Hi guys, I decided to bring the blog back for Christmas. If you are like me you aren't quite sure what you want for Christmas this year or don't know what to get someone for a Christmas gift. As I get older my wants have become more and more practical things I actually need. Like a Sephora gift card to buy make-up, a straighter (mine legit blew up), etc. But, other than that it's hard to think of something I could possibly need. Well after a lot of looking around I have created a list of gift ideas for yourself or for someone else you are shopping for. These could also be great White Christmas or Secret Santa gifts as well. Everything will be under $60.00 because we are balling on a budget. ;)

All pictures will have links attached!!

SKIN CARE/MAKE UP

Tula Discover Kit - $52 (but sign up for emails and get $15 off)

If you haven't heard of Tula it has been all over social media from influences. It's a more expensive skincare that I have heard great things about. I have not had the chance to try it out, but would absolutely love this. This is a great gift from someone who loves skincare or is needing to work on skincare for acne reasons.

This discover kit comes with

- The Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser - 1 fl oz

- Get Toned Pro-Glycolic Resurfacing Toner - 1 fl oz

- Hello Radiance Illuminating Serum - 0.5 fl oz

- 24-7 Moisture Hydrating Day & Night Cream - 0.5 oz

- Limited edition TULA travel bag

Kyle Lip Kits - $29.00

I have personally never purchased anything from the Kylie Cosmetics line or from the Kim Kardashian Line. But, I have heard good things about both. If you are curious about their products before purchasing check out Jeffree Stars' review on Youtube. these lip kits are only $29.00 and come with lipstick and lip liner. This is a great gift or stocking stuffer for your makeup-loving friend. This could also make a great secret Santa gift.

Pixi Beauty Best of Vitamin C kit - $22.00

Pixi beauty is another skincare line I have since influencers rave about. The best part is Target sells it in stores. It is reasonably priced for most people. I am interested in trying out the Best of Vitamin C kit which comes with

- Deluxe travel sizes of Vitamin-C Lotion - Vitamin-C Tonic

- Vitamin-C Caviar Balm.

Vitamin C has potent antioxidant power and is known to boost skin luminosity. This is another great gift for ladies who love skincare or are struggling with acne. Pixi also has a great make-up line out as well. All their products are sold at Target stores.

Winky Lux Flower Lip Balm - $16

My mom and I were introduced to Winky Lux when we visited Nashville. It is a unique makeup brand that is slowly becoming popular. My mom and I both purchased their Flower Balm lipstick. This specific lipstick is translucent and when applied brings out your NATURAL lip color. It is great for days that you want to wear minimal makeup, but you still need some lipstick. This lipstick also comes with a real flower inside the balm. You are able to pick whichever color you want, the flower color doesn't affect the lip balm color.

Jade Roller $11.98

Jade Rollers have become extremely popular. They are cheap and last a long time. Jade rollers are great for circulation in the face, anti-aging, and healing properties. It is best used when fresh out of the freezer and applied to a fresh face in the morning. This is a great stocking stuffer or small gift to add to something else. You can find these on Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc.

Facial Brush - $9.99

A lot of skincare companies have been coming out with their own electric facial brush. I recently found one at T.J. Maxx for $9.99. I have used it every day since I got it. I use it in the morning and at night with my facial cleanser. It works amazing and I have since a difference in my skin since using it. This is another great stocking stuffer or an extra gift to add. I have this exact one in white and rose gold.

Electric Blackhead Removing Pore Cleaner - $9.99

I also found this product at T.J. Maxx for $9.99. I didn't buy it and regret it. This product is great for anyone struggling with acne especially blackheads. Rodan and Fields also have a great electric blackhead Pore cleaner. This will definitely be one of my next buys.

CLOTHES / SHOES

Ugg Fluff Yeah Slides- $99

Okay I know I said everything is under $60.00, but I had to include the most popular slippers of the season. Ugg launched slippers that you can wear everywhere. They come in multiple colors and designs. They are more expensive for slippers, but if you or someone you know lives in their slippers this would be a great splurge. I got to try a pair on and I must say they are worth the rave. They do only come in whole sizes so I would recommend sizing up if you are a half size.

LuLu Lemon Shorts Dupe - $24.00

I found dupes to LuLu Lemon shorts on Amazon. This pair looks identical to the red pair I bought in NYC over the summer. For $24 this product got 4.5/5 stars. The logo is even located in the same spot as the LuLu Lemon Logo and looks very similar. They come in multiple colors and are currently in my Amazon basket to purchase and try out. The reviews are great and most women said they were almost 1:1 with LuLu Lemon shorts.

90 Degrees by Reflex Biker Shorts - $19.99

I purchased 90 Degrees by Reflex leggings back in September after hearing they are close to Lulu Lemon leggings. I am in love with the leggings I purchased and will continue to order more. I found they also have great biker shorts with phone pockets on the side. This is a great gift for someone who is really into current fashion or really into working out. They have multiple different sizes and colors. I recommend any product from this company.

Silk Pajama Set - $23.99

I have fallen in love with pajama sets and have found the cutest ones on Amazon. I found the Serenedelicacy Women's Silky Satin Pajamas Short Sleeve PJ Set Sleepwear Loungewear for less than $25 on Amazon and 4.5/5 stars. I have the pink cheetah set currently in my shopping basket. This pajama set is a great gift for anyone who loves pajamas. You could even stack this gift with cute slippers and some face mask.

Graphic Tees - $39.00

If you or someone you know is obsessed with distressed band tee's Urban Outfitters is the perfect destination for all distressed t-shirts. All of them tend to be $39.00 which is more pricey for a band tee, but definitely a gift the recipient will live in. I love the Def Leppard and Sublime graphic tees Urban Outfitters has. This shirt doesn't actually come that distressed and torn.

