Girly Girl's Gift Guide

What do you buy for the girl (or blogger ;) who has everything?

I'm sure this is a semi-annual question for my family and friends, and if you're like me, perhaps your loved ones are asking themselves the very same thing this time of year. That is why I've put together a full proof gift guide for the person in your life who appreciates the finer things (if you're one of those people, send the link to this post your family's way). 

We may seem impossible to shop for at times, but pleasing the pickiest of humans is much easier than it may seem. There are just some things you can never go wrong with. Here's my list of them, ranging in interest and price point. 

Enjoy!



Stocking Stuffers

In my house, the stocking is a sacred place meant only for tooth brushes, gum, chocolate and any other practical (and very much needed might I add) gifts. In your house however, you could stray from my tradition and go for some well thought out girly gifts, perfect for that special someone we all hate to shop for. Consider some miniature products from Lush like this mini hand and body lotion or a little tub of lip scrub, both limited edition. If your girl (or guy) loves makeup, don't gamble money away on a pallet or pricey gift set, go for something full proof like this Geurlain lip balm, Lacôme mascara or neutral eye shadow sticks (By Terry and Laura Mercier are my favorites). When the stockings are emptied, they'll never know what hit them.

For the Bath and Body Enthusiast

Who doesn't love to pamper themselves with some luxurious bath and body products? Lush is always a safe and affordable bet when it comes to gift giving and there are countless treasures in their Christmas collection to choose from. For something a tad more swanky, perhaps opt for some L'occitane products, known for their rich almond scent and the feeling of luxurious moisture. Everyone knows and loves their shower oil and their other products are equally as beautiful.
 

For the Candle Horder

Who in their right mind doesn't love candles? Scented candles warm up the house in the winter (or any time of year really) and set the mood for the holidays. Amazing candles can be found at any price point as well. If you're a saver head to Bath and Body Works, but if you don't mind splurging brands like Lumira, Illume, Voluspa, Jo Malone or Diptyque should tickle your fancy.
 

For the Girly Bookworm


This particular one really calls out to me as I most defiantly identify as a the girliest of bookworms. Much like Lush products, journals are always safe. If it's aesthetically pleasing on the outside with pages she can fill to the brim with lists and ideas, it's a shoe in. Another path to consider is the always trendy fashion coffee table book. If you're un sure, this miniature version of The Fashion Book is a fantastic choice, but if you know your girl well, maybe splurge on a big display book like In Vogue, Tom Ford or Kate Moss. If it's published by Rizzoli, you're golden.
 

For the Fragrance Fanatic


For me personally, fragrances are a go to gift. It can be tricky since scents are such a personal thing so you have to either dig until you find out the scent your girl is pining after this month, or go with something classic that everyone loves. A perfect example of this would be Chanel No.5 L'eau. It's a more modern, fresher take on the most iconic scent of all time and it makes the perfect present.

For the Fashion Obsessed
 

Buying a girly girl clothes (unless she has specifically picked them out before hand) is never a good idea. Accessories on the other hand, can be the gift she never knew she wanted. Do some research on the trendy jewelry of the moment and surprise your girl with something extraordinary from brands like Jenny Bird or Elizabeth and James. For something more affordable turn to ASOS for the best of both worlds, trendy and cheap. 

For the Music Lover


Last but not least there's the girl who escapes the world through her headphones. So why not give her the most beautiful headphones? I absolutely adore my Frends headphones and would say they are worth the investment, not only for the sound quality and comfort but for the obvious Instagram-worthy cuteness.

I hope each and every one of you found something here to either add to your wish list or your shopping list. Happy holidays everyone!


Thanks for reading.
