2016 Holiday Gift Guide for Her

Hey friends – happy holiday season! It sure is nice to say that. This bustling time of year is something I look forward to — from gift giving and gift making to festive gatherings and quality time with family (and my beau!), it’s a time of ever-changing traditions that I thoroughly enjoy.

Whether or not this season means gift-giving to you, I put together a gift guide if you are shopping for women in your life. From your mother to your mother-in-law, sister, aunt, or best girlfriend, this list might inspire your shopping for the holiday season (or any time of year)… and give you ideas of what to put on your own list to Santa.

A tip for online shoppers: use Ebates! I’ve earned a decent chunk of change just by clicking through Ebates first before finishing my online purchases. Simply sign-up here, use Ebates whenever you shop online, and each quarter you’ll receive a payment (via cash, PayPal, etc.) for shopping from your own home. What’s not to love about that?

Holiday Gift Guide for Her

Luxurious Face Mask | I have been loving this Avo Cocoa Skin Food Mask from Andalou Naturals. It’s reasonably priced, smells of heavenly dark chocolate, and is leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I am eager to try their brightening Pumpkin Honey Glycolic Mask, too.

UGG Shaye Waterproof Boots | I don’t own a pair of rain boots, but now that it is finally raining in Northern CA (woo — maybe the drought’s end is in sight!?), I think I could rationalize a pair of these stylish waterproof rubber boots. They’re much less expensive than Hunter Boots, and they come in my current favorite color — grey! A practical gift that’s cute too.

Customizable Planner | For any woman who likes to plan, a customizable planner (or notebook) can be a functional yet fun present to give. Minted has a slew of artistic options like this this avocado design — perfect for the foodie in your life.

New Balance Full Zip Hoodie | What’s better than a new, thick and cozy sweatshirt? I’m swooning over the heathered berry color on this simple hoodie that could be worn to and from the gym, or layered with any athleisure item for weekend errands, farmer’s market outings and coffee dates.

New Balance | 5% cashback with Ebates + free shipping

Fossil Georgia Brown Leather Watch | A classic and timeless accessory to match nearly every outfit — you really can’t go wrong.

Stitch Fix Gift Card | The most personal gift card around — the gift of a personal stylist who will select items exclusively for the recipients size, style, and needs. Plus, it’s like a double surprise: once when she unwraps her gift and second, when she receives her fix. Stitch Fix makes it easy for last-minute shopping, too, with print-at-home and e-gift card options.

Sole Society Capri Faux Leather Tote | For the woman who brings her life with her everywhere she goes. From work to travel, a functional yet fashionable tote is a girl’s best friend. I’m digging most all of the Sole Society totes at Nordstrom.

Nordstrom | 6% cashback with Ebates

Fresh Sugar Lip Set | Last holiday season, I fell in love with Fresh face masks and their sugar lip treatments are next on my list to try. This set makes for a perfect stocking stuffer; or better yet, divide up the gift set and keep one for yourself.

Sephora | 4% cashback with Ebates

New Balance 96 REVlite | I am completely smitten with these sporty lifestyle sneakers. They come in earthy cool-temp inspired colors to go with any fall/winter weekend attire. I think any fitness-focused gal could get behind a pair of these essential kicks.
