Gift Guide: My Favorite Things + Stocking Stuffers.

Today’s post is by far and wide my favorite “Gift Guide” type of post! Since I am *almost* sick of seeing Gift Guides floating around the internet for this Holiday Season, I wanted to make this one special + really useful, so I put a different spin on it and created my own personal “Favorite Things” list! The items below are things that I own personally own and love OR are clever items that I would totally give as gifts myself. This Gift Guide is price point focused so everything is under $60 and the majority of items are under $25…making it easy if you have a gift exchange to go to that’s price point sensitive. If you’ve already bought all of the gifts that you need, keep reading for some fun new products that I’ve been loving!

One | Pom Hat $15

Practical but still cute…also comes in navy!

Two | Insulated Coffee Canister $24.99

I love these Sip by S’Well canteens. Half the price of a regular Sip bottle and even more cute and functional. This one is designed to fit perfectly in a car cupholder so that you can enjoy your coffee on the go.

Three | Dior Lipstick Enhancer $33

I’ve talked about this on Instastories before, but I LOVE this product. My girlfriend actually gifted it to me last Christmas and it’s so clever! It’s a lip refresher that actually adjusts to and enhances your natural lip color. Don’t ask me how it works, but it does! I keep it in my purse to reapply daily. It’s also a wonderful lip conditioner.

Four | Gold Measuring Cups $5.00

Any gal would love these to add to her kitchen! Gift along with a homemade bread or Christmas treat.

Five | Marble Bottle Opener $6.99

Another cute item to gift along with a 6pack of seasonal brew and a great hostess gift idea.

Six | Dual Contour Stick $11.99

Ok, I love this stick! I’m just about out of it and am running to Target today to grab another one! It’s SO good and makes contouring super easy and pretty goof proof! One side is the highlighter and one is the shadow creator and since it’s in pencil form, you can be much more precise and draw it on instead of using a brush.

Seven | Voluspa Holiday Gift Pack $32

I’ve also talked about these before, but I think that they made such a great gift. I usually buy this value set and separate it up so that I have 4 cute gifts. Wrap it in cellophane with a plaid bow and a little sprig of holly and you have a thoughtful gift that cost you well under $10.

Eight | Present Over Perfect $12

My favorite book. Hands down. If you have a busy mama on your list….buy her this.

Nine | Glam Lucite Makeup Organizer $17

I recently added a makeup organizer to my bathroom counter and it’s been life changing. That sounds silly to say, but when I can easily see and access my 5 minute makeup routine it actually makes my morning go smoother and keeps my vanity much more tidy than having my makeup bag all strewn out. This one is really pretty AND a great price. A cute gift idea is to gift this organizer filled with a few of your own personal makeup favs!

Ten | Selfie Ring Light for iPhone $12.99

I just got this this in and LOVE it. It clips onto your phone and gives you gorgeous, natural looking light for photos. It’s even dimmable so that you can adjust it to whatever lighting you’re in. Funny gift idea that will actually be used.

Eleven | Emily Ley Daily Planner $58

Even the most disorganized person on the planet (aka ME) can love and appreciate this planner. That’s how good it is!

Twelve | Dry Bar Dry Shampoo $23

Hands down the best dry shampoo. Period. Smells wonderful, works well and it’s cakey. Give this to the girl on the go!

Thirteen | Rose Misting Spray $16

Another amazing product that will actually be used if given as a gift. Those misting spray is made with coconut water to keep your skin hydrated and dewey all day long. Great for the gal who travels!

Fourteen | Aveda Air Control Hair Spray $9-23.00

This hairspray is my FAVORITE. Definitely a little bit of a splurge, but I use it when I’m getting a little more glammed up and am curling my hair. It’s great to spray on before you use your curling wand to give your hair some texture and have the curls hold even better. Also smells amazing!

Fifteen | iT Cosmetics Brow Pencil $24

I’ve been a Bobbi Brown brow pencil girl for years now and for whatever reason recently tried this one and LOVE it. I was very hesitant that the “universal color” (they really only make it in one shade) would work for me…but it does and it actually looks way better than the Bobbi Brown. There are nearly 1,500 5 star reviews on it, so if you’re looking for a brow pencil….this might be your winner1

Sixteen | Tan-Luxe Self Tanning Face $49

I stumbled across this stuff as I was browsing Ulta one day and was immediately intrigued! An oil that can be added to your nightly moisturizer that gives you .a great glow overnight?? Yes please. I bought it and have since loved it! Because it’s winter and my face if the only thing that shows anyway, this stuff works to give me a healthy glow with minimal effort. My tips are to wash your hands well afterwards and go for the lighter shade regardless of your skin tone.

Seventeen | Micro-needling Roller $24

I’m dying to try professional micro-needling, but in the mean time this at home micro-needler works pretty well! Roll it over your skin after cleansing and before your moisturizer so that if can really soak in. The science behind micro-needling says that minimal damage to the skin (these needles) forces skin to heal itself, thus increasing blood flow and collagen to the affected areas….a win win for anti aging and scars.

Eighteen | Coffee Scoop + Clip $10.99

Ok how cute and clever is this? The cutest coffee scoop + bag clip and the perfect gift attached to your favorite bag of coffee!

Nineteen | Sugar Lip Scrub $24

I’ve heard rave reviews about this lip scrub and wouldn’t mind if it ended up in my own stocking 😉

Twenty | Volcano Candle $30

Favorite candle. Hands down. Always makes the perfect gift!

Twenty One | Rose Lip Balm $15

Another great option to break apart and give as separate gifts. Useful to keep in your purse or gym bag when on the go.

Twenty Two | iT Cosmetics Brush Set $58

This is also on my personal wishlist. I have the iT large “Airbrush” brush and LOVE it, so I really want to try their full brush set.

Twenty Three | The Laundress Fabric Refresh $16

The cutest stocking stuffer that’s also very useful. This fabric spray not only smells amazing, but is great to use to refresh clothes after you’ve been traveling and/or between washing.

Twenty Four | Origins Charcoal Mask $27

One of my favorite weekly masks…this one really really cleans the pores.

Twenty Five | Beauty Sleep Set $25

Gel eye patches + a pretty sleep mask for your best gal to wake up refreshed and beautiful.

Twenty Six | Champagne Gummy Bears $20

I honestly have NO idea why these things are so expensive, but they are so dang good. Infused with champagne, these little gummies are a great stocking stuffer.

Twenty Seven | Stila Liquid Eyeshadow $24

Another favorite as of late! I’ve been loving this as a highlighter when doing my eyes these past few months. It adds just enough shimmer without being over the top and is SO pretty for the Holidays!

Twenty Eight | Sugar Lip Set $38

One last thing on my personal list. I’ve been dying to try these sugar lipsticks as I’ve heard that they offer just as much amazing lip conditioning as they do color.

Under $16:
