2020's been a year to forget. Let's do the Holiday Season right & give them something to remember.
I've included a little bit of everything.
Affordable & luxurious options for mom, dad, the BFF, yourself, or the man in your life (referring to your dog, obviously).
FOR DAD

Might be purchasing this for dad...but scoop yourself one while you're at it. I've never tried a massager that really gets in there. They typically don't have enough pressure, or the right kind of pressure, ya feel me?
​
At an affordable price ($59) this is a no-brainer for anyone on your list.
The stocking stuffer every dad appreciates. Socks.
​
Take your sock game up a notch with these super thick heat-holders. Snag them on Amazon, Kohls, or Walmart.
Chances are your Dad is currently working from home. If he doesn't have a proper office setup, this is the perfect gift. I tested out what felt like 1,000 office chairs at Staples and this is by far the most comfortable. Makes for an affordable, well thought out gift.
FOR YOUR BFF
Sister, BFF, sister-in-law...any woman between the ages of 20-35 will appreciate these beauties.
Travel snob? Your best answer is Beis. Trendy, durable & stylish, Beis luggage and travel bags offers a range of price points, depending on your budjet.
The Carry-On Roller
$198
The Cosmetic Case
$58
THE BF JACKET
You can't go wrong with one of the most trendy fashion items of the season. Not to mention, warm & cozy. Best part? You don't have to be spot on with sizing. The more oversized, the better.
She wants it AND she needs it.
Quality makeup brushes are typically things we don't like to drop $$$ on, but always have our eyes on. Lulu's offers a set of 5 of Sigma's most-wanted brushes for $73 (valued at $100). Whether she's a beauty guru or and girl-next-door, she'll appreciate a useable, long-lasting gift.
I swear by their ​Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser, B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum, and Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil.
Trendy and effective, Drunk Elephant offers a wide range of clean, cruelty-free product with the CUTEST packaging. They offer pre-packed sets, however, I'm all for purchasing individuals and making my own little gift basket! Adds a little something special.
​
Next up? Lingerie. Do you know a single girl who has enough undies? Enough said.
​
Adore Me offers gorgeous Holiday-inspired sets at a reasonable price.
​
Victoria's Secret, a classic, is consistent with sizing & always has a deal on undies. If you're not yet obsessed with their seamless hipster, let me put you ON.
​
For something a little more unique, Kat the Label is an Aussie brand with dainty, feminine designs. An affordable price point & a small business, she's a great option.
And, for something a little more luxurious, Fleur du Mal combines Italian knit jersey with French leavers lace & lustrous silks.

Ceramic Aromatherapy Diffuser
We could all use a little extra "zen" in our lives rn. A diffuser is one of those things I always eyed but never purchased for myself. Once Lulu's added the Paddywax Diffuser to their gift guide...well, I knew I had to have it. I trust all things Lulu's.
Essential Oil Diffusers can...
​
+ improve sleep
+ relieve stress & anxiety
+ relax the mind & body
+ boost your immune system
+ help with weight management
+ improve respiratory health
+ increase energy
+ calm emotions
+ boost memory and concentration
+ provide pain relief
FOR MOM
Chances are your mom suffers from some sort of chronic pain. Mine deals with consistent lower arm/hand pain from years of owning a hair salon. No matter the area of the body, Amazon has a solution. With a little digging you can find an affordable, highly rated (4.5-5 star) device to help relieve some of her pain. I cannot think of anything more meaningful and useful than something that helps her get through her day a little easier.
Don't sleep on mom-beauty!

​
HULU Live TV
will run you $55/month
If your mom is anything like mine, she works her butt off & puts everyone else first. She rarely makes time for self-care and I've never once seen her "splurge" on a beauty item for herself (by splurge I mean purchase any non-essential bath item).
​
I use every gift-giving opportunity to find a quality beauty product she'll love but would never purchase for herself. The Ritual of Karma (a relatively new brand to me) is the perfect balance between luxury & affordability (I trend lightly...she would KILL me if I spent an exuberant amount on beauty items!!).
One of the best gifts I've gotten my parents? An Amazon Fire Stick. Let's be clear - if your mom isn't tech-savvy you're signing up for a life of frustrating questions and reconnecting wifi, but it's worth it. Walk her through the setup, get rid of cable ($$$$) and sign her up for Hulu Live TV (throw in the first few months as part of your gift!). The act of saving her money & setting up the stick is worth more than the monetary value itself.
$50 for a body cream, shower gel, body scrub & mist
The biggest flex in this bundle is the body scrub, followed by the body cream. The sugar-based scrub is potent & thick - it does exactly what an exfoliating scrub should do. I cannot stand when an "exfoliator" dissolves within seconds. The wet-sand consistency and rich, subtle scent make it feel like a luxurious European product. & the cream is a CREAM, ladies. This is thick & equally as luxurious. Your skin will thank you.
Another beauty favorite (of both mine & moms) is the Not Your Mothers collection.
​
+ affordable
+ effective
+ smells amazing
+ lots of smaller options;
perfect for stocking stuffers
+ the name
+ favorite: any of the butter hair masque (I prefer the individual packets) and the glisten up spray
In line with self-care, opt for a luxurious candle & cozy slippers. Throw in PJ's (I love the Adore Me Matilda PJ's) and she'll be set for the winter.

Another questionable one...who are we buying for here?? Regardless, I've had my eye on this handmade bowl from Etsy for months now. The design is chic & classic and makes for a beautiful gift for your pup, yourself, or a fellow dog-mom.
Another Etsy find! These super cute pup stockings are a necessity.
$20 each!
