Gift Guide: For Her

I have so much fun picking out gifts for my female friends and family.  I will admit though, at times... I definitely over-think it.  I also have a tendency to buy things in groups of threes.  I've designed this gift guide in terms of interest - so make sure to read my commentary below!

1.  The Beauty Guru: I would check at Sephora or Ulta to see what is the latest.  If she loves color, an eyeshadow palette or lipstick kit is great!  Otherwise, if she's into skin care - try some nice lotions or sheet masks.  The possibilities are endless.  I'm a sucker for the holiday packaging myself.

2.  The Homebody:  If your she loves staying home, I suggest a candle, coffee mug, fuzzy slippers, or cozy blanket.  You could pick up some great books as well.   Anthropologie has some great options!

3. The Fashionista:  My sister is very fashionable, but I can never truly pick out any thing that is exactly her style.  What works for me is accessories - that way she can pair it so it works with her style.  Jewelry, hand bags, and scarves are a great way to go!

4.  #Boss Lady:  Nowadays there are so many creative ways to decorate the office and workspaces at home.  I love Rachel George for "golden" accessories.  However, you can find so many great office tools from Kate Spade, Ban.do, and even Francesca's Collection.

5.  The Foodie:  If she loves cooking or baking, Williams and Sonoma or Sur La Table are two places that I immediately check.  Sometimes it's fun to put together a recipe book and all of the essentials needed to bake the recipe.  Or, some wine a beautiful glasses are also very "tasteful"!

6.  The Crafter:  Hobby Lobby and Michael's Craft stores are my go-tos.  Depending on what kind of crafting your friend enjoys, I usually buy "craft kits" that can be put together.  I love the "sparkly" hot glue gun feature in Mr. Kate's Hot Glue Gun Mess book (<- also a great gift!).

7.  The Athlete:  When you know your her size, you can pick out something from a sports store like LuluLemon or Athleta.  In the case that you don't, ear buds, a headband, and water bottle could be picks that she'll love!

Since it is a bit late in the season - I won't have time to do this - but... perhaps next year I will expand on these gift guides and dedicate a post to each type of "girl" out there.  Of course, we ladies can't be put in a box and many of us fall into several categories.

 Anyway, I hope you enjoyed!
