GirlieGirl Army Holiday Gift Guide 2019

Another year has come and gone, and we have survived and thrived.. or at least are pretending to really well! Now let us celebrate with semi-reckless abandon, and personalized gifts galore. You’ll find many of our gifts center around the home and bed, and that’s because we are lazy and love to be under the covers for most of the winter. Love us anyway.

Here are our picks for GGA Gift Guide 2019!

We are giving you plenty of time to do things in advance this year, no excuses. Pin your favorites on pinterest, or pop a handful of faves in your amazon and etsy carts so you don’t forget your favorites! Want to save cash? Use retailmenot.com for coupons when shopping online on nearly any website, and sign up for couponcabin.com for cash back for each online purchase you make! It’s free money, do it. You can also sign up for joinhoney.com to be alerted when the item you’re interested in buying goes down in price (if it does) since you have a little time to complete your holiday shopping and you’re thinking in advance, you fine-ass cowgirl.

Also: We know many of you choose not to support amazon, and we respect and understand your decision. Therefore, we have offered dual ways to shop most items with both the direct link to product from manufacturer, and an amazon link (or simile product) if available.

Speaking of warmth.. say goodbye to dangerous space heaters and hello to the next generation of energy-efficient home-heating patented nanotechnology. Invroheat’s Wall-hanging Infrared Room Heater is decorative wall art that is also a safe and energy-efficient way to heat your space. No more bulky space heaters that take up floor space or could easily get knocked over. Invroheat’s simple, safe and money-saving design makes warming up a room easy, so this is a perfect – and unique -gift for a college kid in a chilly dorm room, a home office denizen, or a library lovers book nook. Infrared is radiant heat, it’s the same as the feeling of warmth from the sun on your face and or the heat from a coal fire. This has been favored for millennia because it heats objects, which then radiate back and keep the environment warm around you.

This is a twofer! Not many of us have a full vanity area with white fluffy stool and 50’s movie star lights, those of us in apartments tend to do our make up standing over the sink.

Ah, what a joy – sitting while applying make up!

Now you can learn the art of reading tea leaves – or coffee grounds – with this beautifully designed facsimile of an Edwardian fortune telling cup and saucer, paired with Jane Lyle’s expert book as your guide. Reading tea leaves is a traditional divinatory method and this kit allows you to make predictions for yourself and your friends, explaining the meaning of over 200 of the signs and symbols you’ll find in your cup. The explanations accompanying these signs and symbols allow you to relate them to real events and future possibilities, providing clear insights: a heart near the rim of the cup means that love is not far away; a horse indicates the need for strength and patience; a cake may signify a celebration or a party. So, drink a cup and see what the leaves have to say about your future.
