hello friends welcome back to my channel if you're new welcome my name is
Christine my name is Brandon today we have a special guest here and Brandon
and I are actually gonna do a gift guide so if you guys haven't met him before
this is my boyfriend we are gonna do like a three different sections so we're
gonna do like a under $25 - around - gift ideas for his and hers and
then we're gonna do an around $50 and then we're gonna do $100 plus so that's
gonna be more of a like significant other or if you do have a great friend
now or you just want to be bougie and it's like a really special - over $100
before we go ahead and get started first make sure you hit the subscribe button
if you haven't already and a little notification bell without further ado
let's go ahead and get started okay so first things we want to talk about is
around $25 gift ideas for guys and so some of the ideas that he had would be
we're gonna start off with some basics I guess nothing out of the ordinary here
but I thought of like beanies I think a lot of Christine's followers are also in
Washington is freaking cold up there yeah
socks recently found out that Uniqlo has like the best socks so you only like
three or four dollars yes you can get like a bunch of socks I also like have
some baseball hats over here those sometimes are a little more than 25
dollars depending on length on sale or not but you could even get like Nike
hats Adidas hat yeah usage cheap things to get people if you buy a bundle of
things like you get someone like a baseball cap and like the couple pairs
of socks it makes it a little bit of a more like cooler gift and it makes it
feel a little bit more personalized as opposed to getting like someone a gift
card for $25 yeah if you're gonna get someone a gift card it should be at
least like fifty forty or fifty dollars feel like for girls under $25 category
is a little bit easier skincare sets are amazing list is such a good like
affordable skincare sent in they're sold at Sephora so we have this set here and
I'll put on the screen how much it is valued at and how much it retails for
the other day we were in Nordstrom and they have like yes sections that are
like this section is like $25 around 25 yeah there's like a 5500
and you can always get like easy gift sets for people never go wrong with lip
balm Laneige me some of the best lip balms ever and the
set is super affordable and I feel like it's such an easy gift like it works for
any type of girls they like makeup or if they don't I also love the set bye peace
out skin care they're sold at Sephora Sephora also has like a really
affordable section as well and this set retails for $25 and inside you get like
acne patches you get under eye patches micro needling dots portraits so I think
this is a really great value usually if I'm shopping for someone in that range I
like to get them more than just one thing instead of like one $25 item it
just feels a little bit more personalized I think it's more special
when you buy them like sets and stuff like that down here we have this store
called burrow that has like really cool little like knickknacks things maybe
like coasters might be good cookbooks things like that like people are gonna
appreciate just because a lot of times they're not gonna spend the time - or
money and go out and get those like little simple things yeah so you can
also go to Sephora and like in their little checkout section there's like a
whole tons of like minis so you can always get someone like a couple of
minis and throwing a little mug or candle or something like that to kind of
make it feel a little bit more special but should personalized mugs yeah
personalized money and then sugarfina are they have like those little cubes of
candies and I love getting bougie candy its bougie candy and I think it's a
really great thing if you bought something for them around $15 and you
feel like you don't know what else to add you can pop in a couple of those
candies and so there's like a ton of little things that you can add in to
kind of just spruce up a gift other things that I thought would be cute are
like slippers that you can wear around the house is always cute and that's
great to give to a family member or like someone at your office fuzzy socks you
can never have too many he's added a couple of fuzzy socks to some of the
gifts that he's giving me in the past and I love them I wear them so much I
also have been talking about reusable bamboo rounds all the time and if you
know someone that's like really into skincare you can get them a set of like
reusable bamboo rounds off of Amazon for around $10 maybe if you buy them like
acute skincare set Sephora and then throw in the reusable cotton rounds as
well I think that would be a really cute idea and then next let's go into the
under $50 category so aside from like the obvious gift cards you can always
get someone like an Amazon or uber card for someone around $50 what would
you get a guy so I kind of thought some things that Christine's gotten me
overnight bags might be really good possibly overnight bags are like makeup
bags for guys by the way I said possibly like vans you can get like slip-ons or
something like that for like around $50 I also said gym clothes I think gym
clothes you can go shop like Nike or something you can get like someone maybe
like a couple like gym shirts a pair of shorts and like he's really into golf so
