We can all think of women in our lives who give it all. They give of themselves with their time, energy, strength, and it often goes unnoticed. Here are just a few ways you can give back to the women who give it all. Many of these items are ones that I use regularly, but feel free to read the notes on each item for more information. The best gifts are well thought through. For instance, a bath bomb may seem like a great gift... but what about the mama's that don't have time to take a bath? Read on for thoughtful gift ideas for all the women who give it all.
This book is one for every woman who has ever felt like life is not what they expected it would be -so basically every woman ever. This book has spoken to me about the desires of my heart and how God put them there. 10/10 would recommend to anyone anytime!
This book is on my "Currently Reading" list, but it is already spoken so much truth to my heart in the midst of insecurity. Hayley encourages the everyday woman to take thoughts captive and to not merely listen to whatever your mind says about yourself, but instead to fill your mind with Truth and talk back.
3) Cozy Slippers [BLACK FRIDAY SALE]
Need I say more?
Okay, when you see the price tag of these, you might not think it's achievable or affordable. But my husband got me a pair of these for my birthday this year and they are worth every penny if you are someone who loves to lounge and live in leggings when possible.
5) Revlon One Step Hair Dryer [BLACK FRIDAY SALE]
Guys. Over 13,000 reviews and 4.5 stars. This is on my personal wish list for this year. Makes styling your hair a breeze -no pun intended.
I'll let you in on a little secret, doing in all is HARD. Sometimes when I do my make-up, I look at my mascara and ask, "Am I going to cry today?" Honestly, some days are hard and the answer is "likely so." Too Faced Better Than Sex is the best mascara I have ever tried (waterproof or not). This will give a little extra help on those hard days where your favorite women need a little extra help.
7) The Best Lush Products
I don't know about you, but LUSH is a go to around Christmas time especially for stocking stuffers. Here are a few tips for you on my favorite products.
> Buffy Bar - Exfoliation and moisturizing combined. I use it when I need a good shave, in fact I would say it's step 1 of 2 in the best shave of your life.
> Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner - It's like lotion, but better. Great for dry skin and it's step 2 of 2 in the best shave of your life.
> Angels on Bare Skin - This one is a popular one in the Lush world, but it's great. I've been using it in the shower as a face wash for a few years and have never been disappointed. Exfoliating, but doesn't use any plastic micro-beads.
> Shower Bombs & Other Great Gifts- Bath bombs are often great gifts, but honestly, I don't always have time to use them (or a bathtub nice enough). Shower bombs are great for luxury on the go! If you are looking for other ideas, check out their gift packages full of travel size Lush favorites.
8) DIY Essential Oil Starter Kit
Essential oils can be a tricky thing to get into, but so worth it! I'm a huge lover of Young Living, but it's not always in the budget especially if you are unsure of if someone will like them. Here are my 3 suggestions of how to get started in essential oils without breaking the bank.
> Radha Beauty Essential Oils - If you want to share oils with someone (or get into it yourself), having oils is a good place to start. ;) The tricky thing is that there are basically no regulations on what oils are "safe." That's why I trust Young Living. However, this is the first set I got, and I still use some of them -even after 2 years!
> Essential Oil Introduction Book - From learning to use oils for things like headaches, cramps, and cleaning, to learning about oil safety... I personally own this book and it has helped me understand the world of essential oils so much better than searching aimlessly through Pinterest.
> Diffuser - A classic necessity for low commitment oil usage in the home. You don't have to understand the pros and cons of oils to know that you like a smell and that you want to have it breezing through your living room.
Clearly for display, this organizer is beautiful gift for anyone who would appreciate being a little more organized with their pretty jewelry! It's modular, so whoever gets it can build on top of it if they love it and need more space for their belongings.
10) Blanket Scarf
The blanket scarf that I own is perfect for those extra chilly nights, but even if you live in a warmer area, it's perfect for travel! Use as a blanket on the plane, in the car, or even fold up to act as a pillow. If you can afford a nicer one, my step-mom is eying this cashmere one from Nordstrom.
When it comes to gifts, candles are pretty hit or miss in my mind. Everyone has such different preferences. For instance, I hate strong smells, but some people thrive off of the sweet cupcake smelling candles that would likely make me feel sick. Still, this candle is burned in every Anthropology you will ever walk into, and I've never met anyone who isn't in love with it. Steps up the feel in any home for sure, and many won't buy it for themselves because it is a little expensive for a candle -but a great gift!
My mom got this as a gift when I was younger, and I have so many fond memories of girls nights in with her sitting and watching a movie and doing a mini-spa. I recently received it as a gift and it's great to give your hands or feet a break after a long day. Make sure to purchase some paraffin wax because it is not included!
13) Initial Necklace
This is definitely a more personal gift choice, and I have seen it so cute on so many people! Choose their initials, name, or kids' initials. It will definitely show that you put a lot of thought into their gift, and they will love to wear it around.
This is a great thing to add in to any gift, or to use in a stocking! These little bandaids help reduce the size of blemishes overnight, and can be super helpful for women on the go.
