Here are some of my ideas for your gal, but even all of these can be personalized.
#1 CANDY! or chocolate!
every girl has a favourite, find out what her's is :)
it's thoughtful and like what? $2 for a couple?!
#2 Hand cream
A lot of girls already have a favourite which you've probably seen her pull out of her purse every day, but if she doesn't here's two of my favs:
Soap & Glory hand food- $5 at Sephora, Shoppers Drugmart
(smells like marshmallows)
EOS hand lotion- $5 at Ulta, Chapters, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Canadian Super Store
(smells like: green=cucumber/ pink=berries)
P.S. girls are huge suckers for cute packaging like this. it is pretty much always a safe bet to choose anything with cute packaging...
just remember to pick something small and travel-size for a purse, and maybe try choose one that has her fav scent (vanilla? mint? strawberry? coconut? etc)
#3 Bath and Body Works anti-bacterial things
For $5 here you can get something great.
Their anti-bacterial things are super popular and a personal fav of mine.
They have a ton of different flavour soaps, just flip the cap open and choose a fav. This is my favourite.
Fresh Sparkling Snow.
They have 3 different kinds of antibacterial soap: moisturizing, deep cleansing, and foaming. If she already owns these and only buys one kind, check the bathroom. If not, then she probably won't be picky so just pick up any.
Or you go for their ever popular travel hand sanitizers. These are pretty much always 5 for $5.
There's literally about 50 flavours so if that's too overwhelming, they also have bundles for $5 like this one.
Alone each of these is $1.50 so there's always the option of just buying one.
#4 Cute bath things
LUSH is perfect for this! Girls love cute soaps or bath bombs, but it's not something they really buy for themselves. This makes it a perfect gift. Unless your girl isn't in to or is sensitive to scented things then there's a guarantee she'll love this.
Try Lush bath bombs and bubble bars range in between $4-10 and are all-natural and deliciously smelling.
They also have limited-edition Christmas ones like this "Magic Wand" which has my personal favourite scent of the Snow Fairy collection which only comes out for Christmas.
If you don't have a LUSH near you, try other bath/body -esque places. As long as it's small and cute, you're good to go!
#5 "Costume" jewelry
Don't take this term too literally!! "Costume jewelry" is just the term for inexpensive jewelry- something trendy but not real gold or silver or diamonds etc.
Right now stackable rings and bracelets are in.
You can find really trendy and inexpensive jewelry like this at Forever 21, H&M, Topshop, Etsy, eBay, Aldo Accessories and even little boutiques in trendy areas of the city. Anything from $2 to $15 will get you something like this.
#6 Lip balm
You can never have enough lip balm. Girls use and loose these like crazy. Again, maybe she already has a favourite but if not, here are 5 popular ones:
EOS lip balm- adorable packaging but not the most moisturizing.
around $4 at Walmart, Shoppers, Ulta
Say no to carrots lip balm- these are great and the melon one smells amazing.
around $3 at Target
Jack Black lip balm- tried this once and it was amazing I want to get it.
$7.50 at Sephora
Burt's Bees lip balm- I love the pomegranate one.
$3 at Walmart and pretty much everywhere
Rose bud salve- Not the biggest fan of this but it's somehow everyone's favourite.
$6 at Sephora
#7 Air Freshener for her car or room
Car air fresheners are everywhere but since we're already taking a trip to bath and body works, I'll show you what you can get from there.
They sell these "car clip backs" for $3.50 and you can fill it with a multitude of scent refills each for $3.
If she doesn't have a car, then you can always pick up a little candle. They have tons of yummy Christmas ones!
This is my absolute fav!
The mini ones are $3.50 or 2 for $5
The small ones are $10 or 5 for $20
The large ones are $20 or 2 for $30
If you're feeling like being a little more ambitious you can always throw in a roller-ball of her favourite perfume, or her favourite lipstick, or something she's about to run out of. It will give your stocking a bit more "umphh", however she's bound to love everything else in there too. :)
And just another idea- but wrap each of these things in tissue paper, that way when she looks inside everything isn't immediately visible and each item can be pulled out and unwrapped. It's just a lot more fun :)
I hope that helps, happy Christmas shopping!
Until next time,
xoxo V
