Queue Elton John’s “The Bitch is Back. Hi friends, its been a MINUTE since I last posted. Accrediting my absence to a week of a sinus infection and a hectic end of October. I feel as though this year itself has been going by fast, but October was moving with a purpose because it flew by! Now that its November, it is time to roll out my first ever Christmas series posts on the blog (woohoo!). My laptop has been put into overdrive for this series, as I am determined to create the best gift guides for you. Just call me Santa’s trendy little helper. As we all know shipping and stock in stores have been absolutely crazy and lacking a bit, so expect every gift guide to be out within the next two weeks so there is plenty of time for shipping 🙂
My first guide is an ode to the gal who buys everything for themselves, aka someone like me. When I ask for gifts, I typically always gravitate towards stuff that I don’t want to buy for myself but really want/need… anyone else like this? Surprisingly this is my least favorite out of all the gift guides I have been working on and that’s saying something because I am personally asking for the items below! You are probably like “Kelly why is this your least favorite?”; well thats because my love language to others is gift giving, so I am really excited about the other guides, as many of them are based off of gift inspiration that I am purchasing for my friends and family. So, without further ado, my 2021 Christmas wish list!
Dagne Dover Dakota Backpack
$200.00
Perfect for traveling, commuting, overnight trips or even the gym!
Swift Styler Hair Tool
$49.97
Dupe for the Dyson that I want to try this before buying the real deal.
Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil
$87.00
An attempt to tame my aggressive frizz halo I have on the daily.
Bauble Bar Monogram Smiley Blanket
$98.00
Smiley faces and monograms… me in a blanket. Currently in the process of redoing my bedroom and this would be perfect as a throw blanket on my bed.
Papinelle Silk Pajama Set
$99.00
I’m an avid believer and supporter of pajama sets; it must be in the genes because my sisters and mom also have quite the collection. This silk set would make me feel elite as I lay in bed with acne cream and pimple patches on.
Apple Series 7 Watch
$399.00
Currently have the series 3 version and it is so old and slow- time for a new one! I wear mine almost everyday and use it to coach at OTF so this is something that I’ll I may end up buying myself but doesn’t hurt to put on the list right? 😉
Apple Watch Bands Set
$13.98
A word to the wise: NEVER buy apple watch bands from Apple, it is such a rip off. This pack from amazon is basically identical to the Apple ones and at a fraction of the price.
Slip Silk Pillow Case Queen Set
$125.00
Another tool to help fight my frizz (hair is a big theme for my Christmas this year lol!). Currently on sale! I have one of my mom’s old ones and love it, but the color doesn’t match my bedding and I want these for all of my pillows they are that great!
Athleta Momentum Top
$69.00
Already have 2 of these long sleeve workout tops and I am addicted. I started wearing these with biker shorts to workout in at OTF and the combo is elite.
Barefoot Dreams Cozy Chic Robe
$99.00
Cozy vibes central… that’s all that is needed to be said here. And that camel color- love! Also comes in a ton of other colors too.
Bombas Cushioned No-Show Socks
$12.50
I have a pack of Bombas socks and they are amazing. I feel like this are such a good gift for people who are really active; They are on the pricier side for socks but with good reason as they have a lifetime warranty and amazing quality. This is definitely something I don’t want to buy myself but if I got them as a gift I’d be stoked. I have the regular cut style and want to try these no-show ones too!
If you are a shopaholic like me, these items I feel are great to ask for, as they are practical and could be used almost daily. Comment below what gift guide you want to see next! As always, thanks for your support, I hope you got a little inspo and gift ideas for either yourself or your loved ones. Talk to you soon! xoxo – Kelly
