You know the girl who loves to overdress (yes, even during quarantine),
plans every social event for her friend group (for 2020 this means zoom parties), and treats Fashion Week like a religious ritual? Well this is the gift guide for that girl. (If any of my family or friends are reading this, this is also my personal Christmas list.) All the gifts on this list are for someone who lives her most fabulous life, and wants to add a little #extra sparkle to her holiday season.
Stocking Stuffers
Look, you're never too old for stockings. I always loved finding the small treats in mine growing up. Of course, if you're shopping for a luxe lover some of these small pieces might cost a little more than the Hershey bar and small toys that used to fill her stockings.
A Sequin Stocking
If you're going to fill an extra girl's stocking, you better make sure the stocking sparkles as much as she does. I love these rose gold stockings from Etsy because they can be personalized.
Too Faced Better Than Sex Faux Mink Falsie Lashes
These lashes are amazing. They look natural while adding a bit of glamour to your makeup look. My personal favorites are "Natural Flirt" and "Drama Queen", but all four styles are fabulous and would make a great stocking stuffer.
Anastasia Beverly Hills False Lashes in Eleganza
Since we're still all wearing masks, a girl could never have too many false lashes! I love this pair from Anastasia Beverley Hills because they fan out in a way that's natural, but can take any outfit from a 9 to a 10! They have many other styles as well, but this pair is my personal favorite, so I highly recommend.
Too Faced Rich and Dazzling Lip Gloss
I know we're all still wearing our masks everywhere, but sometimes a girl just wants a little lip gloss for her next 'gram photo. I have yet to try Rich and Dazzling by Too Faced, but love the amount of shine and the cute AF packaging. They have 13 different shades, so there is a color for every girl, but I personally want to try the "Crazy Rich" shade.
GLAMGLOW Pre-Party Prep Oxygenating Deep Cleanse BUBBLESHEET Mask Trio
I swear by GLAMGLOW's Supermud Clearing Treatment, so I know their products don't disappoint. This sheet mask trio help to cleanse the skin and leave it with a noticeable glow!
Slip Holiday Bauble - Skinnies Rose Gold Collection
No lie, every other gift guide I've read has recommended this product. I can see why! These hair ties don't crease and are made with silk to be gentle on your hair. Plus, it comes in a rose gold ornament. Who wouldn't want to find this in her stocking?
Kate Spade New York 3-Pack Trouser Socks
Okay, so socks as a Christmas gift is kind of a cliché but I don't think any girl would be sad to see this Kate Spade Trio in her stocking!
Sugarfina Sparkling Rosé Bears
I always loved finding candy in my stocking as a kid, and would still love to find it at 25! These Sugarfina gummies are infused with rosé and are perfect for any rose lovers!
Jewelry
Jewelry will forever be one of my favorite gifts! I always jump add the chance to add a little extra sparkle to my outfit and would love any of these pieces for myself!
Kendra Scott Ari Heart Gold Chain Bracelet in Iridescent Drusy
Normally heart shaped jewelry is such a cliché gift, but this Kendra Scott bracelet is too cute to pass up. It comes in a variety of different stones and settings, but the iridescent drusy and gold chain will pair well with any outfit!
Uncommon James Audrey Ear Cuff
Ear cuffs are back, and (hopefully) hear to stay. The Audrey ear cuff from Uncommon James is perfect because it's simple, but the pearl detailing gives it a chic touch.
Francesca's Heather Cubic Zirconia Stud Set
You can never have too many classic stud earrings. This rose gold set from Francesca's is the perfect complement to any outfit and is simple enough to not distract from any other jewelry pieces.
Makeup and Skincare Sets
The holidays are the best time to buy makeup and skincare products. Many companies launch exclusive Holiday sets and even have limited edition products. Plus the sales at Ulta make it easy to get those at almost half the cost. Just make sure she didn't fall victim to any Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales and buy the set for herself! (Yes, I have been known to do that.)
First Aid Beauty All That FAB
To be honest, I have been trying to perfect my skincare routine for awhile now and I have concluded that the problem is my products. First Aid Beauty is a skincare brand that is fragrance free and great for sensitive skin. This five piece set includes full size products that will help any girl nail her skincare routine and leave her feeling radiant.
Dior Rouge Dior Mini Lipstick Set
There is no lipstick more iconic than Rogue Dior! It was used it Christian Dior's first ever fashion show and is a must have product for any high fashion lover. In this set you get four mini lipsticks for only $50. I'm sold!
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Vault
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara has been the number one prestige mascara basically since it's creation. In this vault you get five full size tubes that will last you an entire year! It's a cult favorite that any girl would love to unwrap on Christmas day!
Anastasia Beverly Hills- Sultry Eye Shadow Palette Vault
This vault from Anastasia Beverly Hills was obviously made for the girl that would never let anyone dull her sparkle. The set includes the Sultry Eye Shadow Palette, Eye Primer, Liquid Liner, and Lash Brag Volumizing Mascara. It has every piece to complete the perfect eye look. What more could a girl want?
Anastasia Beverly Hills Natural & Polished Brow Kit
Anastasia Beverly Hills is known for their iconic brow products, so, of course one of there brow kits made the list. But why have one piece when you can have five? With stencils, two brow pencils, and clear brow gel her makeup Reels videos are going to be amazing!
