I don't know about you, but when the holiday season comes rolling around my mind goes crazy thinking about gift ideas. I'm always debating about what to get for everyone, if it's thoughtful and original, and if my wallet can afford it all. In all honesty it's probably the most stressful time of the year, BUT it is also the most wonderful time of the year (see what I did there?), because I love giving and spreading Christmas cheer.
This past weekend Sarah (my friend and roomie) and I went to a local holiday market in Tucson hosted by "Cultivate Tucson". I went in with full intentions of checking a few gifts of my list. Not only was I able to do so, but I also got inspiration to make this blog post on a simple gift guide for anyone who gets as stumped finding gifts as I do. After visiting Cultivate Tucson I decided I personally wanted to support local/small businesses as much as I could this year. I really encourage everyone reading to try and shop local. Not only would you be supporting your community, but the gifts are unique and one of a kind. This is personally my favorite part about shopping with small businesses. This gift guide isn't specifically for small/local businesses only. I just wanted to express my love for small/local businesses this season and hopefully inspire you to check them out! Here are a few photos I took of the event.
This gift guide specifically aims towards girls who are teens and young adults, but these gifts could be loved for those who are older too. I wanted to make this guide as simple as possible, and hopefully it can spark more great ideas into your mind. I hope you enjoy!

1. Bath Bombs: You can find these anywhere and they are super affordable. Lush is known for their bath bombs, but there are many other brands that make them. They make great stocking stuffers!
2. Polaroid camera: This is definitely a gift that can be put to good use, and right now the instax mini can be found for as low as $49!
3. Essential Oil Diffuser (Aromatherapy): This has changed my life, no joke. I highly, highly, recommend. I got mine from Amazon and it's a mini version.
4. Essential Oils: Essential oils help with so many things and they have many benefits. These can be used these for the essential oil diffuser or simple everyday use.
5. Makeup brushes: Ulta has really great brushes for an affordable price .
6. Candles: Bath and Body Works is my go-to spot for great holiday scents.
7. Fuzzy blankets: During the winter season all you want to do is watch Netflix and curl up in a big blanket. This will for sure make a great gift.
8. Water bottles/ mugs/ cups: I'm not sure if it's just me, but I am o b s e s s e d with water bottles. I own a Hydro Flask and I use it every single day. It has helped me get through a lot (and I mean a lot) of hot days here in Arizona. I know Hydro Flasks are more on the pricy side, but they are worth the money. However, there are many other water bottles out there that I have heard good things about as well. Starbucks cups/mugs are also great gifts.
9. Journals/ planners: As the new year comes around a planner would be perfect to give as a gift. Even a journal is great to document for the new year. Target and Barnes & Noble are the two places I recommend to check out.
10. Sweaters/ jackets: North Face jackets are great quality, and the one shown below is really nice because it's soft and fuzzy.
