It's that time of the year again!
I am getting super-excited since we entered the month of December! Magical decorations and Christmas trees are already set
up in my neighborhood, I think about all the delicious food that is to be cooked and shared with friends and family, and we’re
all getting our style on point for New Year’s Eve.
But as much as I love to eat, the best part for me is always the moment when we open the presents! At this time
of the year, we focus on making our loved ones happy by finding the perfect
gift…And that's where I stop dreaming, because now I think of how much of a hassle it is to find that perfect gift!
Last year, I almost lost it while trying to find cool, useful AND affordable items for each and every member of the family. This year, my early resolution is to never get to that point, ever again! So I brainstormed, researched, and eventually made
this little guide of 10 affordable and useful items that
one cannot go wrong with!
1. “My Little Mini Box” by L’Occitane en Provence – Free with
order of $25+
This cute little box contains generous bubble bath soap, an
eau de toilette with a delicate
floral fragrance, a soft hand cream enriched with milk and almond oil, and two
Christmas treats: a soft blend of Kusmi Tea herbs and a delicious Première
Pression Provence calisson.
2. “Makeup Academy Blockbuster” BY SEPHORA - $49.50

complete eye, lip, and full-face looks, perfect for the season’s parties! It

5. Leather Touchscreen Gloves by Mujjo - $75
In this age, these gloves are probably the best gift you could ever make to anyone who owns a phone. Even though they are a bit on the pricey side, they are also fashionable and functional, and they will help avoid freezing our fingers every time we get a text message. Game-loving people will love this.
