Gift Guides for the 2021 Christmas Season!

Happy Monday! It’s that time of year again – have you started shopping yet?! This year I started earlier than ever and it’s been SO nice. More often than not, I’d start shopping halfway through December and finish the process a couple days before Christmas. It’s a little stressful that way so starting earlier has been much more fun!

Finding the perfect present for loved ones is such a happy feeling, especially when you know they’re going to love it! I spent so much time on these and whether it’s from the items linked or ideas you get from them, I hope these gift guides help make your shopping easier! Happy shopping!!

Gift Guide for the Beauty Lover

Happy Monday! Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? I’m just starting this week and I’m so excited!

Here are some gift ideas for the beauty lovers on your list:

  1. Dr. Jart Vidal Hydra Solution face mask – this mask feels amazing and is super moisturizing! It’s not really expensive either, so it would be the perfect stocking stuffer or add-on to another gift.
  2. Tula Glow & Get It Eye Balm – this under eye balm is a nice discovery gift! It’s made with caffeine, so it truly helps you wake up in the morning. It also brightens your under eye, which is nice if your recipient has dark under eye circles.
  3. Mark & Graham Travel Jewelry Case – one of my best investments has been in a travel jewelry case. Aside from using it on overnight trips, a travel jewelry case is great for everyday too! I keep mine in my purse for whenever I want to take my jewelry off. It’s really convenient if you go to the gym and then work, so your jewelry is always in one place. This one is customizable too, so you can put the recipient’s initials on it!
  4. Nano Titanium 1″ Tapered Curling Wand – I’ve had this curling iron for years and use it multiple times a week. It works great and makes a nice gift too!
  5. Makeup Brushes – I don’t personally own this set, but I do use the same brand every day. They’ve lasted me years, work great, and are really pretty!
  6. Clinique Happy Perfume – This perfume comes with a large bottle and a travel size. If the recipient likes sweet citrusy fragrances, this is the perfume for her! This is my everyday perfume and it smells exactly like it’s labelled – happy 🙂
  7. Silk Pillowcases – my favorite kind of gifts are the ones you use everyday that you never knew you needed. Silk pillowcases are a small luxury and nice to have, especially since they’re good for your skin and hair!
  8. Bite Beauty Lip Crayon – this is my all time favorite lipstick. It stays on all day and comes in so many flattering colors! My personal favorite is the color Glace. They are so worth the price!

I hope this helps you when shopping – whether there’s something directly on this list or you now have an idea of what to get! I’m working on more gift guides that will be up this week 🙂 Until Wednesday!
