hi guys so today's video is the first of
about seven gift guides that I'm going
to be doing and today I wanted to talk
more about things that were under $30.00
and things that would be really great as
stocking stuffers so I'll show you a few
of them here on this video but I've also
got a blog post where I'm listing a
whole lot more like dozens so definitely
check out the blog post in the
description below and let's get started
with a few today so the first item is
this little kit that Helene actually
sent me to try I actually think that
giving something that is from 100% clean
and 100% non-toxic company is really
cool because whenever you're talking in
skincare and you're giving it as a gift
to someone you don't know what kind of
sensitivities they might have or
anything like that so you can feel
really good about the ingredients that
are in these things I would say that
it's a very complete kit if you're
looking for skincare that you could
travel with so let me go into what's
included in the kit the first one is
this cleanser I've used these products
for about a couple weeks to kind of see
like evaluated how they worked on me and
what I found really interesting with a
cleanser is that it actually removed all
of my makeup unless I was wearing like
waterproof mascara so that was a really
nice benefit and it also had a little
bit of a grit to it so it's an ocean
cleanser so that means that it's got sea
minerals in it and then also it's got
algae in it so I think that grit might
actually be some sort of salt I'm not
sure but it was very nice to be able to
have a little bit of exfoliation without
it being too much
next we came with a little toner this
you can either spritz on your face
directly or else you can put it on a
cotton ball and it's got Co Q 10 in it
so that's really great next it comes
with a moisturizer so this one is called
golden hour by Ursa Major it's got very
like a golden sheen that it puts on your
face after I put this on that same
morning I went to go see my mom and
she's like she recognized that my face
was a lot glowy and she just thought
that it was really pretty look so that
was kind of neat she didn't know that I
was wearing this at the time so the
fourth thing it comes with is this hand
soap but it's not just for hands you
could use it on anything actually I love
the way that they put this 100% toxin
free hand body dish
dog delicate skid and everything so
again this is just another reason why
this would be the coolest thing if you
are giving it to someone who's going to
travel home with it doesn't have a lot
of space maybe in their luggage and also
whenever I travel it's really cool to
have a nice soap that I can use at any
moment and then it came with a little
face wipe too so I wanted to show this
on camera so that's why it's not open
yet
so there's actually a deal going on with
this right now Faline has given a promo
code for you guys for the first 100
people who buy the kit it'll be twenty
two dollars which is actually 50% off so
use the promo code bethany and go to
Faline comm slash bethany and i will put
it down in the description below as well
so you guys can click it and get to the
right place if you're shopping for
somebody who spends a lot of time
outside or maybe they stay in a very
cold office very often or maybe they're
just naturally cold natured then this
next gift will be perfect which is this
hand warmer which also works as a phone
charger so you can be warming your hands
and you always have it with you so that
you can charge your phone and you won't
forget one or the other because odds are
you won't have your phone charger and a
hand warmer at the same time anytime
I've used those hand warmers that you
can buy they're just one-time use and
then you'd have to go buy another one
well this is really a lot of a better
option and it's very cute and you can
actually customize it and get just the
right color for the person who's going
to be receiving it something that I
swear by is an eye pillow I love to have
it in my bedside table and just pull it
out whenever I'm having a bad time
trying to fall asleep so I've got one
here which is made out of linen on the
outside and then inside it's got
lavender in it which smells amazing it
helps you relax and it also has flax in
it so that means you can just throw it
in the refrigerator and then it's just
ready for you and it's very soothing I
think it's just the weight of it on my
eyes is refreshing to me and it just
puts me out if I'm having a problem
sleeping at all staying on the subject
of eyes this one is so cool these are a
set of little rocks that are made out of
bedrock from Finland and you just put
them on your eyes while you're
down and they add pressure on your eyes
to really relax them again these are
amazing if you can put them in the
fridge and then just set them on your
eyes and you can have them on for a few
minutes I actually made that try um
yesterday he suffers a lot from like I
strain working on computers and all that
stuff all day and this was so
therapeutic for him he felt like all of
his eye strain was gone so if you know
somebody who has any eye strain or
issues like that or maybe they just
spent a lot of time working at the
computer this would be the perfect gift
for them if you know someone who really
loves candles or books or both then this
would be the perfect gift it's a mini
library tea candle set so it has a ton
of these different tiny candles in them
that each have their own scent and each
scent is inspired by classic works of
books writing so they've got this one
which is Scarlet Letter and it's got a
very like romantic scent to it and warm
and I'm not going to do it justice they
write about it online on the website so
definitely check that out
but each different scent is unique and
honestly depending on what kind of book
I'm reading I could totally pull out a
correlating candle and it would just be
the most amazing experience next I love
kinfolk magazine I've loved it for years
Zach and I have given them to each other
as gifts in the past it's beautiful for
its design its photos and the articles
are very well written it's written for
like a slow lifestyle and it's obvious
when you read this you'll understand
exactly what I mean by that if somebody
decides one day that they didn't want
him anymore or they wanted to try a
different one out we've sold some in the
past and they hold their value very well
even used so it's just a really great
gift and it looks beautiful even just as
decoration on your bookshelf I think
even the healthiest among us really
appreciate some sort of candy or
chocolate when it comes to Christmas
time so one gift that Zach and I
frequently give is mint meltaways so
they come in a little box like this one
this is something that Zach's mom we
