Women's Gift Guide (Under $100!)

Finding just the right gift for someone is always tough. Someone may ask for something specific or you might have the perfect gift in mind already, but there are always a few gifts you can't quite figure out. Today's Gift Guide is for any lady in your life (2 more guides are coming!). You can take any gift below and sort of cater it to the person you are giving it too. They're sure to love it! Plus, everything below is under $100, and most of the gifts are under $50.

1. Christmas Mug - Pier 1 $7.96 - They're just adorable. & everyone loves a good cup of hot cocoa. You could even add hot chocolate, candy canes, and marshmallows to spruce it up a bit more.

2. Whitman's Sampler - Russell Stover $9.00 - It's no secret that women love chocolate. I pretty much get my mom a Whitman's Sampler every year... and then steal a bite or two.

3. Fresh Balsam Candle - B&BW $20.00 - These 3 wick candles are the best. They have so many scents to choose from at Bath & Body Works, and usually some sort of 2 for $20 sale!

4. Knit Scarf - ModCloth $24.99 - I think anyone can use a nice red scarf for Christmas. If you are scared to knit one yourself, ModCloth has a ton of cute options.

5. Coffee Table Book - Anthropologie $27.50 - Anthro has a bunch of different books that you could easily pick out for someone. I'm partial to the Paris one, but there are a few for fashion, dog, or food lovers too. This would also make for a nice hostess gift.

6. Spa Gift Set - Bed Bath & Beyond $45.99 - This gift set includes everything, so that's why I picked it out. These are great because you can get the most luxurious, expensive gift basket, or you can get an affordable one from Walgreens. There is so many options to choose from, and what girl doesn't like to be pampered?

7. Embellished Clutch - Urban Outfitters $49.00 - I am in love with this. The champagne/gold color & all of the beautiful beading makes this perfect for any holiday party. I think it is just gorgeous.

8. Naked Palette - Ulta $52.00 - This is a really good, basic palette for anyone. Even someone who doesn't wear much makeup. I have the first Naked palette, which is my favorite, but now there's a 2nd and now a 3rd as well.

9. Daisy Perfume - Sephora $89.00 - I have this on my Christmas list. A perfume is a really nice gift, and kind of a personal one as well. If you aren't quite sure of a particular perfume or scent someone might like, I suggest you go for a body spray. Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret have some great scents if you are wary of making an investment in a perfume.

That is all for this Gift Guide! Be on the lookout for a few more!

Sandals, Sundresses, and Lip Salves

Continuing with the Thursday themes (you can check out my last ones here and here), today I wanted to share my beauty and fashion favorites with you all. I learned one of two things while making this post. 1. The majority of my closet is from Target and 2. I am terrible at posing. With that being said, lets hope I expand my wardrobe and take a few lessons on posing. I'll get there... hopefully.

{Aviators}

I have a huge head, and a big nose, so it's hard to find glasses that look good on me. I've found that aviators suit me well. I got these for $10 at a beach store, but here is a similar pair from UO.

{Wonderstruck & Daisy Perfumes}

I love both of the Wonderstruck perfumes, but I only have a few uses left on the original and I decided to leave it at home. Before I bought this roller ball of Daisy I would douse myself in samples at all the department stores. So good.

{Sundresses}

These are always going to be a staple in my wardrobe. They're so effortless and comfortable; I just can't get enough. The three of these are all from Target, of course. I know for sure that the polka dot one is still available here.

{Rose Salve}

I've tried 3 different kinds of lip salves, and C.O. Bigelow's is by far my favorite. The strawberry one is included in here too because I do like it as well (mostly because it smells like a strawberry smoothie).

{Sandals}

You can never have too many pairs of sandals. The two on the outside are from Target and I got my Rainbows at a random store in the mall. Sorry for their appearance, but they've held up pretty well over the years!

{CG Mascaras} 

CoverGirl mascaras are some of the best that I've ever tried. These two have definitely become my favorites. I do like a more natural makeup look, and these are perfect for that.

{Jeggings}

I apologize for my awkward posing, but I had to share my love for jeggings. They're so comfy! It's like wearing pajamas, but you don't look like a crazy person. I got these from Target, along with a black pair.

{Eyeshadows}

Last but not least, the eyeshadows. I absolutely love these: the Naked palette, the CoverGirl Shimmering Sands trio, and the L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Amber Rush. I feel like these products have gotten a lot of love here on the interwebs, but I can see why.

Let me know what some of your favorites are! I'd really love to try them out.
