Gift Ideas?

The best person to shop for during Christmas is my sister. She practically loves everything that I give her and I know her tastes. Here are a bunch of things that look like a great deal and a worthwhile gift list for those you love, like or tolerate. It's a bit of everything and this also isn't a comprehensive list by price, but more of a personal suggestion. Now, I haven't tried all of the products on this list but I've heard good things about them, so don't take my word as the bible.

For $10:




For $14 & 25:




For $50 and a bit under:



If you plan to give someone over the $50 mark, then you should know them better than to pull their gift out of a generic list. Now this may be biased by my own tastes (Burberry set), but you can always make some changes and use that 20% off code. Now, I plan to get my sister something that is not on the list and I'll reveal it after I get it for her. I don't want it risk getting sold out.

If you plan to buy under $25, then Sephora has a Holiday IT KIT that looks great, especially the Best in Classic.

EDIT: Placed my order in and thought that it would be safe to mention her gift. It hasn't shipped yet, so paws off. She's almost out of her lotion and has been eyeing this eye cream so I know that she'll enjoy it.



It's been a real struggle for gas here in my part of NYC and I know that other people have been hit worse. I've been sending out good wishes and donating where I can but still feel so bad for those who've lost lives and homes. Honestly, I've been living in NY for about 20 yrs and whenever we heard reports on hurricanes and storms, we've always scoffed. The forecasts were always over exaggerated and we've managed to get through it, and maybe that's why many have been dismissive and under-prepared for Hurricane Sandy. Sigh. It's going to be a cold winter.
