2017 Gift Guide Series | For The Hostess
0

The number of holiday parties that take place over these next few months can be overwhelming! I’m a firm believer in bringing a hostess gift when attending a party at a friend’s or family members house over the holiday season. What I love most about giving hostess gifts, is that they don’t have to be expensive & you can easily make them personal!

Today I’ve rounded up the best hostess gifts to shop this party season.

A small Diptyque candle is always a good idea – I prefer the roses scent! Williams-Sonoma has two great coaster options – these gold rimmed coasters and these white marble coasters which both are under $25 dollars! A hostess can never have too many wood salad severs. Last but not least, this Williams-Sonoma mulling spices gift set would make such a nice hostess gift if  your budget is around $100 dollars.

2017 Gift Guide Series | The Best Beauty and Makeup Gift Sets To Give This Year

Gift-Guide-Beauty-And-Makeup-Gift-Sets-Holiday-Shopping

One of my favorite gift guides to create each and every year is the one dedicated to beauty and make up gift sets! Honestly, this is one of the best times to invest in skincare or make up brands you love as these value sets are truly phenomenal.

In case you’re just tuning in, we’re in the middle of my 2017 gift guide series! So far we’ve launched the top gifts for her, the top gifts for him as well as the top holiday plaid gifts to give this year. My fourth (and personal) favorite gift guide launching today is dedicated to skincare and make up. You can shop each and every gift guide by clicking on the black and white plus sign next to each product in the collage above. Or if that’s too hard, I’ve linked to every product featured below under “Shop The Post.”

After browsing a few of my favorite retailers for the best beauty and makeup gift sets, I’ve come to the conclusion that these below are just too good to pass up. Plus, the single products I’ve linked to (ones not included in a value set) I use in my daily skincare routine and hope you love just as much as I do. Let’s get to it, shall we?

My mom is going to go crazy for this huge lip kit from Sephora – can you believe how many lip glosses, balms and lipsticks are included in this set for $70 dollars? This would make such a good gift or stocking stuffer! I also thought this skin wonderland set that comes with Sephora’s best skincare sellers would be a great starter kit for anyone wanting to enhance their skincare routine. I will be stocking up on this L’occitane hand cream set – you cannot beat this $30 dollar price point. Last but not least, I’m dying to try the new Gucci sent, Bloom – you can shop a 3-piece gift set for $129!

Product Highlights — I’ve used Dermalogica in my skincare routine since I was 25 – this power firm eye cream is the best and this pre-cleanse is great for removing oils and unclogging pores. This Hourglass ambient palette is one of the best for highlighting your cheeks during the holiday season. This Charlotte Tilbery eye shadow palette is perfect for a smokey eye. Last but not least, a new discovery that I’m slightly obsessed with is this Henne Luxury Lip Tint ($21.95 dollars)- it’s a great, clean alternative to Dior’s Lip Glow ($33 dollars).

Picking out gifts for men is quite easy! Whether you’re shopping for your dad, brother, boyfriend or hubby, today I’ve rounded up some of my favorite christmas present ideas for all of the men in your life. Some of my favorite go-to brands to shop for men each and every Christmas include Tumi, Burberry, Sonos, J.Crew, East Dane, Mark and Graham and Keihls.

You can’t go wrong with a classic Barbour jacket, cologne, or a Patagonia pop over. My boyfriend has these APL sneakers and loves them! I also want to get him these Ralph Lauren Velvet slippers for all of the black tie weddings we have to attend next year. This bluetooth Sonos speaker is a great gift for any guy and comes in at a great price point – under $200 dollars! If you have a big golfer in the family, I always get my dad these Titleist golf balls each year which are a great stocking stuffer or secret santa present with a $50 dollar price tag. Last but not least, weekender bags are always a great gift – I love this weekend garment bag or this  brown leather monogrammed Mark and Graham weekender.

Don’t forget to shop some my entire gift guide series! I’ve linked to all of the posts below. Have a great Thanksgiving week, friends! Xo. Lauren

Speaking of Williams-Sonoma, I picked up this holiday plaid coffee mug on Friday night.

The cutest cross-body plaid bag.

This buffalo check top coat will be great for winter.
