Holiday Gift Guide

It's November 1st, which means that we have 50-something shopping days until Christmas! For those of you having trouble finding the perfect gift for the special people in your lives, I've compiled some gift ideas based on a few of my personal favorite things. Hope y'all find this helpful!

Empower Cardio Core N More 3 lb Hoop

For your friend that loves to exercise (and is seeking variety) OR For your friend who wishes they exercised more but doesn't have the time or motivation: This thing is my new obsession! This is an easy and SUPER fun way to get your exercise in while your watching TV. I bought my niece her own (regular) hula hoop so she could join along with me and she loves it.  There are variations of exercises that you can do with it to get both your strength and cardio in. You can find these at Target, and probably at some other places, but I know they have less expensive versions at Wal-Mart and K-Mart as well.

For your friend who loves to read/cry: This book will make you cry. If you haven't read yet, gift it for yourself. It's not a happy book at all, but it will give you a lot of feelings.

For your most loved, cherished, treasured, and coolest friend: Space Jam on DVD. I've ordered the 2 disc version online (from Target), but the simple/non shiny version with just the movie is available at Best Buy.

For your Cat Obsessed friend (we all have AT LEAST one): These flats from Urban Outfitters are so in right meow.

For your friend that LOVES to bake: This apron from Paper Source is owl sorts of cute! Fun/Sad story: I lusted after this apron for a year and a half before buying it for myself.

For your guy friend: Reinbeer. Googly eyes, red pom poms, and pipe cleaners. Hot glue that ho.

For that special kid in your life: It might be your own child, your best friends child, or your niece of nephew. Get them away from the TV and computer, and give them the tools they need for their own FORT KIT. Things you can include are a couple of sets of sheets, a flashlight, clamps/clothespins, rope, ties, suction cups, glowsticks, a snack, the sky is honestly the limit when it comes to forts... trust me.

For your nerdy or germaphobe friend: This Pocket Microscope (also found at Paper Source, $9.95), could come in handy. I shudder just thinking of the things you'd see at a bar or public bathroom!

For your lady relatives: Could be your mom, grandma, aunt, in-laws, boyfriends mom or sister; either way, I'm obsessed with Scentsy's flameless candle warmers and scents. There is a scentsy warmer designed for the taste of every woman, and there is a scent to match every womans sniffing pallet!

For your friend that loves arts and crafts and all things shiny: The Mini BeDazzler - so you can BeDazzle on the go. I mean... why not?

For your favorite girl: this gold skinny mini longbow necklace from kate spade is super simple, but elegant and dainty! The length of the necklace is about 28", so it hangs long; just around the boobie area.
