Time for another Holiday Gift Guide!
Like I mentioned last time, when I think of gifts for people I try to think of things they like to do and build little packages around that idea. This week I was thinking of those friends who like sparkly, shiny, and shimmery things, except I didn’t just want to buy them shimmery nail polish. (What I would probably default to in a rush.) I was looking for some alternatives and found some items that I think would be fun to give as the gift of sparkle and shine!
As a heads up, some of the gift guides feature items from shops that I’ve teamed up with. Please know that I’m only featuring shops that I have personally asked, and they were shops that I was actually shopping from for gift ideas.
1. iPhone Cases (solid, striped). I really love the
Kate Spade phone cases but can never justify getting one for myself. As a gift, though? I’ll take it! And heads up, if your friend isn’t into stripes, the solid ones are on sale at Neiman Marcus through Thursday.
2. Metallic Dot Headwrap. At first I thought this was a scarf, which would have been excellent, but it’s actually a headwrap. That kinda makes me like it even more! Seeing as how it’s on sale right now for only $7.50, it would make a great addition to a gift set with some other smaller items.
3. Watches. Watches can vary in all sorts of price ranges and significance, so it can either be a stand-alone gift, or if you go on the cheaper end, you can combine it in a gift set with other things. Always an excellent option, whether it’s shiny or not.
4. Glitter Graphic Tee. Not sure if you can tell from the picture, but “LOVE” is covered in glitter. This would be so cute under a black blazer with jeans and colored pumps, or with a grey blazer and white jeans. Or pair it with a skirt and a denim jacket. What’s great about it is that the glitter adds a special dimension for added interest and allows you to dress it up or down! Or, I mean…your
friend who you’re giving this to can dress it up or down…err…
6. Glitter Notebooks. Try some schnazzy little notebooks from J.Crew Factory for a very practical but sparkly gift!
7. Burgundy Crossbody Bag. While this bag isn’t really shiny or sparkly, it’s a nice luxurious color. Burgundy and gold? Um, YES. Love it! And of course…Target. I love that it’s from target. That place never lets you down.
What are other gifts you could get someone along the lines of sparkle and shine?
