The new Barbie movie drops this week and to celebrate, I wanted to surprise my childhood best friends, Jen and Kat, with some women’s barbie-inspired gifts. We grew up together and spent soooo many days of our childhood playing barbies. The majority of my memories as a young girl revolve around us sitting in my room, sweating our asses off in the summer since we had no AC, only leaving my room to go downstairs for snacks. We were very fucking busy with our barbies. So, as soon as I heard they were making a new Barbie movie, I texted Jen and Kat to say, “We are going to this together!” And so, we are doing just that on Friday.
To honor the hours we spent as kids role playing with Barbie, I wanted to surprise them with fun gift bags full of Barbie swag for women! I got myself the same shit so we’d all match of course. I found some great shit from a few stores. Kitsch, Ulta, Claire’s, and Amazon were where I sourced the majority of these finds.
Barbie Gifts for Women from Kitsch:
I figure all women can appreciate a nice satin pillowcase. The fact that Kitsch dropped this hot pink Barbie one was my first purchase. It kind of set my whole idea in motion. While browsing their site, I loved the claw clip set too! You can use the code Summer20 right now to get 20% off your entire order! And since I bought three of everything, I appreciated the discount.
Barbie Gifts from Ulta:
Next, I hit up Ulta just to get some Barbie themed cosmetics. They did have an actual Barbie NYX lip gloss, but I didn’t like the color as much as this one that I ordered. If you’ve never tried this extremely affordable lip gloss, you are missing out. I wear the NYX butter gloss in “Eclair” daily. It doesn’t last that long (what do you expect, it’s five fucking dollars?) But it’s not sticky and the color is perfection. Lastly, I snagged a Barbie bath bomb and some OPI hot pink nail polish too.
Lastly, I knew I’d find some good barbie gifts at Claire’s, since they sell mostly kids jewelry. I got us each a Barbie notebook and matching pom pom pen. I also love a good compact mirror for my purse. It’s nice to have a little mirror on hand to see if you have shit in your teeth or food on your face. Or maybe I’m just a heathen? Regardless, I got us these pink drip compact mirrors to toss into our purses. Lastly, I thought we could channel our younger selves, so I grabbed us beaded BFF bracelets just for kicks.
Amazon Barbie Gift Finds:
I scoured Amazon for hours looking for good Barbie gift ideas for women. A lot of things that came up were clothing items, and I know none of us will never wear a Barbie t-shirt out and about. So I got us all these adjustable pink bracelets instead. I figure they’re cute AF but something we could all wear again! Then, I grabbed us sparkly tumblers, gum, and strawberry sheet masks for Walmart to round out the gift bags.
