There are few things more fun than blowing off a little bit of the stress of the holidays with your favorite girlfriends at a Christmas gift exchange! AND there is no way you want to add more stress to the season by trying to come up with a fun gift idea! That is where we come into your life! 🙂 We have compiled a fun list of easy gift exchange ideas and items! Let us take the stress away so you can just enjoy each other in friendship and fellowship….oh! and drink wine! Haha!
Gift #1: Slate Cheese Board + Local Cheese
How cute is this slate cheese board from Anthropologie! Pair it with a great local cheese and jam you pick up from the farmer’s market or your local grocery store!
Gift #2: A Pop of Glam
Everyone wants to add a little sparkle during the holidays, and earrings make that so easy! Plus, they go with your favorite holiday graphic sweatshirt and jeans to your perfect party look! These rose gold and emerald green two tier gems from J. Crew are a little more expensive but there is almost always a code for a discount! AND not venturing too far…the three tier gemstone earrings from J. Crew Factory can usually be purchased with a discount code, as well.
Gift #3: Whiskey in a Teacup & a Teacup
Feel free to add a bottle of whiskey, too! Haha! But that might put your gift exchange idea over budget!! This is the most delightful book, and it pairs perfectly with a pretty teacup…making tea or coffee time extra special for someone!
Gift #4: Adult coloring book and pencils
Choose your audience wisely as this coloring book is a little off color….no pun intended! BUT it is also pretty funny! And no coloring book would be complete without a set of colored pencils to go with it!
Gift #5: On Trend Hair Accessories
As with the earrings, there is nothing quite like adding a pop of sparkle during the holidays! This set of 7 rhinestone hairpins are so great to enjoy….and you could also divide and re-gift them as stocking stuffers later! 🙂 This bejeweled velvet headband is pretty. The end. It is just so fun paired back to a cozy turtleneck sweater and jeans! A great gift idea!
Gift #6: Dry Bar Travel Set
This is everything you need to keep your hair looking fabulous all in one Dry Bar set! Again…you could divide this up later for stocking stuffers or regroup and pair one of these back to another hair accessory!
Gift #7: HOliday Nail Polish
Everyone loves the latest nail colors, and what better time to give your manicure an upgrade than during the holidays! This is always a popular gift idea for a good reason! This OPI holiday nail polish set is sure to be a winning gift exchange idea!
Gift #8: HOliday CAndle
This is one of my favorite items to buy every Christmas season! I love the smell of fresh Christmas trees during the holiday season! This Capri Blue holiday candle from Anthropologie is one of our absolute favorites and is more reasonably priced than some out there!
Gift #9: HOst-ess-ing coffee table book
This is a new book by Kate Hudson all about hosting and all the joy that goes into that! And who doesn’t love Kate Hudson?!
Gift #10: A Bottle of Wine + Wine Coaster
There are few moms that would turn down a bottle of wine….quality sometimes sacrificed for quantity! But why not make that gift a little more special by adding a wine coaster to the mix?!
Gift #11: Gift Cards
Yes, gift cards are not as sexy as some of these other gifts, but they are always appreciated…especially during the holidays! This Ulta gift card and this Fandango gift card are perfectly universal for any gift exchange!
Gift #12: Blanket Scarf
When those temperatures drop, there is nothing more cozy than a great blanket scarf! We are so in love with this one from Nordstrom! It adds a twist on the normal holiday plaid!
Gift #13: TRavel Lip Set
This travel lip set by Sugar Fresh has everything you need! It is one of the BEST gift exchange items on our list!
Gift #14: Hanky Panky Holiday Box
This makes a great item in a gift exchange! These red Hanky Panky thong gift is sure to add a little spice to your holiday season. AND it is one size fits all!
Gift #15: Bombas Holiday Socks
This is the gift that gives back, donating a portion of profits to those that have the greatest needs! A friend brought these Bombas socks to a gift exchange last year, and they were such a hit!
We hope these gift ideas are JUST what you were looking for!
Merry Christmas!!
