Around the holiday season, I always hear "Girls are so hard to shop for." But in reality, we're not all that hard to buy for at all. Girls are generally thankful to receive anything you give them, but here's a list of things most girls would be happy to get as a stocking stuffer or a small "I'm thinking of you" gift, in case you're worried about getting the wrong thing. Just remember, it doesn't take much.
1. Candles
Girls love things that smell nice. You can never go wrong with a candle from Bath and Body Works, or from Yankee.
2. Hair ties
I lose these things like crazy, so a new pack is always welcomed and appreciated.
3. Socks
Sure, when we were kids we complained about getting them and our parents even joked that since we were bad, we were getting socks for Christmas. But you know what I wish I had right now as my toes are freezing? Socks.
4. Gift cards
Some people may think this isn't sincere or is expected, but gift cards are a great alternative when you're not too sure if someone will like something. So, let them pick it out! Or you could get them one to their favorite restaurant, because girls love food as much as anyone. Starbucks and gas cards are also encouraged.
5. Bathing stuff
Like with candles, girls love things that smell good or make them smell good. Buying or making bath bombs, bath salts, sugar scrubs, or bubble bath soap is always a safe bet.
6. Blankets
Preferably a fuzzy one. I'm addicted to one of my fuzzy blankets, and I'm not ashamed. I only wish I had more of them so my friends didn't steal my favorite one.
7. Adult coloring book
One of my friends gifted me with one of these and I cannot wait to color in it. Studies actually show that coloring is a stress reliever, and for us college kids, that's always great. There are plenty of options with these; they make animal coloring books, ones that look like Picasso would've done, and even ones with cuss words.
8. Earrings
I can't tell you how many times I wish I had a pair of stud earrings that just go with everything.
9. Umbrella
A girl can never have too many umbrellas because on the days we do our hair, it always rains.
10. Planner
I have used my planner so much though out the fall semester, I already need a new one. Preferably a Kate Spade or Erin Condren one.
11. Silicon makeup brush cleaner
I saw this on Amazon, and couldn't help but want one. It's basically a silicon pad that you use to clean your makeup brushes with!
Good luck!
