Hello Gorgeous!
So we are a week away from December! This is my favorite time of the year. Not just because it is my birthday month but because it's Christmas time! And no, I don't love Christmas for the sheer fact of presents (although that is a plus). I absolutely love the spirit, the kindness, and the decor around me. I like to call my mom and I Christmas Crazies!! We both love to decorate and shop for others.
Have you every heard of an Advent Calendar? Of course you have! It is those calendars that you pop a chocolate out each day until December 25th. It is very popular in the UK! To make it a little more fun I have gathered 5 Advent Calendars for the Fashionista's and Beauty Lovers out there. It is a great holiday gift to your boss, your best friend, or your daughter! Okay let's get started ...
#1 Starbucks Advent Calendar - $29.95 www.Starbucks.com
If you know me you know my love for Starbucks! This is a perfect gift idea with chocolate covered grahams and even a $5 gift card! The best part is the tins are reusable on the magnetic chalk board that hangs perfectly. You can use this as a monthly calendar all year round or a to do list.
#2 Benefit Cosmetics Advent Calendar - $99.00 www.Ulta.com
What I LOVE about this Advent is that Benefit has included their best selling products in this calendar. Any beauty lover would be obsessed with this. You receive 24 deluxe sample sized products including, POREfessional primer, They're Real Mascara, and Highbeam Liquid Highlighter. The only downside is this year they included a few hair ties and a doodle pad. Last years was ALL samples and much more worth it! But still a great gift idea.
#3 Yankee Candle Advent - $24.99 www.Yankeecandle.com
Who doesn't love Yankee Candle? It is always a top gift for family members on my Christmas list. This advent calendar is awesome because each day you get a tea light that you can light. Scents can include some of my favorite Holiday scents, White Christmas, Balsam & Cedar, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Cookie. This is perfect for a someone who loves to make their home smell like Christmas cheer!
#4 The Body Shop Advent www.thebodyshop-usa.com
This is perfect for those dry December days. The Body Shop has very emollient body creams that smell amazing! It includes, Vitamin E body cream, Strawberry Lip Butter, Almond hand and nail cream, and nail polish.
#5 Ciate Nail Polish Advent $60.00 www.Sephora.com
For the mani/pedi lover this set is perfect! It is packed with daily nail treats. This selection of high-pigment, pro formula nail polishes features an array of shades and textures for over 145 different nail looks. It houses mini paint pots, glitter sprinkles, caviar pearls, cute nail transfers, and a full-size paint pot treat in a special, limited-edition shade—each hidden behind a daily window. I love this nail set!
Happy Gift Giving and buy one of these adorable Advent Calendars for yourself! I know I am giving my supervisor the Starbucks advent and my mom the Yankee Candle set!
Cheers to me getting over this terrible cold and the most wonderful time of the year!!!!!!
