Last Minute Gift Ideas

 

It is already half way through December, and the holidays are in full swing! I don't know about you guys, but I always seem to plan out gifts well, and then find myself last minute shopping, hah. For my final gift guide, I have come up with some last minute gift ideas! I included things that ship fast like Amazon and Shopbob. I also have a list of some other ideas for easy, meaningful gifts! (If I have any more ideas for my list, I will add them and update the post!)

LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEAS:


SWEATER SHAVER | HYGGE BOOK | BLANKET | LYCETTE DESIGNS GIFTCARD

SARAH FLINT SHOES

BALA BANGLES | GINGER JAR CANDLE | PAJAMAS

COOKBOOK | BIG GINGER JAR | SMALL GINGER JAR


SWEATER SHAVER: I definitely asked for one of these for Christmas, haha. But I feel like it is the gift that could be the most random, thoughtful thing. We all have that one favorite sweater that is starting to pill!

HYGGE BOOK: A social distance winter means you need to have a survival plan. This book on the Scandinavian practice of Hygge would be the perfect thing for the winter homebody. To go along with the cozy theme: BLANKET, GINGER JAR CANDLE, PAJAMAS, COOKBOOK.

LYCETTE DESIGNS GIFTCARD: A gift card can seem not as thoughtful, but when it is for something like a hobby a person has, I think its special that you remember their hobby! Lycette Designs is a small business needlepoint store. There are many other I love like Penny Linn Designs!

SARAH FLINT SHOES: I included these Sarah Flint shoes because now through December 17 (this thursday) SF is having FREE Overnight shipping with code SARAHFLINT-HOLIDAYOVERNIGHT. If you are new to Sarah Flint, you can also get $50 off by emailing/messaging me your name+order number or email used on the order- I will let my SF team know that you have made an order by giving them your order info, and you will get $50 off retroactively! If you miss their free shipping, you can always use my code SARAHFLINT-BALIBBYM for $50 off your first purchase!

BALA BANGLES: I have seen these all over, and think that it is a genius thing for the person who loves to work out but cannot go to the gym. It could also be fun to gift these with a month of virtual work out classes!

GINGER JARS: I was screaming when I found these two ginger jars-SMALL GINGER JAR + BIG GINGER JAR- on Amazon! They are lidded jars, so you could fill one up with treats, snacks, flowers and easily give it as a gift.




OTHER LAST MINUTE IDEAS:

WINE SUBSCRIPTION: I have always wanted to try this! I enjoy trying new wines, and being able to try new ones once a month would be such a fun gift. I have heard most about Winc, but there are other wine subscription services out there, too. 

MEAL SUBSCRIPTION: This is something I have wanted to also try, but with having Celiac, it seems a bit risky for me! This would be a great gift for a recent college grad, or someone who wants to improve their home cooking skills. Hello Fresh and Blue Apron are the ones I hear the most about.

GIFT CARDS FOR LOCAL FAVORITES: I have been doing my best to shop small this year, and feel like I have had a great balance! Our favorite small businesses/stores/restaurants etc., need our help this year! A gift card to anything one of these feels very thoughtful. A restaurant card could be fun to gift as a date night.

MOVIE NIGHT BASKET: This has been a go-to gift of mine since I was in elementary school. What I do is pick out a popcorn bowl like this one, some DVDs OR a Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime gift card, popcorn, candy, popcorn seasoning, and maybe a blanket. Use the bowl as your gift basket, and put everything in there. Voila, a perfect gift for all the nights at home! You could also do a similar thing for a cookie making basket, game night, wine tasting basket, basically anything you can think of!

VIRTUAL COOKING/COCKTAIL MAKING CLASSES: Another way to support a small business. I have seen so many local restaurants here that are offering virtual classes. This is how you gift an experience in 2020. I have also seen cocktail classes which would be equally as fun! I have seen some virtual needlepointing classes for the #grandmillennial in your life.

LIBRO.FM MEMBERSHIP: Libro.FM is a subscription for audiobooks. You can gift memberships, and purchasing them helps to support local bookstores. (There is also a free trial if you want to try it out for yourself!) A great option for the reader that also supports local businesses.



As always,

A Thanksgiving Look

Turtleneck  |   Skirt  |   Tights  |   Boots Thanksgiving is only one week away! I am excited to go home, and spend time with my family and friends. This is a holiday that is HARD to dress for. On one hand, you want to wear joggers and a big sweater because of all of the yummy food and treats. On the other hand, you want to dress up, or slightly dress up while still feeling comfy. Hence, the big dressing dilemma: how to create the right look for your kind of holiday? I like to dress it up a little , without wearing a cocktail outfit or gown, haha. I created this look for a dressy, casual look. It is an easy outfit to put together, and I bet you have some similar pieces in your closet! A turtleneck, plaid skirt and tights is such a classic fall look that is also great for this holiday. It is kind of an easy dressing equation too because it is so easy to mix and match what you have in your closet, or buy one new piece that you know will go with an...

Tied with Tartan

  Happy Monday, friends! It is December, and that means you can catch me wearing plaid about every day. I wore this dress the other week, and have showed it on my Instagram, but it is still on sale, so I thought this outfit needed its own post! Dress | Shoes c/o (use libby10 for 10% off at Margaux ) | Headband J. Crew always puts out some of the best holiday pieces, in my opinion. I love all the of the plaids because they just feel so classic and timeless, and I know I will be able to wear them for forever. This new dress caught my eye this year: it is plaid, a shirt dress, AND has ruffles! I was instantly sold, and even more so during their holiday sales. And, it is still on sale- its 50% off with an extra 20% off with code FESTIVE! I am wearing a size small, and it is not too short on me. I do think, as with all J. Crew, that it runs a tad big, so you could definitely size down (I miraculously could have fit into a xs). It doesn't button all the way down, which I think is a ...

My Gal Meets Glam Collection

Hello! You might have already figured this out, but I have a serious obsession with every single Gal Meets Glam dress and collection . I feel like I am starting to grow quite the collection of the insanely beautiful dresses. I recently did a poll on my Instagram, and you guys said that you wanted to see my collection. I have compiled pictures from older posts, and from my iPhone to show you! I have purchased all of these on sale, or received them as gifts (thanks mom). I think getting them on sale is my secret for buying Gal Meets Glam dresses. They are 100% worth the investment, and will always be in style because they are such classic pieces and silhouettes. A new collection comes out about every month, and every month I look at it, and think: I want it all!! The next drop is March 13th, and I am so excited!! I have added the name of each dress below the picture. Because these are from the "older" collections, I cannot find most of the links. But here are my tips if you...
