Holiday Gift Guide: 30 Under $30

The holidays are seriously just around the corner! Whether I'm searching for holiday gifts or building my own wish list, I love online shopping. No crazy lines, no crazy crowds. What's not to love? And so this year I thought it would be fun to share a little series of Gift Guides I put together that are sure to make your shopping a little easier.

This shopping guide is dedicated to those special girls in your life: your besties, your sisters, your bridesmaids... I've named it 30 under 30, but there is pretty things for all ages. I mean, I love every item and there has a been a couple of years since 3 is the first digit on my age.

I really like getting my friends something sparkly for the season. Like a lovely necklace or some pretty gloves. That girl who has been in your life during good times and bad times deserves something thoughtful that you know she will love.

Another gift idea that I love is to put together an assortment of small, inexpensive gifts, such as a cute mug, a nail polish or even a fun umbrella. I happen to think that this is way more fun than opening one big gift! On the hunt for the cutest gifts for your besties? Or perhaps you're building your own wishlist? Whatever the case may be, there's no shortage of gorgeous gift ideas here, my friends!

Here's my 30 Under $30! There really are so many darling items to choose from this holiday season. And lucky for us there's also some awesome deals to be had right now too!

From the Photographer: "Isabelle & Samuel are both dentists, She also started her own clinic not so long before their wedding. They decided to get married on the North shore of Montreal, in a little village called Ste-Marthe-sur-le-lac. The reception took place at L'Esterel, an important hotel in the area. Everything was well planned & executed. The two lovers were so beautiful to see together! We hope they continue to travel like they always did before!"
