The most wonderful time of the year is just around the corner, which means it’s TIME TO SHOP! Sales and product releases are happening earlier and earlier each year, so I recommend making your gift list (or wish list) sooner than later. Start giving those hints! I have rounded up a list of Alyssa-approved gifts in a holiday gift guide that are worth giving or being given this holiday season below. Let me know which ones are your favorites!
Bose: Soundsport Wireless Headphones
These have been one of my most prized possessions for the past three years. Numberless commutes, work outs, you name it – these wireless headphones have sure gotten their use and STILL have the best sound and quality I have ever found in a set of wireless headphones. I had the pair in black, but after recently losing them (could have kicked myself) I replaced them with the violet pair! Honestly, these are a great gift and an even better item to have on your personal wish list. My number one recommendation, for sure.
Clothing Garment Rack
For the fashionista in your life, an easy, yet affordable, option is a clothing garment rack! These really add a stylish flare to any room and are great for having in the background while taking #ootd pictures. For this reason, I had to include it in this holiday gift guide! I recently got one for my apartment and love it. I have linked the exact clothing garment rack I purchased HERE.
Cole Haan: ZERØGRAND Explore Hiker Boots
I love these winter boots from Cole Haan. They are waterproof (much needed in the city) and are really stylish. They also have rubber pods for traction and a great cushioned footbed. When Chicago hits the polar vortex again, these are the shoes I want to have handy!
Venus Et Fleur: Lé Mini Round
These tiny rose arrangements are the perfect gift for any occasion. They’re unique, beautiful, and a great price range! Each rose lasts up to about a year on their own, no watering needed, in a cute mini box. The Lé Mini Round style offers a variety of box colors and rose colors to choose from. It’s perfect!
AE: High-Rise Plush Leopard Legging
If you know me, you know I absolutely love leopard print. On any occasion. On any piece of clothing. Did you catch my post about leopard print styles for Fall?? These leopard leggings from American Eagle look SUPER comfy and would be a great lounge addition to your closet. The price is not too shabby either!
Corkcicle: Stemless Insulated Wine Glass
These babies are perfect for Wine Wednesday! Stainless steel that keeps cold drinks colder than cold and hot drinks hotter than hot. Sounds like the perfect, sleek wine glass to me! Did I mention it has a shatterproof lid and is super cute?
Spanx: Jean-ish Ankle Leggings
Now these are on my wishlist! I love the way Spanx leggings are made. I have their faux leather leggings and love the high-waisted fit as well as the quality of the material. I think these Jean-ish Ankle Leggings are perfect for Fall and Winter this year. The best thing about Spanx and these leggings, they come in regular and PETITE size! Woo hoo!
Fitbit: Versa 2
I have a Fitbit Versa 2 (just got it) and LOVE it. I love being able to track my steps, heart rate, and sleep every day. The Versa 2 is the latest edition released by Fitbit this past September. It comes in multiple colored bands and there are many cheap bands sold on Amazon for them as well (view my leopard band here!). You can also sync Spotify and Alexa to it!
The Beachwaver Co. S1 Curling Iron
If you want luscious curls, I highly recommend this Beachwaver curling iron – it’s what I use! It is $129, and worth every penny. The curling iron has a button to push to automatically curl your hair and hold. It also heats up super fast and distributes heat evenly from top to bottom. I like the 1″ inch model for not too tight, not too loose curls!
Timberland: Carnaby Cool Bootie
What would a holiday gift guide be without cute, girly booties for fall and winter? I’m a big fan of the color pink, so I am a big fan of these pink Timberland booties. They come in women’s size 5.5 to 11 and have an OrthoLite® footbed for increased comfort. They also have a little bit of a heel, which is a plus for style!
Balance Athletica: The OG Pant – Tie Dye Intuition
Balance Athletica offers super cute leggings for every woman, no matter her shape or size. Worthy of being on a holiday gift guide! Their newest collection, the Aura Collection, are especially head-turners. These tie-dye styles come in three different colors – with pink of course being my favorite – for $70 each. I love that they are high-waisted and flattering to the behind!
