Gift Guide: Experience Gift Ideas

Today is the 12th and final day of Blogmas! If you’ve been reading for the past 12 days, thank you — it was a blast putting these holiday posts together. 

I’ve put plenty of gift guides together this season, however, what do you gift the person who has everything? We all have that person in our lives. And for my friends and family, that person is me. (P.S., sorry for that!)

If you know someone who doesn’t care for material things, who has too many material things, or if you want to snag a meaningful last-minute gift, the gift of an experience might be a great option. Today, I’m sharing some of my favorite experience gift ideas that are great for any budget. P.S., Santa, if you’re reading this, I’m a size window seat in plane tickets. Just sayin’.

The Best New Years Eve Dresses

Keepsake Farewell Midi Dress

Shop the Dress | Shoes

We’re almost done with Blogmas, everyone! For 12 days straight, I’m posting new holiday content to get you in the mood for the season. I can safely say that I do not plan on doing this again next year (gotta be honest!), but it was a fun experiment to try!

Speaking of 2020: remember when I went over those reader survey results with you all a few months ago? I got a lot of fantastic feedback and made a few changes, but I’m planning on tweaking some of those changes. A lot of folks called for less travel and blogging posts, which I get, but those happened to be my highest-traffic posts, so I think it’s time to ramp those up again. As always, I try to have a good mix of content here, so just in case I blog about something you might not be interested in, don’t fret: a new topic will be covered in a couple of days!

Anyway, let’s get to today’s post: it’s officially sparkle season, and I’m rounding up some of my favorite, glitzy dresses (and other pieces!) that are perfect for New Year’s Eve or any other holiday parties that you might have coming up. If you want to rent your NYE dress this year rather than buy, I rounded up my favorite Rent the Runway holiday picks last month!
