MERRY CHRISTMAS (EVE)!

I hope you all have a healthy and happy Christmas Eve and Day! Hopefully, you've all finished your Christmas shopping, I need to make a quick stop downtown today for some last minute goodies, luckily no snow for us yet so the commute won't be too annoying! And if you're a procrastinator like me, here are a few quick gift ideas (and where to go!):

_Scarves/Gloves/Hats

_Books

_Perfume/Cologne

_Clothing

_Makeup Sets from Sephora

_Bath/Body Products

_Chocolates (Teuscher and Leonidas are delish!)

Also... try to think of some inside jokes you have with the person intended so it's a little more personal! If this hasn't helped much, here are a few stores you can check out to find random stocking stuffers, and other presents:

1.Urban Outfitters

2.Sephora

3.Bloomingdale's (great sales right now!)

4.Saks/Nordstroms/Neiman Marcus

5.Lush

6.Bath & Body Works

7.The Body Shop

8.American Apparel

9.Abercrombie&Fitch

10.Gap
