The holiday season is officially in full swing, which means it is time to start Christmas shopping. If you're anything like me, you enjoy getting thoughtful gifts for the special people in your life. It is truly more blessed to give than to receive.
Today's gift guide is full of elevated gifts for your girls. You do not have to break the bank to make someone feel special and appreciated. But a gift is a great way to show someone that you care and that their presence in your life and in this world is important.
This gift guide includes thoughtful and unique gifts for the friend who always hosts, your glam-obsessed sister, your girlfriend who's a new mom, and the wellness guru. Let’s get to it.
The Host
Whether she’s into micro-sized events or big (chosen) family gatherings, this set of gifts is perfect for your friend or family member who loves to host. I included things for the kitchen, bathroom, and self-care. Hosting is exhausting but exhilarating, so it's only right to give back to the person who creates the magic of the holidays.
The Glam Girl
We all know a woman who is all about glam, whether it's bling, leopard print lipstick, or sparkly candle holders. This list is giving Barbie main character energy and Diamond Princess. There were so many items that stood out when thinking about the perfect gift ideas for your glam-obsessed friend. A part of me felt like I was shopping for myself, but mostly I had my oldest sister in mind, who has been into Glam since I can remember.
The New Mom
Postpartum is hard, so moms deserve the world. I created this list with a couple of my friends in mind who are new mothers and experiencing the holidays for the first time with a little one, or for the first time in a very long time with a little one. The goal of this list is to make her feel special and appreciated.
The Wellness Guru
The holidays are often an excuse to cheat on our Wellness goals, but we all have that friend who won't go back on her word for anyone or anything. This list is for your friend who is going to work out on Thanksgiving morning and get right back to counting her calories on Black Friday. She is committed to her goals, loves seeing her progress, and wants to bring everyone that she loves along with her. This list is for the woman who can't stop until she becomes the best version of herself.
Last Thoughts
When it comes to giving gifts, you must give from your heart and with an awareness of what the person you are gifting likes. If you can't decide on a gift, then just give them a gift card, and they can shop for themselves.
Truly, it is the thought that counts and makes gifts have a lasting impact on the person who will receive them. Happy Holidays!
