However, I would love your support if you have the means. Thanks in advance! Now that we have all of that squared away, let’s get to the good stuff!

Gifts for Mom

I find that shopping for my mother is one of the hardest things. She already has everything and everything that she deserves to get I can’t quite afford. Nonetheless, I find the best strategy is to either go as personal you can (as with all gift giving) or get them something they would never get themselves but would use. I chose the later option and this is what I came up with:

 

1. Michael Todd Damascus Rose Moisturizer *
2. Collage Picture Frame * (Fill it with personal pictures too!)
3. Black Orchid & Amber Jar Candle *
4. Kate Spade Cedar Street Small Hayden Leather Satchel
5. John Frieda Salon Shine Compact Dryer
6. Square End Grain Cutting Board
7. Tarte Tartelette Palette (A Fall Favorite!)

Gifts for Dad

Novelty items, beer, and bbq: everything dad could ever want right here:

 

1. Wüsthof Steak Knife Set
2. Smoked Salt Set
3. Hugo Boss Silk Tie
4. Corkcicle Beer Chiller
5. World’s Best Farter Print
6. Tommy Bahama Reversible Pullover
7. Taisin Machine Ice Sphere Maker

Gifts for your Sister

I curated this set with my own sister in mind. She’s a busy first-year in college & here’s everything I think she’d love to have back in her dorm:

 

1. Joco Reusable Glass Coffee Cup
2. Pink & Blue Two-Tone Aviators *
3. Soniclear Petite *
4. Rose String Lights
5. Pajama Set *
6. Break The Ice Insulated Tumbler
7. Glitter Backup Mobile Charger

1. Basic Beanie- Navy
2. Gameboy Color Phone Case
3. Nintendo 8-Bit Illustrated Throw Pillow
4. Neff Blue Wayfarers
5. Skullcandy Bluetooth Earbuds
6. Jack Black Travel Skincare Set

Gifts for the Boss Babe

To be honest, I actually put together this guide with my own personal tastes in mind; nonetheless if you have a #Girlboss in your life here’s what to get her:

 

1. Hustle & Heart Print
2. Kate Spade Sunglasses Trinket Tray
3. Boss Lady Gold Script Mug
4. Building My Empire Planner
5. #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso

Gifts for the Guy Friend

Let’s face it, guys are hard to shop for— especially when they’re just friends! I have a few guy friends in my core friend group and here’s what I’d get them:

 

1. Hydroflask Water Canteen (From a different Favorites post)
2. Minimergency Kit for Men
3. Starwars Portable Phone Charger
