It's been so long, wow! When I first started the Mostly Lisa Holiday Gift Guide series, it was one of the best ideas I had come up with for this blog. It drove me to use my creativity, it urged me to regularly post because I was so proud of what I had made. Now? Now it's mostly inner feelings of everything I've made doesn't even matter in the long run,  that it wouldn't get the attention I thought it deserved no matter how hard I've tried. It takes a lot of work, I'm talking hours and days for me to create all of this on my own. I know, I know, I decided to do this for my blog and that is a task I put upon myself, but still. Endless hours of searching and editing to make something that was a lot of fun in the beginning but has now turned into an ego game. That's not what I'm about, so I had to stop and I'm really glad I did.

The time passed has helped and it's brought a new perspective for me to look at. I'm going to approach this series not so seriously and just do it for fun again. If it gains nothing, if no one sees it - I'll be okay with that because I know that I put my heart into it. Maybe I'll be able to work with some small, local brands and have the ability to give something away because that's what the holidays are all about. So I've decided to try again, and here I am. ❤✨🎄

Let's start with the ladies!

Christmas Time In The City Dessert Plate | Capri Blue Ombre Faceted Glass Jar Candle | Eco dreamiest long-sleeve pajama set in constellation print | Celestial-embroidered velvet Mary Jane flats | Holiday Jigsaw Puzzle | Original Pink HoodieSatin Heatless Curling Set - Sunset Tie DyeGALAXY NECKLACEHatch Restore Personalized Sleep SolutionNew York Eau de Parfum SprayKraken Kitty Edition Black Chroma Wired Gaming HeadsetThe Muppet Christmas Carol - Vinyl Soundtrack | Maroon Patch BeanieSpirited Away LipstickHot Cocoa KitObstinate Headstrong Girl MugNorthwoods CandleGrecian Bust Table Lamp 

I just stopped to take a look at this list and if this isn't exactly what I want underneath my Christmas tree this year, I don't know what is. There are so many choices this year in terms of how to spoil the enigma that is - her. Whether she's a person who enjoys gaming (gaming headphones, a statement mug) dressing like a J.Crew catalog model (flats, celestial pjs), or being a cozy homebody (sweatshirt, candles) - you'll be able to find something she'll love. Let me know in the comments below what you're getting, or want this year!

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.

Hear ye, hear ye! The third annual Mostly Lisa Gift Guide series is here for your enjoyment, and is chock full of gift ideas for that special gal in your life. She is so important that you're willing to go above and beyond to make her holidays extra magical, and whether she is 15 or 50, she will be sure to enjoy any one of these unique ideas. If your lady likes to be super romantic, a little quirky or into the basics, I've got you covered! Out of all of these items, my favorite has to be the Pizza Bralette from Bones Lingerie. It speaks to me on all kinds of levels, and even comes as a set with high-waisted underwear. What makes it even better? April, the owner, makes these custom lingerie sets by herself in Los Angeles. If you have a favorite fabric or need a change, she'll do it for you no questions asked! Shop all the links above, and let me know what you would choose for the lady in your life!
I am VERY excited for you all to be here, and hope you enjoy this year's Gift Guide series. There will be a total of seven of these, and on the last one I will be hosting a giveaway! It will be the biggest giveaway I've ever done, with a total of 5 gifts for one person. Make sure to tell your friends, family, coworkers and anyone who would be interested.

Another year, another Valentine's Day. It's also another year where I'll be my own special someone, and I'm actually okay with it. Who doesn't want to spoil themselves and feel empowered to love themselves on such a sappy day? My second-annual Valentine's Day Gift Guide series is starting off with that special person in your life, yourself... or if you do have a significant other in your life, this one is also for you! These items above are all things that I would not mind receiving next week, so here's a huge hint to all of you in my life. I've already gifted myself the bath bubbler, but I'm down for anything else.

