#HIBOYS! Like I could ever forget you!

They spoil us year-round, we can't forget to splurge a little on the m-e-n in our lives from time to time, especially at Christmas! These are my faves for tha boyz.

First off, I subscribed to Dollar Shave Club for myself and it's amazing! I can't use the blades fast enough before more are coming in, which is a total switch from when I didn't want to spend the money to replace a single one. This is definitely the gift that keeps on giving. If you give it to enough friends, you will also get a discount. Win, win, win.

Obviously, we all know the wonders of the Yeti cooler, but I love this lightweight 'hopper' version which is perfect for beach days and lake nights, and will even keep your hot beverages on temp during this arctic blast. While your mind is on travel, check out the Bose Soundlink Mini. I have the gray version and we have literally taken it on every trip we've been on this year. It's compact, but you can't beat that Bose sound. Definitely worth the investment!

Will doesn't know it yet, but I definitely see us rocking matching Adidas 'superstar' sneaks in the very near future. #solemates Speaking of Will, I got him the LV cardholder for his birthday in July and he has loved it! He is not a fan of bulky wallets, and this little cutie has been the perfect solution. It's no coincidence that it is stocking-sized.

Finally, it wouldn't be a #blogger #gift #guide without something personalized, let's be honest. I love this whiskey barrel idea for a man cave! Even if it goes unused (which it won't), it makes for a great focal piece on any bar. There you have it babes, go forth and shop. The men in your life will thank you.

GIFT GUIDE FOR THE GIRLS: UNDER $100!

I always feel like I am running so late with my gift guides because of all the bloggers I follow, but there is something inside of me that will NOT let me do it before December. I just can't! I always want to make sure all my suggestions are things that I truly would want (or do want! haha) for myself, so I just take a little extra time building them for you guys. EW, I LOVE YOU OKAY!? All of these are less than $100, just in case you need to spent that extra $5.99 on express shipping.

I am dying to get my hands..well my head...on a Slip silk pillowcase like YESTERDAY. It is supposed to do wonders for your hair and for your skin and now that I am elderly, I am all about the skin. Gotta preserve this canvas, y'all.

Speaking of how I look in the mirror, I cannot get enough of my Beauty Bank you guys. Having a compact that lights up is totally life-changing. Don't forget to use code 'harrison10' for 10% off yours!

Last but not least, if you haven't tried Sephora's newest brand of leg illuminator, you are seriously missing out. You have seen this stuff all over my snapchat (@harrisonsapp4), I slathered it on my entire body in the Bahamas, but it's basically the way to get supermodel glowy legs in 3 steps without leaving your bathroom. It is named for what it does people, because you will be YELLING Hello to Sexy Legs. You can even watch their video on how to apply their products here, and who doesn't love a good tutorial!?

Happy Shopping, Gilties.

BE MINE...OR BE WINE.

Whether I am in a relationship or not, I'm a sucker for Valentine's Day. I love all the pink and red and everything is just so freaking cute! I mean, have you been in Target lately? Don't go. Just don't. I put together this little list for the lady-friend in your life...even if that is just you yourself!

I have to be honest, I have the heart sunglasses, the burgandy bodysuit, the heart doormat, AND I just snagged the gold pumps on a may-jor sale. I can highly recommend all 4. I can also highly recommend that I go to shopping-rehab, but that seems like a bad deal for all of us. #promises

GIFT GUIDE: FOR THA BOYS.

Hi babes! I totally meant to write this post last night, but instead I went out for late night pork buns and dumplings and had 11 glasses of wine. YOLO. Anyway, here I am awake, not regretting any of that at all...here is a gift guide for tha boyz.

men's gift guide

1. WHISKEY BOOK / 2. BEANIE / 3. PLAID SHIRT / 4. WATCH / 5. COLOGNE / 6. HEADPHONES / 7. SONOS SPEAKERS / 8. YETI TRAVEL CUP / 9. JACK BLACK TRAVEL KIT / 10. NIKE SNEAKERS / 11. JIMMY FALLON iPHONE CASE / 12. OVERNIGHT BAG

Man-shopping can be so daunting. They're very tricky. They don't ever really express anything that they like or want, and if they do, they probably already bought it for themselves. This is just a quick round-up of gifts that you cannot go wrong with, whether you are shopping for your brother, your dad, your gay husband or your arm-candy.

This beanie is 40% off using code: SHOPNOW!

This Jimmy Fallon iPhone case is the best unexpected stocking stuffer.

If you haven't heard of Mizzen + Main yet, they are an amazing new line of men's dress shirts made from the same materials used in workout wear, making them comfortable and dry. Use code "MAINMAN3" FOR $50 off of 3 dress shirts here!

More of my top gift picks coming in hot tonight! Almost all of these things are on my personal wishlist, aside from the ones I already have. Ahem.

This Nest candle is my go-to in holiday hostess gifting. It smells like a real Christmas tree and I have been known to burn through multiples in just one season. Makes my little apartment feel so cozy. So does the Comcast Yule Log channel, which I currently have crackling in the background.

Now, if someone could just make sure that sweater ends up under my tree alongside one (er..two?) of those initial pillows, everything will be fine. Well, now I want wine.

