Handmade Ceramic Mug

Is there anything better than pulling out your favorite mug and taking that first sip of delicious coffee (or tea) in the morning? We think not. That's why this adorable handmade ceramic mug with rainbow-colored hearts is a perfect gift for the girlfriend in your life. They'll surely think of you when in these moments of caffeinated bliss and that's most definitely a win in the gift-giving department. 

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag Large 2L

Belt bags are the cool aunt version of the fanny pack so it's no wonder they're all the rage now. The Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag is a popular choice and we're partial to this large version which holds all the essentials (keys, phone, wallet) plus has room for a bit more. It comes in six colors, and is a great option for someone who doesn't want to lug around a big handbag. It's especially handy for running errands or going to the gym. 

Anthropologie Flower Pot Bread Making Kit

This adorable kit has almost everything your significant other or BFF needs to create this fun flower pot (or shall we say "flour pot") bread, which is a lovely combination of delicious and adorable. The set includes reusable four terracotta baking cups and the dry ingredients needed to make the bread and delicious lavender butter. The recipient just needs to add butter. This would be a fun gift to make together, too.

Glow Recipe Fruit Babies Bestsellers Kit

Buying beauty products for someone else can be tricky business, but you can't go wrong with this assortment of six Glow Recipe travel-sized products. The cleanser, toner, eye cream, serum, dew drops and hydrating cream all work together to create glowing skin, whether the gift recipient uses them one at a time or all together for the ultimate spa-like facial routine. Glow Recipe's formulas are vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free, plus they smell amazing. 

Gifts under $100

Salt & Straw's The Cake

For that person who likes food more than any other gift, this is something they'll appreciate. Artisan ice cream purveyor Salt & Straw created The Cake and it nearly sounds too good to be true: It's made of rainbow cake and their signature Double Fold Vanilla ice cream, plus swirls of blackberry jam, cream cheese frosting and sprinkles. It supposedly serves at least eight very hungry people, but your girlfriend or special someone doesn't have to share! Just cross your fingers that they do. 

Sunday Citizen Snug Blanket Hoodie

Remember when wearable blankets were all the rage? Well, Sunday Citizen has taken the concept and made it ultra chic and stylish. The brand's snug blanket hoodie is sure to keep the special someone in your life warm and cozy, whether they're cuddled up on the couch or heading out for the day. The unisex one-size-fits-most hooded pullover comes in a couple neutral colors and will undoubtedly be a winning gift. 

Lula's Garden Verdant Garden

Looking for a present for a girlfriend (or special someone) with a green thumb? Look no further than Lula's Garden succulent gifts. They are aesthetically pleasing and easy to care for since they arrive already planted in a sophisticated gift box. Plus, the recipient will undoubtedly think of you as the trio of plants grows -- hopefully for years to come! 

Jet Set Candy Charms

Jet Set Candy charms are a great way to pay homage to a place that's meaningful to your girlfriend or special someone. Perhaps you vacationed together in Italy or have always dreamed of frolicking together on the beaches of Bali -- in any case, a Jet Set Candy charm is a tangible way to celebrate your meaningful place. Charms come in sterling silver, gold vermeil or solid gold. 

West & Willow Custom Pet Portrait

Are you constantly competing with your special someone's pet for attention? Then you can't go wrong with a custom portrait of their animal BFF from West & Willow. All you need to do is upload a photo of the pet (focusing on the face and neck), add a name and pick a background color. Then the brand's talented digital artists will take it from there and recreate the photo to feature all of Sparky's amazing features. The recipient will cherish it forever and you'll earn some brownie points too.  

Business & Pleasure Co. Premium Cooler

Coolers have gotten a lot… cooler, thanks to Business & Pleasure Co.'s aesthetically pleasing designs that are also great at keeping food and drinks cold. The cooler would be perfect for BBQs, pool days, camping trips, kids' sporting events -- you name it. This size holds 14 liters, which is probably big enough to hold food and drinks for up to four people. What really matters is that your girlfriend or special someone arrives in places with the most stylish cooler out there.

Bala Bangle One Pound Weights

If your friend or S.O. is the kind of person who loves fashion and fitness, they'll love the Bala bangle weights. The one-pound weights can be worn on ankles or wrists for that added boost during a workout -- or while going about daily life. They are stylish and comfortable enough to be worn outside of the gym too. The set of two bangles comes in four chic color options and includes a color-matching carrying case.     

Oak and Luna Inez Initial Bracelet/Anklet

This delicate, sophisticated bracelet (or anklet) is the perfect modern take on a friendship bracelet. The Oak and Luna piece would be great for a group of BFFs to customize together with your own initials or works well as a romantic gift too if you include the initials of both partners. Either way, you can't go wrong with timeless jewelry that is also sentimental and affordable. The sterling silver option is $80, the 18k gold plated is $90 and the 18k gold vermeil and rose gold vermeil are both $120.  

Gifts under $200

Calpak Luka Duffle Bag

Girlfriends on the go will love this Calpak duffle bag equipped with a whopping nine pockets (including one for shoes). Whether they're packing for a workout, a work trip or an epic vacation, the water-resistant bag is bound to come in handy time and time again. We also love that it comes in over a dozen colors so you can pick one that speaks to your BFF or significant other's personal style. 

Ugg Classic Ultra Mini Bootie

Looking to splurge a bit? Consider these Ugg shearling booties that are ultra comfortable, cute and bound to be your girlfriend's go-to shoe through the winter and beyond. They're also easy to get on and off, which isn't always how it goes with booties. They come in three colors and you can't go wrong with any of them. 

Outin Nano Portable Espresso Machine

If the special someone in your life is a coffee fiend, they may be looking for ways to avoid spending $5 a pop when they want a caffeinated beverage away from home. Enter the Outin Nano espresso machine. This handy gadget can be taken on the road and produces espresso in under 5 minutes -- just let it heat up and add the water and coffee grounds (loose or a capsule). It even produces cold brew too. 

The portable espresso machine would be ideal to bring on a trip (like to an Airbnb or hotel room) if the recipient prefers milk-based beverages, but there's no reason they couldn't tote it around town as well for a quick shot of espresso here and there. 

Lunya Washable Silk Tee Set

Silk pajamas always seem like a good idea until you have to hand wash them and they sit in the laundry room for an eternity. Luckily, Lunya's luxurious silk sets are made of 100% washable mulberry silk so they can be thrown in the washing machine (cold cycle). This oversized silk tee set comes in eight color options and is sure to help your special someone feel comfy and confident.
