Holiday Gift Guide 2012: Your BFF

As we are nearing December 25th, picking up a last minute gift for your best gal pal does not have to be as stressful as it sounds. There is still plenty of time to run down the street (or even across town) to pick up one of these gifts from a Philly retailer. No time? Don’t you worry, I’ve got online options too! Let’s see…

1-7 girl

1. A Taste of Childhood: What better way to spend some time with your BFFs than a little pottery painting at this fabulous all-inclusive BYOB studio? The Expressive Hand gift card, available at The Expressive Hand (622 South 9th St.)

2. A Cute Calendar: My apartment is covered with Kurt Halsey prints. Your friend will love his adorable and heartwarming doodles. Kurt Halsey “2013 Wall Calendar,” $24, available at Art Star Gallery & Boutique (623 North 2nd St.)

3. Trendy Sports Gear: For the girl who rocks her Phillies ensembles outside of South Philly. Gray Eco Fleece Pocket Sweatshirt, $39.99, available at Broad Street Broad (737 North 4th St.)

4. Reppin Your Hood: These t’s are amazingly cute. They come in essentially every Philly neighborhood too! Women’s Rittenhouse Square Easy-Fit, $24, available at RittenhouseTees

5. A Cute Case: Society6 is an AMAZING site that puts art prints on tons of different items. This case is simple but unique for all of the iPhone users out there. Philadelphia City Skyline iPhone Case, $35, available at Architette Studios, via Society6

6. Simple Studs: These LOVE Park inspired post earrings will match anything and aren’t too gaudy for even your most laidback of buds. LOVE post earrings, $45, available at BathtubJungle, via Etsy

7. A Glitzy Hairpiece: I have been wearing the same Anthro headband for 5+ years, and every time I wear it, I get compliments. It’s worth the price tag. Amaranthine Headband, $32, available at Anthropologie (1801 Walnut St.)

What was the best gift you’ve given or received from your BFF?

I’m so excited we are in holiday party season! 🎄 It’s time for me to pull out all of the “what will I possibly wear this to” items in my closet. 😉 ⁣
⁣
This was my ensemble for my company’s Christmas party on Thursday (the night my purse was snatched - and later returned!! 🙏🏻). I just got the skirt on sale at @anthro_philadelphia but it looks like it’s sold out! 😣⁣
⁣
Are you mainly a holiday party hoster or an attendee? 🥂⁣

Instagram post 2191189867026612308_267536651 Stopped by the perfect after work drinks & apps spot in the city tonight! ⬇️⁣
⁣
(Some may call this “happy hour,” however, I don’t make it back from work in time for too many happy hours! 😔) ⁣
⁣
I had such a nice night catching up with @brittanymovesphilly & @brittmovesphilly at @grancaffelaquila this evening! ⁣
⁣
We got drinks (I loved my Milano Sour) and a cheese/charcuterie board (including my fav, @parmaham_usa 😍). Our waiter even sent out some cute little gelato & sorbet samples! ⁣
⁣
Definitely a good spot to check out if you’re in the Walnut/Chestnut Rittenhouse area doing some holiday shopping this month! ⁣
