Now for the super fun holiday list– gifts for your girls! Shopping for the ladies in your life, whether they are your coworkers, friends from school, cousins, sisters, etc., seems like an easy task, until you get out to the stores or go online and find sooooooo many different options that you can’t see straight. To narrow everything down a bit for you, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite picks that your girls will absolutely love!
1. Cozy Up!

Winter and the holidays mean it’s time to get as close to hibernating as we physically can. To us, that means being “basic” and embracing all things cozy and warm– think hot chocolate, Starbucks, mittens, scarves, and hats! Share this love of yours with your girls this year, with an adorable mug (we adore Ashley Brooke Designs!), or some comforting and sweet nail polish (Essie anyone?).
2. Spa Day!

Speaking of nail polish, why not throw your girls a little “spa day” party? Sometimes (and by sometimes, we mean all the time) during the holiday season, we can get so ridiculously busy buying gifts for our family and friends that it’s hard to spend ACTUAL time with them! Take a night to slow down within the next couple weeks, invite the ladies in your life over and have at it with nail polish (or these awesome Jamberry nail wraps — no mess!). Add in some beverages and snacks, and what more could you possibly want?
3. Holiday “Magic” 😉

If you’re anything like us, you thought Magic Mike XXL was one of the best feel-good movies ever, not only for the awesome dancing, but for its messages about friendship and life. The ladies in your life will appreciate this movie on DVD or Blu-Ray, no doubt. Complete the present with popcorn and a bottle of wine, and give them the ultimate girls’ night in. PS – At first we were a little apprehensive to post the MMXXL movie poster to our blog due to the intense abs-age, but you know what? If this is wrong then we don’t want to be right. 😉
4. Hydration Station

Drinking the recommended 6-8 cups of water per day will be easy as pie with a cute water bottle or tumbler. Four Sisters Boutique (online and over in Rockbrook Village) carries these adorable and stylish Kate Spade tumblers, along with a selection of other water bottles. Get one for yourself, too, and then you and your besties will be prepared to hit the gym once the New Year hits (and take plenty of gym selfies!).
5. Deck the Halls

We really delved into the world of wall art and prints when we moved in to our own apartments which happened to be around the time when we started Basic Bash Events, and we are so happy we did! There are so many amazing artists out there who create such beautiful prints that could literally work anywhere (your living room, your desk, your dorm, your kitchen, and even your bathroom!). There are so many different options, different quotes, and different styles of these prints out there, so it’ll be easy to find something that would speak to any of your girl friends! We especially love the art of Evelyn Henson and the beautiful photographs from the Anna with Love shop!
6. Sweet Thang

And finally, if you are at a loss as to what you should get your girl friends this holiday season, always know that you can never go wrong with some homemade goodies! Have your friends be your guinea pigs and try out some new dessert recipes you found on Pinterest, or entice them with an old favorite that you’ve made for them before! Some of our faves include Kayla’s labor intensive fruit pizza and Angela’s sweet and buttery caramel puff corn 🙂
We hope you loved this list and got some great ideas for your own special ladies in your life! We may or may not have consulted this same list for eachother’s gifts but let’s keep that on the DL. 😉
