Finding the perfect gift for your girlfriend can seem intimidating. At least that’s what my boyfriend says, and he’s been pestering me for gift suggestions since August! This gift list includes gifts that will impress even the pickiest of girlfriends and are sure to have you kissing under the mistletoe this year.
8 Christmas Gifts for Girlfriends (Yours!)
A gorgeous bath bomb
Want your girlfriend to fall in love with you? Let her relax for a night.Lush’s bath bombs are the perfect gift because they make a bath feel like a mini vacation.Lush has a huge variety to choose from, and most are only about $7. Sweet! If you really want to make a statement, add some scented candles and a bottle of wine.
Jewelry, but don’t get too old-fashioned
Jewelry is a classic holiday gift for a reason – women love it! But it’s important to find a piece of jewelry that your girlfriend will love, and I’m not talking about a cliché heart necklace or promise ring. Find a piece of jewelry that suits your girlfriend’s style or has a special meaning. You can find a variety of unusual necklaces on Baublebar and Etsy. These sites offer jewelry for under $20, but your girlfriend will never know. (Here are more suggestions for finding cheap jewelry.)
Tip:Compare different styles of jewelry in your girlfriend’s avatar to find out what she likes. ie. small and simple or bold and dazzling. This will help you pick an outfit she’s sure to love!
Wine, Wine, and …. A basket of wine.
My friends and I love a good wine night, so I’m sure your girlfriends will too! You can’t go wrong with a gift basket from Wine Country. I love that they offer free shipping on a large selection of their baskets. If your girlfriend doesn’t like wine, don’t worry! They have plenty of baskets filled with other goodies.
Holiday Weekend.
After the craziness of the December holidays, your girlfriend (and you) want nothing more than a vacation …… so give her one! I know what you’re thinking, vacations are so expensive, but it doesn’t have to be a trip to Europe. Plan a weekend at a local hotel or buy a high group romantic getaway to give you two some alone time.
Letter when opened
openwhen
Okay, okay, this may seem too ambiguous or too challenging, but this is one way that will make your girlfriend fall in love with you all over again. If you’ve seen P.S. I Love You (if you haven’t by now), then you understand how thoughtful messages can melt a girl’s heart. And, (spoiler alert!). You don’t have to die for this, you just have to go all in. This is especially true for guys who aren’t too open about their feelings. The task is simple:Write a letter to your girlfriend and ask her to open it at a specific time. You can also put small gifts/gift cards inside to make them feel more “gift-like”. Here are a few examples.
Open it at ……
You’re having a bad day.
You need to know how much I love you.
Am I mad at you or are you mad at me?
You can’t sleep
There’s more!
Nude Eyeshadow Palette
If your girlfriends ever wear makeup, this will be a hit. I gave one to all my siblings and friends last Christmas. There wasn’t a single person who wasn’t mesmerized (and yes, I’m sure they weren’t lying to be friendly). These are super popular with 4.9 stars and over 5,000 reviews. Girls love them because they work for all skin tones and are great for transitioning from day to night. Basically, buy them! While this palette is great, it’s a little pricey at $54, but her reaction will make it worth it! Buy it here.
Does your girlfriend like video games? Play an instrument? Do yoga? Whatever her hobby is, embrace it. Buy a gift that matches her preferences. Need some examples? For the girl who likes yoga, buy her a new mat and pay for a month’s worth of classes. For that girl who likes to cook, you two can take a cooking class at her favorite restaurant.
Kittens or puppies …… Just kidding, but how about a cute puppy tote bag!
Who doesn’t want a little extra cuteness in their life? When I ask my friends what gift would make them love their boyfriend the most, the answer is unanimously a pet. While this would be an awesome gift, you should make sure your girlfriend is ready for it. If you haven’t talked about having a pet and aren’t really ready for the responsibility, this is a bad gift. If you’re not sure you’re ready for a pet, but you still want the cuteness factor, try this puppy tote! I’m in love and it’s only $15.95.
No matter what gift you choose, your girlfriend will love you. Here’s a short video that teaches you how to show your love for each other every day.
