With that said there are 2 things on my agenda this evening. The first would be what to wear to all your social events this season, and the next is what to buy for everyone on your list! I know there's only a week left to shop, but don't lie- I know you're not finished yet!
First things 1st, what to wear? Here are my favorite picks for various functions:
^a fun flirty number covered enough for that office Christmas party $69.50 at lanebryant.com
^This is the perfect dress to wear on a date to see The Nutcracker or an opera. The sleeves are sexy, but will also keep you warm! $168 at igigi.com
^This one would be great if you're hosting a house party or are attending one. Wanna warm it up? Add tights and a cute sweater. $39 at AshleyStewart.com
So we've solved dilemna number 1, what to wear to the event. Now you've gotta bring along the perfect gift. Fear not! I have some brilliant ideas for all the people in your life :)
^I love this one for my Mom, its the perfect way to combine her love of a good cocktail with her love of a long bubble bath. Either way, she'll be nice and relaxed :)$30 at Sephora
^for Dad a gift that will be sure to keep him cooking throughout the season. However, Mom may think its just an eyesore in the backyard... Dad will still wanna give you a good fist pound though! $59.99 at the NFL shop
^This one's perfect for my brainy younger sister, she's a girl's girl through and through, but loves reading and these classic books from Penguin will look great in her room and she'll read them cover to cover! $13.60 a piece at Amazon.com
^This one's perfect for my older sister who just became a mother. It's affordable, and beautiful, and I'm sure it will mean a lot to her. $49.95 at RedEnvelope
^This craft bin would be perfect for my artsy fashion school friends at 28 bucks from Amazon
^They say the way into a man's heart is through his stomach, and my boyfriend is a pizza fanatic! He would love this- membership to a pizza of the month club where 3 delicious deep-dish Chicago style pizzas are delivered to his house each month for a year. $176.85 at Amazing Clubs
I know there's still a lot of people on your list, but hopefully this gives you some great ideas and you'll be invited back to every party this year!
But remember, don't get lost in the haze of shop shop shop! gifts gifts gifts! take a second to take a deep breath and remember that this is the only Christmas you will have this year, so make it a good one. Remember that the spirit of Christmas is not about one day sales, getting the perfect parking spot at the mall or squeezing into that too-tight party dress after eating too much turkey stuffing. No matter what holiday you celebrate, remember to give thanks and give back to the people in your life. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Blogland! :)
