I did a question and answer on Instagram asking men what they have received as a gift this year. Some seem happy with their gifts. Here are some gift ideas to give to the gentlemen this holiday. Happy holidays and happy shopping babes!
1. BLEU DE CHANEL COLOGNE – Woodsy notes that blend citrus to make it crisp, clean and the perfect cologne for fall and winter.
2. LULULEMON CITY JOGGER – Comfort is key. SO cozy and come in a bunch of color options.
3. JASON MARKK SNEAKER CLEANING KIT – If your man is crazy about his sneakers, he will LOVE this kit. Even I have it and I love it!
4. APPLE AIRPODS – Still obsessed with these. Now they’re noise cancelling, perfect for the gym.
6. THE CARRY ON COCKTAIL KIT – For the cocktail lover who’s also a frequent flyer. Comes with everything you need (minus the alcohol) to make two old-fashioned cocktails. They also have kits for MOSCOW MULES, GIN & TONIC and more.
7. S’WELL BOTTLE – Such a no fail gift! So many different colors and size options too.
These are all of my favorite things and items that I’ve given as gifts over the years that never seem to fail. You’ll definitely find something on this list to treat someone you love or yourself to something nice!
1 .BUNHEAD SCRUNCHIES – If you have hair on your head, you need one! Even if you have short hair or curly 4c hair, their silk hair slip are perfect! These are handmade and painted with love in NYC. The design is inspired by a fusion of impressionism & urban street art. Each piece is hand-painted so slight variation in design is intended, as Soieli slips are crafted individually as your unique wearable art piece.
2. KYLIE SKIN SET – If you’re a bit skeptical about Kylie Skin, watch my review HERE. This set is great for all skin types and anybody who is skincare or Kardashian obsessed will love this.
3. KKW FRAGRANCE – The packaging of Kim’s perfumes are all SO gorgeous and they smell so good! My favorites are the CRYSTAL GARDENIA and her Kylie collab NUDE LIPS.
4. DYSON SUPERSONIC HAIR DRYER – Literally the best hair dryer ever (FULL REVIEW HERE). I’ve given this to 3 different people and it never disappoints! SB: Just wanted to include that me and the 3 people I gifted it to, we all have different hair textures and still love this hair dryer.
5. SAAYA ROSE BOX – These are real roses that last a full year! I have a box myself and they’re so gorgeous. They have hydrangeas as well!
6. BALI BODY SELF TAN HEROES BUNDLE – BALI BODY is SO popular among everyone in the beauty community. This is such a nice gift for the person who always loves to be bronzed up. Oh, and if you are looking for a cheaper route, here is my DIY OIL for a flawless tan.
7. KYLIE COSMETICS HIGH GLOSS SET – Lipgloss is such a no-fail makeup gift, no matter someone’s makeup skill level! These glosses smell so good, aren’t sticky, and are my hands-down favorite of 2019.
8. DIPTYQUE CANDLE– These are my favorite luxury candles and I think these make such a gift for a host! ROSES,VANILLE andFIGUIER are my favorite scents that everybody seems to love.
9. LAVENDER AND GRACE JEWELRY – This brand is owned by the oh so lovely Kayla Gabelhouse and all of her jewelry is SO gorgeous! They’re dainty, classic, and just look so good on everyone. I personally love the Zodiac Necklace and Pixie Earrings.
10. SUGARFINA CANDY SET– Boujee AF and also a great gift for a person who is hard to shop for. Inside Nordstrom stores, they have the cutest little Sugarfina boutiques where you can create your own boxes!
16. MIDNIGHT PALOMA GUA SHA FACE + BODY TOOL – Midnight Paloma is another Vancouver based brand I love ( No, I’m not from Vancouver but I do find some of my beauty items are shipped from that location) and this is a great gift for a skincare lover. I think it’s more fun than a traditional facial roller (even though I LOVE FACIAL ROLLING TOO LOL).
17. WEIGHTED BLANKET – If you STRUGGLE WITH ANXIETY like me or know someone who does, these are so soothing and really help me relax and fall asleep. Plus they’re just cozy AF for the winter months!
18. APL SNEAKERS – I’ve given these as gifts and again, they just never fail to please! The shoes are comfy and last long.
