I'm the worst when it comes to receiving gifts (I am so socially awkward when the spotlight is on me when unwrapping gifts), but I love to give gifts! My go-to gifts for girl friends are books, natural beauty products and simple jewelry. Today, I've rounded up ten great Amazon finds that I know my girl friends would love, and are pretty sure yours would, too!
1. Himalayan salt lamp, $23. I've heard incredible things about salt lamps and this is on my Christmas wish list, so I'll report back if I get one! They say that the negative ions released by the heating can boost blood flow, improve sleep, increase serotonin levels in the brain and calm allergy and asthma symptoms.
2. Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed, $9.09 - This is one of the best books I've ever read. Every time I am feeling anxious or overwhelmed, I pull it up on my kindle and read. Cheryl is so wise, and her words always resonate with me.
3. Essential oil diffuser, $36.99 - Here's a way to help bring calm into someone's life. Pair the gift with a relaxing essential oil like lavender and boom, you're done.
4. Gratitude journal, $6.49 - The perfect way to help her manifest gratitude, reflect and become a bit more mindful.
5. Wine wipes, $8.90 - Does your BFF drink red? Then you'll want to send her a pack of these wine wipes. With one swipe, she'll be able to take off the red wine stain from her teeth!
6. Dead sea mud mask, $13.25 - A nice complement to a good bubble bath at the end of a long day.
7. Silk pillowcase for hair and skin, $22.90 - I've wanted these silk pillowcases forever! They're supposed to be excellent for your hair (a blowout lasts much longer, apparently), and they're supposed to be great for your skin as well!
8. LuMee illuminated cell phone case for perfect selfies, $36.97 - This cell phone case illuminates to create perfect lighting when you're taking selfies. A little help in the selfie department? Sign me up!
9. Concrete and gold planters, set of three for $28.98 - These gorgeous planters would look beautiful indoors or out, and if she chooses the former, the succulents will help purify the air!
10. She believed she could so she did mug, $13.40 - A little dose of inspiration for her morning cuppa.
