Holiday Gift Ideas 2020

Buying presents can be SO hard. It can also be really fun if you know exactly what to get the person because you know they'll love it. Some people love giving gifts and others hate it, but no matter where you fall on this spectrum I am here to help! I have gathered up 8 gift ideas to give to friends and family this holiday season! Any of these gifts would work for all of the people who you love the most in your life.

1. Makeup Eraser

This is a great gift to give a friend, sister, or mom because it is practical and will get so much use! I have a makeup eraser and I use it every single time I wear makeup. I like it so much better than makeup wipes that you use once and then throw away. Not only is this makeup eraser perfect for sensitive skin because it does not have any harsh chemicals, it is good for the environment because it is reusable! This product is so easy to use- you literally just wet it and wipe your makeup off! You wash it like a normal towel so there is no hassle, and there's even options to buy mini ones for every day of the week so you don't have to reuse the makeup eraser a bunch of times! I have this product and LOVE it, so this would be a great gift to give a woman in your life!

2. Wine Glass

This is an amazing gift for all the wine lovers in your life. I mean, who doesn't want a funny wine glass to sip out of at the end of a long day (or year). These wine glasses come with tons of cute and funny sayings, which make it a really easy gift to give! The wine glasses are stemless and chic and are sure to make anyone smile. They are a great gift because not only are they extremely cute, but they would look pretty sitting in a cabinet or on display when they are not being used. This is a cute and somewhat personalized gift that would get a lot of use!

3. Makeup Gift Set

This is perfect for the makeup lovers. Ulta, and other beauty retailers, create gift sets for this time of year that come with so many different mini products in one box. It is an incredible deal because the gift sets are relatively cheap and you are getting so many different products. There are some gift sets specific to lipgloss or some for skincare, and then there are ones that have all different kinds of products. If you are trying to think of a gift that is a bang for your buck this is the way to go. Not only are there tons of products in just one gift set, but all the products are really good, high quality makeup.

4. A Cute Jacket

This is a great idea for someone who you know very well and can pinpoint their style exactly. There have been so many cute jackets this year, from bombers to shackets, and for pretty cheap prices. I received an insanely chic black bomber this year as a gift and it was the perfect present because I had been borrowing this exact jacket from a friend every weekend (thanks Hannah!!). A simple bomber or shacket for someone is a great gift because they don't really ever go out of style. It is a simple but thoughtful gift and is something that will be used a ton and will last forever!!

5. A Cookbook

I don't know about you, but this year has been a huge year of cooking and baking in my house. This would be a fun gift for a family member or friend who has brought out their cooking skills during quarantine this year. There are so many cookbooks out there, from dinner ideas to desserts and everything in-between, that this would be a cute holiday gift. You can get cookbooks specific for certain cuisines or just appetizers, or whatever they like to make! Who doesn't love to get some new delicious recipes, just in time for a new year! Also, if you are lucky, maybe the person you gift this to will cook or bake some holiday treats for you!!

6. Blue Light Glasses

Everyone I know has been spending more time on their computers and staring at screens this year. At least I know I have. Blue light glasses could be a really great gift for someone you know who spends a lot of time working on their computer. This is a thoughtful gift because blue light glasses are a game changer. They make staring at a screen for hours on end more enjoyable. Not only do they help prevent headaches and stop your eyes from hurting, but they ultimately help you sleep better at night because your eyes aren't strained from your computer screen. This is a wonderful gift for someone you know who works hard and deserves a little rest for their eyes! They also work for men and women, so this would be good for mom, dad, grandparents, siblings, or friends!

7. A Cozy Blanket

With everyone spending more time at home this year, nothing sounds better than receiving a cozy, comfy blanket to snuggle up in. This is such an easy gift because lets face it- everyone loves a nice blanket. It is a practical and cute present to show someone that you care. Also, there's no such thing as having too many blankets so you can never go wrong with this present. This is the kind of gift that would work for anyone in your life. Also, if you are feeling crazy, there are websites where you can customize a blanket with pictures on it! Blankets are ideal for this time of year, so getting someone a new one that they can cuddle up in for the new year is a great gift!

8. A Phone Case

This is a super personal and creative gift. The key to this is to find a phone case that matches their personality. I personally think giving a phone case can be really fun because it is a gift a lot of people don't think of. Casetify is a website that has SO many options for phone cases and makes it so easy to find the perfect one. They also have chic leather phone cases for all phone types. The leather phone cases are also cool because they come in a variety of colors and allow you to customize the case with a monogram or name. This is a personal touch to add to a gift that just shows you care! This gift can be for anyone in your life, and is the perfect way to start the new year- with a new phone case!
