Though it might seem ages away, for those who celebrate, Christmas is slowly but surely approaching. I know exactly how it feels to get caught up in the thick of finals season, feeling like days are getting shorter and shorter, and always carrying the mental load of not knowing what to get any of your friends for the holidays during this tumultuous time of the year. So, to make this year’s holiday season just a little less stressful, I created a basically foolproof guide to help find the perfect gifts for all your friends this year. Â
THE MAKEUP AND SKINCARE GIRLIESÂ
I’m sure every friend group has at least one person obsessed with keeping up with the newest makeup and skincare items. For my friend group, that’s me! Here are a few things to get your beauty guru bestie that I’m sure they’ll love. Â
This one is a bit boring, but you can never go wrong with a Sephora gift card. Especially if you don’t know what your friend may or may not have a gift card is always a safe option. Â
This lip product is going viral right now and it’s no secret why. This is the ultimate one-and-done product. It is a beautiful gloss with a stunning color range, and I know it surely won’t disappoint.
Also viral for all the right reasons, this lip balm glides on like butter, is tinted and is so nourishing. Any makeup or skincare queen would love to have this in her collectionÂ
STREETWEAR AND FASHION ICONSÂ
I know taste preferences vary a lot for fashion, but any streetwear lover or even casual dresser would love a hoodie from Akimbo. You can’t really go wrong with a nice hoodie. These hoodies are high quality and shaped to fit all body types really well. Â
- Thrifted Style Bundle
For friends who love to wear vintage or thrift clothing, make them a style bundle! Find them pieces with unique textures, patterns and styles and tailor them to their tastes. Even if you can’t find good pieces at local thrift stores, places like eBay, Poshmark and Depop sell great secondhand pieces. Â
THE LULULEMON AND COFFEE RUN QUEENSÂ
Lululemon offers so many colors and styles of tank tops, and they’re so versatile to wear! None of these choices would be wrong to choose from. Â
- A gift card to a local coffee shopÂ
If you have a small cafĂ© in the area, it’s always a good idea to show them some support and fuel your friend’s caffeine addiction while you’re at it! Nothing screams happiness more than a free cup of coffee. Â
This one could pretty much never go wrong for anyone. Getting a fuzzy blanket is like getting a warm hug whenever you want. Bonus points if it has a cute design on it like these ones from Urban Outfitters. Â
And there you have it! That’s my foolproof gift guide for everyone in your friend group. Now that you have an idea of what to get them, you can spend less time stressing over gifts and more time getting into the Christmas spirit!Â
