Mariah's Holiday Gift Guide 2018

Hello everyone! Happy December!!🎅🏼 It's now time to blast Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas is You' and eat a bunch of cookies. Okay so today I'm wrapping up some gift ideas I have for this year to give to your family and friends! Also, the holidays are made for spending time with loved ones and being grateful for what you have. 

These are just suggestions and ideas I have to share with everyone and I hope this guide can help you with your shopping! Comment on this post if you are excited for the holidays and if you have any other great ideas as presents!

Candles

For the ones who loved to light candles in their home and love that cozy feeling when candle is burning. Bath and Body is obviously a given place to get them, but Target, Yankee Candle, and Anthropology have really good candle scents too! 

​Ideas (ranges from low to higher prices)
Target- Pumpkin Spice
Target: Chesnut Macchiato 
B&BW: Marshmallow Fireside
B&BW: Sweater Weather
Yankee Candle: Christmas Cookie
Anthropologie: Volcano

Room Decor 

Throw pillows are a good idea to spice up a room!! I want this one above from Society 6!

This flip clock is sooo cool! I've seen it on youtube and it just flips to change the time and it looks so classic and sleek! I found this one on Amazon!
​Niceeshop Retro Flip Down Clock: $49.99

Hydroflask 

I LOVE HYDROFLASK!! I have a 40 oz. water bottle with the straw lid and use it everyday. Hydroflask bottles keep your water ice cold for more than 24 hours, can hold a lot of water, and are great for the environment instead of using a plastic water bottle. They are high quality and a little pricey, but I use mine everyday. I'm wanting a new one this Christmas and I'm wanting a smaller one to out in my backpack and cup holder. 
Sizes: 12 oz, 18 oz, 21 oz, 24 oz, 30, oz, and 40 oz
Prices: $29.95- $47.95

Movie Tickets

This is a fun date or family outing idea for someone! It can get expensive to go out to the movies, so it would be great to help someone out and gift tickets or a gift card to a movie theater. 

COffee themed products

Mugs are such a popular gift to give someone, BUT you can make it very personalized for that someone who loved tea or coffee. For parents or family members, you can make a mug and put pictures on it and customize it. A website you can do that on is Shutterfly and the site is inexpensive to create mugs and other items for gifts! I did this for my dad for Father's Day one year and he really appreciated it! PLUS right now on Shutterfly you can get 40% off on customizing a mug on the site!
Here are some other mugs that are cute to gift to friends and family!

Kenzie Elizabeth "I love you so much" mug
​Society6 "Hold on Let Me Overthink This" mug
​Target Solene Stoneware White mug

A Starbucks gift card would be a GREAT gift to give to someone if you are a fan of Starbucks and all their fun drinks! I use up mine pretty quick when the holidays are here. 

Technology

A wireless charger would be a great gift for someone who loves their phone and technology items like tablets and music player! Some of my friends are asking for this for Christmas and after researching them, they seem pretty cool! It's a pretty new item and is a popular gift to give this year, according to Amazon! They range from $15 to $50.
Samsung: $49.99
​Belkin Wireless Charging Pad: $49.95
Yootech Wireless Charger: $14.99

Wireless headphones or wireless EarPods can come so handy to use!! I got my Beats wireless headphones are the best!! They're amazing at noise blocking and come in so many colors. AirPods by Apple are really good too and are very small to wear. I heard the aipods are popular this Christmas season! 
Dr. Dre Beats Solo 3 Wireless Headphones: $299
Apple AirPods: $159

An Instax Mini poloroid camera is so fun to use and a great gift to give to a teenager or young adult! They come in so many different shapes and colors and can fix up any room! They're so cute and very easy to use. The only down fall is that you have to buy extra film packs separately and they can be pricey. 
Fujifilm Instax mini 9 Instant Camera: $50-69 

Beauty/Hygiene

Sephora has these great gift sets for sale that cater to almost all beauty categories! One that I really like is the Sephora Favorites Holiday Perfume Sampler where you get 15 perfume samples and you can bring in one of your favorites from the set to a Sephora location and get a full size of that perfume for free! It's at a great value for the gift set, plus getting a full size one later! Another gift set from Sephora Favorites is the Lashtash that comes with 10 mascaras and 8 of them are sample sizes and 2 are full sizes!! Great value as well!

Here is a gift set that is great for someone who loves lavender scent and Lush! This set is a relaxing scent of lavender and has a lotion, body wash, and bath bomb of the scent "Sleepy" by Lush! I would love this gift set because it's wrapped cute, the scent is incredible, and the quality of Lush is very good. Lush has amazing gift sets as well for the ones who love to relax with bath products! 
Dreaming of Christmas- Lavender Gift Set: $19.95

Another calming gift set is from Bath and Body Works and all of theirs from B&BW are really good and affordable!
Eucalyptus Spearmint Gift Set: $10

Gift Cards/ Tickets

Gift cards are a classic, but useful gift to give to anyone, ranging from children to adults! 
Some good ideas for gift cards

• Amazon
• Food (restaurants, ice cream, coffee, drive thru)
• Movie theater
• Theme park (Disney, Universal Studios, Knotts Berry Farm)
• Target (duh)
• Disney
• Macys & Nordstrom
• Clothing stores
• Gas station

Giving concert and event tickets is awesome gift idea to give to anyone, especially to ones who love concerts and sports games!! I've done this to my family and friends and they always have awesome reactions to it! Tickets to events can very in ranges and you can have so much fun and create memories with the ones at the event.
