accessories
Hey everyone! Next up on the Christmas gift guide series are gift ideas for athletes or people who love to work out. I picked out some unique gifts that anyone would love.

You can check out my previous post here, if you need gift ideas for makeup lovers. You can also read my old holiday gift guide from last year here. I hope you find this gift guide helpful :)

Duffel bag | Hat | Fitbit | Hair ties | Ear buds | Sweater | Yoga mat | Hidrate Spark water bottle | Sports bra | Blotting sheets | Leggings | Necklace | Shoes

If you know someone who likes monitoring steps and things like that, than I would definitely suggest buying a Fitbit. They keep track of your heart rate, steps, sleep, exercise, weight, etc. It really does it all!

Another good gift idea is to buy a Hidrate Spark water bottle. If you know someone that has trouble drinking enough water throughout the day than this is a great gift for them! This water bottle syncs with your phone and sends you constant reminders to drink water and measures your water intake.

Cute clothes are definitely an essential for any athlete. These black leggings are so cute and have a fun mesh detailing on the leg. The sweater is also a really nice gift, because it can be worn for working out in or on a day to day basis. The cross on the bottom adds a lot to the sweater also.

If you don't know the sizes of the person you are buying a present for, than you can always buy jewelry. This necklace is super dainty and pretty and symbolizes strength.

Thanks so much for reading and I hope this helped you with your gift giving this season!

2016 Christmas Gift Guide | Makeup Lover

2016
Hey everyone! Christmas is coming right up so I put together a few things that I think would be perfect gifts for someone who is a makeup fanatic. I did a holiday gift guide last year too that you can check out here. I hope you all find this useful :)

Christmas gift guide - makeup
Victoria's Secret perfume set | makeup brush set | Ciaté nail polish set | Too Faced makeup set | makeup bag | Sephora mask set | straightener | First Aid Beauty set | Stila liquid lipstick set | The Body Shop gift set | Clarisonic mia 2 | Becca palette | Huda eyeshadow palette | Ardell false eyelashes | Philosophy set

I think sets of things are perfect to buy for people! The Body Shop has great deals on holiday sets around Christmas, and they all smell so good! To save money, you can also buy sets and split them up to give to people.

Face masks and skincare sets are also great presents, especially during winter because usually skin starts to get dry.

Face and eyeshadow palettes are always nice to buy, especially if you know the favorite brands of the person you are shopping for. If you know someone who is just starting out with makeup, you could also buy a makeup brush set with all the basic brushes in it.

Hopefully you found this post useful! If you want more ideas, check out my post from last year here.

Inexpensive/Free Valentine's Day Gifts to Give

activities

Did you just spend all your money but want to give your loved one a great Valentine's Day present? Or do you just not want to break the bank buying an extravagant gift for someone? Sometimes the best gifts you can give are free! Here are some easy, inexpensive and free Valentine's Day gifts to give to your loved ones! I hope you find these ideas useful!



Breakfast in Bed

On Valentine's Day, you can wake up early, and surprise your parents or roommates or anyone else that lives with you with a nice breakfast in bed. Everything you need for this will probably be in your kitchen. It's a very thoughtful and easy thing to do for a loved one! You can get a tray and put a glass of orange juice, hot chocolate or coffee on it, along with other food. You can make your loved one's favorite breakfast food or go out to the store and buy it beforehand if you're not good at cooking. To make the tray look pretty, you can also add berries to the plate, and put flowers in a glass. 

 Coupon Book

Coupon books are creative and thoughtful gifts to give someone. You can use pretty scrapbook paper and make the coupons yourself, or you can search on Google or Pinterest for coupon templates. Some ideas for coupons to make are for- making breakfast, lunch or dinner, a movie date, washing the dishes, washing the car, feeding the pets, cleaning the house, walking the dog, a hug, etc. You can include chores or fun activities in your coupon book.

Picture

Another gift idea is to print out a nice picture on photo paper of you and the person you're giving the gift to. You can buy an inexpensive picture frame at Michael's or Marshalls. Michael's always has a 40% or 50% off coupon every week in their weekly ad.

Photo Album

You can also buy a photo album from a craft store like Michael's and decorate the front of it to make it look cuter. You can also print out a bunch of photos from your phone or computer at Target, CVS or Walgreens. This gift won't take long to make, and it shows that you put a lot of though into it.

Make Treats

If you enjoy cooking or baking, you can make sweet treats for your friends! You can make chocolate covered pretzels, brownies, cookies, cupcakes, or any other types of treats. You can buy the mix to make some of these things or you can make them from scratch. Chocolate covered pretzels are pretty easy to make. All you need to do is melt chocolate, and quickly dip the pretzels into the chocolate. Then put them on some wax paper and pour sprinkles or other toppings on them. You can do this for chocolate covered strawberries or any other type of food you want to cover in chocolate.

Playing Cards

A really thoughtful gift idea is to get a stack of playing cards and put pictures on the side with the suit. Print out pictures on your printer or get them printed at a drugstore. You can stick the pictures on one suit or on all of the cards. The pictures can be of anything you want, and when the person you give the cards to plays with them, it will remind them of you.

Picnic/Day Out

A fun idea for Valentine's Day is to take someone on a picnic or a day out. You can pack your favorite foods and go to a park near you. This is a great way to spend quality time with your friend or loved one!
