Christmas is eleven days away…can you believe it?! I can’t! And with only ten shopping days left you might be struggling to find the perfect gift for your girlfriend, spouse, mom, sister, bff, co-worker or daughter. I’ve assembled some of my favorite recent-ish purchases. And the best part is these gifts are all under $100.
For the last year, I’ve been trying to clean up my skincare and makeup products. I’ve tested quite a few non-toxic, cruelty-free products. Kopari and Pacifica are easily two of my favorites. Their products smell delicious, feel incredible on the skin and won’t break the bank.
Another skincare product I’ve been obsessed with for a while is my Clarisonic Mia. My face is smoother, softer and has less breakouts. I only use it a few times a week, but that is all that is needed! It’s the most expensive item on my list, but it’s well worth it. I’ve had mine for two years now and highly recommend it. Just make sure to start out with the sensitive brush head to see what your face can handle.
A few months ago, I discovered the heating pad! I’m not sure how I never owned one, especially since I am always cold. Now I can’t live without it. I use it for cramps, lower back pains, and sore muscles. I also use it at work when my office is freezing. Yup, that’s right, I own not one, but two heating pads: one for home and one for work.
And while I’m laying in bed with my heating pad I’m wearing the most comfortable jogging pants I’ve ever owned. The Stars Above Fleece Joggers from Target are amazing. I started with just one pair, but hated when they were in the laundry. So now I have three pair. And if there were more colors available I would own more. Do yourself a favor and buy one as a Christmas gift and one for yourself.
My next recent favorite purchase is my bluetooth sleep headphones/headband. You can wear them to bed while listening to music, an audiobook or meditations. You can wear them during the colder months while jogging or walking. Or my personal favorite use - I wear them while making dinner to catch up on podcasts and to drown out the sound of my husband watching the dreaded news.
For any beauty lovers in your life, the Morphe x Jaclyn Hill eyeshadow palette is a must! I purchased this palette well over two years ago and use it just about every day. With the variety of options you can create looks for any occasion. And the price can’t be beat: 35 eyeshadows for $35!
And while you don’t need fancy makeup brushes to make these eyeshadows amazing, I’ve found the Morphe eyeshadow brushes to be some of my favorite for quick and easy application. The Morphe x James Charles brush set has every eyeshadow brush you’ll ever need.
The next two items on my holiday gift guide are digital and the two best apps I’ve every paid for. The first is the Tone It Up fitness app from Katrina Scott and Karena Dawn. I purchased this app over a year ago and just renewed my subscription. The fitness app has all types of workouts: yoga, strength training, cardio, kickboxing, barre and HIIT. The sessions range from ten minutes to sixty minutes and have modifications for all skill levels. The best part is I get to choose when and where I work out.
After a workout, I follow up my cool down with a ten minute meditation. I’ve tried both Headspace and Calm. For me, Calm is the clear winner. I prefer the background noises, program options and the narrator’s voice in Calm. They also have sleep stories narrated by Matthew McConaughey. If that’s not enough to peak your interest, I don’t know what is!
And the last item(s) in my self-care routine are oh-so-yummy chocolates. What girl doesn’t love chocolate? And the ones on my list are my favorites to receive in my stocking on Christmas morning.
I hope this gift guide offers up some inspiration to complete your Christmas list. What are your favorite self-care items for yourself or to give as gifts?
