Gift Guide: Nordstrom Picks
In serious recovery mode after last night's 9th annual #kashlinxmas party! 99% sure everyone who attended has a serious #thisis30 hangover today. Can't wait to share all my tips for throwing the perfect holiday party later this week, hangover included! (hey, that's how you know it's a successful party.)
Can we talk about how Christmas is exactly two weeks away? SO. NOT. READY! A few weeks ago I felt really prepared on the gifting front and then I took a little shopping break after Cyber Monday and now I'm panicking. If you're freaking out too, make sure to check out my
gift guides for the
beauty maven,
jewelry lover,
merry maker, and
gifts under $50. Today I'm sharing my fave
gifts from Nordstrom (some I may or may not have purchased for myself), tips for gifting ALL your friends, and what to get the guys in your life.

I legit love giving presents! The feeling of finding that perfect gift for a friend, sister, or significant other gives me such a feeling of accomplishment. Sadly, I've noticed as I get older, I'm more pressed for time during the Holiday season and thinking up (and purchasing) these individual gifts becomes harder and harder. Not to mention my friend group is growing which is awesome but, yeah, you get it. That's why I've come to love the "group gift" which is basically when I create the same basket of goodies for ALL my gf's, tweaking a few things to personalize. I promise it's not a cop out, it's an efficient AND thoughtful way to gift. It's also where holiday
gift sets come in to play! Need an example? 8 group gifts coming your way:
ITEM #1. These
mini Voluspa candles are THE cutest (plus, who doesn't love a Voluspa candle) - well the fact that they come in sets of 4 means I can
buy two of them, break up the packaging, and have enough candles for 8 people.
ITEMS #2 and #3. Enter this
Clinique Tiny Temptations Collection that comes with 20 mini lipsticks. Most of my friends don't need 20 lipsticks but many of them would love 2! Here's where things get "personalized" - I pick 2 colors for each of my gal pals that they would love. Note, there's 4 extra lippies, so I treat myself!
ITEM #4. Since we're all in our 30s now, skincare (ie: hello, new wrinkles) is pretty much all we talk about. I'm always one to help a sista out, so these
Rodial Eye Masks make for a great treat. It helps that they come in sets of 8!
ITEM #5. Wine, another place to get personal. One bottle for each gal and tah-dah.
