T-MINUS 17 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS
The countdown has begun! Okay, so it began for me when I started my Christmas Shopping back in October. But as the time is drawing near, quite a few are struggling with what to get someone for the perfect gift! I'm sorry to say, but you're not going to find it reading this. Instead, I'm going to list 11 things that I, along with a large majority of girls all around the world, would enjoy to receive.
Side Note:
Although a wish list, personally, I enjoy giving more than receiving. So this Christmas I urge you to do something nice for a stranger, a family member, a coworker or for our beautiful planet.
And The List Begins!
- This LUXE Faux Fur Gold Throw is not only the perfect addition to my bedroom, but it's a soft as a cloud. Find it here.
- 3-Wick Candles from Bath and Body Works! Their holiday line of scents are a little gift from Santa himself, I'm positive. Not only are candles always a solid gift choice, they're on sale right now! Only $12 a candle instead of their normal $22! Plus, there's a 20% off code if you order them online! Put them in your shopping cart right now! (P.S. Check out marshmallow peppermint, marshmallow fireside, cinnamon caramel swirl and hot buttered rum!)
- Urban Decay's Limited Edition Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow Palette! I'm not going to lie to you, once I saw the shadow choices I shreeked. Between the 'favorites' Gwen personally picked and Urban Decay's quality of shadows, my eyes were all over this before they even announced the sell date. Luckily enough, it's out now at Sephora!
- Another Sephora gift that is the most beautiful highlighter known to mankind (and pale skinned gals, I know you're high fiving me virtually right now) the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector in OPAL. I tested this on my skin the last time I was there and my oh my, it was stunning. I am a firm believer in not buying yourself anything before Christmas, so December 26th will have to do. ;)
- Last makeup item I swear it! I'm sorry, but this item is the cats meow. I swatched this and felt my heart start beating out of my chest (comparable to when Michael kisses me. It's our anniversary month so get used to the mush now.) Only at ULTA (even though I saw it at Sephora?) It's SO pigmented I've been trying to come up with a word that means more than pigmented. Yes. It's so great it's worth that much of the dramatics. The warm/cool neutrals means it is a great addition to anyone's makeup collection. Go pick it up for your favorite makeup junkie today!
- My phone case just broke and with a newly fixed shattered iPhone, I'm kind of obsessed with the safety of my phone. So why not do it in style? Go spend hours on Casetify , yes, hours. There are really THAT many options. There's something for everyone. Not only can you look through their "shop" tab but you can also customize one for your best friend or Mom! :)
- I am unsure what other people do when they're stressed or need some "me time" but I l o v e to take baths and my table full of bubble baths are here to prove it. Bubble bath is used frequently and one of those items I could never have enough of. Shop places like Target, ULTA or Bath & Body Works for the best deals on bundles and gift sets!
- A KITTEN!Okay okay, don't start yelling at me. But look how precious this Seal Mink Ragdoll is! I know, I'm cut off from kitty buying for now. Instead, get some catnip, cat toys, a cute kitty christmas outfit or some luxury collars. I know I'm not the only animal lover that is happy to see their animals happy....a present for them is a present for me! Easy as that. Check out places like PetSmart or my personal favorite, Pet Supermarket!
- Gift cards! But not to just anywhere! GAS GIFT CARDS. Okay so when is this type of gift card frowned upon? It isn't, ever. Because buying your own gas is something you have to do, but having someone else buy a tank for you? A happiness like no other. Besides, I'm in college. Gas is the last thing I want to spend my money on when I'm living paycheck to paycheck. Like I said, never a bad idea.
- Sunglasses! Living in Florida and constantly squinting year round if you don't have your sunglasses on you (or even worse, when you don't have a pair that matches your outfit) is a day you go home with a headache and bad attitude. Check out my two favorite picks this year here and here !
That's all I have for you! Hope you enjoyed and if you're reading this for ideas for the chicka's in your life, hope you were inspired! Just rememeber ultimately, it doesn't matter how much you spend, as long as the gift comes from the heart. Any type of thought put into a present is cherished more than something that is making you break the bank. Merry Christmas! You'll be hearing from me soon.
