What I'm Giving For Christmas 2014

Hi there! I don't quite know where my brain was when I was taking these photos, but it was clearly not with me as I forgot to take a few photos of things I got people before I gave them away. Real smooth, eh?

Since there are so many gift guides out there (and I've made a few myself), I thought I'd try something a bit different and show you exactly what I'm giving my loved ones this Christmas. HOWEVER, if your name is Akila, Danielle, James, Lauren, Marianna, Lucy, Kitty, or Kate (you know who you are), please feel free to ignore this post and NOT read it and spoil my fun and your surprise until the 19th.

Thanks guys. :)

Holiday Gift Guide: Secret Santa Edition (Under $18)

Hi there! While giving is lovely during the holiday season, it can also be very pricey and can take a toll on your wallet. There are always those people that you want to get a gift for, but don't have much money to spend on them. That's why I thought it'd be helpful to share some of my ideas for cute little gifts that you can get your friends that won't break the bank. These gifts will also be a bit more gender-friendly compared to my previous one that was just for her. Of course, there will be some gits that only girls will probably enjoy, but there are also a few bits for him as well.

Enjoy!

Hi there! It's that time of year again. Yep, you guessed it - holiday season! Every year, I get really pumped about how it's all super festive and how I can buy people really nice gifts and make them happy. Late-November/December has been the major highlight of my year ever since I started making some money, and this year is no different.

Since I'm so stoked about the holidays, like last year, I'll be doing my very best to inject some inspiration into your brain for when you're out shopping for gifts for your loved ones.

Father's Day Gift Guide 2014

Hi there! I feel like compared to Mother's Day, Father's Day is not nearly as hyped up as it should be. I mean, c'mon guys, your old men should be appreciated, too! So I put together a little gift guide for you guys of things I'd get my dad and things I think would be good for other dads, as well. I've included more inexpensive gifts and pricier ones that you might want to split with other family members.

Anyway, this post was supposed to go up on Wednesday, but somehow, I`d scheduled it, but it never went up... Which sucks because that messes with my schedule, but here it is anyway.

Valentine's Day Gift Guide 2014: 10 Things to Get Your Galentine

Hi there! If you're celebrating Valentine's Day tomorrow with your girlfriends, maybe you want to treat them to a little something because you know, they've been so awesome and supportive and stuff. If you need any ideas and have a bit of money to spend, keep reading! But remember, if you're struggling to find a gift and just can't seem to find any inspiration, chocolate is an absolutely wonderful, wonderful gift because I've only met one girl so far in my life who doesn't like chocolate.

Christmas Gift Guide: Fashion Lovers

Hi there! Today, I have for you a gift guide for all the fashion lovers in your life. If you're going into this post thinking that there'll be lots of clothes, that is one thing this gift guide will not include. That might seem a bit odd to you, but I find that the people who love fashion are also really picky about what they wear (I'm guilty!), so save yourself and your loved one the grief of faking their excitement over your clothing by just not getting them clothes.

However, here are a few ideas for every price point for what to get them instead. There are items under $!5, $40, and some more luxurious items that are more expensive. And no, all the items under $15 aren't $14.99 and the same goes for the other categories (I just hate it when gift guides are like that!) They're all items that I'd love to get myself because I am just a teensy bit obsessed with fashion. Just a bit.

I also put up a gift guide for DIY-ers this morning, so check that out if you need to get some crafty people some gifts.

Christmas Gift Guide: DIY-ers

Hi there! Today, I have for you a gift guide for all the DIY-ers in your life. Yep, you know the one who would rather make something as opposed to going out and buying one from a store. She'd love at least one thing from this list. I've divided this gift guide into two very general categories: one for the cardmakers/scrapbookers and one for the clothing DIY-ers/aspiring fashion designers. 

I have a ton of gift ideas, so I think putting together a little mini basket of this stuff would make your loved one would just be awesome. 

Also, I'm going to have a gift guide for fashion lovers coming up in just a few hours, so be on the lookout for that!

DIY: Gold Star Hair Bow

Hi there! I was inspired by the Christmas spirit and the Rodarte star hair clips to create this lovely statement hair piece.  You might have seen this hair bow before if you've checked out my giveaway (which is open until the 12:00 am EST on the 12th). If you don't live in the States or Canada but still wanted to make something like this, you're in luck! It's a bit time-consuming, but it's not hard at all. If you have an hour or two on your hands, this is an awesome project that would make a really pretty Christmas gift for any girly girls in your life.
