Welcome back, gift guide season! This is a tradition I've cherished since high school and college, when I would spend countless hours curled up on my couch after classes, Gilmore Girls marathon playing in the background, crafting these gift guides for days on end. These gift guides are truly one of my favorite things about my platform; they are a way to share my love for finding the perfect present and getting into the holiday spirit.
I'm so honored that many of you compliment my gift guides year after year. I often create the same gift guides each year, and your enthusiasm is truly what makes me so excited to continue those traditions while incorporating a few new gift guides based on feedback you've shared (thank you!). I am hoping to get all of my gift guides up by Thanksgiving week so we can all take advantage of the sales as they roll in -- so soon!
I'm kicking off the gift guides today with my 'favorite things' gift guide! This gift guide features essentials I can't live without, from the Kindle that changed my reading game, the trucker hat that I rarely leave without, to my everyday purse that's both stylish and functional. These pieces come in at all price points and are sure to please! Whether you're searching for a luxurious treat or a practical gift, you'll find something for every girlie here (I hope!)
Without further adieu, these are a few of...
1. Kindle // I continue to love my Kindle; I've said this before but I really never thought I wanted one until I had it! My favorite part is 10000% being able to read on my side without having to hold a physical book sideways... also, I love being able to just throw my skinny little Kindle in my bag when I'm traveling and not have to turn on the overhead light on a plane! The latest version of the Kindle I have (linked here!) comes in pink, too... no brainer.
2. Sunglasses // I received these sunglasses as a Christmas gift a few years ago and they've pretty much changed my life - I'm obsessed with them.
3. Tory Burch Mini Kira // This was a spontaneous purchase back in the spring and it quickly became my everyday purse; not only does it come in a handful of chic colors, this is the most perfectly price little purse (in my opinion) - it looks and feels so luxe, and it works with every outfit whether day or night, spring or summer. Not to be dramatic but I think this purse has been the best purchase of my life.
4. Sporty & Rich Adidas // These are my go-to shoe in the city; self-explanatory. Love them.
5. T3 Aire 360 // I have been using the T3 aire-brush for a few years, and I recently upgraded to their version of the air-wrap when it came out this summer! I absolutely love it; it comes in the prettiest pink packaging and I'm able to get a perfect blowout every time. It's a great price compared to others on the market *cough, Dyson*
6. Cashmere Shrunken Cable Knit // This is probably the most worn sweater in my wardrobe! Not only is it so soft and such a timeless style, but the shrunk aspect makes it a little more fitted than many of my larger, loosier sweaters that can sometimes read messy or too casual. I find this sweater to be the perfect go-to for any occasion, whether it's with a little skirt on a Saturday, with jeans to the office on a weekday, or just over my shoulders when I'm not sure if I'll need an extra layer! I have it in cream so it really goes with absolutely everything - it's a truly perfect sweater.
7. Burgundy shoulder bag // I recently got this and it's a gorgeous fall purse that surprisingly fits a lot, and comes in under $150! I love it.
8. Dean Davidson Earrings // I've always been a bit picky about hoop earrings, but these earrings are perfect; the unique shape is so flattering. They're the perfect everyday earring when you want something a bit chunkier or bigger but not too crazy; they're comfortable and versatile!
9. Custom Trucker Hat // Mine says "frantucket," lol. I wear it every single day
10. Lake Cozy Robe // The Lake Cozy robe is so incredibly soft and warm, it feels like a hug from your favorite blanket. I swear, once you put it on, you won't want to take it off! It's not only incredibly cozy, but it also looks chic.
11. Le Creuset Dutch Oven // I was so excited when my dad surprised me with a Le Creuset Dutch Oven a few Christmases ago. It's become my go-to pot for everything from my favorite soups and chilis to my family meatball recipe. It's incredibly well-made and built to last; I'll have mine forever! I have it in a dark red, but any color you choose will be a beautiful addition to your kitchen.
12. Summer Fridays Lip Gloss // This lip gloss in vanilla beige has remained my favorite gloss for years now; something about the neutral brown color is gorgeous and flattering; I was so surprised by it at first but it's truly the lip gloss I reach for more often than not!
13. La Tulipe Body Lotion // This body lotion is divine - the best scent and feels so luxurious.
14. Molton Brown Rose Dunes // This scent is my favorite fall/winter perfume; it's technically unisex so it's not too sweet or floral. It's uniquely rosey with having warm, woody notes.
15. Scalloped Towels // My bestie Katie gifted me these for my birthday two years ago and they are the best towels ever. They are SO plush and soft and come in the prettiest color combos. You can also embroider them with anything you'd like - mine say "narcissist" and "the drama" LOL.
16. Scalloped Ice Bucket // My ice bucket was my birthday present from Katie this year! Clearly she is a great gift giver; this ice bucket is adorable and can be monogrammed!
