#girlfriendgiftguide | LAST MINUTE

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9

I can’t believe how quickly this month has flown by, it’s already the eve of Christmas Eve! Hopefully the last couple #girlfriendgiftguides have helped some of you with your Christmas shopping, but just in case you forgot someone, here’s a list to help your last minute scramble. Whether it’s someone you’re close to, or a white elephant gift, most of this list is good for both guys and gals. 

After compiling, I realized that the good majority of these gifts are photography related. Starting with #4, a universal cell phone lens kit, which lets you take cool fisheye or macro photos using just your cell phone. Then there’s #1, the Fujifilm Instax camera, which is great for anyone because it comes in 5 different colors and is basically is real-life Instagram. But #10, Instacoasters, are another way to bring your IG to life! It’s a super simple DIY gift that is both meaningful and functional. Alls ya need is some square pieces of wood and mod podge, both of which can be picked up at your local craft store. After that just stalk your giftee’s IG and pick out some coaster worthy pics and print! You could also just print a couple and put them in a cute frame, like #7.

#2 I mentioned this book in my past post, and I recommend it for anyone and everyone. It’s hilarious. 

#3 is a portable charger which is super nifty and functional for those techies.

#5 is a set of whiskey rocks to keep that drink nice and cold.

#6 Sephora’s 2014 favorites, which is perfect for anyone who’s just getting into makeup or even a beauty guru.

#8 dainty dangles with meaning. 

#9 a magazine subscription! It doesn’t have to be Darling, but any magazine that you think your gifted would love.

With love,

Patti

Home for the Holidays | Christmas Tree Farm

Ralph Lauren flannel (similar) / Free People jeans / FE vest (similar) / Steve Madden boots (similar)

Hello hello and Happy Holidays! One of my absolute favorite things about the holidays has to be the decorating. Christmas trees and festive decor make my home that much cozier and bring about that holiday warmth. For my family, decorating the Christmas tree is something we always do together and the joy of that night mixed with the nostalgia of all past years make for a feeling of comfort and happiness I can't even begin to describe. That's probably why I get so excited before it's time to pick out the Christmas tree. This tree farm lets you cut down your own tree so I wanted to dress the part as Lumberjack Pat, hence the flannel and vest. :) I ended up picking this amazingly aromatic Grand Fir at a different place, but this farm was so fun to run around in!

With love,

Patti

Whether you're a girlfriend shopping for another girlfriend, girlfriend shopping for your boyfriend, or even just a girlfriend shopping for yourself, I've got ya covered! Girlfriend to girlfriend :)
