I can’t believe I’m already posting the final gift guide for this season! Today’s guide doesn’t have a theme- I just wanted to round up a few more gifts under $75 for women and men. Maybe I should have renamed this one the J. Crew/J. Crew Factory guide because a lot of these items come from there. If you’re looking for a one-stop shop, I’d recommended either store/site because they have lots of great gift ideas (and good sales too). I hope you enjoyed this year’s gift guides! I’ve bought about half of my gifts so far and I plan to do the rest of my shopping once I get settled at home in CA.
Tell me: How’s your holiday shopping going?

![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

That starlight bracelet is so pretty and I love that little heart pouch. <3
I know my sister would love the heart pouch! She likes anything with hearts on it :)
Great picks! I always ask for a new phone case and pouches for makeup and toiletries! These are adorable!
Thanks so much Natalie! I realized I need a new makeup bag myself when I was flying home this week. I didn’t have anything large enough so I just tossed all my makeup in a ziploc bag (temporary solution)!
crazy! I can’t believe how time flew by! Love this list btw. I always find gifting for him the most challenging!

I know, me neither! It’s all going by so quickly. Me too- the people I have left on my list are all the guys!
If I had an iPhone that floral case would definitely be my case! Love it!

Sincerely, Sara
I just bought that case for myself on Black Friday and it is just as pretty in person- I love it! :)
I’m in good shape, just a couple more gifts to go! If the starlight bracelet were still in stock it would probably go on my own wishlist!
Chic on the Cheap
Aw man, it sold out? Perhaps the bracelet is still available in stores!
