Holiday Gift Guide #1: The Golden Girls Gifts To Thank Them For Being a Friend

Golden GirlsWelcome to the first installment of this year’s holiday splendor!! I wanted to start out with some picks that could work for a whole bunch of people in your life — moms, sisters, aunts, best friends, your pop culture twin! Yes, it’s time to round up all the The Golden Girls gift ideas!

You could be thinking right now, “Why doesn’t she just do a general pop culture gift guide?” I could (and I have in the past!), but The Golden Girls have such a special place in my heart. It’s one of the shows my mom and I love watching together, so I thought maybe one of these gift ideas will be perfect if you have your own Sophia to your Dorothy — or, of course, your own Blanche to your Rose. There are lots of possibilities in these 10 favorite picks, starting off with these cool enamel pins ($19.99)…

Golden GirlsThis Shady Pines key chain since their favorite part of the show was all of Sophia’s stories, $8

Golden GirlsTrivial Pursuit so you can prove, once and for all, who is the biggest fan, $23.98

Golden GirlsA chic pencil set to brighten their desk and make them smile when working, $10

Golden GirlsSome quotable coasters for fun nights in, $22

Golden GirlsThis tote bag for wild adventures around the city, $12.95

Golden GirlsA wise mug to remind them of the important things in life, $12.99

Golden GirlsAn iPhone case so they can proudly display their fan status, $12.99

Golden GirlsThis comfy cozy throw blanket to curl up on the couch and watch the four friends, $39.95

Golden GirlsAnd this t-shirt to truly thank them for being a friend, $27.99

Golden GirlsJust for funsies (yes, I did just use that word!), here’s a great Golden Girls GIF to go with these swell The Golden Girls gifts! Gifts and a GIF — what more could you ask for? Stay tuned for tomorrow’s (spicy!) treasures. That “spicy” was a hint in case you were wondering! xoxo

The 2018 Holiday Gift Guide Is Coming!

Holiday Gift Guide Holiday Gift GuideGuess what?? Now that it’s officially December, you know what that means, don’t you, friends? We can get the 2018 Holiday Gift Guide going on the blog!!! This week, to be precise!

I know, I know. Some bloggers already started their gift guides back in November, but I’ve never claimed to be that aspirational — I mean, I just got around to going through photos on my phone’s camera roll from the beginning of 2017. And I haven’t even started making lists of presents I need to get for my mom and Janelle. I may be authentic, but not anywhere close to aspirational.

Anyway, back to the Holiday Gift Guide, which I’ve been doing since 2011, and have really enjoyed rounding up all the cute (and affordable!) treasures out there! I’m particularly excited this year because I’ve been brainstorming some fun categories. I want to think outside the (gift) box — pun intended! — and put a new spin on some of the classic categories. In other words, I’ll be getting uber specific and niche. Instead of “pop culture,” think an entire gift guide dedicated to The Golden Girls. Instead of “fashion,” think a round-up of spicy Taco Bell apparel — yes, that type of apparel actually exists!

With a year that’s been quite dark and gloomy at times, we could use some holiday cheer RIGHT NOW, so I’m pretty pumped about sharing some of my favorite picks! Look for the first installment tomorrow afternoon!

Holiday Gift GuideWhat categories would you like to see this year? Have you started your holiday shopping yet or are you waiting until the last minute like I am? If you answered “wait until the last minute,” don’t worry because you’re obviously not alone. I invite you to join me in the I’m Not Aspirational Club! It’s pretty laid-back and chill over here!! xoxo