Hair Care
As Elle Woods says, "The rules of hair care are simple and finite." These rules of course being to take care of your hair and have it looking your absolute best, you need to right products and cute accessories. Any "Cosmo Girl" knows.
Drybar The Lil' Crush Crew
This set from Drybar includes a mini version of their straightening brush, a travel size heat protectant spray, and a travel size dry shampoo. Basically all you need to achieve their iconic "Manhattan" blowout at home. (Well, minus the blow dryer.)
Moroccanoil Protect & Prevent Spray
One of my best friends swears by this product, and I have to say, it makes her hair look amazing! It does exactly what it says prevent and protect the hair from any heat or breakage, and protects any coloring. It's simply a must!
Lovers + Friends Marta Pearl Headband
Channel your inner Blair Waldorf with this cute pearl headband from Lovers + Friends. It's simple, elegant, and would look amazing with any outfit!
Shoes
Shoes quite honestly can be the most important part of any outfit! I mean, I buy cute shoes knowing I have nothing to go with them, and then proceed to buy an outfit that does. As long as you know the girl's shoe size (I'm a 10), then you can pretty much bet she'll love the gift!
Adidas Duramo SL Shoes in Black
The sneaker trend is here to stay. These sneakers are perfect for any workout, but also the perfect complement to any oversize sweatshirt and legging combinations. Let's face it, she'll be using them for the latter.
Steve Madden Reggie in Natural Snake
You can never go wrong with a snakeskin bootie. Especially if that bootie is from Steve Madden!
Blue by Betsey Johnson Tegan Chain Jeweled Embellishment Detail Ankle Strap Pumps
I couldn't make a gift guide for a girl who's extra AF without including some stunning high heels. These heels from Blue by Betsey Johnson take a playful and girly twist on a classic black pump with sheer fabric and embellishments.
Gianni Bini Kahleaa Evening Halter Back Dress Pumps in Sand Gold
One of the rules of shoes is that you can never have too many. Which why I have included not one, but two embellished pumps. This cute pair from designer Gianni Bini can add the perfect amount of sparkle to any casual or dressy outfit!
Clothing
Normally I do not recommend clothing as a gift because you never know how something will actually look until you see it on. I personally love when my family takes me on a shopping spree before Christmas, so I can pick out pieces love! (I always hate having to wait to open them though.) However, I do have some clothing suggestions below!
Lulu's Write Your Story Burgundy Plaid Two-Piece Sweater Dress
Ever since Emily in Paris came out on Netflix I have been obsessed with anything that is cute, plaid, and would look great with a beret. This two-piece set from Lulu's checks all those boxes, and I would love to say "bonjour" to it on Christmas day!
Unique21 Two-Piece Red Blazer Set
Channel your inner off-duty model with this cute two piece blazer set. Sadly the pieces are sold separately, but they're both on sale at ASOS!
Lovers + Friends Elana Mini Dress
Truly, you can't go wrong with a cute and casual sweatshirt dress. Especially, since this one from Lovers + Friends cinches at the waist in a way that is chic and flattering!
White Fox Best of Both Oversized Sweater in Ice Blue
In 2020, you also can't go wrong with loungewear. I love this sweatshirt from White Fox Boutique because it says Beverly Hills, and after watching all three seasons of Selling Sunset I was ready to pack up and move there.
Books
Whether it's a cute book for the coffee table or a juicy read, books make great gifts. The ones listed below would make any girl feel fabulous!
Dior Catwalk by Alexander Fury and Adelia Sabatani
This book is perfect for anyone that loves Paris Fashion Week. Dior has some of the most beautiful fashion shows and this book features complete collections from 1947-2017.
The Swans of Fifth Avenue by Melanie Benjamin
If you love Breakfast at Tiffany's and Gossip Girl, this is the book for you! The story follows Babe Paley, a Manhattan socialite, as Truman Capote enters her world and begins to tell her stories. It sounds like a must read to me!
Eat Beautiful by Wendy Rowe and Sienna Miller
When it comes to cooking I've always said I'm like Carrie Bradshaw meaning, I just don't. However if I had this book I would. This book was created by a makeup artist that gives your recipes to take care of your skin from the inside out. It also includes recipes for homemade face masks and scrubs.
Technology
I'll admit, I'm not the most tech savvy person, so I almost left this section off completely. However, I found a couple of things that I would like and think other girls would like as well!
MUSJOS Emily in Paris Phone Case
In case you haven't noticed, I am obsessed with Emily in Paris, so obsessed I have to have this phone case (in pink of course!). I'm sure I'm not alone here.
Ring Light
Chances are the girl you're shopping for is very into social media (or in my case blogging), and wants the perfect lighting when taking photos and videos. There is no better tool to do that than a ring light!
Gift Cards
Personally, I have never been a big fan of gift cards. I'd rather just be given cash. However, I love gift cards for pampering sessions which is what I would recommend for any girl after the year we've had.
A Nail Salon Gift Card
I dare you to name a girl who doesn't love to get her nails done (even if it's only every now and then)! As someone who gets her nails done regularly, I would love to have an appointment that was already paid for!
Drybar Gift Card
Special occasion or not, a blowout can make any girl feel her most confident. Drybar is my favorite because all the treatments are named after cocktails and they use their award winning products to create beautiful blowouts!
These are all the gifts I would recommend, but remember this is only a guide. You can't go wrong with similar items or basically anything that shimmers. Also, when in doubt, cash makes a great gift!
XOXO,
Kristin
