1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15
1. 'Hello Gorgeous' Mug: a great little reminder on a pretty little mug. :) You can't go wrong with this one - and it's only $5!

2. Stila Liquid Lipstick Set: I love that these liquid lipsticks come pre-packaged in a gift set! They make it so easy to gift this and the included shades are so pretty and they really do last all day long! The entire set is $20, so it's a perfect standard gift.

3. Vueve Clicquot Rosé: yes way, this is the best rosé (ever)! Bottles of wine are something you likely have around the house anyway, so they are super easy to gift especially for a last minute party.

4. Vanity Cosmetic Case: this is my favorite makeup bag ever - so cute and so perfect for travel! You could even fill it with some makeup goodies and gift it that way!

5. Capri Blue Volcano Candle: if you haven't smelled this candle yet, buy 3 - because you'll be burning it nonstop! It's the exact smell of what any Anthropologie store smells like, and I'm pretty sure that's one of the best scents ever. Candles are always a perfect last minute gift and I think this Blue Volcano candle can be classified into the "everyone loves this scent" folder. ;)

6. Portable Charger: everyone could use one of these! These chargers make an awesome gift and they're great to have a couple of just incase.

7. Knit Throw Blanket: real life: I'm addicted to throw blankets. I can never pass up a super soft and cozy blanket, so if I don't steer clear of a store's home section I'm definitely coming home with at least one new blanket! Hah! This sweater knit throw comes in 5 colors, 3 different sizes and is the perfect weight for year-round use, making it the perfect any-time gift! (Plus, people just really like blankets. Duh)

8. Bath Bomb Set: could you ever, ever go wrong with bath bombs? This set looks like a box of truffles and is a great multi-occasion gift for all of your girlfriends.

9. Floral Pitcher: this would be great for a hostess or housewarming gift - it's the perfect size and even would look beautiful as part of a centerpiece with some flowers in it! I looove the floral print, just so pretty!

10. Stud Earrings: these are the prettiest earrings ever - they look SO real! They come in silver, gold and this rose gold color and could easily be gifted for just about any occasion.

11. Kate Spade Card Case: this is another great gift for nearly any occasion - you could even fill the card case with a few gift cards! Gift cards are one of those universal "perfect" gift options, especially if your'e stuck on ideas, but make it a little more fun and add this pretty little card case to the mix. These have replaced using full-sized wallets for me for the most part and I love it! They take up such little room!

12. Bar Cart Coffee Table Book: I love gifting coffee table books just as much as I love to receive them! They're so fun and can be used for so many different spots to decorate your home with. This Bar Cart book is on sale for $15 right now and it's something the hostess will love.

13. Essie Polish Spring Collection Set: the spring collection of Essie polishes are sooo pretty! They come in this little box, making it a great gift to give - or even to buy and use for yourself! ;)

14. Gold Constellation Necklace: this one is a little more specific, but it's an affordable and thoughtful gift that so many girls in your life would love!

15. Distressed Wood Frame: probably one of the easiest last-minute gifts to give - get a meaningful picture printed for the frame and gift it! It's thoughtful and something everyone will love.
