Holiday Gift Guide

Although black Friday is overdue, -- and maybe a gift guide before then would have been helpful -- I decided to make a gift guide for those who are last minute gift givers. Sometimes we procrastinate on gift giving because we want to be able to get something spectacular to those we love, but we have no idea what on earth to give them. I made three different categories of gift guides for all of those important individuals we need to surprise on the holidays.

Getting your best friend or gal pal something uber cute is one of the main initiatives for us females in the holidays. But sometimes we feel either we don't know what to get them, or they probably already have pretty much everything they want and need. What can I get her that she can use and does not already have? Well at the top are some items I think are perfect and super adorable and versatile for any of our female friends.

Getting the boys in our life -- whether it be our brother, guy best friend, boyfriend or father -- is sometimes a bit tricky. But you can get them something fashionable that they can use forever like the items above. Choose from an assortment of things, like a quirky watch for your artistic boyfriend, a rope bracelet for that guy friend, A Kenzo cap for that pesky brother that needs designer in their closet, and or a nice cologne or personalized leather notebook for your father.

Shopping for family members like a special aunt, newly born baby cousin, a style savvy uncle, etc, can sometimes be the hardest thing to do and sometimes are the most important gifts you need to give. Above are some great ideas or miscellaneous items that are best to give as gifts for those family members. Quirky housewarming items always do the trick. For example, a bowl with feet or a nice art book to place on a coffee table can be a great gift for any adult family member. A quirky onesie for the new addition to the family, a nice scented elegant candle for that cousin who just moved into that new home, a box of Dylan's candy to make life a little sweeter, or how about giving the gift of a pet with a fancy fish bowl?