My last gift guide for this holiday season has to be my favorite one! This one is dedicated to that special girlfriend in your life that holds the title of BFF... Now I believe you can have more than one best friend for life, I myself have a couple, and so there are obviously going to be different tastes and likes that these ladies have. I've rounded up some of the best gifts that you could present to your bestie, and I'm not going to lie I wouldn't mind having some of these under my tree. *HINT, HINT BESTIES!* If you've been following me on Instagram, you might know that I'm now officially obsessed with my local Lush Cosmetics! I've now taken two bath bombs and have -sighed contentedly- both times, so these two options I've picked out are definitely something special to treat her when she needs to take a break. Everything else is just magic in this list, and I also think are great presents to exchange with one another. It's just saying to your BFF, 'I love you, and I get you.' Shop all the links below, and thank you so much for following along while I've put together these gift guides. It's been a blast, and here's to next year being even better! I'd say, you're all my BFFS.  xoxoxo

It's pretty crazy that we're already quickly approaching February 14th! I decided it'd be fun to do what I did for Christmas and create another Gift Guide series that will hopefully help any readers that are in a slump on what to get for their significant other, family member, or a best friend. This first installment is all about the ladies, because it has to be right?! I am not just talking about flowers and chocolate this time, because for Valentine's Day you can really go all out on one item and it will mean a lot. I enjoy a grown-up Valentine's Day much more than when I was kid because I can spoil myself on this day, I am single, and not be ashamed of it. I've created a list of some lovely items that are for your girlfriend, sister, mother, or anyone else in your life! Enjoy! I already know I want that bottle of champagne and the cupcake.....
 
Fill With Me Love Jar Card ($4) : Might as well start off easy with this super adorable themed card that can be for anyone. Paper Source is a great destination to stop by and find other great cards for any holiday.
 
butter LONDON Blood Red Nail Polish ($15) : Blood red nail polish? Sign me up! Especially if you have other friends who are single, you can have a mani/pedi night that will be full of gossip.

 Eberjey Fiona Bralet ($58) | Eberjey Fiona Lace Thong ($35) : This deliciously sexy lace combo is something I have my eye on. It's a gorgeous color and is a perfect amount of coverage.

 Crumbs Cupcakes ($10-$40) : Gimme the cupcakes! All of them! If you've never heard of Crumbs, they're based in New York and are massive cupcakes filled with decadence. One cupcake is enough, but if you're daring you can order a duo pack and have it sent to your house all around the country.

Diamond Heart Stack Ring ($390) : I found this super cute stack ring through an e-mail I got from Refinery29 and had to include it in my guide. It's not too overwhelming and has the right amount of sparkle in its heart-shaped pendant.

Bow Pump ($195) : I have seen this pump all around Pinterest and had to check out where it was from. While it's insanely out of my price range, I think it's a lovely investment piece for any woman's wardrobe. It comes in several different colors, but this red is to die for.

Tocca Cleopatra Candle ($20) : Ms. Nicollete Mason included this candle in her article for Marie Claire's February issue, so I obviously had to do the same. I've heard this scent is soft and very feminine, which is a must have for your bedroom.

Pride and Prejudice ($8) : Mr. Darcy + English countryside + British accents = BEAUTIFUL way to celebrate Valentine's Day. Makes me wish I lived in the Regency era...

Williams-Sonoma Home Baked Comfort Cookbook ($35) : This cookbook is filled with amazing comfort food that would make a tasty gift for your BFFs! Or you could even keep it for yourself and cook up some yummy treats to share with them.

Miller and Jeeves Mini Suede Clutch ($75) : This is simply on here because it's a perfect go-to for the holiday, and it's not too overwhelming. Raspberry is the color name and it's definitely sweet.

Wake Me For Coffee Sleepmask ($26) : I don't really wear sleepmasks, but I would consider changing my opinion and wearing this one. The statement could not be more true to my life.

Kate Spade Chandelier Earrings ($98) : Earrings are always a good decision for the lady in your life. These ones by Kate Spade are sure to go great with any outfit she wears on the day or afterwards.

J.Crew Crystal Nouveau Necklace  ($128) : When you see this necklace in real life, your jaw will drop. It's an absolute stunner and is quintessentially J.Crew.

Skinnygirl Prosecco ($30) : This champagne is fruity and tart. That's all I can say with hearts in my eyes.

Always,
Mostly Lisa
