Christmas shopping is always
an event for anyone with a list of who to buy gifts for. Luckily there’s online
shopping and popular retail places like Sephora only take 3 days to reach your
door. If you’re like me, you’ll buy all through the year and set it aside in your
closet until it’s wrapping time. Along with Christmas shopping comes managing
your budget, so I compiled this list of my gifts and gift set picks that are
under $25.00…hopefully one will catch your eye…
Soap & Glory Hand
Food Trio $15.00
Soap & Glory makes amazing products, ranging from body
wash to hand cream and body creams. If you’ve got friends who haven’t tried out
Soap & Glory or if they have tried
it and absolutely love this brand, then this is a great gift set for them. It
has the most popular Hand Food Hand Cream in three different scents: Original Pink Hydrating, Fruitigo Hydrating, and Sugar Crush. From past knowledge I know
Sugar Crush is very sweet without being too overstimulating. So if the person
you’re buying for isn’t into sweet scents, this may not be for them.
Victoria’s Secret Eau
de Parfum Gift Set $25.00
Every year, Victoria’s Secret comes out with beautiful and
festive gift sets for that special someone. Gift sets are featured in almost
every scent under the sun at Victoria’s Secret; there are also other sets like
lip-glosses and PINK gift sets. This gift set, made up of ten of the top
fragrances, gives women the chance to try out all the scents to help decide
which is their favorite. With original favorites of Heavenly, Bombshell, and
Noir Tease to newbies like Eau So Sexy, Fearless, and Angels Only, you really
can’t go wrong with this gift set. It comes in the cutest packaging, too. Made
to look like a long piece of candy with ribbon ties on the end, it could be
added to a gift, thrown in a gift bag, or even handed right to someone; it
makes life easier without the worry of wrapping.
Soap & Glory All
the Right Smoothes $15.00
Another body care pick from the popular UK brand, these
travel-sized body butters are perfect to separate into multiple gifts or give
the set itself to a loved one! I love body butters because they’re thicker than
lotions and keep my hands moisturized longer. This set contains The Righteous Butter Body Butter, Sugar Crush Body Buttercream, and Butter Yourself Super Rich Body Cream. I
have the full size of the Sugar Crush Body Buttercream and I love it. It is a
bit sweet but light at the same time; the smell of limes in this body
buttercream reminds me of summer.
Benefit Goodies a
Go-go Eye Kit $25.00
Called the Sweet & Seductive eye kit, the products are
housed in what may be the cutest packaging on a gift set ever. It’s complete
with the super popular They’re Real!
Mascara deluxe sample, longwear powder shadows in Call my Buff, Thanks a Latte,
Gilty Pleasure, and Kiss me, I’m Tipsy, and the Stay Don’t Stray eye primer deluxe
sample. This gift set is perfect for anyone from a best friend, mother, or any
family member no matter how little she may know about makeup. This set is very
neutral but could be built up for a more dramatic eye look with other products.
The packaging can even save you some time, just tie some ribbon around it, slap
on a gift tag and you’re ready to go(-go)!
Ciaté Haute House
Paint Pot Collection $25.00
I first laid eyes on this limited edition set on a blogger’s
site based in the UK. It first came out in the United Kingdom in the beginning
of fall and it has arrived in the States right in time for Christmas. With five
metallic or ‘rich ink’ colors to pick from, these are all perfect shades for
day or night. I’m not a huge metallic person but I love the way these look and
I think they could be quite fun for those holiday parties where everything
twinkles a little bit more.
LUSH Golden Wonder
$19.95
LUSH’s gift sets are my new favorite things at the moment
and they are to die for. You’re able to buy these gift sets already wrapped up
in fun festive paper and sealed with a ribbon. They’re perfect for on the go or
if you’re the person who hates wrapping presents. This set is perfect for people
who don’t own anything from LUSH or who are die-hard fans. Inside the gold
package are the limited edition Celebrate
lotion, gold FUN multi-purpose bath
soap, and the Golden Wonder Bath
Bomb. The lotion is a new addition to my must-have list from LUSH and you can’t
go wrong at all with a signature bath bomb, too. I really do love this set and
it is a perfect $20 gift.
LUSH Festive Cheer
$16.95
This one ranks as one of the most festive products. It
literally smells like a winter dream. Underneath the orange and red Christmas
tree and ornament wrapping lays the Hot
Toddy body wash, which only comes out for the holidays. I am in love with
this body wash at the moment, it has a special blend of spices that fills your
nose and leaves skin feeling fresh after the shower. It’s also a very fun
sparkly red color too. Along with the body wash comes a bar of soap that’s
super festive too. The Yog Nog soap,
a holiday exclusive too, is specially made with eggnog and soy yogurt to really
cleanse skin richly. I’m not an egg nog lover by any means but this soap is
very intriguing to me, especially since it has a dusting of cocoa powder and
nutmeg on top too.
So now you’ve read my picks and hopefully one sticks out for
you to gift or even pick up for yourself! Gift cards are also always a great
go-to if you don’t have time to buy something. An ornament or a mini perfume
from Victoria’s Secret is a great, inexpensive add-on possibility as well. The
holidays are now in full swing at my home and I’ve got my list for people I
still need to buy for. Keep an eye out for my $30.00 and up post following this
one!
