Let’s be real – women aren’t always the easiest to shop for. I’ve had exes tell me, “Lauren, you already have everything. It’s so hard shopping for you.” I’m the kind of girl whereas if I want something, I typically get it for myself. Here’s the Holiday Gift Guide I’ve put together for women like me who love being up to date with technology, anything dog related and is on the adulting train (down feather pillows are very exciting when you’re 29).
Being a Digital Marketing Manager, sometimes I’m taking photos for client’s social media when I’m at shoots and photo quality is huge. I love the ultra-wide telephoto lens and night mode. I’ve taken photos on my iPhone X in the same settings as my friends who have the iPhone 11 Pro and the 11 has won each time.
This adorable tree topper is perfect for dog lovers. For every topper purchased, a meal is provided for 30 shelter dogs.
This charging stand charges iPhones, Apple Watches and Airpods. One thing that I’m not a fan of are cords hanging over my nightstand. This device is definitely on my own Christmas list so that I can have less clutter and still be able to charge my devices.
Alright, this is definitely an “adulting” gift. Am I the only one who hates turning on the bathroom light in the middle of the night when you’re half asleep to go to the bathroom? Thanks to those ‘snakes in toilets’ videos, I’m scarred from going to the bathroom in the dark. This is a practical device that will show you the toilet and not hurt your eyes as badly as the bathroom light.
When it comes to falling asleep, I toss and turn like crazy. I’ve tried pretty much everything. The hotels I’ve stayed at recently have had down feather pillows and I’ve been able to fall asleep shortly after. I purchased these one night when I was once again struggling to fall asleep and I absolutely love them.
I have tried plenty of moisturizers over the years, and this is the only moisturizer that doesn’t have any sort of negative reaction on my skin. It is a little bit pricey, but definitely worth it. A little bit truly goes a long way with this moisturizer.
Scandal fans will definitely recognize these glasses. These Crate and Barrel glasses are classy and cute and will definitely be the talk of the next wine night. Olivia Pope will approve.
My last Anker charger recently bit the dust after years of use. I decided to upgrade this time around to a portable charger that does multiple charges, as the one I had previously only had enough power for one charge. When you remove the usb, the charger turns off and conserves power for future charges. This charger has been great so far and fits easily in my purse for storage.
This necklace is perfect for the dog mom in your life. I’m a woman of simplicity which is why this necklace stands out to me. I have a lot of “fashion jewelry” that isn’t real gold or silver and I’m starting to make the switch over to real jewelry.
Customized gifts are some of my favorite things to give. I have previously gotten a customized portrait of my friends’ dogs done from an Etsy artist located in Russia. She did a wonderful job with the portrait to the left and you can find her here. If you’re looking for a closer artist located in the United States, you can find some here.
This is another item that is on my Christmas wishlist. I’m not the best at putting away my styling tools after usage and I want this to help keep me organized. This organizer has 3 sections for tools, so my drawers aren’t completely full of all of my products.
One thing I don’t do enough of is having self-care nights. When I do take baths, it does get a little uncomfortable sitting in the tub after a while. This pillow definitely helps with that. Just picture it now, wine glass in hand, music playing and relaxing with this pillow.
I recently purchased an SUV over the summer and I want to take it on more beach and picnic trips. The one thing I’m missing? A good blanket. This blanket offers plenty of room and fits 7 people, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally rolling over into the sand.
Another thing that has long been on my wishlist is a good beach chair. This chair definitely has everything I’ve been looking for. You can sit or lie down on this chair and put your drinks or snack on the side tray. It even has an opening by the head area to read a book if you’re lying downwards on your stomach.
