Because… everyone needs a bit of gift inspo.
Bring on the gifts! It’s our last post of the series, but did my friends save some creative ones for the end! I love personalizing my gifts in little ways and with some of these you can do just that. Whether it be picking scents, colors, or graphics, adding a personal touch to a present makes all the difference in making your gift a special one. In the end though, gifts are not what’s important. What is important is that you went out of your way to communicate that you love someone and that they play a meaningful role in your life.
No matter what the present, make sure the person knows you care about them, you see them, and you love them. If your gift doesn’t communicate that, words will do.

The Gift
Custom Album Cover, $12
I think this personalized Spotify plaque is such a creative gift that is perfect for any holiday or celebration. I love sentimental gifts with meaning behind them, which is why this is going to be one of my favorite gifts to give this holiday season!

The Gift
DIY Jewelry Box, $5.40 and Acrylic Paints, $10
During these quarantine, better-to-stay at home times, there’s definitely more time on hand and a great gift idea would be to try making your own DIY gift. Hobby Lobby, among other arts and craft stores, sell unfinished wood items such as coasters, picture frames, jewelry boxes, and wall hangings that with some acrylic paint, stencils, and varnish, you can make your own customized gift that’s not only easy, affordable, but also super thoughtful!

The Gift
Gleamin Vitamin C Clay Mask, $41.99
For Sarah, this holiday season is all about pampering and taking some time to rest, relax, and rejuvenate. That is why, for a gift, Sarah is recommending this Vitamin C Clay Mask from Gleamin, which even comes with a mask brush! Too bad it also doesn’t come with cucumber eye coverings and a cup of tea too!

The Gift
Le Labo Hand Soap, $23 and Hand Lotion, $33
Although it is on the pricier side, this hand soap and lotion duo is a very stylish gift. Because I have to wash my hands so often, I realize they’re very dry nowadays especially with the cold weather. What scent would I recommend? The Hinoki scent for sure, which is so calming and a unisex fragrance.
