I will start this post by saying: Christmas and the Holiday season solely relies on your family, friends and the joy you feel in the season. If you are religious or spiritual, we must remember what the season is all about & no one leaves this Earth with your possessions.

That being said, we all know the commercialism of the holiday has turned into the opportunity for people who show love through gift giving to, well, show love! Here are the best gifts I received this year:

  1. Monogram Makeup Bag with zipper compartment – I’ve been looking for something like this for years!! The zipper compartment on the bottom is perfect for carrying your brushes/beauty blenders along with your makeup all in one place. The interior is a sweet polka dot and the bag comes with two pouches that would be perfect for jewelry.
  2. Sephora Gift Cards – How can you go wrong?? Whether replenishing my regulars or trying something new, Sephora gift cards are amazing and everyone knows me because I got three this year!
  3. Beats Solo 3 Wireless Headphones in Rose Gold -I kept stealing J’s so I finally got my own. Obsessed with these for travel.
  4. Gold stackable rings – I’ve always been obsessed with stackable gold rings and I’ve found throughout the years that investing in higher quality vs. Forever 21 or H&M will obviously last you so much longer. I got a set of three last year and they’ve lasted me all year of wearing them nearly every single day!
  5. Envelope Laptop Sleeve -I got SO mad at J writing this blog post because I did not know it was so expensive!! However, it’s extremely sleek, great for travel & I’m using it as a little lap table as I write this post in the car.
  6. Monogram Leather Wallet– Italian leather, customizable & comes in five colors! This wallet is quality and will last a long time.

 

I hope you take this holiday season to enjoy your loved ones along with enjoying your new “toys!” Have a happy new year!