Faux Leather Leggings - $15.99

Amazon has a great pair of faux leather leggings. I absolutely love mine and get so many compliments when I wear them. If you or someone you know wants a pair but doesn't want to spend too much on a pair I definitely recommend the Amazon faux leather leggings.

Knee High Boots - $61.60

Express has a cute pair of Embossed Block Heel Boots in two colors on sale for $61.60. They are regularly $88.00. This fall a big trend has been knee highs that are wide on the thigh instead of tight. These boots are great with leggings, jeans, or skirts. This pair is the usual silk or velvet a lot of knee highs are like. I recommend this pair for anyone who loves to wear knee highs or loves to stay with the seasonal trends.

JEWELRY /ACCESSORIES

Replica David Yurman - $15 to $30.00

After browsing through Amazon I was able to find good quality replica David Yurman. If you have a friend who loves expensive jewelry or the David Yurman look, but doesn't want to drop 3 digits on jewelry this is a great gift. Amazon has multiple styles and colors of replica David Yurman at great prices. This is a great secret Santa gift or an extra side gift.

Uncommon James

Uncommon James is a Nashville based jewelry company designed and run by Kristin Cavallari. She just opened up a store in Chicago. Uncommon James' concept is similar to Kendra Scott, but the jewelry is not the same. It is still brass plated jewelry and shouldn't be worn showering, working out, or swimming. My mom and I both have multiple pieces and love them. She also has a great sale section. If you sign up from emails you can get 10% off your first purchase.

Kendra Scott

Kendra Scott is always a good gift choice. I am in love with the new traditional pieces and winter collection. She has designed a lot of jewelry that you wouldn't think was Kendra Scott. A lot of the prices are extremely reasonable and affordable. Don't forget if you have a birthday or know someone with a birthday in December you get 50% off ONE item, but it is FINAL SALE no exceptions.

Bauble Bar - Alidia Ring $44 (currently on sale for $12)

I am obsessed with the Alidia Ring from Bauble Bar. It is currently on sale for $12.00 and a great gift for ring lovers. It comes in multiple different stone colors. This is a great stackable gift for someone. You can also get 10% off your first purchase online. It is gold plating.

Replica Ray Bans - $19.99

Over the summer I visited NYC and lost my Ray Bans while shopping. I can't make myself buy another pair of $153 dollar sunglasses. So, I did whatever a rational person would do and checked out Amazon for dupes (LOL). I found the Pro Acme Metal Sunglasses that have 4.5/5 stars. The reviews were great and the product even has Pro Acme on the lens which looks like the Ray-Ban logo. This pair is on my wish list, I definitely recommend these sunglasses for someone who wants Ray-Bans, but doesn't want to spend the money or loses their sunglasses often.

Street Level Reversible Tote - $50.00

Every woman needs a good reversible tote. Especially for those women who always have an overflowing bag. Street Level is sold at Nordstrom in-store and online. The Street Level tote can be either brown or black leather. It also comes with a detachable wallet.

Braxley Bands- $29.00

These are some of the cutest Apple Watch bands I have seen. I purchased my first one 2 years ago at a local Lubbock boutique. This is a great gift for someone who always wears different watch bands. Since they are stretchy they are great for working out. Braxley has created so many different styles that it's hard to choose just one to buy.

HOME GOODS

Diffuser

I love diffusers. They are a great way to keep a room smelling fresh without having to worry about blowing out a candle. This is a great home gift for anyone. You can even include a couple of scents to go with it. These are easier to find and come in so many different shapes, sizes, designs, and colors. This is a great gift for anyone with pets, it makes it a lot easier to keep that pet smell from taking over. This specific diffuser is from Anthropology currently on sale for $28.80.

Candles

You can never go wrong with a great smelling candle as a gift. This specific candle is currently $24.00 on sale at Anthropology. It is a great holiday gift with a popular smell. This is another gift idea that can be stacked and added to anything else on this Christmas gift list.

Coasters - $.9.99

This is a great house warming gift or a gift to stack on. There are so many trendy and modern coasters being sold. Target, home goods, Anthropology, etc. have some of the cutest coasters. This is a great gift for your wine-loving friends that you could stack a bottle of wine with. This specific coaster set comes in a set of 4 at Target.

Cozy Blankets

You can't go wrong with gifting a cozy blanket this holiday season. This is a perfect gift to stack face mask, candles, slippers, and skincare gifts with. You could even get a blanket and a book/movie as a gift set. These blankets are home Pottery Barn and are currently $34.00 on sale. They are 50 x 60 inches and come in three different colors.

Heating Pads

Recently I have seen a trend in heating pads that come as cute and cuddly stuffed animals. They have almost every animal you could think of. This is a great gift to give someone with slippers and hot chocolate. This sloth is from Hallmark for only $24.99. Hallmark, they also offer an assortment of other animal heating pads. This is great for someone who hates being cold in the winter.

Wall Decor

We all know someone who loves to decorate. A great gift for someone whose into home decor is wall hangings. Wall hangings can range in size and shape. They are easy to find at all home good stores. These specific wall hangers come from Urban Outfitters for $24.00. This could also make a great gift for a new graduate who needs house/apartment decor. I love this set because it has three different hanging mirrors in different shapes and sizes.

Woven Baskets

I know this probably sounds like a weird gift, but this is a great gift to give with a cozy blanket, a pair of slippers, a candle, or some cute pillows. It's a stackable gift that can also act as the gift bag itself. If you have a friend who has a ton of blankets and nowhere to store them all this is a great gift for her. This specific wooden basket is from West Elm currently on sale for $14.25.
