Gift Guides – Chasing Laines

‘Tis the season: 10 gifts for under $25.

12-12-17

I rounded up 10 of my favorite gifts that are under $25. What a steal.

City Glasses Case

Everyone has glasses or sunnies. My favorite part about this gift is that the cases are city-themed. Have a friend in NYC, loves LA or just made a trip to Paris? There’s one for each.

ASOS Scarf

I’ll argue that scarfs are great gifts for anyone. ASOS has beautiful, affordable scarfs.

Madewell Pouch

I love the minimal print of this Madewell pouch. Perfect for an everyday makeup bag or travel pouch.

Glossier Face Paint

Okay, so it’s no surprise I love Glossier. But, I’m telling you, their products are gift-worthy. Not only do I personally use them every day, but each online purchase comes with fun stickers and their signature pink, bubbly bag.

Whiskey Stones

UncommonGoods is a goodie for unique, personal gifts. They have chillers shaped in golf balls, hockey pucks and nautical whiskey stones. Perfect for any hobby.

Vintage Earrings

I love these vintage-looking earrings from Urban Outfitters.

“Cool Enough” Sleeping Mask

Too cool for words.

Bath Salts

These bath salts are a great gift from someone on your list that needs some R&R.

Cat Person Mug

I love, love these mugs from Anthropologie. There’s a mug for every type of person: dog, cat or people person.

W&P Cocktail Kit

Do you have someone on your list that travels? Great. I’ve helped you check someone off your list. W&P makes cocktail-flight kits for all types. My choice is hot toddies; ’tis the season.

What’s On My List This Year.

12-04-17

For once, I’m not scattered, throwing things on my list last minute, sending off links to my loved ones. I’ve actually had a handful of things on my list that I’ve been eyeing for quite a few months. Not only is my list ahead of schedule, but I’m almost finished shopping for my family and friends. Yes, it’s a miracle. See below for some of the things on my list this year.

Nike Classic Cortez

Can you ever have enough sneakers? I’ve been eyeing these for a while, I love the black and white contrast and their unique shape.

Everlane Jeans

Back to the basics. I’ve been hearing great things about Everlane jeans so I want to give them a try. Preferably in all colors.

Nude Sneakers

I told you I wanted more sneakers.. but seriously.

Classic Black Leather Strap Watch

I barely ever wear something on my wrist. I love the idea of throwing on a classic, leather strap watch every day.

Striped Cigarette Pants

My favorite thing about these pants is that they are both professional and super comfy. You can dress them up or dress them down; sneakers or booties!

Statement Blazers

I love the bold statement of a colored or patterned blazer. Perfect for work. This mustard-colored one from Mango especially caught my eye.

Shoe Dog By: Phil Knight

I’ve heard this book is inspiring – I’m all about reading books about successful people and how they got there.

Glossier Moon Mask

Trying new face masks is one of my favorite pastimes. Glossier is one of my favorite beauty brands and I’ve been eyeing their moon mask.

The Five Minute Journal

I’m that person that reads those articles listing the best ways to be productive or increase efficiency. The Five Minute journal has tons of success reviews and has been featured in HuffPost and Business Insider. I’ll give it a try.
