Doro’s Holiday Gift Guide: For the Gals
Holiday season is just around the corner (like legitimately around the corner) and giving gifts is one of my love languages (in addition to ergonomic furniture, oat milk flat whites, quality time, “text me when you’re home safe,” and acts of service - let me stop before this turns into an extension of my Hinge profile), so I wanted to put together a gift guide for you all based on trends I’ve seen and as always, my personal experiences with products. This gift guide is for the amazing gals and women in your life, but may be appreciated by folks of all genders!
Truth be told, I’m not sure if this is a gift guide or an extension of my running wish list and favourites… no harm, no foul.
This list of holiday gift ideas is organized based on the level of your relationship with the human in your life, with 1 being an acquaintance and 10 being your significant other or a best friend. From almost lipstick to a beaded wristlet keychain to a mini diamond tennis bracelet, there’s something for everyone.
Black Friday & Cyber Monday Finds 2022
Nothing brings me greater joy than a good deal, especially something I’ve had my eye on for a while. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the ultimate tests of delayed gratification - can I hold out for 11 entire months for something sweeter? As someone who adores summer and fall fashion, I wish that we had sales of this scale during other times of the year, but it would also take the excitement out of it.
To prevent overspending and to minimize environmental waste, I constantly remind myself not to buy things that I wouldn’t buy at full price to ensure I’m meeting a true need and not an impulsive want, just because it’s on sale.
Here are some of my nifty Black Friday/ Cyber Monday purchases and deals I’ve spotted, which includes tried and true investment items and essentials under $20. Hope this brings you and your loved ones great joy!
