Hannah’s Holiday favs | gift guide for Her

December 6, 2018

Hey y’all and happy holidays!

As Christmas approaches I thought it would be fun to do something a little different around here! One of my favorite things this time of year is browsing through holiday gift guides from the bloggers I follow, I always enjoy reading about the products they are loving while getting a peek into their own personal style!  This year I wanted in! So today I am sharing “10 gift ideas for her”

This gift guide is created for all the ladies in your life: sister, mom, best friend, girlfriend! Below I have compiled a list of my favorite brands and products that I either own/use personally in my life or am adding to my wishlist too!  I think you are really going to love it!!

(BONUS: leave a comment at the bottom of the blog with 1 thing on your holiday wishlist, I wanna hear!!)

OK, LETS GET STARTED…

1. Blue light blocker glasses by DONNA

If you follow me on instagram you’ve heard me mention these over Black Friday! These glasses are designed to protect your eyes from the harmful blue light (found our phones, laptops, tv’s) and since the majority of my work is on my laptop/phone investing in a pair of these were a must! My eyes are naturally super sensitive and the first day I put these on I noticed a significant difference (no headaches, my eyes weren’t sore etc.) There are a ton of different good brands out their but I found mine on Amazon for under $20 and I just really loved the style and variety they had to offer!

2.  CJLA favs

I take pride in converting all my friends to the Carly Jean tribe…we are HOOKED over here if you’ve ordered anything from their shop you understand why! quality + comfortable clothing but even more rad people behind the business. Just all around a CJLA fangirl <3

3. Ransom Jewelry

I was never really a “jewelry girl” until Ransom entered my life. I’m more of a simple girl and love a good gold dainty necklace that will go with EVERYTHTHING, and that I can wear everyday and you guys!!! This! is! it! Ransom Jewelry is the REAL DEAL and truly 99% of the jewelry I own. You have got to check out Erica’s etsy shop!

4. Kelly Moore Backpack

The bag that has traveled the world with me!  (not exaggerating) it’s comfortably carried my camera + 15 in Macbook through Hawaii, California, Israel, Charleston, Texas, and North Carolina over the last 2 years & it’s still going strong!! My favorites = the padded insert for your gear that you can use or take out to use as a regular backpack. I also really love that it has a built in card holder for your ID + credit cards, which makes it easy when you travel to have it all in one place!

5. Gift a book

Homebody by Joanna Gaines, Come Matter Here by Hannah Brencher, Mercy like Morning by Jane Johnson

Come Matter Here was my summer read and I honestly would read it again & again ( I practically highlighted over half of the book hahah)

Janes “Mercy Like Morning” devotional is on my Christmas list and I have heard so many great things about it from my friends who have already dug into it!

Last but not least Joanna Gaines lasted book “Homebody” because…well, it’s Joanna Gaines.

6. Felt Letter Board

I LOVE that felt boards are a trend! You can get one practically anywhere these days!! I linked one that I found on Amazon, but the one pictured below was actually from Walmart for $9! It originally had a plastic boarder but my board took a spill off of my office desk and the boarder snapped in half 😥 so my dad whipped up this wooden frame and slid the felt in and OH. MY. WORD. it looks a million times better (just like everything else Eric Smith touches)

7. This Beauty Called Ours |  Make-Up

I loveee following emma from @thisbeautycalledours on instagram! She does such a great job at recommending specific products for your skin tone and such. My make-up bag is slowly but surely becoming strictly senegence products and its honestly just because I love the way they feel on my face! everything is lightweight, clean and long lasting!

Here are some of my favs:

-CCTM color corrected tinted moisturizer in Light (similar to a  BB cream)

– Shadowsence

I use “snow” + “Candle Light” as a primer under my eyes, “Mocha Java” to fill in my brows (also for a smokey eye), and “Sandstone Pearl Shimmer” as a light eye shadow & love it!

– SeneGence VolumeIntense Mascara

-I also use their Lip Balm and I think liquid gold is the only way to explain it

8. Instax Polaroid Camera & darling leather case 

I was gifted this sunshine yellow Polaroid Camera for my high school graduation AND I still think it makes such a great gift & super fun for traveling!  I remember taking polaroids as a kid and being so fascinated by it and honestly still am and look like a child shaking it 😉

9. Denim Sherpa Jacket

I have been obsessed with this look for winter and am just dying to get my hands on one these bad boys!! Pictured below is Levi’s brand but I linked a more affordable option above!

10. Custom Bibles!

my good friend Kayleigh has a shop called She Paints Scripture and her work is absolutely incredible. My sister and cousin both ordered one this summer and are in love!!!

Happy Holidays!!!
