6 weeks today is Christmas Day.
6 weeks.
I love to shop for others. Maybe more than I love to shop for myself.
And honestly? You don't need to spend a fortune to get something amazing.
All the goodies below are priced under $50. In some cases, well below $50.
1. I am full-on in love with this vintage number charm bracelet from Anthropologie. If it's not under the tree, I will definitely be picking one up for myself. I think 3 for the number of children I have would be fun. Or maybe lucky number 7? Either way, LOVE.
2. I love all of the gift sets available at Christmas time. Combine that love with my love of Nars products and this Walk on the Wild Side limited edition set is amazing. It includes a silver illuminator, funky polish and a jumbo sized lip gloss in a shade that is sure to be flattering on just about anyone.
3. How cute is this hot water bottle? I won't mention the fact that it is red and hot pink striped; one of my favorite color combos. And then, there's the pom pom's. Enough said.
4. These J. Crew lodge moccasins may just be the cutest slippers I've ever seen. I think I might want to wear them out.
5. Metallic anything around the holidays is so fun. I like a good tassel and this Coach single legacy key ring gives you both. Cute factor and sparkle.
6. This one is for my Canadian gals. Please, run, don't walk, to Holt's as soon as you are able. At $35, their new holiday beauty bag will not last long. I checked it out in person the other day and thought the value was excellent. Two, not one, cosmetic bags {there is a smaller bag inside the larger one} plus some exclusive samples from brands that rarely share. And, if that isn't enough, a $10 coupon for use at the cosmetic counter. Nice.
I love that it's a simple black with red lining and has just a touch of gold. Elegant and timeless. Honestly, I would buy two. One to keep, one to give.
7. And lastly, I saw this skull print scarf by Zara on my nephew's lovely girlfriend and haven't stopped thinking about it since. It features a skull print that seems prettier than it is scary, has a little sparkle and a splash of color. I just realized that it is available in two shades : how to decide?
So...the dreaded question.
Have you started your shopping yet?
Know that I have purchased exactly one gift. One.
Tick, tick, tick.
Good Morning my friend, Yes (thankfully) I have started the Christmas shopping, I like to be finished before the mobs of people descend on the shops.These are some wonderful finds and the price points "jolly good".... wishing you a fab week! xo C. (HHL)

ReplyDeleteAgreed Jacqueline! And at a fraction of the cost.
DeleteI've purchased three gifts- one for my brother, and two for my dog. Yeah... I've still got some work to do. Love your recommendations! I'd love to receive any of those!
ReplyDeleteLove them all, but that hot water bottle makes me want to fake cramps and jump under the covers to watch "Love Actually." Like ... right NOW!
ReplyDeleteKnow that I read this comment while waiting for Izzy to finish piano lessons. And that I laughed OUT LOUD all alone in the car like a crazy woman. Thanks for that.

ReplyDeletethese ARE some beauties--I agree with the slipper-so cute! A great scarf is a nice choice for that person who has everything and THAT'S who's name your draw for gift exchange. =) While I'm not in love with the skull-I peek through the site and saw-Kenneth Cole New York Fusion Stripe Scarf that I think is WONDERFUL!!!
