The time has finally arrived, you guys! The last installment of this year's Mostly Lisa Gift Guide series is here and I am beyond amazed at how quickly this week has flown by. I feel like this happens every year, and when this last day hits - everything goes full speed. I am so excited that I decided to do this again this year and I did not let any hesitation get in the way of creating content that I enjoy. All of this being said, I wanted to continue in the tradition of last year's final gift guide and focus on items that can easily fit into your stockings. You can easily check off everyone on your list with these ideas, they're that amazing. The best part of all of these? You will not have to feel rushed purchasing any of these or feel the hassle of going to a shopping mall, they are perfectly accessible by purchasing online! 



Once you have perused all the stocking stuffer ideas above, it's time to get ready to enter the fifth annual Mostly Lisa Gift Guide Giveaway! Can you believe it has been five years?! I have to say.. this giveaway even tops last year (which my absolutely favorite) and I think everyone is really going to love the brands that are included. I want to give a HUGE shout out to each brand that is participating this year, there are even more than last year, and make sure to check them out after you have entered. You will also find a few small gifts from me that are again, quintessentially #mostlylisaholiday! Read on for an in-depth description of all the gifts included in the giveaway, the rules and then make sure to enter through the Rafflecopter portal and tell all your friends + family to enter as well. Good luck to all of you, and thank you so much for participating! xoxo

I have to be honest with everyone... beauty and skincare has officially taken over my life. Whether it's foundation, primer, eyeshadow or even fragrance - I am a woman obsessed! Instead of clothes now, finding the best products for my skin have become a necessity when I go shopping. It's becoming a problem, but who wants it to stop? Not me! With so many lovely beauty brands out there, it's like Christmas morning when I stumble upon a new one I've never heard of before. It is my goal to incorporate all cruelty-free brands into my daily routine and I highly suggest that everyone does the same! 

From luxury to affordable, the products I found were for someone who is just starting out in makeup (the Love Contours All Palette from NYX Cosmetics + The Power Pair from Sigma Beauty) to the pros (the Blurring Primer from Becca Cosmetics + the Setting Powder from Cover FX.) I may be a little biased when it comes to some of these gift options, however, I put ideas that I think are really amazing and worth checking out. The best part of all of this? I really trust all of these brands and the products they make. Shop all the ideas below and let me know which products you use on a daily basis!

There are two kids in my life that mean the utmost to me - my nephews. For that reason, this gift guide always has a special importance to it as the gift ideas I put together can make or break it for their holiday season. Let me tell you, all a kid cares about ripping open on Christmas morning is something visual, mind-bending or where they can build it themselves..Clothes? HA! You'll end up filming your kid saying something similar to this, trust me. You want to give them something that will hold their interest for more than just a second, so pay attention to their wishlist they make to give to Santa.

Like finding a gift for the guys, you will want to make this gift unique. I find that when my nephews start liking something, they go all in and it is all they can talk about. So go with that! Both of my nephews enjoy Minecraft, so I am grabbing on and not letting go when it comes to my buying decisions for them. Whether the kids you are buying for are 18 months, 5 or 10, this guide will get you in the right mindset when it comes to focusing on what you are going to get them.

2. ThinkGeek- Minecraft Color Changing Potion Bottle
3. OwlCrate Jr. Subscription Box

Each year is the same old loaded question..'What the heck do men want for Christmas?' & 'Do they even know what a wishlist is?' And every year, I somehow manage to answer those questions and put together a Gift Guide by the scrape of my teeth. Whether it is a pair of socks, a shaving kit or something reliable, I usually have the same old, same old when it comes to ideas for those good 'ol dudes. However, for the FIRST time in the five years I have been doing this, I can successfully say I did not have to pull any teeth out to find gifts to love for him! That deserves a high five, right?! 

For this year, I was thinking more unique ideas that you would not normally get him every year. Go ahead and spoil him. He may say he already has everything, but I can bet you he wouldn't expect a bike for Christmas! What about a monthly subscription to a curated book club (make sure to click the link and sign up with my referral link!) or suede Doc Martens? Yeah, I didn't think so.... Shop all the ideas below!

The festivities have begun! The fifth annual Mostly Lisa Gift Guide series is underway and I am so excited to be coming back this year, especially because I was unsure if I would have any motivation to do a week long series again. My life now consists of going to work, doing a tiny of exercise, eating and then going to bed. It's crazy how much the last few months have turned everything around and life is solely focused on work. In the end, I realized I had to put in the time and effort to do this, it is the best series I do on this blog and I love spreading some happiness during what can be a difficult time of year for some people. So know this: I am doing this out of the love in my heart for each and every one of you that reads this blog and shares it with their friends. I am beyond grateful that I can actually do this every year, and to have the support of the people around me and people with whom I have never met before! That's what this season is all about, right?!

In the tradition of this Gift Guide series, on the first day I give to you a guide for the easiest person to shop for during this holiday season - women. I mean, why is it SO easy? I mean, I could probably go to each shopping website and find something to put on this list. Let's be honest, it is more than likely because I'm secretly also shopping for myself, however, I am trying to think outside of the box of my personal tastes and provide you all with a wide variety of gifts that the ladies in your life would enjoy. Whether she enjoys artwork, beauty, fashion, jewelry - this guide is just the ticket. See you tomorrow for the hardest person to shop for - men.
