CHRISTMAS 2015 GIFT GUIDE | MEN

Hey guys! Is it just me but I find that guys are the hardest to shop for. For my Dad, he always buys anything he wants himself, even leading up to Christmas. A few times, he has even bought the present we are giving him; it's really annoying. So, if any of you are having trouble buying your boyfriend, brother, or Dad a present, this gift guide is for you! 

-----

1. Wallet

Wallets are a great present to start out with because everyone uses one. I think men are pretty specific about what they want in wallet, so make sure you know what he likes. Other than that, wallets are great options. Once they find a good one, they use it forever.

2. Basketball/Football Jersey

This is great for the sporty guys. I think sometimes baseball or basketball jerseys can become a little bit juvenile, but when it's in t-shirt form, it's a bit better. My mom actually bought this for my brother because at 22, he loves sports but doesn't want to be walking around wearing a huge jersey. 

3. Duffle Bag/Luggage

Duffle bags are great, especially for the traveler. Herschel makes some really nice ones. Black is always a safe color to get for men because it's pretty basic and goes with a lot. 

4. Watch

Either men love watches, or hate them. The tech guys, like my Dad already have a device like the iPhone or iWatch and don't feel the need for a regular watch. Even though this might be true for them, watches are a great staple men's accessory especially if it's black or silver.

5. Shaving Kit

Most men shave, right? I actually bought this specific shave kit from The Body Shop for my brother because he shaves a lot and is pretty into it. This wasn't an expensive item, but it comes with a lot of nice products. If you want to go more expensive, Jack Black and The Art of Shaving have some nice products. 

6. Wine Cooler

Men are either love win or they hate it. For the men who love wine, but don't have a thermal-controlled wine cooler, it is a great present to give. My brother and I are getting my Dad this.

CHRISTMAS 2015 GIFT GUIDE | WOMEN

Hey guys! For all of you procrastinators, I have just what you need, a last minute guide guide! I have 3 categories for this! Women and Men. The Men's Gift Guide will go up tomorrow!

Let's get into it!

-----

1. To-Go Cups / Mugs

I think to-go cups or mugs are great to gift as gifts because basically everyone uses them. Also, if you have some extra money to spend, you can fill it up with a gift card, hand cream, lip balm, or candy. Starbucks has so many cute ones, festive or non-festive.  I also like David's Tea for mugs. 

2. Pajamas

I think pajamas are great for everyone! For people living in warmer climates, you can get a cute sleep shirt or a shorts and tank combo. For people living in colder climates or like to be warm, you get them something like this from Victoria's Secret. It has a henley, long pants, and an eye mask. Also, pajamas are a great gift because if you don't know their size, just guess bigger; everyone loves big and cosy pajamas.

3. Candles

I love getting candles for people. When I go shopping for my own candles with my friends, I like to take note of what scents they like. If you don't know what scent to get them, pick something that doesn't have a strong scent. Some candles from Bath & Body Works that I think would be great for everyone are: Vanilla Snowflake, Sparkling Icicles, Eucalyptus Spearmint, and Ski Lodge. I also love going to Target and Yankee Candle for candles.

4. The Body Shop

I always love giving gift sets from the Body Shop because they are nice body products to receive; my friends mostly buy their body products from CVS. It's nice to give them something to pamper themselves with without breaking the bank. I either get them gift sets or a few large products and make a gift set myself. If I don't know what scent people like, I normally stick with Shea because it doesn't really have a strong scent but is really moisturizing. I really love the Fuji Green Tea scent.

5. Blanket Scarves

Blanket scarves are a perfect gift for the winter time, especially in colder climates. I really love the reversible ones because not only do you get 2 patterns to choose from, it's thicker than the normal ones. Express is my favorite place to get these. Check out my favorites: 1, 2.

6. Tea Samples

If you have a friend, sister, or Mom who loves tea or wants to get into tea, there are so many gift sets out right now with tea samples. This one from Teavana has four 2 oz packets of different types of loose teas. Also, it's a great way to get a look at the brand if you have never tried any of it before. A new tea store, David's Tea, just opened in my mall and they have so many samples just so you can get to know them better.

7. Makeup Kits

So many companies have makeup kits out now. My favorite are Birchbox's own brand, LOC. They have the ultimate collection (all the shadow sticks&lipsticks), one with all the eyeshadow sticks, one with all the lipsticks, singular eyeshadow sticks, singular lipsticks, or gift sets. I just got the ultimate collection and I absolutely love it; I highly recommend it.
