Hey everyone! Correct me if I'm wrong but you're never too old to have your own stocking for Christmas. If your family doesn't own any, it's never too late to make your own or get them personalized.

Let's get into the stocking stuffers!

Sephora goodies

Body Lotion


Blanket Scarves from Zara

Monogrammed Jewelry



Pandora Charms (or start a bracelet)

Tech Accessories

Bath and Body Works Mini Candles 

       

Mugs 

           

Room Decor

           

Miscellaneous 

I hope these will give you some inspiration for not only stocking stuffers but little extras to make your gift more special. If you haven't picked up your main gifts yet... what are you waiting for?!

Holiday Gift Guide: Fashion Accessories

Welcome to my holiday gift guide, accessories edition! This will be your handbook on everything from jewelry to bags to small fashion goodies. Similarly, I will only be including items within a $200 budget so you will be able to get all your friends and family something special within draining your bank account.


Comestic Bags, $8-$65

                  

A suggestion I have would be pop the beauty gifts into a cute makeup bag so this way your gift is a complete set. Forever 21 has some really affordable cosmetic pouches with really fun designs.

Lounge Wear, $12-$48 at Victoria's Secret

This is a little more reserved for close friends and family but it's definitely considered items that people tend to overlook when shopping for themselves. Personally, I can say that I absolutely hate spending money on PJ's and socks.

Scarves , $30-$50 from Zara

Although not every girl wears scarfs, no one will complain if they receive it as a gift. They're super comfy and warm and comes in so many different textures and colours.

Tech Accessories, $45-$110

                                                                 

Many times you may find it unreasonably difficult to shop for someone because they seem to have everything they will ever need already, this includes every new electronic gadget in the market. But a lot of people don't think of accessorizing their electronics so phone, tablet and laptop cases are a very practical present.

Tiffany's Jewelry, $140-$195

Trust me when I say there's not a single girl in the world who would not be doing cartwheels, at least mentally, if they see a little blue box under the tree.  The return toTiffany and sterling silver line has a more affordable selection of jewelry that make beautiful gifts. To be honest, it was extremely difficult to even pick out my favourite pieces to show you guys, I just want them all!

Small Leather Goods, $95-$170 at Tory Burch

                  

Handbags and wallets are something I urge you not to buy for someone unless you know which specific brand, design or style that they want. However, you can't really go wrong with a coin purse or card holder. I love the selection of SLG's by Tory Burch because they look simple and classy. Also, the leather is comparable to some higher end designers such as Prada but does not put a strain your bank account.  

Since Christmas is quickly approaching, I wanted to let you know about some deals and online shopping deadlines so it arrives in time for Christmas eve.

Nastygal: Additional 50% on sale items - Order by tomorrow for standard shipping

Holiday Gift Guide: Beauty

In most situations, I refuse to jump  the bandwagon and post up the same content as every other blogger and vlogger. But for the sake of you guys, my loyal readers, I had to put up my version of a holiday gift guide to ease your search for the perfect gift during this wonderful, but also stressful, time of the year. I decided to break down the gift guide into different categories: Beauty, Fashion, and Home with goodies ranging in price from as low as five dollars to $150.

I'm starting this segment with beauty since there's only a few days left before you can order from Sephora and have your package arrive by Christmas Eve. Of course, you can probably find most if not all of these items in stores at Sephora, Walmart/Target or your local drugstore. I will be mentioning items that are not only favourites of mine but universally loved the beauty fanatics out there. Also, keep in mind that a selection of the products that I will be listing are things that you normally would not buy for yourself but would make excellent gifts.

Lush Bath Bombs, $5.95-$9.95 each

Bath Bombs are the ultimate recipe for the relaxation a woman needs during the cold weather. They make cute and personalizable gifts since it comes in a wide selection of interesting shapes and scents. Also makes a great stocking stuffers.

Nail Polish, $15-$22 at Sephora

Nail Polishes are another one of those things that us girls are allowed to collect so another is always welcome. Festive sparkles and colours will always liven up the holiday spirit. 

YSL Lip Products, $36-$39 at Sephora 

YSL is unmistakenly a luxury brand and their lip products are especially reserved for an occasional treat which makes it the perfect gift. They come in so many colours and textures that all look amazing on any skin tone. Also the packaging make it even more appealing as gifts.

Sephora Value Sets by Brand, $48-$80

Sephora online has a, what I consider, extensive collection of value sets designed to condense the time and effort spent on holiday gift shopping. These sets include everything from face makeup to eye


Face Masks, $59-$69 at Sephora

Sticking to the whole theme of buying things that the receiver wouldn't normally buy for themselves, face masks definitely fall under that category.


Eyeshadow Palettes $61-$75 at Sephora

Trust me when I say that a girl can never have too many neutral eyeshadows. These 3 are top on my personal wishlist and judging from reviews they are favourites of many.


Fragrance Sampler, $65 at Sephora

Clarisonic Mia 2, $142 on Amazon

The Clarisonic is a product that I think every girl needs in their beauty collection and an essential to daily skincare routines. Besides the fact that I've never seen negative reviews on this device, it also comes with assorted replacement heads customized to different skin types. 

So those are my ideas for what a makeup enthusiast would be ecstatic to receive as a present. Be sure to check back for a fashion edition which will be up sometime this weekend!
