Girl power! I don’t know where I would be without the love and support of my friends and what better time than the holidays to show them some love?
(Also…you can use this as inspo for your own holiday wishlist! 😉)
Under $30
Beauty Sets
You can’t go wrong with Sephora or Ulta beauty sets for your bff as they not only include cult favorite beauty products, but also are a pretty good deal! Here are my picks for 2023:
One of the best things I bought in 2023 was Saie’s Glowy Super Gel and cream products have been a favorite of mine for natural, dewy skin. If you know your friend wears makeup, but are not sure what shade of blush to get, this takes the guesswork out and is a great deal! Minis like this personally take me forever to get through so they’ll be in your besties makeup kit for a while!
Olaplex Vibrant Shine Healthy Hair Kit $38 $28
Earlier this year I was on an Olaplex kick and I can confirm, their hair products are high-quality and work so well! I have very thick, frizzy hair so I’m pretty particular about what hair products I use. Try it for yourself and thank me later.
Accessories
I don’t know about you, but I love receiving jewelry and cute accessories as gifts! Deck your friends out with cute jewelry without breaking the bank.
How cute are these?! In my opinion, pearls are a staple in any jewelry collection. Available in gold and silver!
Out From Under Pointelle Lace Headband $8
It isn’t too late to hop on the ballerina-core trend and this headband is timeless. Gift this to the Blair Waldorf in your life.
Under $75
Higher End Accessories
Gorjana Bespoke Coin Necklace (Engravable!) $75
If you’ve read my previous blog posts, you know I love stacking Gorjana gold necklaces. They are timeless pieces that are beautiful and so fun to wear. Gorjana has plenty of beautiful pieces on their site that you can choose from, but this one is engravable which I think is such a cute idea for your bestie.
Matt & Nat Drew Med Vegan Crossbody Bag $70
If you haven’t heard of them before, Matt & Nat is a bag company specializing in high-quality vegan leather bags. I was gifted one myself a year or so ago and it is the perfect staple piece.
Kimchi Blue Crystal Chain Strap Bag $59
A perfect statement bag that can also work for everyday wear. With a chain strap this piece is edgy, chic and great for the liquid metal trend. Plus, the long strap is detachable so it can be worn as a clutch, too!
Casetify has so many cute designs to choose from and although their cases can be on the pricier side, their standard protection case is typically under $70.
Home Decor
If you find the right home for this cute throw pillow, this gift will be a hit! I mean…how adorable is this guy?!
Peachy B. Design Sprinkle Picture Frame $35
Print out your favorite picture of you and your bestie and throw it in this adorably delicious-looking frame. She’ll have the captured memory forever and the frame is the cutest decor. (Peachy B. Designs has other similar frames so check those out, as well!)
For the Kitchen
Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Childs $40
A classic for any foodie and home cook. If you’d like to splurge on your bestie, get her Volume 2, as well!
Staub Ceramic 16-oz Tomato Cocotte Baking Dish $45
After the success of the Staub Pumpkin ceramic baking dish, they took inspiration from the large and juicy heirloom tomato. This is perfect for the bestie who enjoys cooking at home, takes inspo from Instagram or TikTok, or recently moved into a new apartment or house. Just like many things on this list (in my humble opinion) this dish is so cute, I may just get it for myself…
Over $100
Mejuri has a variety of pieces at varying price points, but if you’d like to splurge on your bestie, you can’t go wrong with a pair of these trendy croissant hoops that she’ll cherish for a lifetime!

Take her out…or dine in!