always get her for Christmas
they are just a candy box set like you'd
get in a heart-shaped box full of candy
but this one is great for Christmastime
because it's got that beautiful green
color to it as well and it's mint so if
you're having a dinner time party and
you want to bring something having an
after-dinner mint for everybody would be
a really good gift after you've had your
candy then you can definitely have this
one to stuck in a little bit deeper into
a stocking which is a toothbrush so
that's great because it's different than
having like a candy cane or something
and it's also kind of cool because it's
just nice to have in your bathroom that
was the first thing that I noticed when
I first tried one of these bamboo
toothbrushes is that as soon as I put it
in I'm like oh my cabinet looks amazing
now and also I think it's great because
there's so many organic in responsible
ways where this is a really good option
and you might get somebody hooked on
this new lifestyle and that would be
kind of cool
I've got a couple of different lip
products to show because I always have
struggles with chapped lips and this
time of year is extra dry and this is
just a nice gift to give someone because
it's not a specific shade like so many
lipsticks could be very hard to try for
somebody so the first one I want to show
is called lip whip and it's cool because
it's more emollient it's more like a
cream even creamier and I don't know
it's even creamier than a cream if that
makes sense
but I'm wearing it right now and it's
just a nice experience to be able to
have something that's very moisturizing
like lip balm but then it also has a
tint to it I also am wearing this one
which is called the French girl Lai lip
tint it's more of a chapstick but it's
more pigmented like a lipstick if that
makes sense
I say chapstick because it's actually
shaped in something like this it comes
today you know a familiar container but
then when I put it on it has more
pigment than any sort of tinted
chapstick that I've used in the past so
I would say that the difference between
this one and the lip whip is that this
one has more of a concentrated color
they very much pride themselves on it
being a French girl thing and so if you
think of French girl lips they're more
stained
and not with exact lines and that's
definitely how I would classify this I
just tried this one last night which is
wine pearls and they're so cool because
they're little tiny basically circles
that you can put in your freezer and
then just use them whenever you want to
this would be a really great gift for
someone who's like a hostess or
something someone who entertains a lot
or drinks a lot but honestly it could be
really good for somebody who has you
know a soda you could just put and put
some of these in there and it would make
your drink just a lot colder so as
opposed to ice cubes that would really
just melt down and water down your drink
so that's not gonna happen with these
and it just makes your drink ice-cold if
you really wanted to give a gift to
someone that was more clothing related
than the one thing that I should suggest
the most is something that is affordable
and would work well on almost anyone so
the one thing that I know everybody
loves is this everlean Pima rib
scoop-neck and I actually have it in all
three colors because it is a very
versatile and standard piece of clothing
so that's why I cannot recommend it
enough plus it's so affordable and you
could easily just tuck it away in a
stocking it fits next a really great
present to give somebody is a sheet mask
and I really like this one it's the
organic sheet mask and it's vitamin C so
that is going to help a lot if you want
to brighten anything up and also it's
got a little bit of a scent to it and
that comes from having a probiotic in it
that is very amazingly powerful so I put
this on for about 20 minutes and it
makes your pores shrink and it also just
makes your whole skin glow and look very
even so I would definitely recommend
this plus I think it costs around $6 but
definitely look at the link down below
and you can find out more information
there as for nails I love to give a
little bottle of nail polish for anybody
for birthdays or like any sort of gift
would be perfect and stockings would be
absolutely perfect for having nail
polish so this is the nail polish that I
usually use I think that it's great
because the gel polish makes your nail
flexible and durable and then also the
color of it everybody who sees this
color nail on me aren't like they just
love it so much and they ask like what
color is it and so that's when I started
giving it as a gift any time that
someone receives this then they wear it
and they love it and they get
compliments so I know that this is a
winner and so this is called pinned up
and it is by Essie so I've used this
religiously so you guys might not know
this about me but I used to work at a
retail store and it was an adventure
when it came to be Christmas time
everybody was looking for just the right
gift to give someone and one of the most
common gifts was candles but it was very
specific you know to whoever was
receiving it today I wanted to give an
example of something that I use all the
time and it will be such a great gift
for anybody receiving it that is candle
sticks so I like to have the ones that
are made out of beeswax because there's
just very clean smelling and I've also
heard that when it burns then it
actually purifies the air in it and so
they usually are made with cotton wicks
I like the ones that are handmade in a
very 1700s fashion but that's just me
going along with that theme for the
candlestick holder I got this one this
is something that I really love because
it's more of a pewter it's very
beautiful it's very 1700s so I always
have it going when I am you know getting
ready for the night and then reading my
book this is an experience that I have
every night and so I just think that
this is a great gift to give someone
because anyone can have candlesticks
going on in their house as long as you
can find one that fits that person's
aesthetic home aesthetic and I think
that you can get away with not having
this take over their aesthetics of their
house you know what I mean just finding
a very basic one I'll leave a link down
to one I believe is a really great
choice and you can also just look on
etsy for something vintage so these are
just a few things that I put as a whole
list on my blog post so definitely check
that out I've got just dozens based on
what category that they're in and don't
forget to check out the full een clean
essentials kit I left a link down the
description below but again that's at
flea and Comm / Bethany and then use the
promo code Bethany at checkout and I
see you guys next time bye
