It's that time of year again and before everyone is swept away with the season, I wanted to share my approach for shopping for gifts to help make it easy on you!

I'm going to break down this gift guide by type of recipient and share a couple ideas for that person in your life. 

1. Someone super close to you like a mom, daughter, or sister. Someone you want to spend over $200 on. (Or maybe you're forwarding this to your husband/wife/partner to give them a little hint.)

+ Sling Bag or Big Sling - they are our best sellers for a reason! If you're debating which color to pick, you really can't go wrong, as we've selected really good neutral colors that will work all year round.

+ Earring Club Subscription - You can cancel this subscription any time you'd like, so can do 6 months or a whole year.

+ The Tote Bag - for the splurge!

2. A good friend. Someone who is a constant in your life, but you'd like to show you care without breaking the bank. ;)

+ Necklace Bar - choose your 14k gold filled chain length and the pendant that suits the recipient best.

+ Earring Club Subscription 3 months - 3 pairs of earrings over 3 months. You can cancel the subscription at any time. 

3. The Snowbird (also anyone who lives in a warm climate)

+ Sisal Market Tote - the perfect beach, farmer's market, or everyday tote.

+ Oversized Sisal Tote - such a great bag for the beach if you're carrying towels and toys for little ones. It could also be a decorative basket in a beach house, storing blankets or towels or organizing toys & games. Endless uses!

4. Your neighbor, hairdresser, dog walker or someone you appreciate.

+ Everyday Hoops - super practical and thoughtful, and will appeal to just about anyone

+ Twisted Earrings - a little more unique, but still really minimal and beautiful 

5. Secret Santa (under $50)

+ Cylinder Studs - who doesn't like studs?

6. Hostess Gift

+ Bakuli Bowl - put a bar of soap or bag of candies inside and tie with a ribbon!

7. Unique Gift

+ Hairpin - a really beautiful, timeless piece for anyone with long hair

Disclaimer: I didn't include any rings or bracelets on this guide because sometimes people find sizing to be a challenge. That said, our rings and bracelets are amazing and if you need any help on sizing, please reach out to me abby@abbyalley.com!
