Are you trying to buy a gift for your mom? Your sister? Your best friend? With Black Friday approaching, I have been thinking a lot about gifts.
I can say firsthand that it is no easy task to buy for someone who already seems to have everything. It can be disheartening to finally think of a gift idea, only to find out that the recipient already owns said gift.
Here are some gift ideas to prevent this from happening to you this holiday season.
Plants
Amanda Kessler
Plants have a lot to offer. They liven up a space, and can be a great addition to home decor.
If the person you're buying for isn't big on taking care of plants, you can gift this Umbra Trigg Hanging Planter Vase & Geometric Wall Decor Container. I personally have these hanging in my bathroom, and they're my favorite decor item.
Satin sleep set
This Satin Sleep Set from My Kitsch comes with a pillow case, an eye mask, and a scrunchie. Silk or satin pillowcases are great for the woman who doesn't want her hair to frizz up over night.
This set is currently on a 30% off sale for Black Friday, so act fast!
Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer
This hair dryer is my holy grail. It makes blowing out your hair 10x easier and is great for the woman on the go.
You can also buy heat protectant spray to go along with this gift! The HSI Professional Argon Oil Heat Protector is my favorite.
Journal

The Five Minute Journal is a good option for someone who is typically in a rush in the mornings.
Skincare
Skincare products like sunscreens, serums, moisturizers, masks, etc. can be a great gift.
Lots of skincare brands are offering bundles and sales for the holiday season, so look out for those! Check out these skin care sets from Sephora and Ulta.

For a beginner, or someone who prefers simple recipes, this 5-ingredient cookbook is a good buy.
I hope this list gave you some inspiration! My biggest tip is to take advantage of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals throughout this week.
Happy holidays, and happy shopping!
