  • Hey everyone! It's your girl Jenn and Happy Holidays!

  • Today I've whipped up a little gift guide on what to get each type of friend

  • because I know this time of year can get a little bit stressful

  • So here I am to give you some ideas, so let's get started!

  • The first type of friend I'll be talking about is your very organized friend

  • or that friend that needs to get their shit together.

  • My first idea is gonna be a planner.

  • This one is by Happiness Planner and look at this cover. It's so gorgeous.

  • It is in this beautiful black leather case with a rose gold lining right over here.

  • When you open it, you write what makes you happy, what makes you unhappy, your strengths, your weaknesses

  • All that stuff. It's just assessing you on how you feel at the beginning of the year.

  • So this goes beyond just planning and organizing your day.

  • It makes you reflect on stuff that makes you happy too. So it's a bit of a diary and planner all-in-one

  • I'm so excited to use mine!

  • Next up, I have this book by Dale Carnegie.

  • It's called How to Win Friends and Influence People

  • This is one self-help book that I urge everyone to read cos let's face it, communication is key

  • and every day a lot of people struggle with it. We have to deal with a lot of personalities

  • and this book gives you solid advice on how to interact with them.

  • After I read this book I saw my relationships and the way I interact with people in a whole different light

  • So I highly recommend this book. This is also the type of book that everyone needs on their bookshelf.

  • My next gift idea is called the iRing.

  • and I swear this has changed my life.

  • It is basically a little metal hook that you attach to the back of your phone case.

  • Once you slip it on you never drop your phone case. Look! It's fine. It's on there for good.

  • So this is gonna be amazing for that friend that always drops their phone and shatters their screen

  • After they have this, it's going to be secure and safe.

  • The second type of friend I'll be tackling is the gym rat.

  • This is your fitness craved friend that's always hitting the gym, is always taking those gym snaps, the progress pix

  • All of that. So my first gift idea for them is a good workout bag and this has been my favorite workout bag of all time.

  • First off there's this little compartment where you can put your phone in

  • and then the main compartment there are two little sections.

  • The first one you can just throw in your wallet or a little protein bar

  • and then in the bigger one you can put your water bottle. You can put random gym stuff like this

  • Your headphones, everything and just the way it slips on is so comfortable

  • and I always feel ready to the gym once I have this bag.

  • Next up I have the Camelbak water bottle.

  • I swear I feel like I'm always trying to sell this to you guys.

  • I've never stayed more hydrated. It's my favorite thing to drink out of even when I'm not working out.

  • This has just replaced all cups for me.

  • The reason why this is so amazing is this little mouth piece here. You don't need to tilt the bottle

  • You don't even need to tilt your head for the water to come gushing out.

  • I love this guy. It comes in so many different colors.

  • I just have to plug in my Camelback here.

  • So these are a little bit on the pricey side, but I thought I should give my Bose headphones a shout out anyway.

  • Because these have changed the workout game for me.

  • First off they are wireless so you don't have to worry about the annoying cords

  • All you gotta do is turn on your bluetooth and then they're connected

  • They go over the ears and they're very noise cancelling. I love these guys and also the base on these are pretty phenomenal

  • so you can crank it up and go hours for cardio.

  • Okay, not hours. Maybe like 40 minutes

  • So the third type of friend I have is the creative soul.

  • This is your artsy friend that's constantly creating something.

  • So first I have the Instax Share SP-2 Printer. It prints out any of your photos on your phone as a Polaroid.

  • As much as I love my Instax polaroid, it's pretty annoying to carry around. It's bulky and heavy

  • Honestly there's not enough room in my purse to carry it everywhere, but now with this

  • you can make any old memory into a vintage looking one.

  • Next up, I have an adult coloring book. I read somewhere that coloring is supposed to decrease the amount of stress levels on your brain.

  • In that case I feel like I should be spending a lot more time coloring.

  • I found this one on Amazon and I just thought this had really great designs.

  • There's a lot of prints like garden designs, mandalas, animals, and paisley patterns.

  • and your friend can just kinda relax and unwind the mind by coloring these books

  • It definitely taps into more of a nostalgic part of my brain cos it reminds me of coloring books when you're a kid.

  • If your friend paints you can't go wrong with a set of cute cups.

  • I got this set in Toronto. It was across the Drake Hotel and I think it was called the General Store

  • but I was obsessed these cups and I thought that if your friend paints they can probably use these cups to watercolor and what not.

  • They can drink tea or alcohol or whatever kind of liquid they want inside these cups.

  • The possibilities are endless.

  • Now it's time to talk about that friend that loves fashion, loves to keep up with the trends.

  • Every fashionista loves to accessorize to why not deck them out in some cozy headwear

  • This is a beanie which is a no brainer. It's an essential during the wintertime

  • and the fact that it doesn't have any sizing is great cos I know with clothing it can get a little bit tricky finding the right size

  • If you get them a large but they're actually a medium, they're just kinda like... y'know.

  • Feelings can get kinda weird. So with hats you don't have to worry about size. One size fits all.

  • Another accessory that I love gifting is a patterned scarf.

  • This one is from Zara and it's just in a neutral color that will go with everything.

  • This is a great add-on gift in case you're getting your friend a bunch of small gifts all together.

  • It's something very thoughtful and every time they wrap their neck they're gonna be thinking of you.

  • Lastly you can't go wrong with a little bit of timeless jewelry and here's when I'm gonna put my shameless plug

  • But I came out with a collection with Mejuri

  • and I'm so proud to say that each one of these pieces is something that a person can wear every single day

  • They're made from precious metals so they're not going to make your finger green

  • and they're perfect for layering. I love each piece from the collection and I think they'd be a beautiful gift for someone special.

  • Lastly we've got the beauty junkie.

  • That's the one friend that is obsessed with all makeup and skincare.

  • My first idea for a stocking stuffer is gonna be some face masks.

  • These are by Dr Jart which is a Korean brand.

  • I love their face masks so much because they're very effective and they all target something different.

  • For example, this one brightens. This one minimizes pores. The list goes on.

  • This is something that you can just stuff in a stocking and something a girl can put on when they wanna pamper themselves.

  • Another great gift idea is Bite Beauty's Multi Sticks.

  • These are a great gift for the girl that loves multifunctioning products.

  • Each one of these sticks works in three ways. You can wear it as a lipstick, eyeshadow, and a blush.

  • As you can see they come in a medley of different colors, but my personal favorites are Praline and Brioche

  • I know Stephanie really likes Brioche too and it looks beautiful on her lips.

  • I really love the way that they blend and they're easy to work with.

  • Lastly every beauty junkie wants a little bit of Kylie or at least they're interested on what the hype's all about.

  • So here is her holiday 2016 palette. There are a total of nine shades.

  • Each one is very pigmented very blendable. You've got shimmers and some mattes.

  • and I can imagine so many different types of looks you can create with the one pallette
