1. Polaroid Camera - Or the Fuji film replica, these things are amazing! No more letting pictures float around our iPhone memory space! We rarely print our photos anymore, and we cant trust that technology will have our backs years from now, to keep those photos. Computers crash, phones break. Invest in a Polaroid camera for your loved ones!
2. A trip - If you are on the east coast like me, NYC is always fun around the holidays, but can get crowded. You can take a train, since driving and parking there is near impossible. Boston is pretty cool for New Years Eve as well! Washington DC throws some beautiful decorations around the holidays. Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, has a cute Christmas village with tons of other activities and festive restaurants. Get a hotel and spend an awesome weekend away!
3. New Handbag - Every girl loves a new handbag. You can go designer, or you can get to marhsalls, TJ maxx, or Francesca's Boutique. They all have super cute non-designer handbags that are chic enough for a day to day basis. For designer bags, I think Kate Spade and Michael Kors are perfect for woman of all ages, and its becoming more and more affordable depending on the style you choose. Although these designers are very popular, and on the lower side of the designer bag price spectrum, they have a few styles that can get pricey. Either way, you are totally spoiling your lady!
4. Victoria's Secret - Honestly, what girl doesn't get happy when they walk into Victoria's secret? Its full of female essentials, and fruity perfumes the woman in your life will adore. I also love their sweatpants and varsity style sweatshirts. This is a perfect store to shop for your female friends too!
5. Massage Gift Certificate - As long as your loved one doesn't hate being touched by strangers, this is the perfect gift. Who doesn't want to give their loved one a day of ultimate relaxation?
5 more smaller items you can get alone or add to the gifts above - we all love opening more than 1 gift!
6. Scarf, Hat, Glove set - Marshall's has such cute scarves, in all kinds of styles and colors. I think this is the perfect gift if you haven't been dating a long time or friends for a long time, because its super chill and inexpensive.
7. Starbucks Gift Card - For those that love coffee!
8. Candles - Yankee Candles or pretty much any candle that smells good would do the trick. Especially ones that are holiday scented.
9. Lush Beauty Items - Face mask, body bar, bath bomb - all super amazing, natural and smells delicious! I personally would love to receive one (or multiple) kinds of their face masks, because I have sensitive skin and they feel oh so fresh. If you have a loved one whose into beauty and feeling good, this store is your go to!
10. Jewelry - OK, this doesn't have to be crazy expensive, or full of diamonds. But Macy's has some decent prices on Sterling Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold jewelry. If you're loved one doesn't have a watch, or has an old one, consider getting them a new watch! Francesca's also has cute jewelry, but watch out because the material may rust after time, so if you're just shopping for a friend, this might be a good option to buy them jewelry for nights out with the girls! Not everyday jewelry, as it might wear faster, so if you're loooking to buy everyday wear jewelry, I'd suggest investing in more expensive jewelry.
