2018 Holiday Gift Guide

Make Your List & Check It

Santa tell me…. that it’s time for a major GIFT GUIDE. I am totally changing things up this year for my holiday gift guide and giving it to you ALL AT ONCE instead of rolling the guides out over the next seven-ish weeks. I really thought about it and believe that this will be a more efficient and useful way to help you plan out your gifting purchases ahead of time.

Let’s Break It Down

There are nine categories below and each week from now until Christmas I will be focusing on a different category (or two) on Instagram and spotlighting the various gifts within them and why exactly I’m recommending each of them. So peruse the holiday gift guide roundup below and keep an eye on my Instagram stories in the upcoming weeks to see me share many of the products in real time! So bookmark this post to refer back to in the upcoming weeks!

* NOTE: everything on this guide I either already own and LOVE, have gifted before, am shopping right now to gift to someone this holiday season, OR might put on my Christmas list. I did not pad this gift roundup with fluffy, frivolous gifts— only top-rated and IBIP-approved and loved recommendations here. Because, we are officially transitioning into full-on ELVES and elves only gift the very best. 😉

Click on Any Item to Shop It!

I love shopping for my mom more than anyone else— it’s so rewarding to find something that represents her so well and spoil her with something nice— she’s the most deserving lady I know.

Emory Tote Bag— This reminds me of the Nantucket basket bags– you can customize this with a bow & ribbon!

Faux Topiary— Deb seems to have topiaries everywhere. They go with all décor schemes!

Cameran Earrings— These are my mom’s favorites. We got them at Lisi Lerch’s Christmas party last year!

Whether it’s your dad, boyfriend, or brother… every man in your life needs a little something handsome. My boyrfriend Johnny’s favorite brand? Johnnie O. 😉

Rustic Leather Tech Catchall– I got this for my dad for his last birthday to keep in his office. You can monogram it!

Kiehl’s Fuel Your Adventure Set— This travel set is my favorite gift to give any guy. It’s so nice & they will be obsessed with Kiehl’s it at first use!

Bermuda Penny Loafer—  These timeless loafers are my boyfriend’s favorite. They’re beyond handsome & comfortable!

Email this blog post to Santa and have him look at this section. These are all must-have styles that you will get so much use from all year long.

Gray Over the Knee Boots— I got these this fall and am obsessed with the color and shape. They hold true form while & go with everything.

Monogram Tote— I own two St. Anne Barrington Totes & use them as my everyday bags for work and travel. The print & monogram options are endless!

Suede Moto Jacket— This suede jacket is SO highly rated and has been on my list for such a long time!

Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that’s not a lot (but if it is then these luxe gifts will work just as well I’m not asking for much here right Santa 😊)

Saint Laurent Chain Crossbody Bag— This beige + gold combo is to die for! Such a classic & gorgeous crossbody bag that I am seriously EYEING.

Classic Square Halo Ring—  This stunning ring looks so luxe, but you will not believe the price! It comes in a variety of ring sizes. SANTA!!

La Mer Cream— This is the holy grail of all moisturizer. I’ve been using it for the past six+ months and I’m telling you, it stands above the rest.

The holidays are such a perfect time to spruce up your home by asking for a few new decorative touches as gifts. These are a few bohemian glam faves of mine.

White Decorative Tray— I am a tray addict! I have about half a dozen in my apartment now & love how chic this one is!

Mirrored Bamboo Tray Table–– This serves as our bar cart & is my absolute favorite piece of furniture in our apartment!

Jewelry Display Box— I have this in grey & actually store all of my makeup in it. It’s the ideal size for either jewelry or all of your makeup.

Spoil all your girls without breaking the bank. $50 is also an average Secret Santa cap price as well!

Outdoor Stemless Wine Glasses— I love to buy my best friends accessories for their bar carts & these are both durable & chic! They come in 5 different colors.

Monogram Pouch— This pouch is the perfect size for your bestie to keep in her work bag for all her knickknacks that get her through the day! The monogram is free.

Soul Sister Bangle— A sentimental bangle that your best friend or sister can wear all the time. I was gifted one & adore it. 😊

If you’re like me then you find yourself spending the majority of your days with your co-workers. Therefore, they more than deserve a little treat around the holiday season!

“Offline” Bright Eyes Set— This de-puffing & cooling eye gel set is useful & appropriate with the hysterical “offline” silky sleep mask.

Gold Initial Mug— A gold and white initial mug that can be used as a pen holder or coffee cup that would make the cutest gift for the people who sit by you in the office.

Rose Quartz Candle— Did you know that Kendra Scott creates candles?! They’re like delicate pieces of jewelry for your coworkers’s desk or home.

These are some of my tried-and-true Amazon favorites that I’ve recommended time and time again. They’re ideal gifts if you’re in a time pinch as well!

Travel Makeup Case— This is the case I use when I’m on the go & it’s the best one I’ve ever found. BY FAR. The compartments make it so easy to see & use your makeup.

Blue Light Blocking Glasses— These protect your eyes from computer screen strain. So important to have & not to mention so cute. Comes in seven other colors!

Gold Star Necklace— 18k gold plated twin stars (where are my Thetas?!) adorn this necklace. It’s perfect for layering OR wearing as is!

These products are mini enough to fit in a stocking but special enough to be useful in your everyday life. Find more fab stocking stuffers via Francesca’s or Forever 21!

Tassel Keychain— This is such a pretty little detail to add onto a tote bag, clutch, or your apartment keys. It comes in so many colors.

Fresh Sugar Soft Lip Set— I use this Fresh sugar scrub right before I put on lipstick, to make sure my lips are smooth as can be. Plus the lip treatment duo is the BEST in the biz.

Rosy Facial Roller— So I’ve yet to pull the trigger on a jade roller, but it reduces puffiness/wrinkles & eliminates toxins. This one is the best price I’ve seen & may just make it’s way on my Christmas list!

These products are Liberty’s top favorites for spoiling your pup on Christmas. From play toys to addictive snacks, these are the necessities and accessories your dog will LOVE.

Woof Clicquot Rosé Dog Toy— Celebrate with this squeaky champagne stuffed bottle. Now he/she doesn’t have to feel left out during cocktail hour!

Needlepoint Dog Name Collar— The cutest custom dog collar we’ve seen. The perfect accessory your diva dog will love to show off.

KONG Durable Chew & Treat Toy— Liberty LOVES chewing on one of these when we fill it with peanut butter. It’s the perfect combination of a treat and a toy that keeps her entertained for hours!

There are 150ish gifts in this holiday gift guide… and even though I tried to make it as digestible as possible, this guide can definitely be overwhelming. SO, if I had to pick a top 10, of all things I either own, have gifted recently, or know to be a staple item (hello Gucci bag), the below ten would be it!

The True Reason for the Season

And finally, just a little reminder (mainly for myself!) that all of these special, thoughtful gifts are meant for showing your love for one another and celebrating a magical holiday. As my mom always says around this time of year… Jesus is the reason for the season! xx