GIFT GUIDE FOR HER: UNDER $100.

gift guide under $100

1. R+F SUNLESS TANNER / 2. BEAUTY COUNTER CLEANSER + BEAUTY COUNTER DAY CREAM / 3. GRANDE LASH SERUM / 4. BUSINESS CARD HOLDER / 5. 'GOOD THINGS' POUCH / 6. BAG CHARM / 7. LEATHER JACKET / 8. SCARF / 9. NIKE SNEAKERS / 10. INITIAL CHARM

Let's be real, it is always a good time for a gift, but now that it is officially gift-giving season, I am putting together a few giftish guides for you to peruse. I am also poor, so here is a cheapie version to kick things off.

1. R+F SUNLESS TANNING FOAM: Ok guys, if you follow me on Snapchat (@harrisonsapp4), you saw this baby arrive. As you know, I am dead serious about self-tanning. I have tried it all, every cream, every towel, every paste (??)...I love this foam. It is light, it dries almost instantly and it gives the kind of deep color I crave year-round. PLUS, at $24, it is the perfect addition to your stocking.

2. BEAUTY COUNTER CLEANSER + DAY CREAM: If you haven't started hearing about BC yet, you definitely will be soon. The buzz behind this 'safer choice' in beauty is pretty strong and the best part is that their products are living up to the hype.

3. GRANDE LASH SERUM: A friend got me hooked on this lash serum that is far more affordable than some of the others out there. I have noticed a considerable difference in the length and fullness of my lashes, and I haven't even finished my first tube. 

4. BUSINESS CARD HOLDER: This doesn't really need an explanation, but I feel like this is such a great gift that is often overlooked. I have a little gold croc version that I love, but am planning to stock up on a few more so that I have one in every bag. As a blogger looking to grow my baby brand, it's SO important to carry my cards on me at all times!

**SIDE NOTE/EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!** 

I have partnered with my beautiful friend Callie Riggs (@callieriggs) to start curating a collection of the coolest, newest and most unique companies and products for women. Our website is #comingsoon, but for now you can follow us on Instagram @likeloveneedit! Can't wait to get this baby up and running!

P.P.S. How annoying am I today?! Make sure you check back December 5th for my MAYJ giveaway!

HIS + HERS: VDAY GIFT GUIDE.

Hello, lover. I've been in a super romantic setting…my living room, plus one plus-sized cat, watching The Bachelor...in order to be in a heart-shaped state of mind to come up with this gift guide just for you. What can I say? I am a giver. Forget "will you accept this rose," my ideal Bachelor would ask, "will you accept these clothes?" Yes, darling. The answer will always be yes. XO

GIFT GUIDE PART 3: STOCKING.

The stocking is here to prove that good things DO come in small packages. Sometimes this is the hardest part of my shopping, I swear! My dad LOVED Christmas more than anyone ever, and he absolutely passed that love down to me. Instead of just opting for filler, I make sure every stocking stuffer is well-thought out and meaningful. Have I mentioned that I am a total shopping obsessed lunatic? About 394 times? Oh, perfect. Moving on..
stocking stuffers
1. ON/OFF MUG 2. EPISLIM 3. ROLL-UP FLATS 4. MATCHES 5. RING 6. TRAVEL BAGS
7. KATE SPADE GLOVES 8. CHEERS CANDLE

14. FLASK 15. WHISKEY STONES 16. J.CREW GLOVES
As always, click each link above to shop!

See what I mean?? The stocking is SO much fun. I love mixing cheapies like that cute little sweater-clad flask from Nordstrom (literally less than $10!!) with higher end finds like those timeless Kate Spade gloves (that are also smartphone friendly!). Even Kate knows some of the hottest texting happens in colder weather, am I right? Amen. Also super important..useful hair-removing gifts like the fuss-free Epislim, as well as that old school little men's shaving brush I found at Target for just $19. Let's all vow to remain fuzz-free until warmer months. It's just nicer that way.

GIFT GUIDE PART 2: HIM.

Time to shop for him. Swoon! What is it about guy's clothing that is so adorable, even without them in it? Clearly my shopping problem doesn't just end with myself. Here are a few of my favorite ways to spoil the men in your life this Chri-muss.
gift guide part 2: him
SLIPPERS / TIE / PUFFER / SONOS / WATCH / BAR SIGN / SHAVE KIT
SCARF / UMBRELLA / COPPER MUG / PLAID SHIRT / COMPRESSION SHIRT / SOCKS

I gifted P that SONOS speaker last year and have been secretly jealous of it ever since.
This post has really made me want a moscow mule. Is it really only 11am? Gobble gobble.

Add-on Stocking Stuffers:
   stocking stuffers
KUSHYFOOT SOCKS / JAMES READ MASK / SEPHORA SPA GLOVES

These Kushyfoot socks are my favorite to layer under work clothes and jeans when I need a foundation for my boots. They stay in place and help aid in circulation, not to mention that they are lined with a super comfy padded layer for the ball of your foot. Perfect stocking for her stocking.

The James Read face mask is a new one in my house. When I read that I could tan my face while I slept, I couldn't get to Sephora fast enough. Last but not least, the Sephora Spa Glove set is the easiest way to beat winter skin from the comfort of your couch. Best when enjoyed with a glass of your favorite wine. Happy Weekend!!!
