It’s that time of year when every corner of the internet is saturated with gift guides for every person in your life. Online stores have entire sections dedicated to uninspired ideas that will surely end up as a re-gift. So stop the stress and ditch the giving spirit, this is the season of treating yourself.
You and I both know your family won't appreciate your amazing taste in gifts. Why spend the time and money on finding unique gifts when they would be just as happy with a $20 Starbucks gift card?
Have you ever spent time agonizing over a product you love but just can’t bring yourself to buy? Make this the year you put your consumerism guilt aside and buy what makes you happy! And if you aren’t sure where to start, we have you covered with some ideas at a variety of price points.
I have been in love with Steven Madden boots for a long time now, and these are at the top of my wishlist. They check all the boxes. Funky? Yes. Platform? Yes. Something a Bratz doll would wear? Obviously yes.
Honestly, this could be swapped with literally any Rare Beauty product, but I’d be remiss not to recommend the liquid blush specifically. I bought the blush in the color Joy, a muted peachy pink, and use it almost every day. A little goes a long way when applying, so keep that in mind.
One of my biggest struggles with hot drinks is having a limited time window when it’s cool enough not to burn my tongue but hot enough to make me feel cozy. Consider that problem solved with the temperature-regulating Ember Mug. Prefer your coffee on the go? They have travel versions too.
The thing I love about this mirror is that it looks like it’s doing a little dance. Its playful design livens up any room and will bring a smile to your face.
Who doesn’t love new additions to their jewelry collection? This set goes together beautifully and features red malachite which is said to be calming and soothing (something we all need during the holiday season).
Abstract candles have been all the rage on Tiktok and Pinterest, and these are a fun spin on an already eclectic trend. The different variations of the face mean that there are options for whatever your style is.
Wrap those gifts, put them under the tree, and give yourself a big thank you. You’ve made it through another year of the holidays which is something to be proud of. Now it’s time to cruise into the New Year. Cheers!
