Holiday Gifting Guide: Last Minute Ideas

If you are someone like me that like to (but don't mean to) leave your Christmas shopping till the very possible last moment then this is the gift guide for you!  With many years of last minute shopping experience, I want to curate some coveted last minute gifts that are fitting for everyone on your list.  Whether it is your best friend, co-workers, mailman, neighbor etc... I got an easy fix to what I called the Last Minute Shopper Anxiety .  So don't wake up in the middle of the night panicking and sweating, get some rest and find yourself a parking spot at the mall and your battle is already half over.   

I have to admit shopping last minute is probably the most stressful thing during the holidays, especially if you have no clue in what to get!  The best gifts are not meant to be last minute because they require time to deliver and plan.  For fancier gifts, I suggest arranging them ahead of time or even shop for them during Black Friday Sales.  However, if you need a great stocking stuffer, a part two to another gift of just something small and sweet than last minute shopping isn't hard at all.  I find that through the years the best place to hunt and buy gifts are stores that offer many options and hassle-free return/exchange policies.  To ensure the best holiday ever for you and your special someone - check out these great gift ideas below! 

• Amore Pacific Moisture Bound- Oil Free Essentials: I have recently discovered this luxe Korean skincare line called Amore Pacific at Sephora and it is excellent.  Perfect for my oily skin, this little four-piece travel set is a great introduction to their brand and offers me the essential moisture I need for winter.  If you need more hydration, try their equally wonderful Moisture Bound Rejuvenating Essentials Set

• SurgarFina Ice Cream Cones: This boutique style company started by a previous Barbie executive, creates delicate gummies for grownups that are imported straight from Germany.  First introduced to me by a lovely friend, these ice cream goodies in strawberry, vanilla and raspberry will surely even delight the most mature of your friend or family.  Also available at Nordstrom

• Voluspa Mokara Candle: Fresh and floral, this luxurious candle is scented with mokara orchid, white lily and spring moss that comes in an exquisite scallop glass.  I love gifting candles in a neutral scents that aren't overpowering because they fit everyone and adds just the perfect note to make a room seem more inviting. 

• Deborah Lippman Undressed Shades of Nudes Nail Set:  For the makeup junkie and nail enthusiast or just someone that is even a little more conservative, these six lovely creamy nude shades will flatter any skin tone and make looking natural all-so-glamourous.   Also available at Sephora they are now on sale! 

• Sephora Be Spotted Cat Nap Eye Mask: I can't find the link to this anymore maybe because they are sold out online but if you lucky enough to find it at a Sephora store grab it immediately.  For your night owl bestie or even for yourself, this sleeping mask in spotted leopard is a limited edition rose gold collection for the holidays.  I also love this bronzer from Two Faced cosmetics to match! 

• Lindt Champs-Elysées:  I was super excited to see this beautifully packaged Parisian themed set of HUGE assorted chocolates by Lindt because I love their chocolate.  Perfect to impress a neighbor, mailman, lawn guy, or coworker you will have them all saying merci in no time!  Available at Home Outfitters 

• Wildflower by Drew Barrymore:  A great title to describe this Award-winning actress, Drew Barrymore shares funny, insightful and profound life stories from her past.  A book that is sure to delight even if you are not a fan, pick up this gorgeous read for your friend or family that loves to curl up on a Sunday​
