I hope you've been enjoying my latest "gift guides under $50" [see Glam Girl here, Gifts for Him here, & Gifts for the Host here]! Today's post is for the girl that's always on the go. From foldable flats to back up phone chargers, you'll be a lifesaver gifting any of these items!
... & because I always like more options.
... & I'm obsessed with these Kate Spade file folders. I don't even own a filing cabinet but I might need one now. A girls gotta stay organized, right?
With the holidays right around the corner, we all have parties and gatherings to attend and you never want to show up empty-handed. Aside from what's most important [what you're going to wear], what's also important is what you'll gift the host! A bottle of wine or champagne is always an obvious choice [carry it in this], but if you'd like to challenge yourself to something different, here's a few ideas $50 or less! No parties to attend? Don't feel like a loser. You could also gift these to that friend [I know you have at least one --& she's talkin' to ya'] who loves to entertain!
My boyfriend and I made some apple pie moonshine a couple weekends ago so we'll probably be handing those out along with a few of the items above!
If you're interested in making your own moonshine, we used this recipe here but didn't use vodka. I read other reviews on different recipes and most of them recommended using Everclear only because the vodka flavor stands out too much. With our leftover juices, we made a smaller "batch" and decided to add vodka to those. The flavor was still good but I prefer the moonshine with just Everclear better. Btw, we used Everclear 190 proof & poured in a bottle & a half --I have a heavy pour. It's delicious but I'll warn you ahead of time: it's strong... which is fine because let's face it, we all deserve a buzz when we have to be around family for long periods of time.
Be sure to check out my other under $50 gift guides for the Glam Girl & For Him! xx
Am I the only one who thinks men are difficult to shop for? I feel like they already own everything they want [or is that just my boyfriend?] so we're left to gift them all the [typically, boring, in my opinion] things they typically wouldn't buy for themselves.
Growing up with two brothers, I've learned it's pretty difficult to get your sizes right when buying clothing for men so I only included one basic tee in the set, because those are almost guaranteed to fit, and a sweatshirt that would be a good layering piece. Again, all items included are $50 or less [you can see my previous gift guide for the Glam Girl here]! Click on items to shop!
Socks are fun. Socks are cool. Socks are fashionable. Socks are great conversation starters in a waiting room [if you're a Talkative Tony].
The first gift options that always come to mind for me, for men, is ridiculous socks, cologne, fancy travel bags, belts, wallets, ties, athletic gear, items that have to do with booze, ect. [like I said, boring... except for maybe the last one]. Other ideas include buying them tickets to a game, gift cards to their favorite stores or restaurants, surprising them by pre-paying for a month or so of their gym membership payments, planning a weekend getaway for the two of you [or his buds?], purchasing a few items for his BFF [see leather dog leash above]. After all of these gifts he'll be receiving, he's going to need a few thank you cards, right? One of my addictions is stationary and you know men aren't going to buy these for themselves.
I'd love to hear what your go-to gifts are for the men in your life.
With gifting season quickly approaching, I have put together a few gift guides to help you with ideas! All items included in each gift guide are $50 or less! Today, we are starting with gifts for the "glam girl" because I never have a problem shopping for these types of gals; reason being: I usually want all of it for myself [hint, hint, mi familia]. Just click on the little square icons to shop!
... & just for good measure:
... & even though we're supposed to be gifting to others, we can't forget about ourselves, can we? It's not the easiest thing in the world to buy clothing for someone else sooo if your wardrobe needs a little sparkle, you might as well add this sequin skirt [or this one] and these sequin pants! I've got three more gift guides under $50 planned so don't miss 'em! xx
