10 on the 10th - Favorite Gifts to Give

I'm linking up again this month with Erin from  Perfectly Port for 10 on the 10th.  This month's topic is:  Ten Favorite Gifts to Give.  

I can't wait to read all of the linked blog posts, because I need go-to gift ideas!  I always hear about new products and ideas on these link up parties.  I hope you'll come away with some new ideas from my post too!  I am only featuring products that I have personally bought or received as gifts...and loved!

ONE - A THROW BLANKET

Even though it doesn't get too cold here in Texas, we all like to snuggle under a cozy blanket, even if it means cranking the AC down a few notches.  There are plenty of options in the $20 range at Target.  

If you are looking to splurge a little more on your gift, the Kennebunkport throw (left in picture) is so soft, and the Ugg throw (right in picture) is downright luxurious.  Both are from Nordstrom.  I looked at the Barefoot Dreams blanket when I was buying the gift, and I thought the Ugg was so much softer and more durable.  Read the reviews and you'll see how much people love it.  It goes on sale with the semi-annual sale too.

TWO - JEWELRY

I think these dainty necklaces are so pretty - Kate Spade "One in a Million" necklace on the left and Kendra Scott on the right.  There are certainly lots of options out there for a nice necklace or earrings.  Just try to match the gift style with the recipient.  I just recently came across Dear Mushka, a company that creates jewelry matched with a scripture reference to make a beautiful gift.

THREE - A LOTION SET

I think Philosophy does such a nice job creating pretty holiday gift sets, and I love all their subtle scents.  There are lotion and shower gel sets in all price ranges.

FOUR - LOLLIA HAND CREAM

This is a wonderful hand cream, but the real beauty of this product is in the packaging.  Each scent has it's own style of box and lovely metal container.  I buy this at a local shop, but it is also available on Amazon here.

FIVE - A MAKE UP GIFT SET

I just picked up this Stila lipstick set for a Halloween surprise for Grace, and it's wonderful!  During the holidays, you can find all kinds of fun cosmetic sets with festive packaging.  Here's a link to Sephora's Gift Ideas page.

 SIX - CANDLE

I know I always appreciate a candle as a gift, and they are a great gift idea to stock up on when you find a sale.  Some of my favorite options are:  Boulangerie candles from Anthropologie and of course Bath and Body Works candles.

SEVEN - SOAP/LOTION SET FOR THE KITCHEN

I have given many of these lovely soap and lotion sets from Williams-Sonoma.  The holiday scents are really nice, and they come with a metal stand.  They also have a fun kitchen essentials set with dish soap, counter spray, and soap.  

And if you're looking for a similar gift at a lower price point, be sure to check Trader Joe's during the holidays.  They had a similar set available last year in a pine scent.

EIGHT - FUN DISH TOWEL

Whether you find a festive, fun dish towel at Walmart, Target, Home Goods or Anthropologie, this little kitchen accent is always an appreciated gift.  Here are some cute options:  Anthropologie here, here, here, and here.  Target here and here.  PaperSource also has beautiful holiday dish towels (stock up after the holiday for great deals).

NINE - COFFEE MUG

We don't always buy ourselves something like a coffee mug, so it is a fun gift to receive.  Just like the tea towels, you can find cute options at Target, Walmart, HomeGoods, and Anthropologie.

TEN - DECORATIVE KITCHEN ITEMS

Fun and festive kitchen items like bowls and plates make great gifts.  These aren't things we frequently buy for ourselves.  When a friend gives you an updated item for your kitchen, it adds some color and then you think of that friend whenever you use it!  The colorful latte bowls (from Anthropologie or Amazon) are a perfect example of a useful kitchen gift!

I hope you've enjoyed these gift suggestions!
