Gift Guide

Throughout my group of friends I am known as a phenomenal gift giver. It really is a talent of mine. Although sometimes it can seriously be a struggle of mine to find the perfect something. I have made a little guide on gift giving based on my friends personalities. The list includes a book, a candle, and a miscellaneous gift. Hope it helps!

  • The Bestfriend
    • Best friends deserve more heartfelt gifts. They would be happy with just about anything (but know you have something awesome up your sleeve). They are your sweet companion in life and their gifts should reflect your gratitude towards them.

 **Concert tickets, a surprise weekend trip, and a personalized phone case (can be made at Shutterfly) would also be an awesome gift for a best friend.


  • The Fashionista  
    •  We all have that friend who is right on cue with literally everything she wears. It can be hard to find something as glam as they are but I have found a few things that would meet the expectations of Rachel Zoe. Try to stick with blacks, golds, and nude tones for this friend. These colors are always in style.

**This friend enjoys the finer details in things so pretty fabrics are also good gifts, as well as jewelry (depending on the friends taste), and sweaters.


  • The Sporty Gal
    • Total opposite of me,it was hard to establish at first what this friend may want. But workout clothes can be chic too! Try to find things with beachy scents and blue tones. 
 It can be difficult to find a fun book for a sporty friend but a great alternative to that would be a subscription to a fitness magazine, my suggestion would be "Women's Fitness"

**Athletic clothes and accessories are a great gift for this friend.


    • The Old Soul
      • This friend is convinced she is born in the wrong era. She enjoys pastel color palettes,  can also be a bit quirky and enjoys the little things in life, like Zooey Deschanel.

    **Old fashion things like Vinyl (as seen above) and lace attire are great gifts. She also loves incense and vintage furniture.


    • The Classy Chick 
      • This girl is the modern day Audrey. She is a class act and finding gifts for her can be quite the task. Now a days it is difficult to find things worthy of a doll like her. Black, white, and reds are great color palettes and a strong perfumed scent would be good for her as well.

    **She enjoys the finer things in life, she is about quality not quantity. So splurge on one gift instead of buying a lot of cheap ones.
    • The Party Girl  
      • The life of the party, always surprising me with her wit and spontaneous spirit!  She is totally a fan of bright colors and spicy scents. 
    This friend would appreciate a magazine subscription compared to a lifestyle book. 
    I would get her a years subscription to Cosmopolitan magazine. 
    Always a good read ;]

    **A fun shot glass, pretty jewelry, and bright colored clothing would also make an awesome gift for this party girl.

    xoxo
