With Christmas just around the corner, a lot of people might be finding themselves scrambling to pick up a last minute gift for a friend or relative. It's too late to get anything shipped in time, so any presents have to be purchased from a brick and mortar store— ugh! This is a list of gifts that are easy to assemble and don't require ordering anything online.
1. Relaxation Kit.
I put together two different versions of this gift. The basic idea is to assemble items that any woman would love to have whenever she wants to treat herself. The first option is made entirely of items I picked up my local Bath and Body Works. It contains a coco shea honey candle, two bath bombs, a vanilla bean noel body creme, and a matching body spray. The second version is made up of a pair of slippers and pajama set from Victoria's Secret, as well as a mini Dr. Teal's bubble bath and Epson salt that I got from Walgreen's.
2. DIY Shadow Box.
Shadow boxes are a beautiful addition to anyone's home decor and they have a special handmade touch. This option is especially great if you have collected a lot of great photos and memories with a certain friend or relative. Shadow boxes are really easy to create and they don't require a lot of supplies. All you need is a shadow box frame, photos, colorful paper, scrapbook letters, and a few decorative accents. I got this shadow box frame and everything I used to decorate it with from Michael's.
3. Sun & Fun Duo.
This is a great option if you live somewhere that is sunny and hot all year round, like California or Florida. I put this set together using a basic sunscreen from Walgreen's and a pair of adorable Betsey Johnson sunglasses I got a TJ Maxx. If you're looking to add a little more to this gift, consider adding a beach towel and/or a pair of cute sandals.
4. Makeup Lover's Eye Set.
A quick trip to Ulta or Sephora will get you everything you need for this gift idea. I paired the Peanut Butter and Honey Pocket Palette from Too Faced with one of the Better Than Sex Mascaras by the same brand to create this cute makeup gift.
5. Accessories Jar.
There are a lot of great variations of this gift. You can create put it together using any earrings, necklaces, headbands, or bracelets. There are a lot of cute accessories available at Target and almost every women's fashion store you can find at a mall. I put my accessories jar together using two pairs of earrings I had ordered earlier from Paparazzi jewelry and a headband I got at Charlotte Russe. The jar itself is from Walgreen's.
Merry Christmas!
