This is an all inclusive guide for both men and women because sometimes your girlfriend would prefer a men’s hoodie, ect. I wanted to make this an all-in-one lovefest for gifting your better half. Spoiler: no gift cards here.
FOR HER:
1. Adidas Cropped Hoodie in Black | $60
Cropped is in. High waisted pants are in. How comfy does this hoodie look with a pair of high waisted leggings and some sneakers. You’re girl will be killing the game. Plus, getting her a black hoodie means it’ll go with everything.
2. Target’s Dania Velvet Bootie | $38
She’ll either love them or hate them, but if you think she’ll love them even a little bit take a chance. These are a steal. When I say that I mean these are comparable to some other blue velvet booties I’ve seen around the fashion world for a fraction of the price.
3. Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Stress Relief Candle | $13
This is a go-to for a lot of people I know, it’s one of those things that you stock up on because you can burn these babies all year round. It’s soothing, and it fills the room with eucalyptus and spearmint dreams in no time.
4. Adidas Ultraboost Laceless Sneakers in Ash Pearl | $200
I actually saw these beauties on Remi Ishizuka’s (@rrayyme) Instagram stories. She’s an adidas ambassador and I fell in love. These are beautiful, they look lightweight and comfortable for both working and hanging out. The ash pearl is a nice neutral, yet different color for your best girl. They are a little pricey, but I’ve had a good amount of adidas sneakers and they are probably my favorite sneakers around. I even worked at an amusement park for three summers in a pair – they last forever.
5. Ray-Ban Hexagonal Flat Sunglasses in Gold | $153
I cross between a circle and a square frame, I truly think this style would look good on most people. They’ll go with everything and having a pair of designer sunglasses will make your woman feel like she’s got her shit together.
6. BoxyCharm Subscription | $59 for 3 months
I love the idea of subscription service as a gift. I’ve been known to do this because it’s the gift that keeps on giving. $60 for 3 months worth of gifts is a bargain, not to mention this subscription box delivers over $100 worth of beauty products every month. If your girl like makeup, skincare or anything beauty this is a must.
7. Red Velvet Strappy Jumpsuit | $53
This is fun, stylish and comfy. What could be better? If your girl is super picky I still think they’ll like this one.
8. Faux Leather Qualited Jacket | $74
Great faux leather motorcycle jackets are hard to come by for this price. You usually check every rack in Marshalls and end up finding a size that is just a little too small for your shoulders so I’m sure any lady would be lucky to get this as a gift. She can even wear it over her jumpsuit for NYE, and then the next day with a white tee and jeans.
9. Threader Earrings | $33
These can be casual or dressed up and come in all different kinds of metal, which means even the girls who say they can only wear real goal, or have certain allergies, can be satisfied.
10. Everlane Boyfriend Jeans | $68
Light, but not too light, washed jeans that she can wear any season. Perfect for the day after your night on the town with a white tee and leather jacket. She’ll love that you got her a whole outfit, too!
FOR HIM:
1. Prada PR52TS Green + Grey Polarized Sunglasses | $199
I’m not saying these are the exact pair you need to buy the man in your life, but these are some very nice shades. They’re chic and classy. They remind me of what George Clooney would wear, ya know? That’s some classy shit. If you think they’re responsible enough to have designer sunglasses I think this could be a really awesome present.
2. Pair of Thieves Boxer Briefs | $12.99
My boyfriend raves about these, they are silky as all hell and super breathable. Plus, they have fun designs so it’ll be fun buying him underwear. Even better is that they’re available at Target, which means you can do a little Christmas shopping your next time in.
3. Sephora’s Cologne Sampler | $65
Every time I drag my boyfriend into Sephora I know if I lose him I can find him at the cologne wall asking for samples. It’s great that I’ve dragged him enough times that now he’s making himself comfortable. The great thing about the cologne sampler if that they have all the best sellers available in the pack so they should be able to find something they like. Also there’s a $65 voucher for their favorite one. You’re not only buying a bunch of little samples you can just get for free, you’re buying a full sized product for the future all wrapped up in a free faux leather travel bag!
4. Adidas Ultraboost Sneakers in Khaki | $180
I can almost guarantee you if the guy you’re shopping for likes running sneakers he owns a pair, or has his eyes on, Adidas Ultraboosts. They are the running shoe to have right now besides Yeezys. If you’re willing to sell a kidney to get a pair of those, by all means.
5. Wireless Beats by Dre in Matte Black | $300
A little bit of a splurge I know, but maybe this will be your only present to them and they’ll still be happy. I chose Matte Black because I feel like I could see any kind of man in these; the business man walking through New York, the runner in the suburbs, the restaurant owner making his way through Restaurant Depot. They’re classic and clean. Who wouldn’t want a nice new pair of headphones?
6. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline | $10
This is apparently a great read, I’m behind on the game, but I’ll read it eventually. If your guy enjoys video games they’ll like this one says my boyfriend. This is a one-guy-to-another recommendation. I’d also recommend grabbing the audiobook – maybe wireless beats and this audiobook? Sounds like a good plan to me.
7. Nike Windrunner Jacket | $75
This looks so lightweight and comfortable, perfect for everyday or a casual day out. To be honest, this just looks comfy as hell for every day activity so I don’t know what guy wouldn’t want this.
8. LG 2.1 Channel Soundbar System with Subwoofer and Digital Amplifier | $120
Everyone likes to spend a little time watching TV or movies and a new sound system is a whole new experience. TVs are so cheap these days, but a lot of them lack good audio so this is would be great. Plus you can’t go wrong with how cheap this is, jump on this while you can.
9. Swell Traveler in Green Jasper | $35
I recently heard these bottles are the real deal, they will keep your colds cold and your hots hot for as long as you need. I chose the traveler instead of the tumbler so those stumbly work mornings. These are a full twist lid so no spills.
10. Birksun Boost 2 Mythos Backpack in Black | $149
Ever been at the beach and your phone dies? Or in the middle of the day when you’re not near a power outlet – in comes Birksun. Birksun backpacks are solar powered and you can buy batteries to connect your USB to charge your phone. This specific backpack has a waterproof zipper so all his electronics won’t get damaged if he’s in a bind.
