Shopaholics Gift Guide 2019

Every year it feels like it gets harder and harder to buy gifts. I am the person this year that didn’t really have a list- there’s nothing I need and if I want something – I buy it. I am not trying to sound like a brat- I am just at that age. I asked for a handheld vacuum- yep, that’s where I am at in life. I try every Holiday season to buy things for people that I truly think they will like, or use..I HATE giving gift cards and I am not the person that buys things just to buy them. I’ll just hand you the $25 bucks if you don’t know what you want.

A lot of influencers I follow post gift guides and so I thought I would do the same. Some of these are things they have posted, so I by no means take credit for them. Check out influencer Katy Roach’s White Elephant Gifts Guide. Another favorite influencer of mine, AlmostReadyBlog blogged some great gifts from Nordstrom- check them out here!

I’m also going to post the links to this little gem of a gift (pictured below) that is perfect for teachers, bus drivers, co-workers etc. It;s inexpensive and SO easy to make- you don’t need to be crafty or creative! I also cannot take credit for coming up with this idea, I saw it on Pinterest and just executed it.

What you’ll need to buy: candy (I used Rolo’s and Twix because they were gold wrapped), white tissue paper, ribbon of your choice. I cut the tissue paper sheets in half and just crinkled them at the top to look like whipped cream. I suggest putting your straw in first and then filling the candy around it- it might be hard to get the straw in once the cup is filled. I put the latte packets in there, but you can really use anything of your choice including gift cards! BONUS- everything can be bought on Amazon!
