Just like that, the holiday season is upon us! Can you believe we’re half way through December?! I don’t know about you but I have a tendency to put off my holiday shopping until the very last minute. I don’t mean like the week before, where I can still order something off of Amazon Prime and get it in time. No, I mean like Christmas Eve last minute!

So I pledged to myself this year would be different. (Anyone else done the same pledge a million times over with little success? Don’t worry…you’re not alone). In hopes of truly avoiding this procrastinating catastrophe for myself and for you, I’ve put together some amazing gift guides for the holiday season. This one is specifically centered around ideas for your BFF!

My BFF’s

I don’t know about you, but most of my best friends live outside of my state, even some outside of the country….yea Shelbs, I’m looking at you (heavy eye roll for leaving me). Therefore, you now have to account for the timeframe of shipping a gift to them too! That’s why I decided to write this one first. Many of the below gift options are available to be shipped directly as a gift, but it still requires some preemptive planning on your part.

The Honest Company City Backpack

I’m not a momma but some of my besties are. I’m guessing some of your besties are too?! Or maybe you’re a momma yourself? This backpack is amazeballs on all accounts.

A few reasons why it’s great for moms: The back zipper allows for one handed access to necessary objects. The pocket in front provides an insulated pouch for bottles, (or in my case snacks). The diaper changer pad. The amount of ORGANIZED pockets! Organization is key!!

Okay so I’m not a mom…but I still own this backpack. Yes I put my snacks in the insulated pouch. I put my keys in the back zipper so I can access them easily. I have everything separated into the different compartments. The only thing I haven’t used in this backpack (as a non-mom) is the diaper changing pad!

Girl, Wash Your Face Book

I’m a reader, I totally get that not everyone is. If you’re looking to buy a gift for a friend who reads, I cannot recommend this book enough

Quick synopsis: 20 chapters of lies that you tell yourself as an individual to lessen your greatness. This book changed my life. Rachel Hollis, the girl boss behind this book, is the most inspiring, witty, and thoughtful human. She is real, she is straight forward and sometimes we all need a little bit of that in our life. Read this book!! Then buy it for a friend!!

Scrunchies are back!

Can you believe it?! I absolutely love scrunchies. Dew Edit features a ton of fun patterns and designs. Act quick though, they tend to sell out! Another fun idea, tie a scarf around the scrunchie for an extra pop of color! Also check out Free People for some other gorgeous scrunchies with scarf options!

Wax Buffalo Candle:

Blood Orange is literally the best smelling candle I’ve ever put my nose on. First of all, the owner and creator of this brand is 100% girl boss extraordinaire!! So if you purchase one of their candles you’re not only getting an incredible product, but you’re also supporting an amazing individual and brand! Their candles are hand poured in Lincoln, Nebraska with pure soy wax. They use high quality essential and fragrance oils. They use unbleached cotton wicks. Their jars are so cute and their scents are amazing.

I’ve had the pleasure of trying out Blood Orange, Sweet Tobacco, Winters Eve & Evergreen and they are ALL fabulous!!

Check them out and SUPPORT them!! They make such an incredible gift and I can’t speak highly enough about their product!

Tarte Eyeshadow Palette

What girl doesn’t love makeup?? It’s practically in our DNA when we’re born. I’m a huge makeup fan and fell in love with the Tarte palettes a while back when I received one as a gift myself. Tarte recently came out with their new PRO REMIX Amazonian Clay Palette, and it’s the bees knees!! Any friend who loves makeup will fall in love with these palettes! Shop all of those right below!

Astley Clarke Bracelet

It wouldn’t be a gift guide without a piece of jewelry involved! Most of my readers know that my family owns a jewelry store in Boulder, CO. I work there full time and love all the jewels! We recently started carrying a British line called Astley Clarke. They have the cutest pieces at a reasonable price. My favorite are her bracelet stackers. Think Alex & Ani, but more colorful and pretty! I own one of her weaved bracelets and LOVE it! Shop them on our website now, Hurdle’s Jewelry we can ship anywhere in the US!
