All the stores are having mad sales and everyone is scrambling to find the perfect present for everyone on their Christmas shopping list. For those of you who have run out of ideas for what to get for your best friend, here are some ideas that are sure to remind her how much your friendship means means to you.
For the Clothing Lover:
1. Ugly christmas sweater
I mean who doesn’t love a festive Christmas sweater? This is the perfect item to keep her warm as well as blend into the holiday spirit. She’ll thank you for helping her add the finishing touch to her winter wardrobe.
2. Knit infinity scarf
Give the gift of warmth because winter’s gonna be super chilly. A knit infinity scarf can do two jobs: keeping her warm and acting as the third piece to her winter outfit. After all, what’s better than multifunctional clothing?
3. Fuzzy socks/Slippers
Fuzzy socks are the perfect gift for those who are a little broke during this time of the year. Is there such a thing as too many fuzzy socks? We all usually run out of socks easily, and fuzzy socks are perfect for cold feet during the winter season. They’re great for fitting in boots!
4. Beanies and toques
I’ll admit that I love collecting hats, especially beanies and toques. What’s better than finding the perfect hat for your best friend, so that she won’t have to take hours to decide what hat matches her outfit better? I found my perfect toque at Uniqlo, so I definitely recommend that brand to anyone who’s searching for a cute winter accessory.
For the Makeup Lover:
1. Colourpop and NYX lipsticks
Colourpop seems to having constant sales, and if you’re looking for the perfect stocking stuffer for that one friend who doesn’t leave the house without lipstick, Colourpop is the way to go! Some of the fantastic deals they have on site include lipstick bundles and eyeshadow bundles, so if you’re looking for something affordable and chic, Colourpop is your one-stop. NYX also has a great selection of lipsticks, but they are a little pricier than Colourpop. Other than that, they are equal quality and a great gift find!
2. Colourpop, NYX and BH eyeshadows
Both Colourpop and BH have amazing eyeshadows, as proven by the reviews. The difference between the two companies is that Colourpop has more singles and BH only has palettes. NYX has both singles and palettes, so the choice is yours as to what to get for her!
3. BH and elf makeup brushes
Have I ever mentioned that both BH and elf have bomb brushes? They have a variety of brush sets at a cheap price, but great quality! There are so many designs, so if you’re looking for a gift for that one friend who is too lazy to wash her brushes, BH and elf are the best places to look for brushes!
4. BH, elf and NYX contour palettes
Contouring is all the rage these days, but unfortunately, some of us can’t afford Anastasia Beverly Hills or Kat von D. Fear not! The brands mentioned have similar contour palettes and won’t break the bank. Now you can satisfy her wish without having to empty your wallet.
5. BH mascara
A girl will usually just put on mascara if she doesn’t have time for her entire makeup ritual. Most of my friends are always trying to find their holy grail of mascara to keep their lashes voluminous, long, and curled. While high-end mascaras usually do the job well, BH mascaras appear to have the same quality as Too Faced’s Better Than Sex and Benefit’s Roller Lash. The bonus? BH’s mascaras are $6 USD, $8 CAD.
For the Technology-Obsessed Girl:
1. Uniqfind Macbook and iPhone cases
For that best friend who has multiple cases but keeps adding more to her collection, she’ll love another macbook/iPhone case. I know people are worried about finding good quality cases since it’s hard to tell whether the ones on Amazon are good or not, but if you wanna make sure, Uniqfind has a gorgeous variety of cases for not only Apple devices but Samsung devices as well. Be sure to get her a goody here!
2. Casetify iPhone cases
They have been on Pinterest for awhile now and they are the chicest cases you’ll find for iPhones. There are plenty of designs to choose from and they’re also high quality and durable. It’s the perfect present for that friend with a million cases, but always wants more.
For the Caffeine Addict:
1. Starbucks/Tim Hortons coffee beans
We all have that one friend who has developed a coffee addiction since the start of university, but needs to stop splurging on buying coffee every day. To solve that problem, I would recommend getting her a coffee package at Food Basics or some other food store, so that she can brew it herself at home.
2. Personalized mug
Who could have too many mugs? For this present, you could either just buy a cute one at the store or DIY a design yourself. Zazzle is great for customizing mugs. Indigo also has a pretty selection, so be sure to check them out!
I hope these gift ideas help you to find the perfect present for your best friend. Good luck on the gift hunt!
