{{brand-block="/brand-blocks/gg-sister-amika-perk-up-dry-shampoo"}}

When I first tried this dry shampoo, I was genuinely shocked at how well it worked compared to all other brands and methods I had tried. Even better, it's sustainable, cruelty-free, and vegan.

{{brand-block="/brand-blocks/gg-sister-made-trade-one-of-a-kind-beaded-hoops"}}

These hoops are made with Japanese glass beads, and each piece varies in color and pattern. They also are gold-filled, meaning they're much more tarnish-resistant than gold-plated or vermeil options.

Lucy & Yak has a huge range of colors and patterns for you to pick from. Personally, my favorites are the Powder Blue Corduroy ones!

A bracelet or necklace full of vintage charms is a stunningly sweet gift. Even better: make it a tradition and gift each other charms each year, building bracelets full of long-time memories.

Sentimental gifts are always a hit. If there's a childhood photo of you and your sister that she loves, frame it in a vintage frame! Or, gift her a portrait session and offer to frame those.