you know the person that you're shopping for if you know them really well you can
always get them things that you know they would use like tees golf ball no
I'm asking for yeah exactly he's like teeth a little ball up I know that he
plays soccer he plays socks he could always use golf
balls he can never have enough so you know the person that you're shopping for
you'll be on my Christmas list every single year's yeah well just get
something that you know they will use for sure especially if you are spending
around $50 you can get someone a Hydra flash I use my high classes every single
day it's usually not something that people think of buying for themselves
cuz it's like $50 for water bottle so it would be a really great gift ideas
especially if you find one in like a cute color it would be a really cool
gift for someone for girls I feel like perfume minis a lot of times Sephora and
Nordstrom have like little perfume sets so you can get them a little sampler set
so they can try out a couple of perfumes at once we also saw some great throw
blankets yeah and or trim they have like throws
in their home like section for under fifty dollars so you can get someone
like a really nice throw that they can put on their bed on their couches or
even just like a fuzzy blanket for them to have you could also get them like
Sephora skincare sets this is a great set it's fifty dollars but it's valued
at seventy-six dollars and so we have lots of goodies here from glow recipe so
I feel like Sephora makes some really great sets and a lot of the times in the
set is too worth so much more than you actually pay for so you can get someone
like a cute little skin care routine or a little makeup set for like Benefit
Cosmetics there's just always so many sets at Sephora that you can get also if
it's around the 50 dollar range you can start getting into personalized things
him and I were shopping for one of our like family friends and we almost got
them coasters with like their initials on them so that would be good for their
house we really like going to like flea markets I kind of thought
the person that you're shopping for is like also into that type of thing you
can go get some really cool like vintage tees yeah I'm get like quite a few cool
like vintage tees maybe relax for girls I love buy my jewelry at flea markets
for my sister I've found a couple of necklaces and rings that I've gotten her
at flea markets that usually are valued out so much more than what I get for
them the only thing about shopping at flea markets is I feel like it has to be
for like a good friend because you can't buy used okay I can't buy you stuff for
someone that you don't know that well or that doesn't appreciate it my sister
also got me a makeup bag off of Amazon they'll go ahead and put like a thing on
the screen but I love that makeup bag I have used it so much and there's
different sizes of it that you can get as well so if you're shopping for
someone that travels a lot or even if you just want to get someone like a cute
makeup bag I would never think of going out and getting something like that for
myself you could always get like a cute little makeup bag and then fill it with
makeup as well like a couple minis from Sephora I thought of four things for her
I like shopping in a ritzy Oh a lot for girls like my sister her my mom that's
just like a staple store that has a lot of really great yeah simple pieces
probably should be in like a lot of girls closets for his sister I got her
like a long sleeve bodysuit that's super cute you get them like a really
comfortable long-sleeve shirt or t-shirts that you know that they're
gonna use and then throw in a couple of minis that you can buy like them a pair
of glove or fuzzy socks and just throw it to make it kind of like a cute bundle
next let's go ahead and talk about like the $100 plus gift ideas so I feel like
these are gifts that you are gonna get like a really close family member or
like a really close friend or even like a significant other best friend yeah
best friend as far as clothing I think you can now
start looking at getting people like staple pieces maybe in their closet or
like shoes like I thought your miracle may day Garcon CBG whatever I got moves
like CDG converse and those are around like 120 or 150 I forget those are
definitely more than that one idea and you're gonna wear them
especially in this price range I like shopping for things that people wouldn't
think of getting for themselves I had one of my really close girlfriends it
was her birthday and her birthday is really close to Christmas and so I got
her her favorite like hourglass primer that I know she loves and she always
talks about it being so expensive and she never wants to buy it again so I
bought her one of those I bought her to like a beauty blender and then threw in
like some candy and little miscellaneous things you could also get them like
personalized leather goods like I've gotten him Oh show them your little bag
I know we said like overnight bachelor around the 50 but Christine got me like
this one that was pretty nice it's like good quality leather yeah and it's also
like got my initials as y'all can see that it's pretty big and it has like a
little shop if you own a whole day that's all leather and actually got them
from Etsy I also did get him this wallet ready boom yeah bone you can get like
nice wallets maybe but Etsy has a lot of really great personalized things I've
