gift guide 2019

SHOPChloe Gordon

This year has flown by. It’s insane. I think, of all the years I’ve been alive, this is the year that has consisted of the most change. For better or worse, everything has changed. If you asked me a year ago where I’d be I would have stared at you like you were the devil. It was a question that freaked me out. I had no idea where I’d be or what I’d be doing or who I’d still be in touch with. In the past year I’ve graduated college, began and ended friendships and relationships, moved to Alabama to live with my grandfather, started, ended, and searched for jobs. I’ve cried, I’ve laughed, and I’ve cried while laughing. It’s been a lot, but mostly in the best way possible. Not to get cheesy or dramatic but I think the holidays are so special because it’s the time of year where we reflect upon the past and make goals for the future. It’s kind of like a reset and a revamp if you will. Plus, it’s nice to be surrounded by family and friends.
I really love the holiday season if you can’t tell.

That being said, the holidays can be stressful when it comes to gifts. I know we all like to believe that the holidays aren’t just about giving and receiving gifts, but we all know deep down that they are a big part of it. It’s how we show our appreciation and thanks to those that we love. And, I don’t know about you, but I love to give people the most perfect present ever. I’ve compiled a set of gifts that I think would be perfect to give any woman in your life. Whether it be for your mom, sister, cousin, aunt, grandma, etc. There’s a range of prices and reasons in this guide, but I hope that they can at least inspire a gift for someone that you love + maybe make it a little easier on you as well.

Happy shopping!

gift guide : on a college student budget

RANDOM STUFF, CollegeChloe GordonComment

When I was in high school I never believed the whole “college budget” thing. The thing was, I didn’t understand college finances. I mean, there’s a Starbucks five minutes walking from my dorm. There’s a huge fancy mall just a short bus ride away. And don’t even get me started on all of the delicious restaurants that can be delivered thanks to an on campus delivery service. College life is easy, but I’m spending way more money than I ever expected. Next year I’m sure to be a broke college student.

However, with the holidays coming up, it’s time to buy gifts for all of my friends. I have always been the kind of person that is obsessed with gift giving. I love brainstorming what to give who and then finding that perfect item. It’s somewhat of a scavenger hunt with such a rewarding ending. I’ve compiled a list of gifts that I want to get my friends and they all happen to be under $25 which is awesome. 

Let me know in the comments below what you’re giving and/or what’s on your list! I’d love to know!

Graduation is right around the corner.. It’s such a bittersweet time of the year. On one hand, I am done with the first chapter of my life and get to start a new awesome college filled chapter, but on the other hand, I have to say goodbye to everything I’ve known for the first 19 years of my life. It’s weird. But because graduation is coming up, so are graduation parties. I’m starting to brainstorm what I want to get my friends so I decided I’d share some of my thoughts with you all in cause you’re wondering what you should get a friend, daughter, niece, or etc. 

Stella and Dot necklace What’s a better way to remember all your high school memories than wearing something around your neck and close to your heart. A cute and dainty necklace can be worn at all times, with any outfit, and is the perfect thing to take to college to remember everything great about high school.

Dormify pillow Having a cozy bedroom is so important in college, so give your friend/grad a pillow to help jumpstart the dorm decorating process. Dormify has millions of cute pillows to choose from that match tons of different personalities and styles. You’re guaranteed to find the perfect match. 

bando agenda College is a busy and stressful time, but having a cute agenda fixes all of those problems. Your grad will love this agenda and will be eternally thankful for it when she’s stressed out next year! 

urban outfitters tote bag A cute tote bag is definitely a necessity. Your grad is inevitably going to be lugging around books, papers, and her computer around campus so make sure she looks great when strutting around campus. 

jcrew night gown College is essentially a big sleepover, so a great set of PJs are definitely in order. This J.Crew nightgown is not one to miss out on! 

rifle paper co. grad card Of course, money is always a great option. Or a gift card, preferably Starbucks. But if you do go the money/gift card route, be sure to put it in an adorable card! Nothing’s better than good stationary. 

What are you buying for your grad? 
If you're a grad, what do you wish to receive?
