If the weather outside didn’t already say something, the holidays are here (yay!). This time of year is more commonly associated with boots, scarves, and everything Starbucks, but someone said it right by calling ‘the season of giving’. From Secret Santa to simple holiday gestures, trying to find the right gift can get stressful, but it doesn’t have to be.

This seasons’ most popular holiday gift list is sure to make life just a little less complicated.

  1. Fuzzy Socks / Blankets. If it’s warm and comforting, add it to the list. Especially with colder weather coming in, fuzzy socks, blankets – sweaters, even – are the perfect way to go for a classic winter gift. It’s sure not to disappoint!
  2. Lush Bath Bombs. Yes, yes, this gift idea is particularly for girls, but at least guys know what to get their girlfriends! Bath bombs, for those who don’t know, are hand-packed minerals, exfoliates, and moisturizers for the body that disperse upon contact with water. Just what a girl needs to let off some steam and treat herself to relaxing spa-day at home.
  3. Peppermint Bark. There are certain foods that symbolize everything about the holidays and this happens to include two: peppermint and bark (what more is there to ask for?). Mix the ultimate winter spice with a dark chocolatey crunch and it’s a duo that is sure to dance on taste buds.
  4. Alex & Ani Bracelets. This trendy line of bracelets is slowly making its way to every jewelry box. Advertised for giving off a specific ‘positive energy’, this bracelet craze is in the recycled metals they’re made of as well as the simplicity behind each design. Jewelry can be tricky, but no one’s ever gone wrong with a bracelet that goes with everything.
  5. Mug & Coffee Beans. The easiest way around finding a holiday gift: a fun or cute mug with a pack of coffee (Starbucks has really nice ones) inside and it’s a gift that’s not only useful, but also appreciated. The world pretty much runs on coffee, so what’s better than having someone remember you when they drink it? *Coffee can always be replaced with hot cocoa or tea to accommodate anyone.
  6. Fitbit. Feeling thrifty? Invest in something that’ll be put to good use – a Fitbit. Help your friend stay healthy while practicing the same lifestyles. Talk about a win-win!

This list makes shopping sound so much easier, doesn’t it? So go ahead, grab some Auntie Anne’s and enjoy the holiday classics that ring throughout the mall. This holiday experience will be an easy one.
