Christmas Gift Ideas



1.Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer ($200 and up)
  -if I was stranded on an island with one kitchen item this would be it.

2. Coach Purse ($250 and up)
  -        these purses have all the bells and whistles and last forever… when I got mine for christmas I danced with it in the living room…love, love, love, love. Guys you probably don’t understand it so I’m not going to try to explain. If you decide to buy one of these for your lady- before you go to the mall swing by the bar have one or two and then proceed with shopping. Walk up to the store or counter if you go to Dillards or Macy’s and go right for the mid-size ones. Pick the one that most reminds you of her. This is the one- Coach has already taken care of the rest of the details. Do NOT look at the price tag! Proceed to hand the nice lady your credit card and ask her politely to gift wrap it. Close your eyes and sign. Proceed back to the bar and have another drink or two. High Five everyone you meet- you just got her the most awesome christmas gift ever!

3. Scarf ($10 and up)
  -you can find these almost everywhere these days. they are super fun!




 

4. Ornaments (these are Pier 1 roughly $7)

  -pick something that reminds you of the person you are buying it for


 
5. Gift Cards
  -whoever said gift cards were not thoughtful didn’t have a crazy aunt that bought them weird stuff… there is nothing wrong with a gift card it ensures the receiver gets exactly what they want. Some of my favorites are Amazon.com… if you’re running last minute this is great you can send it to the person via email immediately and you can get everything you could ever wish for on amazon. Also if you want gift cards for restaurants go to restaurants.com they have $25 gift cards for a lot less than that sometimes- just be sure to read the fine print.




 
6. Earrings (these are Silpada $42)
  -or any jewelry really from anywhere. They have a ton of super fun costume jewelry out these days. and remember- Diamonds really ARE a girls best friend.
 

 
7. Essie Nail Polish ($8)
  -this nail polish is the best. It goes on good, last a long time and comes in super fun colors…size does matter, bangle jangle, and marshmallow- what’s not to love about that?
 
8. Calendar ($6.50)
  -what I love about this particular calendar is that its unique. I always get comments on it. Added bonus is that it fits on that weird small wall in your kitchen b/c its long and skinny. If you want ordering info let me know and I will pass it on to you.

 
9. Chia pet ($12 and up) 
  -these are fun…and they make me smile. I sorta want one for my desk at work…



 
10. Pooping Penguin ($3)
  -call me immature its fine… I still think these are silly!


 
11. Home made gifts
  -I love homemade gifts. If you need ideas check out Pinterest.com. Please be advised- that site is highly addictive. You do need an invite to join and I’d be more than happy to send you one if you need it!

 
12. Wine Charms ($8 –these are Pier 1)
  Pair these with #13. so cute!

 
13. 2 Buck Chuck ($2&some change- Trader Joes)
  -for somewhere between $2&$3 this is where its at! And for the price so much more sophisticated than Maddog 20/20.
 
14. Harry and David Pepper and Onion Relish/ Jalapeno Jelly ($6 / jar)
  -this stuff is delicious and they have recipes on the jar for amazing dips. Like we won’t allow Ms. Sarah Martin to come to a BBQ without her famous Jalepeno Jelly dip amazing. Holler if you need recipes- I’ll be happy to provide!

 
15. Scratch off tickets ($1 and up each)
  -these are fun and could make you rich…just maybe…

 
16. iPhone4/4S ($99-$400)
  -Now offered from Sprint…. If you need details let me know!! =)

 
17. Pedicure or other fun shared adventure 
  -my new favorite gift is to take the person somewhere and spend time together. A lot of times everybody is always so busy that just spending time together is the best gift of all. And you never know what kind of adventure you might have. I took my stepmom Jan for pedicures for her birthday this year. We still laugh about the crazy old oriental cougar beating up her husband in the front seat of their truck right out front. Those memories are priceless!!
