The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for EVERYONE On Your List

Velvet Bodysuit | Sparkle SkirtΒ  (Similar)

Before we begin, my HTML is about to make throw my laptop out of a window. This post is not correctly spaced, but I can’t, I can’t, I just can’t anymore.

ANYWHOOO, How is your Christmas shopping going?? It’s no easy feat finding that perfect gift for everyone on your list. But today I’m here to help! I’ve made this ultimate holiday guide to help find something for EVERYONE on your list! Here we go!

For the traveler:

Passport Holder: There are so many pretty passport holder options. This one in particular is my favorite.

Luggage Tags: These are also a great gift for a couple getting married.

Carry On Bag: I am a big believer in never checking a bag. I’m rather attached to my clothes and

Camera Bag:Β Camera bags are a must while travelling, but who says they have to be ugly?? Finding a classy bag is an awesome gift!

Sunglasses: A nice pair of sunglasses is always a great gift!

For the Wine Lover:

Wine Socks: These are just adorable!
Winosaur Top: This makes me giggle every time I see it. This is perfect for a night in with a glass of wine.
Wine Cooler: We got one of these for a wedding present and it is amazing! I highly recommend for you, your friends, and everyone else on your list.
Wine Cork Tray:Β I just think this is so fun for your wino girls night!
Wine In Literature: Love wine? Love books? Perfect gift!

For your Blogger Bestie:Β 
Hint Hint, in case you read this blog and I’m on your Christmas list! πŸ˜‰Β 
Happiest When I’m Blogging T-Shirt:Β Because duh!
Glitter Slippers: Bloggers spend a lot of time cozy on their couch. Glam it up with some fabulous glitter slippers!
Pineapple Business Card Holder: When we’re out and about at events, we need to hand out cards while we network! This is the cutest holder to keep your cards organized.
2018 Planner: The new year is coming and we need ALL the plans!
Giant Knit Blanket: Ok seriously on my Christmas list. This is the perfect gift for bloggers. We can stay cozy while we work, and it will look fabulous in Instagram photos.

ForΒ Your Mom:
Home is Where Your Mom Is Pillow: How accurate is this? I love this quote.
Mother Daughter Bestie Bracelets: My mom is my bestie, what about yours?
Mom Mug: This one says “Whatever life throws at you, at least you don’t have ugly children.” I love a good sassy mug.
Spa Kit: Handling children, even grown children, is work. You mom deserves to relax.
Tote Bag: Mom’s have everything you could ever need handy, but they need somewhere to put all that crap.

For Your Dog:
Lol this was the easiest category for me to come up with, go figure.
Dog Treat Puzzle: Stimulate your little pup’s brain with a dog treat puzzle! Maybe it will prevent them from doing dumb things like running down the street in the rain. No, just my dog? Cool.
Big Dog Treats: Keep dog treats handy all year long with this monster box of treats.
Dog Jammies: We wear matching pajamas for Christmas. Obvi, your dog needs to match too.
Chuck It!: Does anyone else get tired of throwing the dang tennis ball 576 times a day? The Chuck It! is going to be your new best friend.
Personal Dog Towel: These are precious and will make bath time way more fun.

For The Men:
Whiskey Dispenser: Class up their drinking with a whiskey dispenser. Make them the envy of all their pals.
Personalized Flask: Apparently, men like drinking because I have two alcohol related things on this list.
Shave Kit: No more drug store razors. Your man needs a professional shave kit. Stephen hasn’t gotten rid of his beard, even though “No Shave November” is DEFINITELY OVER (I’m not bitter, you’re bitter). However, I did get him one of these awhile back, and when he is shaving it makes such a difference.
Wood Watch: These are so unique and pretty. They are much different than they typical man-watch.
Magnetic Wristband: So cool. These are great for the handy man. Any nails, screws, whatever will stick to their wrists so they don’t have to keep up with them in their mouth or pocket. Then they are easily accessible and safely located.

WHEW! That was a lot. Are you so excited for Christmas?? What is your favorite gift you are giving this year?

    Such a handy guide! I had done all of my Christmas shopping except for the office Secret Santa, which I was really struggling with. She loves to travel, so I took inspiration from this gift guide and got her a passport holder and some cute luggage tags. Thank you so much for helping me finish my shopping! I feel so much better knowing it’s all done!
