"Tis the season!" And whether or not Christmas is your favorite time of the year or you don't even celebrate the pop-cultural holiday; this shopping guide is here to help you navigate any last minute gift ideas that you still need to tend to for anyone on your list and/or for any occasion where you need or want to purchase something for someone to show that you care.
So lets get into the list!
FOR HER: something personalized that says "I know you!"
•Birch Box is a beauty subscription for women. You can purchase holiday beauty samples for your favorite women in your life (as well as subscribe for a monthly delivery of samples to be sent to your door just for you to enjoy)! They have a section set aside labeled "The Holiday Shop" where they have put together boxes containing beauty items such as makeup and hair essentials and some of the boxes include gift cards for subscriptions up to 3 months.
•Perfume always makes a great present and especially when it smells good. Personally I like Designer fragrances because you can spray it on once and it will cling to you for the entire day. I recommend the following:
-Aqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani
-CK One by Calvin Klein(4 piece set)
-Wood Sage & Sea Salt by Jo Malone(MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! Though it comes in a tiny bottle...)
(I like to purchase online from Amazon because they are a one-stop online shop and delivery can be crazy fast depending on where you're ordering from and where the item(s) are being sent from)
*Another great gift idea would be a gift certificate for a massage at a local spa or certificate to get a pedicure and/or manicure at a local nail salon
FOR HIM: not the typical "ties and socks"...
•mancrates.com has everything a man's man could ever want from golf balls to party games and "grill master" essentials making this is the spot for picking out the perfect gift for the men in your life. There packaged deals can be a bit on the pricey side, but it's understandable with everything you receive in the package that they like to call "crates" because the items come in handcrafted crates that also make for great storage savers.
•BirchboxMan is definitely a site to checkout when considering a go-to gift for any man in your life. From husband, boyfriend, brother, or father, BirchboxMan, has a little something that every man needs. You choose which subscription you want to purchase for him/them from 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months which consist of new products for skincare, haircare, and bodycare from the trendiest labels to date!
*Cologne is a another awesome choice for the special man in your life. My recommendation is Aqua di Gio (for men) by Giorgio Armani. It's been out for a minute, but it smells so good; very debonair!
FOR THE KIDS: show them how "cool" you are!
•(For boys and girls)From planet lollipops to a Bioluminescent Dino Pet(dino food, included) giftadvisor.com has handpicked the top gifts for every child with links included to where you can make your purchases.
•(For the girls)L.O.L Surprise: each ball comes with 7 layers of surprises and a fashionable doll that does something different than the others causing you to want to collect them all. And for 20 bucks, it's a decently priced gift that will keep your little princess entertained!
•(For boys)Air Wars Battle Drones: will keep your boy(s) preoccupied for hours (and maybe you too) containing multiple settings and attack moves that make for an extreme time of action-packed fun.
•Checkout bestproducts.com for the complete list of gift ideas for kids that mention L.O.L Surprise and Air Wars Battle Drones as well as the latest "Tickle Me Elmo" and "Barbie's Dream House"
GIFT CARDS: let them get what they want!
(You can purchase by visiting the local stores or online and some will let you send the gift card electronically by email)
•Amazon
•Visa
•iTunes
•Barnes & Noble
•Target
•Walmart
•Starbucks
•Dunkin Donuts
•Whole Foods
•Trader Joe's
•Restaurants such as Applebee's, Friday's, Olive Garden or any local restaurants in your area that offer gift cards or certificates
*A gift card/certificate for a bottle (or bottles) of fine wine from a local winery/wine store makes a nice addition to any gifts you've already purchase or plan to as well as a simple yet tasteful present for your gift-exchange at work!
I hope that this has helped you tremendously as you continue (or start) your gift shopping for those special ones you love.
Remember to subscribe, "like", share- And I'll see you in a couple of days for Thursday's Post (which will be a double feature to implement into your own "aesthetic")!
