Hello loves, I’m enjoying the moderate chilly weather on the West Coast with maple infused hot cocoa and coal leatherette shorts. You have to pretend it’s winter over here to get the holiday appeal. Christmas is coming up fast! I’ve spent the last few weeks scouring Etsy for the best things to give to my loved ones.
There is nothing like a gift that channels energy and the imagination. I look for things that exude the essence of the occult and bring a sense of forbidden desire. When I’m buying a gift for a friend, I focus on how they’ve made me feel, their energy and spirit, and then purchase a gift that I think resonates with that vibe. I want to share these gift ideas, along with a few of my favorite shops that sell them.
Holiday Gift Guide for Magical Girls
1. Original Prints
A print can bring together a whole room and define the feeling of a space. I think art is the most important thing that you can give someone.
The natural beauty of a pose with a lunar cycle in a beautiful mandala. Ayla hand draws mystic symbols and strong women, focused on the universal truths in kindness and peace.
2. Crystal Jewelry
Crystals bring forth the feeling of emotion, love and connection. I usually use a stone guide to pick a stone that channels the vibe I’m looking for. When I’ve found the type I want, I look for jewelry on etsy that uses the stone in a style I like.
Lotus Fairy has a huge selection of beautiful crystals at amazing prices. If you buy more than one, you get a deal on shipping.
3. Comfy Scarves
While the weather is cold, give your loved one something that will give them warm thoughts about you. A scarf will do this for you and more! On Etsy you can find more than just basic knitted scarves and pick one with an artistic flair.
This scarf will perfectly wrap up your young witchy friend and keep them safe in the winter. I love how it turns the wearer into an owl.
4. Nail Decals
Most of my friends paint their nails by themselves. As nail decals become more common, I find that surpising a friend with a set of nail stickers can be a huge hit. Etsy has the best selection of original nail decals; you can find any design you’re looking for. Music friend? Get them some A$AP decals. Fashion friend? Get her a set of Chanel logos for her nails. They’ll thank you!
These are some of my favorite decals. I love the iconic donut symbol and ice cream! Sweets are best on your hands not in your tummy.
5. Air Plants
The gift of life keeps on giving. I got my first air plant this year and he hangs around my apartment. Air plants are like cactuses because they don’t require much more then sunlight and the occasional spritz of water and minerals.
The geometric shapes that house air plants merge science + beauty + nature to give you a plant that will inspire your thoughts while it hangs out. Nature is life, life is math, math is nature.
6. Graphic Tee
You can find rare vintage graphic tees on etsy. When I can’t think of what to get someone, I think of their favorite show from when they were young and buy a tee or hoodie. It shows you were really thinking about them.
Twin Peaks was the original Pretty Little Liars back in the day. This hoodie by BurgerandFriends celebrates the vintage teen drama in a pullover.
7. Vintage Cards
Instead of buying fun junk, give your loved one the gift of your own words. You can buy pretty stationary from Etsy and craft your own message by expressing your gratitude for people who support you.
This adorable card comes with an encouraging statement for your loved one. You never know how your words could impact someones life. Spread love!
When you buy from Etsy you’re supporting a network of creators who have made their dreams a reality. It’s special when someone has spent hours working on a beautiful gift for you to share with someone else.
xoxo
Passion
