Happy Halloween! Nothing says “Halloween” quite like a holiday gift guide, right?
Emery expressed interest in two styles of Uggs for Christmas. Notice a theme with the lists this year? Lots of Uggs. First, the good news: the Ugg mini platform booties are available. Not only do most department stores have a decent selection, they’re also available on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3tLQat7
Ugg Platform Minis
Now for the bad news: she also wants the platform Tazz slippers in Mustard Seed. Y’all, they are impossible to find. Actually, that’s not true. You can find them on Kicks Crew and eBay, but you’re paying way above the actual price. I’ll link the listing on Kicks Crew. May the odds be ever in your favor. They are cute, though. https://www.kickscrew.com/products/wmns-ugg-tazz-slipper-mustard-seed-1122553-mdsd

The Lulu love doesn’t seem to be going away. Emery asked for several Lululemon items for Christmas. She’s a big fan of the 25″ Align leggings, Swiftly tops and Scuba hoodies. Although I hate spending this much on atheltic clothes, I must admit that she wears them a lot. Too much, in fact, but that’s a discussion for another day. If you’re shopping for a teen girl (or yourself), the leggings are linked here: https://shop.lululemon.com/p/womens-leggings/Align-Pant-2-MD/_/prod8360162
Align Leggings (Cheetah and Lip Gloss)
The race length Swiftly top is linked here: https://shop.lululemon.com/p/tops-long-sleeve/Swiftly-Tech-LS-2-Race/_/prod9750541. I think Emery likes the teal color. The lavender is pretty, too.

Of course a Scuba hoodie is on the list. I like all of these colors! https://shop.lululemon.com/p/womens-outerwear/Scuba-Oversized-12-Zip-Hoodie/_/prod9960807?color=60310

Are we still talking about Stanleys? Yes. Yes, we are. I can’t believe Emery wants another Stanley seeing as how she already has three, but she loves them. They keep ice frozen all day at school and sports and they look super cute when I add her monogram. Emery has become partial to her 30 oz tumbler lately. She loves her 40 oz when heading to the pool or for use at home, but the 30 oz fits in her backpack much more easily. The new Camellia color is what Emery is requesting. It’s occasionally available at Dick’s Sporting Goods here: https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/stanley-30-ozquencher-h2-0-flowstate-tumbler-22stau30zstnlyqnchydb/22stau30zstnlyqnchydb. Many other colors are still in stock. I’ll share some of my favorites below.
Amazon has many of the same colors minus the Camelia. If you want free shipping via Prime, click here: https://amzn.to/3sfI0cg

Emery enjoys her lighted mirror on her vanity. Since we travel quite a bit, I think she would enjoy a travel mirror for her makeup routine. This one on Amazon has great reviews AND it comes with a charger. I almost bought a different brand and then I realized the charger isn’t included. Choosing a color was tough!

Travel Mirror
Speaking of travel, I love gifting Emery mini cosmetics in her stocking. Not only are they ideal for travel, but they also allow her to try a bunch of different products without a huge commitment or price tag. The first product that caught my eye while browsing is this mini Ambient Lighting Bronzer by Hourglass. It’s so pretty! I might have to add one of these to my stocking as well. The shade “Luminous” is likely the best color for Emery (and me). Grab it here: https://www.sephora.com/product/ambient-lighting-bronzer-mini-P424901
Hourglass Ambient Bronzer (Luminous)
I don’t think Emery has any Hourglass products, so this will be fun to try.
Emery is a big Tarte concealer fan, but she’s never tried the blush. Neither have I, but not for long! This will be in her stocking as well. Side note: I like Nars Orgasm, but I hate the name and don’t want to go there with Emery. Given how much she loves the Tape Shape stuff, I hope she also loves the Amazonian Clay mini compact in shade Seduce. Try it here: https://www.sephora.com/product/amazonian-clay-12-hour-blush-P278610?skuId=2274017

I am a drugstore mascara kind of girl, but Emery likes the fancy stuff. She has been loyal to Big Ego for a while, but I bet she’d like to try something new. I actually did quite a bit of research on this topic and this Benefit Fan Fest mascara has incredible reviews. I’m excited about this: https://www.sephora.com/product/mini-fan-fest-mascara-P506675
Mini Mascara by Benefit
If you travel or simply want to try new brands and products without paying the price for a full size option, minis are the way to go! Amazon is a great resource for mini hair products.
The Slagel ladies love the scent of all the Sol de Janeiro products, from the bum bum cream to their body sprays. I didn’t realize SDJ also has hair products. Even better, they’re available in travel size! I couldn’t add this to my cart quickly enough. https://amzn.to/3FYrMrj
Sol de Janeiro Shampoo and Conditioner
Rounding out the beauty items are compressed facial cleaning sponges. I love that they are made with natural materials and, although they can be reused, they are also disposable. I’m not sure how many times you’d want to reuse a facial sponge, but it can’t be many. I’m sure many fellas could benefit from these as well. Thankfully, they come in black as well as pink and white. Not the most exciting gift, but a useful one. Shop this stocking stuffer here: https://amzn.to/3SmjuR7
Facial Sponges
If Bodie is getting something as boring as socks for Christmas, it’s only fair that Emery also receive socks. However, these are not just any socks. They are the best of the best when it comes to no show socks. These socks are super comfortable and, most importantly, stay in place. I’ve worn these for several months and wish I’d discovered them sooner. Emery steals mine ALL THE TIME. Santa is bringing her a pack for herself. See what all the fuss is about here: https://amzn.to/3MpXvoC. You’re welcome.

As I mentioned in my gift guide for the teen/tween fellas, my kids do not need anything. I like to gift an experience or two mixed in with the tangible gifts. A gift certificate for a facial, manicure or pedicure would be sure to please most teen girls I know. I am also looking at Cirque du Soleil shows near me. I went to a Cirque show many moons ago (pre-kids) and was completely enthralled the entire time. I know Emery would love it, too. Shows are in Atlanta and Charlotte for the next several months, so we’ve got options. https://www.cirquedusoleil.com/ If you haven’t been, go!
Happy shopping!
