       Are you scratching your head thinking about what to get your #galpals for Christmas?!?! Don’t worry, you aren’t alone! This year has been somewhat difficult for me come up with any creative gift ideas, but today I sat down and forced myself to THINK! I couldn’t believe it’s already December and I was no where near done checking everyone off my list. Time is ticking…and it’s ticking fast!

After thinking long and hard about different gift options, I came up with a list of what I think are 5 Fabulous Gift Ideas that any girl would LOVE to receive from her bestie. These gifts won’t break the bank and are perfect for any city girl on the go! Best part, you won’t have to take one step out of Baltimore to purchase any of these gifts.

If your BFF is anything like me, she will adore this gift!  An Uber gift card will be appreciated and very useful. If she live in the city, then parking can be a hassle at times! The parking situation can be SCARY especially after 5pm or on the weekend!!! So, this is a perfect way to make your friends life a little easier.

 Fabulous Gift Ideas #5

Nalil Salon Gift Card

Find out where your friend gets her nails done and purchase a gift card that she can use towards her next gel mani! If you are feeling extra jolly and want to splurge a little on your bestie, get a package deal: Mani, pedi, and wax!

If she doesn’t have a favorite nail salon, you can check out my go-to nail salon: City Nails in Federal Hill on Light Street. Enjoy wine while getting your mani or pedi done by the very nice staff in clean and relaxing environment. Gel Mani: ~ $35
