I am thrilled to have Lilly’s Holiday Gift Guide again this year. Every year I tentatively ask her (and pay her) to put real thought into these ideas for us. All 24 of these ideas are straight from her, and there are so many great ideas here. I hope this helps you knock out some important shopping!

Free People Shorts – I think all the girls already have a pair of these and they want MORE. So many fun colors, too.

Coco & Eve Hair Mask – I actually gave this to Lilly months ago, and am so pleased to see that she loves it so much that she included!

FP Ruched Long Sleeve – Lilly has this top in a lilac shade and every time she wears it (which is often) I think to myself – gosh she looks so cute. These are fabulous.

Jelly Cat Bunny – I kind of love that Jelly Cats are like the eternally loved stuffy. They’re so soft and I agree this bunny is adorable.

ZigZag Headbands – Another teen fave, an easy way for them to switch up their hair or just helpful tool when washing their face.

Alo Pink Leggings – This is the prettiest rose shade, noticing that Alo is really popular with the teens.

Retro Sunglasses – So cute and under $20. Actually right now they’re marked down 30%.

Rhode Pocket Blush – This would be a great stocking stuffer!

Roller Rabbit Xmas PJs – Holiday snow village print. These might be good to give early if you do early Christmas gifts.

Dibs Blush & Bronzer Stick – Two in one, I really like this brand a lot (and use their lip plumping melt in guaza glaze all the time).

Parke Sweatshirt – Told you guys this would be on the list. It’s basically the number one. They like them oversized, Lilly has these in large/XL.

Stoney Clover Tote – Cute! Definitely add patches and monogram! I really like their weekender bags, too.

Roller Rabbit Long PJs – Oh hey, I’d wear these too. I love the color.

Waterproof Digital Camera – Lil has this! She loves to take it to Harbour Island or she uses it when her friends are over and they want “nice” photos.

Gingham Dress – Nice to have cute things to wear when the occassion arrises. This is under $100.

Owala Water Bottle – A great practical gift! I myself and partial to the Quencher Flip Straw, but to each their own.

Alo Quarter Zip – Listen, quarter zips for everyone. IYKYK.

Hart Gold Necklace Cord – I think Lilly really held back on the Hart ideas because there are only two on this list but I know she loves it all. She has this one.

Casetify Phone Case – Magsafe and super durable. I know this b/c Josh has one, which makes me laugh b/c to me this is kind of a more girly brand, but maybe not.

Hart Oui Charm Necklace – Ah I love this one, a reminder to “say yes to life!”. I love that all of Hart’s charms have a special meaning.

Daily Drills Crew – If this brand isn’t on your radar yet I think it will be.

Alo Sweatpants – Another great practical idea, these are fun, too.

Dai Fairy Duster Dry Shampoo – Perfect little stocking stuffer.

Free People Fleece Jacket – A jacket she’s willing to voluntarily wear? Done.

Good morning, I have a reader request post for you today! I got a DM asking if Lilly could put together a list of of her Spring Break picks, and she was happy to do it for us! She’s job shadowing me for school today, probably so she could sleep in and hang out with her friends for part of the day, but she pulled together all of these spring break/summer finds for us! Many of these are her own tried and trues and then a few things are from her wishlist!

floral midi dress, 3 in 1 blow out dryer brush, shell bikini top, black ruffle top,

raffia clutch, pink floral mini, Hydrinity spray, Saie illuminator,

portable 3 in 1 charger, cream shoulder tie mini dress,

triangle bikini top, Supergoop sunscreen, Better Than The Movies book, Rainbow sandals,

Salt & Stone deodorant, Tower 28 lip gloss, creamy ruffle top, green mini dress

Lilly got this 3 in 1 blowout dryer brush for Christmas and she uses it all the time – it’s pretty legit and a great price point! There are a few things here that Lil loves just as much as me, this deodorant, this hydrinity spray, and this portable charger. Clothing wise – how adorable are these ruffle tops?! Love the raffia clutch, too! And she just might need this dress for Harbour Island!

