21 days left for Christmas day. It’s so close yet so far! Are you ready? Have you bought all your Christmas presents? Have you started that present shopping list? Well if you’re in the mist of doing those things or if you have no idea where to start, don’t stress it, in this blog post hopefully you can detract some ideas given by the lovely MissRemiAshten and creative Kaliee Elise. If you wish to follow their YouTube channels I included the link in their names and I will do the same for their social medias. Also a fair warning, any prices listed are not concrete and may not be accurate. If you wish to purchase any of the items that will be listed below remember to do some research. The key is all about finding the right place so although a few suggestions to where to buy items are provided, don’t feel restricted to these. Make it your own way and experience. Okay so let’s get started!

    Phone Cases: nice thing to give to a friend who you know loves to constantly decorate their phone or is constantly on it. According to MissRemiAshten you can find very good cases at Victoria’s Secret or Amazon for very agreeable prices. Prices may be as low as $7. Great place to shop for some very aesthetic pleasing, tumbler inspired phone cases: Goodvibes. com. They have a variety of options. Neon colored, girly girl, black Go and check it out!

  • Pots: You can go to Target and buy a simple pot for a parent, grandparent, or friend for $12 or you can easily find pot kits that will make the present even more special. Maybe if you want to expand on this idea then you can buy a friend a pot with a plant already inside it. Or if you’re me and cannot keep plants alive if your own life depended on it then definitely check out some miniature succulents. Either way tie a little bow and violià your second present is done!
  • Candles: Bath and Body Works is your best

    friend for this idea. You can get candles for $20 or if they are on sale for $10. This is a great present because I for one always struggle to choose what to buy adults so this is a great option to take care of that problem. And who doesn’t like a nice smelling room. This present also has the advantage of being gender neutral so it’s easy to pick for anyone.

  • Makeup: Now this one may be a little tricky if you are unfamiliar with makeup brands or if you don’t a person’s personal taste so to solve this problem stay simple. Go to Target or any other general merchandise store and purchase a makeup kit for $15. Kits in these stores usually contain several pieces of eyeshadow, blushes, and bronzers. Elf is an example of an inexpensive brand that can be found in Target and great for a first time makeup user. If you want to be more fancy then you can go to Sephora or Nordstrom Rack and find great prices. These brands have great quality products and you’re bound to find a good deal so go in and grab a kit that’s on sale and you’re set. No sweat. 
  • Box Sets: This is a great idea for

    a present because self care products are the most practical. Once again hop into Target or Walmart and buy a box set. Boxes can be bought for $10, depending on where you look, and contain anything from nail polish to razors to shaving cream. For women Caress is a good choice whose box sets include items like pumice stones and loofahs, etc. Or for men Dove’s Men + Care Kit/ Old Spice is excellent. For men sets include deodorants, shampoo conditioner and face wash. And there is another inexpensive gift!

  • Perfume: This can be bought at Target, like so many other amazing things for prices anywhere from $30 to $90 depending on the brand of the perfume. You can buy individual bottles or kits that have a travel size bottle and lotion. The choice is yours.
  • Spa Set: Another self care related present is a spa set.

    Go to Target and buy a bunch of spa related items that you can throw in a basket and wrap a ribbon around to give to someone. This is a perfect present to give because it’s thoughtful yet easy and simple. Buy hair up towels or shower wraps, which are great because they have an elastic that keeps your towel from falling down once when you have it on. The image on the right is a little silly because it has the little sign in the middle but this image does a good job of displaying the quality of the towels as best as possible. 

  • Cooking Items: If you know someone loves cooking then figure out something they’ve been wanting and buy it for them. Do you have a friend that loves cookies and baking? Buy them a bucket of cookie dough. Do you have a chef in the family or food lover in the family? Ask them what kind of utensils they need and give them that as their present. I have on personal experience done this for my Uncle whose been a chef for many years and it was such a great decision. 
  • Fuzzy Blankets: I am in love if not obsessed with fuzzy blankets.

    I have more then I need and definitely have no more room for them but I still included them on my wish list this Christmas because they are just so amazing and soft! You can use them to wrap yourself like a burrito and stay in bed all day or wrap them around yourself while you get your job or academic work done. You can toss it on and relax by the window and read a book while drinking some warm hot chocolate. Just picture it, it sounds awesome! And to complete it all add some holiday fuzzy socks. You can purchase high quality fuzzy blankets and socks at any Marshalls, Target or TJ Maxx. Just look at how soft it looks! Imagine falling asleep on it. Imagine how warm and cozy it would be.

Remember, don’t over stress that people won’t like or be happy with what you give them because at the end of the day you are not required to give anyone a present and Christmas is about spending time with the people you love and care for, not about presents.
