Muse's Gift

You know Christmas is next week……have you been naughty?  Forgot to do your Christmas shopping?  Are you guilty of being a last minute shopper?  Shame on you!

Sometimes it’s a good thing to be a late shopper because you snag all the best deals at the last minute!

Jump ahead for some last minute gift ideas!

The Too Faced Glamour Revolution ($39.50) is my favorite for a last minute gift idea. It’s packed with cosmetics, it’s under $40 bucks, and it comes packaged really beautifully which makes it look like you put alot of work into it as a gift but really you just had to suffer through the long line at Sephora to purchase it!

The Bath and Body Works Temptation Collection is marked down from $10 to $5 each. I think picking up all four scents and tossing them in a gift bag is a great last minute gift ($20 for all four)! Or haul a themed collection such as the Twisted Peppermint Bath Wash, Foaming Soap, and Mist ($15 for all three) for a cute little present. Perfect quickie gift on the fly!

The Q guarantees shipment on many of their gifts for Christmas so there is still time to get some great quickie gifts from QVC.

My favs:

Philosophy Wishing You A Berry Christmas Shower Gel ($18.24) Item Number A93919

Last Minute Gift Ideas 7

Philosophy Merry-Mint Chocolate Box 3-in-1 Shower Gel Duo ($25.90) Item Number A93922

Laura Geller Tropics Deluxe Collection ($37.27) Item Number A91793

Many of Victoria’s Secret Gift Sets are marked down already in store which makes for great quickie gifts and savings!

My favs:

Victoria’s Secret Velvet Amber Blackberry Gift Bag ($19.99)

Victoria’s Dream Angels Heavenly Gift Box (Was $58, Now $40)

Sephora’s pre-package mini themed collections this year were probably the soundest solution for getting your friends and family a little of everything.

My fav:

Sephora LashStash Mascara Deluxe Sampler ($39)

The moral of this story is there’s still time to cash in on some fabulous gifts. Early bird get the worm but late ones get the deals! All you late shoppers will enjoy 20-50% off or more!

Happy hauling!

I’m decidedly NOT a last-minute shopper, so all of my gifts are bought and wrapped and under the tree. I would love to receive that Chocolate Cherry and Mint set, though! Love it. Great ideas for the stragglers, Muse! :)

Well, I’m done shopping but I bought myself the Lambie Sleep Blankie online like three minutes ago.

How old am I again? lol. I nearly cried when I realized both my local stores were SOLD OUT. I kept holding out because I thought my dad would get it, but turns out he forgot I asked for one back in like, October…

mollie it’s so worth it :-D it’s 30% off in store so I hope you got a good deal??? First lambie? :) I’m loving it. I was holding off too and finally caved as they were selling FAST! I got last year’s version and love this years but the entire “it’s bigger” is somewhat misleading it’s still to small to cover me from head to neck! grrr! and I’m SHORT!