seen personalized necklaces gold bracelet you can get really good leather
goods on there for like a more affordable price because I feel like if
you get something like that Nordstrom it ends up being a lot more expensive I
love shopping on Etsy especially if you are shopping ahead of time things
usually take like two to three weeks to get out so you want to make sure that
you're getting things like soon his overnight bag I got all three of your
initials on there so it's just be JW something like that is really cool
because then they know that you didn't just buy it from a generic store you had
it personally made for them so those are always great ideas and you're supporting
a good local business exactly and always get a girl like a cardholder and have
like her initials engraved on them Coriana is a leather store here in
California they offer personalization for like ten dollars and they do it
really really quick as well as you can always get cute things on there and then
I've also previously gotten him like Bose speakers yeah that he loves and
uses I feel like that's not something that people normally think of splurging
on themselves I would say the bosons are definitely like probably a little more
but like we have I think a few that Bluetooth speakers bluetooth speakers
that you've either been sent or gifted yeah bought them bought it bought it but
yeah regardless I mean there's like a bunch of really great little portable
speakers this one is from Ankur and this is the anchor sound core and I
think it's on Amazon for under $100 but these are great like you saying for
someone that throws parties it's super loud it's also like pretty water
resistant so I think that's kind of a cool idea to give someone it's really
like outside the box I previously got him the new air pods but if you have a
bigger budget and especially if you are gifting for someone that is like you're
a significant other and you're willing to spend a little bit more money I think
it's great to get them luxury goods that they wouldn't normally bash themselves
but aren't popular or things that people just use all the time for girls it
cosmetics makes amazing brushes and they're so expensive
but ease RTC's like yourself some artists brushes it cosmetics makes great
brushes but their brushes are so expensive but they do sell them and set
so I think this time of year is a great time to get someone like a really nice
brush set especially because like for me whenever I look at expensive brushes I'm
like am I really gonna spend fifty to sixty dollars on a brush but if you get
someone a brush set I think that's a really great gift idea you can get them
like little oboe candles his sister is all about luxe expensive sense and then
especially if you are able to spend around a hundred dollars you can get
them like nicer of the rose we're going through Nordstrom the other day and I
just love going to the home good section blankets and like Pottery Barn has some
really great ones but there's are a little bit more expensive and then a
ritzy a close so I feel like when you're spending upwards of a hundred dollars
now you can like actually get to my union size posts in their coats he
previously had gotten me like really cute sweaters or like great high neck
tops I can't really think of like a men's store that's like that honestly
oaken for it's pretty good but it's still not like that guy's like a ritzy
yeah I don't know if you guys have been in there we would used to be in Seattle
they're everywhere I think in Seattle and there's only like there's like two
down here by us and I was big down here because I think they just sell like a
lot of coats and stuff a lot winter pieces that is the one-stop shop for
girls I think yeah and he actually everything he
she introduced me to rats in if you guys watch videos on my channel any of my
signing videos you guys know I'm obsessed with Orencia
and shopping there for my sister for years yeah she's been yeah all about
that story so if you're shopping for like your sister your mom or any type of
girl in your life your girlfriend whatever they have the best stuff and
the only thing is their price point is a little bit higher than like H&M Zara
whatever but the quality is so you pay for what you get you pay for what you
get but it's not like you're paying like for designer prices or brands or
whatever you're just paying for the really nice quality and it's not
especially when you compare it to like rag-and-bone Vince it's less expensive
but the quality is the quality is still there better arguably it's also a great
idea to get people things that they wouldn't get themselves or things that
they couldn't find themselves especially that we live here in LA we have like
huge flea markets that we can get people some really cool things and there's so
many shops around here that we can buy stylish people some really cool style
pieces like they couldn't find and like Nordstrom or other like standard
department stores we're about to do some like shopping for our friends like back
in Seattle the big thing that I said is like I want to get our friends like back
in Seattle things from stores down here that we might not have back in Seattle
so things from like boutiques or small businesses things that are like really
unique are always great gift ideas so that is it for our gift guide I hope you
guys enjoyed it found it helpful if you did don't forget to give the video a big
