Last Minute Gifts

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I cannot wait! But maybe you're nervous because you don't have some (or any) of your shopping done, don't worry it happens to the best of us. Here's a few last minute gifts that can also pull weight as stocking stuffers.



Tumblers and To-Go Cups // These are perfect for students on the go and can perform double duty as a container for other little cute gifts. Perfect for secret santa or a gift exchange

Facial Towelettes // Cleaning your face doesn't have to a boring nightly chore. Make your sister, mom, or best friend feel like a queen. I'm a big fan of Yes to Cucumber towelettes and Burt's Bees Baby Bee towelettes. Both smell amazing and are perfect for sensitive skin.

Lip Balm // Your lips have the thinnest skin on your body and the bitter, dry air of winter can really take a number on them! Help your gal pals keep their lips moisturized and look cute too with a fun brand like eos or softlips.

Earbuds // Again, earbuds are an essential for music lovers and those who simply like blocking out the world to get stuff done. I love earbuds but often times they don't fit my tiny ears, be sure to get a pair that comes with different size cushions available in case your pals need to adjust as well.

Keychains // Another easy way to let your recipients personalities shine. Favorite TV shows, movies, books, monograms/initials, symbols, and animals offer lots of good starting places for ideas.

Gift Cards // This one is arguably a cop out, but when combined with some other gifts (like the ones above) you can really come up with some cute themes like a coffee lover's dream or relaxation station.

Christmas Cheer

Please, say it with me...

"The best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear" - elf

There's an atmosphere from late November to December that never fails to disappoint, it really is the most wonderful time of the year. ;) I look forward to ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas, to playing my seven hour (and growing!) long playlist of Christmas songs, to baking cookies, to holiday parties, to Secret Santa exchanges, to our Christmas Eve traditions, to It's A Wonderful Life and elf. It's perfect.

To get even more in the mood here's my 10 Essential Christmas Songs playlist. (Quite honestly I would  love to the 150+ song playlist I having going on Spotify though!)


What's your favorite part of the Christmas season?
