always look forward to making these gift guides, mostly because I love to gift a lot of the items on this list (both to my loved ones and also to myself). ;)

Holiday Gift Guide 2015
December 14, 2015
Whenever the holidays roll around, I always convince myself that I have more time to shop than I actually do. Since I’ll be hopping on a plane to Maine in 4 days and counting, I need to get all my last-minute shopping in this week (cue the panic!). If you’re a procrastinator like me, here’s a little holiday gift guide of my favorite gifts to give (… or receive. Hint hint.) this year!
- Black satin cat eye mask by NaomiLingerie: This adorable satin and cotton kitty eye mask is something I’ve had my eye on for a long time. It would make the perfect gift for any friend who loves sleep!
- Monday to Sunday Bamboo Muslin Face Cloths by Aurelia Probiotics: I’ve really been into hot cloth cleansing recently, and this little Monday-to-Sunday muslin face cloth set is perfection – each one is tied up in a little pink bow!
- One-Step Camellia Cleansing Oil by Tatcha: Tatcha’s One-Step Camellia Cleansing Oil was made to go hand-in-hand with the muslin face cloth set. Once you start hot cloth cleansing, you’ll never go back!
- Rosy Outlook 2016 Planner by ban.do: Start the new year off on the right foot with this cute little 17-month agenda from ban.do. It comes complete with fun stickers, an interior pocket, and is just the right size to slip into a purse. For the friend who is always forgetting her appointments!
- Evening Rose Body Cream by AERIN: This body cream by AERIN (an offshoot brand of Esteé Lauder) smells just about good enough to eat! A luxurious treat for the woman who needs a little pampering!
- Power Couple Duo: Total Transformation Kit by Sunday Riley: I recently picked up this kit as a Christmas present to myself and I cannot stop singing its praises. Even after only a few uses, my skin is like glass. The price for both products is unbeatable, too!
- Showstopper Clay Palette by Tarte: A gorgeous palette that includes six shadows, a full-size blush, and a highlighter/bronzer duo, encased in packaging so beautiful that it’s begging to sit on any makeup lover’s vanity.
- Small Carryall Tote by Cuyana: An absolutely delicious, buttery leather tote that would look great on the arm of that special lady. Add a gold foil monogram for a sweet, personalized touch.
- The Stowaway Kit by Stowaway Cosmetics: A cosmetics brand built for the modern woman on the move, Stowaway is makeup you love in sizes you can carry AND finish! The perfect gift for the girl-on-the-go!
Holiday Gift Guide 2014: For Her
December 1, 2014
In keeping with tradition, I decided to put together another little holiday gift guide this year. This gift guide is specifically for the wonderful ladies in your life – your mom, grandma, sister, or best friend. Many of these items are also on my Christmas wishlist (hint hint)! ;)
- Thin gold stacking rings: I always love supporting local artisans, and these thin 14k gold stacking rings are handmade in Hallowell, Maine. Adorn her digits with these whisper-thin gold rings.
- Frends ‘Taylor’ headphones: She will be the most stylish lady on the subway with these white leather and rose gold headphones.
- Kate Spade Saturday ‘The Mini A Satchel’ in Blush: She will get TONS of compliments on this adorably petite and ladylike satchel. Guaranteed.
- Philosophy ‘Pure Grace’ rollerball: The perfect size to slip into her Mini A Satchel, this rollerball is fresh and feminine (and the only scent I wear).
- Diptyque votive candle set: Diptyque candles are known for their complex, feminine, and sophisticated scents. Give her an upgrade from those cloying, Christmas-scented candles and buy her this set of three.
- Kate Spade ‘Metro’ watch: I actually already own this watch and I’m obsessed with its classic blush band and mother-of-pearl dial. It seriously goes with everything!
- West Elm faux Mongolian lamb throw: She will love the touch of glam that this luxe throw adds to her home decor.
- Blue Apron gift delivery: There’s no greater gift than the gift of good food. We’ve been enjoying Blue Apron meals for a few months and these restaurant-quality meals would make a wonderful gift for the budding chef.
What’s on your wish list this year?
