So Christmas is right around the corner people! 11 days to be exact. Which means now is crunch time to finish shopping for everyone left on your list!
Christmas time is the best! I love giving out gifts, and watching someone open up a gift and love it as much as you had hoped for! It’s kind of like a confidence booster when your mom or best friend actually loves what you got them! Especially when you put so much time and effort trying to find the perfect gift for someone!
My favorite thing to do is give someone a bit of a unique gift. Not something super weird, but outside of their normal wishlist! It’s super fun, and they won’t have anything like it! Below are a few of my ideas, and they all are super easy to create and very affordable!
Unique Christmas Gifts
- Jar of memories. My high school best friend did this for me for a birthday, and I thought it was super sweet and was really unique. Find a jar or box and fill it up with little notes of memories between you and that person. They will love it!
- Subscription box. They are all the rage lately, but you usually don’t think to gift them to a friend or family member! Who wouldn’t love to receive a whole box of goodies, or a pair of Prada sunglasses each month!? I have two deals for you guys right now! I have partnered up with Lilee (read my whole review on their lifestyle and beauty box here) to give one lucky winner two Lilee boxes full of awesome goodies! Enter on my Instagram (running 12/14- 12/16) Also, right now you can get one month FREE of designer sunglasses using the code “theblonderlife” on Ditto during checkout! You could use your free month to give as a gift to your sister, or bestie and then simply cancel after a month!
- Gifts in a jar. Grab a mason jar from your local Hobby Lobby and fill it up with whatever goodies you find! There’s a ton of recipes on Pinterest for cookies or other treats! Or find a few girly items like nail polish, and lotion. These are the best for co-workers, or maybe your favorite hairdresser. They’re super easy to make and show someone you were thinking about them! I have given this one to friends on their birthdays and they were a big hit!
- Painted mug. This might sound so elementary, but sometimes the best gifts are homemade! Grab a white mug from any home store and let your creative juices flow!
Super cute sunnies and love these ideas! Happy Friday!

Glad you loved the ideas! I think a subscription box is such a great thing for someone who already has it all! Then they get to try out different products!
Great gift ideas! I did painted mugs last year and they were a hit. I also love your idea of memories in a jar <3

The gift in a jar idea is so cute! I’ll probably gift a few to my roommates and friends from home. Also, I’ve never thought of gifting a subscription box to someone! Something I’ll have to look into doing.
WE gift a lot of subscription boxes! My dad is obsessed with the shaving one from Harrys!
Great idea! Love those sunnies!
Love your sunnies! and I love your sweater, too.
