We all procrastinate. It happens to the best of us. Maybe you were waiting for the perfect gift to hit you right in the face, and it just, um, hasn’t yet. Maybe your sister/mother/brother/aunt/acquaintance is just super difficult to shop for. Whatever the case, this guide is sure to get the gift juices flowing and at least give you some inspiration for the season.
For Her
Madewell Florence Drawstring Crossbody Bag in Velvet
This Madewell velvet drawstring bag is perfect for the fashionista in your life. You can order it in multiple colors – gray, blush – but I personally think this color is the richest and the perfect tone for Christmas. Use the code VERYMERRY for 25% off this bag!
Tarot Card Brass Jewelry Holder
This dainty catch-all dish is such a steal! I’ve been into tarot cards lately, so this peaks my interest, but even if your giftee isn’t into the whole card scene, it’s a beautiful piece for any room of the house.
Love LED Neon Sign
Neon signs are all the rage right now, and this one’s a great price from Urban Outfitters! It’s elegant and fairly neutral, so it would complement almost any color scheme.
Madewell Star Drop Earrings
These are the most fantastic festive earrings!! Very lightweight and very chic.
Baublebar Annisa Gem Earrings
These refined gems would look great with any hair color – sandy blonde to rich, dark tones. They’re casual to toss on with a sweater outfit and dressy enough to wear for an New Year’s celebration! Can you say versatile?
For Him
Wilsons Leather Cognac Weekender
This weekender is perfect for that special man in your life! High quality leather means it’ll last for years and the unique cut is manly enough for him to feel comfortable carrying it around. Maybe he’ll use it on your honeymoon trip or romantic weekend getaway. Maybe he’ll bring it with him on that boys’ trip that’s coming up. I can tell you one thing – it’s a much needed replacement for that Nike duffle bag he’s been lugging around.
For Anyone
From Cook to Crook: Snoop Dogg Cookbook
I don’t even know lol. This book is a hoot and perfect for a white elephant gift exchange!!
Copper French Press Coffee Maker
This art deco french press is a thing of beauty. I usually leave my french press out on the counter since it’s always either in use or drying, but mine’s kind of an eye sore. This copper french press will brighten up a kitchen and brew some darn good java! Use the code GIFT for an extra 20% off this coffee maker!
Echo Dot
A 3rd gen Echo Dot is the perfect gift idea for someone who has everything. It’s a luxury item most people might feel weird buying for themselves. At least I felt that way – I felt like I was investing $30 in straight up laziness. You don’t neeeeeed it. But it’s a pretty cool gadget. This makes it the perfect present to pamper someone else!
“Alexa, how can I justify this purchase?!”
-Me buying myself an Echo Dot
Audible Membership
Gift your loved one an Audible membership! Choose 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or a full year. My sister and I bought a 6-month membership for my mom on her birthday, and she absolutely loved it. She’s a big reader… and a rockstar mom who loves to roadtrip to see her daughters in Kansas City and Nashville. Audiobooks are the best way to make the drive go by, but they’re also great for morning commutes.
I hope this gift guide has helped your holidays and eased a bit of your gift giving stress. Hey, maybe something on this guide called to you and you treated yourself to a Christmas present. No judgements. In fact, self-gifting is encouraged.