Story time – About a month or so ago Lil asked for Rainbow sandals. It immediately brought me back to being 21 years old, the summer I interned on Fripp Island in South Carolina. This was the pivotal summer that really changed the trajectory of my whole life and how I ended up in Charleston, and not in a Northern city, BUT back to the sandals. Everyone down here had these cool Rainbow flip flops that summer and I was obsessed and obviously needed a pair. And that first pair (of many) was just a super memorable purchase for me. Seeing them on my 15 year old daughter just really feels full circle to me. Lil is going to hate that I’m sharing this story and these emotions in this post, sorry Lil, but it makes me feel happy.

Oh one last thing – I also read Better Than The Movies – so happy to see that make it on her list.

This year’s LLL Holiday Gift Guides have officially arrived and we’re kicking them off with a special request! Lilly has curated this gift list for the teens on your list!

Waterprood Wifi Camera, FP Fitted Tee, RB Cream Blush, Watercolor Paint Set,

FP Henley Sweatshirt, Longchamp Pliage Tote, Hydro Flask Bottle, Skims Fleece Hoodie,

Skims Fleece Pants, Tower 28 Lip Gloss, Quilted Duffle Bag, FP Tank, Quai Body Mist,

Saie Glow Illuminator, FP Star Top, Laneige Lip Set, Refy Mascara,

RR Pink Pajamas, Jellycat Bunny, Ugg Slipper, Star Pillow, RR Sloth Pajamas

All of these items were sourced and chosen by Lilly, and the words are mine :) I will tell you that RR pajamas are one of her very favorite things. As are Jellycat stuffed animals and Laneige lip masks. For Lilly’s birthday yesterday she got her first Longchamp (the pouch size) and now the larger tote is on her Christmas list! These quilted duffle bags are all the rage right now, too. About a month ago Lilly used her babysitting money to buy this waterproof Wifi camera. While I don’t understand why teens want these digital cameras when they have phones, they really do!

A couple of things Lilly didn’t include (we only had so much room in the collage) that I happen to know she loves are these weighted stuffed animals (fletch has one too). These satin pillowcases (again Fletch has one too). And this lighted makeup mirror!

Lilly and I went to the Hart Hagerty Tea at Charleston Place a couple of weekends ago and it was such a special treat. Lilly has been wanting a Hart charm necklace and I decided it would be fun to make a day of it and spoil her a little bit. Hart’s charm collection is ADDICTING to look through. It was so fun to help Lilly choose the charms that meant the most to her.

Every charm has a special meaning and Lilly really went with a love and positivity vibe for her talisman. She chose the Heart of Gold charm, the Amor love and fear coin, an evil eye charm, the Let Go charm, and the Loves Me Flower.

Hart’s site has a really fun interactive custom charm builder that you can play around with! You can choose different chains, swap different charms in and out, and move them around. And you can see all of the different charms and their meanings here!

The most requested Holiday Gift Guide this year – one for the tween and teen girls! I’m very proud of this one! It’s a winner. Full of Lilly’s most favorite things like Roller Rabbit polo pjs, Laneige lip treatments, and Lululemon tops!

Dyson hair dryer, Roller Rabbit pouch, Weezie wrap robe, Bauble Stocking, BFF necklace,

AirPods, Roller Rabbit pjs, Laneige lip set, Birkenstock clogs, Sol De Janeiro set, Glossier set,

Tarot cards, Gucci bag, Lululemon top, Roller Rabbit blanket, Luluelemon shorts,

Glossier sweatshirt, Casetify case, Stanley cup, Away suitcase, Roller Rabbit slippers, Roller Rabbit pjs

First off Bauble Stockings are THE best. Last year I put Lilly’s Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets in there. Dyson’s new special edition hair dryer color is SO fun. A monogrammed carry on Away suitcase? YES! A monogrammed bath wrap? YES!! And for the fashion lover maybe it’s the year of her first Gucci???

Oh and in case you didn’t know, one Stanley cup isn’t enough Stanley cups. Same goes for the Glossier sweatshirts, IYKYK.
