Get ready to get gifting. I’ve scoured the internet for some of my personal present picks to recommend. These items make great girlfriend gifts, nothing is over $30, and they’re small enough to fit in a stocking. The prices get lower as you scroll. Treat yourself, someone on your list, or simply share this link so others will know what to get you without breaking the bank.
{Ban.do Back Me Up Mobile Charger, $30.00} Everything ban.do sells I instantly fall in love with based on the cute factor alone. For a split second I want everything and then catch my breath. This charger though, it’s fashion and function. My iPhone is always going dead and a charger with some character would be worth remembering to keep in tow.
{Dogeared Midi Love Sparkle Ring, $22.00} Let this sterling silver ring be a little reminder to the recipient that love is at their fingertips. Prefer gold? For $2 more there’s a version that’s dipped in 14 karat gold.
{The Body Shop Mini Brush Set, $19.00} Most of my makeup brushes are from The Body Shop. They hold up well and don’t shed like most brushes. They’re also cruelty free and this set is small enough to throw in your bag for primping on the go.
{Blinc Mascara Duo, $18.00} I got turned on to Blinc after asking one of the experts at Sephora for mascara that won’t flake and leave me with dark circles. Blinc’s formula tubes each lash and stays put better than many mascaras. The travel size is under $20 and comes with the primer so that product will work its best.
{Essie 2014 Holiday Kit, $15.00} This kit includes five mini nail polishes in Essie’s 2014 holiday shades. As Beauty.com reads, there’s “Mademoiselle (the most classic grown-up pink), Smokin’ Hot (stone-cold fox gray) Butler Please (indulgent bright blue) Bahama Mama (warm, rich, creamy deep plum), and Jazzy Jubilant (chromatic confetti-like glitter.”
{Charmsies Iron-In Star Shaped Hair Charms, $12.00} I’ve never seen a hair accessory quite like Charmsies. Simply use your flat iron to design the design to your hair. Expect lots of compliments. They look so cool on and people take notice. My friends at Nich Boutique carry them as does Nordstrom.
{Bite Beauty Mix N’ Mingle Lip Minis, $12.00} After reading all the rave reviews I may have to treat myself to this gift too. Color is long lasting and product won’t dry out that pretty pout.
{Head Massager, $6.00} Some people absolutely LOVE these things. I am not one of those people but I can name a few people that I know would love to receive this and you may too.
