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!

Valentine's Day Gift Guide for the Girls/Women In Your Life

beauty

Here's another Valentine's Day post! I have put together a few things that I think would be great gifts for your girlfriend, friend, mother or any other type of woman or girl in your life. You don't have to spend loads of money on a gift, because just writing a nice, thoughtful card will show them how much you love and appreciate them. I hope this post inspires or gives you ideas for what to give to your loved one!


Items: Eyeshadow palette ($49); lipstick and blush set ($36); chocolate ($15); necklace ($52); notebook ($11.50); flair pens ($22); nail polish ($7.59); coffee mug ($6.99); earrings ($25); key ring ($12); tumbler ($18); bracelet ($28); purse ($95); t-shirt ($28)

The Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette would be a great gift to give a makeup lover for Valentine's Day. This palette smells like chocolate and is the third palette in the Too Faced chocolate palette collection. The Too Faced Melted Kisses& Sweet Cheeks set would also be the perfect gift to give someone who loves makeup. You can give this set by itself to someone, or you can break down the set into 3 presents, each with a lipstick and a blush. If you really wanted to, you could even break the set into 6 individual presents. Another gift idea is to buy roses or other kinds of flowers, and give them to your loved one with a box of chocolate. Many stores sell flowers and chocolates close to Valentine's Day. Some smaller gifts you could give are a nail polish, tumbler cup coffee mug or key chain. You can also never go wrong with giftcards or jewelry! I really like Alex & Ani bracelets and other jewelry that have special meanings associated with them. Alex & Ani is all about being positive. Journals with nice messages and purses are also nice gifts to give someone. 

Remember that you don't need to give your loved one something tangible, in order to show how much you love and appreciate them! Thanks for reading!
