Hurry Up and Buy!: Your Last Minute Gift Guide

So if you are like me you have either just started shopping or did not even start. There is so much to do, who has the time? But it is not Christmas Eve yet so you guys still have some time.

Now we all know we are in a recession (sorry. I am sick of hearing that too but it is true) and our pockets are a little slimmer this time around, so I will share some inexpensive gift ideas with you all.

Magazine Subscriptions




Give the fashion head in your life the gift of all things fashion year around with a subscription to his/her favorite magazine. During the holidays they often have a buy one subscription get the other one free so you could kill two (gift) birds with one stone. They usually run about $10 which is amazing.



Trendy, Costume Jewelry



Give the latest trends in jewelry without breaking the bank. It's gonna be out of style in a minute anyways so why go all expensive when you can go to your local Forever21 and get this season's runway knock off's for a knock out price.


Wallets



Urban Outfitters has a great selection of cute wallets for under $20.

Hand Lotion


Yes, I said hand lotion. Ashy hands are not cute regardless if you have on the flyest outfit in the universe.

One last point that I would like you to remember is PRESENTATION.


The gift wrapping is almost as important as what's inside. It's much like clothing...an extension of what is on the inside. Same concept with gift wrapping...it is an extension of what is in the box.

Hope you find this helpful. Happy shopping!
