Are you "Creatively In The Midst" of holiday shopping?

Hello! 'Tis the season for impulsive and chaotic shopping is here! Surprising those we think of on special occasions can make those days more exciting! Finding the perfect gift on a wish list may or may not put a mind at ease. There’s no reason to panic! Let your gift ideas flow with your natural shopping abilities. You may get lucky and stumble across something bigger or smaller, but better than what’s on that wishlist. Besides, some gifts aren’t used on a regular basis and stashed away with other discarded things for whatever reason…Trendy gifts could possibly become a bore to someone who’s always looking for the next new thing…The gift you want and need may not be available in store or online.
     So, what gift should you buy? The answer may be different for every individual. Buying a gift that someone can use daily, weekly, or monthly is a smart option. For me, I‘ve noticed that things that are more beneficial to someone’s self-care, safety/protection, or personal convenience are gladly accepted. Gifts that the other person may not even think to buy for themselves is also a smart gift buying route to take. Just think about simple, everyday, and useful things. Keep in mind, what works for you, may not work for them. Your gift buying choice could be helpful at some point or another. At least, I hope so! They say,” It’s the thought that counts.” Until you see the expression on the receiver's face, you really won’t know. In my “Coming to America” voice, “Go ahead honey take a chance.”
      Glam gift giving has been one of my favorite and simpler options. If that’s what you’re looking for, this small list is for you. What would I, the blogger, use and give in a glam stocking, box, or basket? Many things, but I’ll just list a few great useful goodies here…Keep in mind,  there are other options available for these products and brands. If they’re not listed below, you may be able to find them using the links provided. This list can assist you in compiling a "never too late holiday gift" stocking, box, or basket that others make refer to as  "last-minute gifts" Good luck!

1. Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips

I’ve come to realize not everyone is into lipstick, lip gloss, or other dramatic lipwear. Everyone can use some lip therapy and care. Vaseline has been one the top go to products for skin care and lips. The Rosy Lips 0.25 oz is one of their top sellers and perfect size for stocking stuffers.

They have options for everyone.

2. Nature’s Truth Peppermint Aromatherapy Topical Mist

If the peppermint aroma doesn’t bother the giftee, then this is definitely useful. It can be sprayed on pillows and bedding for a restful and peaceful night. The giftee can even use it for their visiting guests.

3. Bling Sting Pepper Spray

Let’s hope they never have to use this item, but at least have it on hand if they have to. Showing someone you care about their safety is a good sign. For whatever reason, many people don’t think about buying pepper spray. Again even if they don’t use it, just having a little safety comfort makes it worth buying and giving. It’s a great accessory to have.

4. Planner

Planners are very useful. They can help make days, weeks. months, and years less of a hassle. Someone trying to keep everything in their head can be very stressful. Important dates and information stored in a well organized place is a very convenient and productive way to assist in making daily tasks simpler. 


You can find planners at your local Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Walmart, or online.



5. Think Space Beauty LED SLIM MIRROR


Rather you’re at home, work, social gathering, traveling, or etc., a mirror is always useful. Sometimes, it’s good to have your own handy and available. The little small compact mirrors are only good for so much. It’s impossible to carry a large vanity mirror everywhere you go. This mirror is like carrying a normal size tablet around.  It’s a lightweight and rechargeable led mirror. Perfect for a purse or bag big enough to store it.

6. All Season Professional ASP Stainless Steel Pedicure File

All feet are not the same. Not all pedicure services are the same. The right pedicure file can make a big difference.  Pedicure files are very important to foot care, soft, and smooth feet. Definitely one of those items, I enjoy using and seeing great results. Even if you are or know  someone who is a faithful pedicure client, this file is a must have item just in case that Pedicure Pro appointment isn’t available.

Lipsticks or lip glosses? Although I can’t go wrong with a good long lasting lipstick, I find myself needing lip gloss here and there. I’d have to say that both work well for me. They both compliment the overall appearance of my lips and other lip colors. There’s only one hiccup(for me) when it comes to wearing lip glosses. They don't last as long as my lipsticks. Preferably, lipstick is my first choice. I’m finding t hat there are other necessary reasons to keep a few lip glosses in my cosmetic collection. I'm sharing a few of my “all under $10” top picks and why I personally like them. I’m not limited to these particular lip glosses. For now, I use these four brands based on the occasion or my need for them. They can be easily accessed over the counter! Take into consideration that I'm a non affiliated consumer. The post is my personal experience. The post is not intended to rate the products. Please read product labels before purchasing and usage. Thank you!
