Well, it's almost here. And if you are anything like me your shopping gets done about 1-2 weeks prior to the big day. So I decided to help you out a little if you are still scrambling. Sometimes, I feel like shopping for women in the 16-25 age range might be difficult. A lot of women have specific tastes. Women are just difficult in general (as a fellow woman I am allowed to admit that aloud). I mean for example, she might want a certain style sweater in blue and if you buy it for her in red then you might as well just light it on fire. I've compiled a list of items I think any girl would be happy to see under the tree on Christmas morning. If you're out and about and you still need to pick a couple things you may benefit from this list to get an idea of what the special gal in your life might be asking for this Christmas.
1. SWEATERS.
Girls love a good warm, soft, cozy sweater. You cannot go wrong in this department. Drop in at American Eagle, Forever 21 or even Target to find some quality comfy sweaters.
2. Jewelry (and no, I'm not talking about that heart shaped garbage).
If your daughter, sister, girlfriend, niece, cousin or granddaughter is anything like me. She probably would appreciate a good pair of earrings or a simple necklace. Stop by Francesca's (my favorite place in the world), Forever 21 (you can literally buy anything in there) or Charming Charlie's to pick up a cute pair of studs or a fun accent necklace. Plus you can never go wrong with a simple bracelet from Alex and Ani.
3. Vests: puffy, quilted, soft, furry, you name it.
I appreciate a good vest. Every color is welcome in my book because they can be paired with literally anything. I was at Target recently and found quite a few that I really liked. Also another good place is TJ Maxx or Marshall's because they have it all. And if you are looking for something better quality or higher end (also more pricey, yikes) Patagonia, The North Face and J. Crew are options as well.
4. Makeup
You might want to swing by Ulta or Sephora if the girl in your life appreciates quality products to "put her face on" with.
5. Socks (pretty simple right).
Cabin, knit, wool, boot. So many socks. You cannot go wrong with a cute pair of socks. Dick's, American Eagle and H&M are all mighty fine establishments you may want to browse if you're looking to purchase a pair of socks.
6. Phone cases.
Unless your daughter, sister, GF, etc. uses an Otterbox or Lifeproof case and refuses to remove it then she might like a new phone case. To many, phone cases are often temporary so something fresh is always appreciated. You can even order them from Amazon for as low as $3.99.
7. Candles.
Or air fresheners if your special gal lives in a college dorm room. Yankee Candle or Bath and Body Works are your best bets for this area. My personal favorite scents are Catching Rays™, Beach Walk™ and Clean Linen™.
8. Boots.
Okay so, boots usually tend to be pricey, especially if we are talking L.L. Bean Boots or Hunter Rain Boots BUT girls love a good pair of booties. Charlotte Russe has some incredible deals this holiday season. Some pairs are as low as $20. Some other stores include Kohl's (everything is on sale there) and Marshall's.
9. Athletic apparel... like Nike perhaps?
Or Adidas would be nice too. Girl love a good pair of sneakers. Or leggings. Or a sweatshirt. Or sweatpants. Or sports bras. Or headbands. You cannot go wrong at stores like Dick's, Lululemon, Athleta, or again Marshall's/TJ Maxx.
10. Anything from LUSH.
Bath bombs, moisturizers, shampoo, face masks. Everything in there is fair game. Touch it all, smell it all. It's glorious.
11. Cups, mugs, water bottles.
TARGET. Go there. Their mugs are so cute. Target also carries S'ip™ water bottles by S'well™. They are metallic water bottles that keep your drink hot or cold for up to 12 hours (plus they come in cute patterns and bright colors).
