Back in April, I decided to complete a “101 Things to do in 1001 Days” challenge, and No. 88 was to “buy something from Etsy and blog about it.” So when I found out that Bare and Me was going to be a sponsor/vendor at the BlogHer 16 Conference in Los Angeles, I decided to browse Laurie’s Etsy shop and I soon decided what I wanted to purchase before I even saw the items IRL.

So I’ve compiled a short list of gifts that any woman would love to receive.
