We’ve had gift guides on the brain since at least mid-July, so it’s time we shared our carefully curated list of festive finds. We’ll be sharing a few of our faves every day this week, so be sure to check back! Today: all that glitters. Since everything seems to sparkle during the holidays, we rounded up a few of the brightest gifts for kids, sisters, glam girlfriends and more.

Pair them with a Gogo’s play mat ($12.99) or carrier bag to up your cool Aunt/Uncle factor.

Classic Creations 18K White Gold Grey Slice Diamond Earrings
Perfect for: The One Woman You Need to Impress
Because: Let’s face it, nothing impresses like diamonds. These gorgeous earrings are definitely a luxury, but when you do a little cost-per-wear math, keeping in mind that she’ll likely wear these for every New Year’s Eve party, birthday, wedding and other major celebratory event for the next 20 years, she’s worth the splurge. Plus, a gift like this pretty much guarantees you a spot on her “nice” list for the rest of your life.

Stila Cosmetics Holiday Lip Glaze Set

Perfect in her stocking or as a glam little gift topper.
