MOMMA’S GIFT GUIDE… great gifts for women (yourself included)

Doing my best, “for me?!” face… but who are we kidding, I’ve been buying my own christmas gifts for the last 20 years…

Thanksgiving has passed and it’s time to plan for christmas and all the great gifts for women on your list! For your mom’s, daughters, sisters, friends, co-workers and, yes, even yourself!  Great gifts for women at every price and every lifestyle – I’m going to break it down, and share some of my favorite things… Trying to figure out those perfect items for the people you love can be daunting, the key is to relax and truly understand it really is the thought that counts…  And if you have to go the sephora gift card route she’ll still be happy!  Ha Ha! I will say, great gifts for women don’t have to be that difficult – you can go thoughtful and sentimental, practical (as long as you’re not shopping for your wife), something funny, or something she would never think to get for herself – try to enjoy the journey.  You don’t have to spend a lot to make the great ladies in your life happy so there are some fantastic options for under $100 as well.  Check out my favorite gifts for women and pass the eggnog because it’s time to start the festivities!
