This is not the best description for her, but I’m going with it. This gift guide is inspired by my other BFF. She’s far more hip than I and more fashionable for sure. A few things are actually on her wishlist and a couple are things that I think she’d like. As you can see, there are gender neutral items that might for the hip guy in your life.
- Embellished Gold Bracelet (J. Crew Factory, $17.99, reg. $36.50) – Because she probably likes jewelry. I love this necklace and I love that it’s on sale, too.
- Sony USB Stereo Turntable (Amazon, $128.00) – Albums seem to be making quite the comeback. While I don’t have one, I can certainly see why anyone would want one. This turntable will also convert your vinyl tracks to digital format.
- Michael Kors Petite Darci Crystal Bezel Bracelet Watch (Nordstrom, $181.35, reg. $195.00) – Every lady needs a gorgeous watch. I’ve seen several MK watches that are absolutely beautiful. You can check the MK site for more options or any major department stores if you’re looking for sales and discounts
- FitBit Charge (Amazon, $90.30, reg. $129.95) – I happened to purchase one of these for someone else in my life. I was stunned to see the price difference depending on the size and color. Right now, these are on backorder on Amazon, as was mine. However, I ordered it on Wednesday and it arrived this morning. If you’re looking for a different retailer, Best Buy doesn’t have them on sale, but will price match what you find on Amazon.
- Purple Rain – Prince (Amazon, $20.99) – I love a good package/combo/companion gift. This would go well with the Sony Turntable. As I mentioned, vinyls are all the rage these days and most Barnes & Noble locations have a pretty good selection. I’ve seen Michael Jackson, Adele, soundtracks (Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Clueless), Sinatra, Lana Del Rey, The Beatles, Kendrick Lamar… The options are quite varied.
- Friedline Crossbody Bag in Cognac (Aldo, $45.00) – It’s a handbag essential – the crossbody. Great for festivals or traveling.

With only two weeks left til Christmas, we’re getting down to the wire with gifts. I’m the kind of person who panics if I’m not 90% done with shopping by December 1st. But I know most people aren’t like that, so you’re likely still shopping. Again, these gift guides are for the people in my life and I’m hoping they’re helpful for those in yours as well. Today’s gift guide is based on one of my best friends, JK. Hopefully, she won’t mind that I’m saying this – she’s creative and also likes to relax at home. She loves capturing moments with her dSLR and her phone. These are ideas for the person in your world who resembles her.
- The Calm Coloring Book (B&N, $7.18) – Adult coloring books are all the rage these days, despite the fact that I’ve been coloring for years. Though I still have princess coloring books for myself. The adult books are far too intricate for me.
- Photo Booth Props (Christmas Props, Michaels, $2.87) – JK is a fan of these and they make for fun photos at a party. Michaels has several to choose from and they’re currently on sale!
- Sunrise Whistling Tea Kettle (Amazon, $19.99) – Because tea is amazing. Your slightly homebody friend is probably a fan of tea…or wine…or both. If you go for the kettle, make sure to buy some tea or these adorable Teavana mugs to go along with it. The first thing I wanted to do when I got a new kettle was make tea. Mostly, I wanted to hear it whistle.
- TECHO Universal Professional HD Camera Lens Kit (Amazon, $29.99) – For the creative paparazzi in your life.
- Polaroid ZIP Mobile Printer (Amazon, $129.99) – Why did we stop with the Polaroids?? I miss the instant gratification of seeing your photo in your hands. Luckily, everything old is new again and now we’ve got mobile printers so your friend can distribute those paparazzi shots they took with their new lens and photo booth props.

Obviously a party is a social gathering. But for this post, I mean the get togethers with friends, family and or any non-work party, really. I love the idea of sequins and glitter for winter holidays, as you can see. They’re just so festive. However, I’ve included less or non-sequin/glitter options for those who aren’t too keen on it. Outfits 2 (top right) and 3 (bottom left) are my favorites.
Looking for some of these items? I’ve done a bit of the heavy lifting for you. Check out the pieces below.
