2011 Holiday List

Since it's the holidays and I just put up this site (again) I figured I should do a holiday themed post. I've been wanting to do a holiday list of gifts that are awesome and maybe they are suitable for some of the people in your lives. ^_^
I know how many of you leave the shopping for last minute! I am guilty of this as well, don't worry we are human after all.

So here goes:

A really hot item right now for the ladies is this lipstick duet by Mac Cosmetics. In the Ice Parade holiday collection, the Viva Glam Melt Your Heart Lip Bag, an exclusive red snow globe bag with two shades of Lady Gaga VG Lipsticks!
OH MY! These two colors flatter many shades of skin. I really feel like these two colors can work for almost anybody. Two lipsticks and a cute little pouch for $36! You absolutely cannot go wrong! Take a look!


For the MEN.... I have to say that I am in love with these shawl collared sweaters I am seeing in stores a lot this season. These sweaters flatter all ages in my opinion and they can be found in many stores! I absolutely love this one by H&M from the holiday collection, and for $14.95, this is an amazing deal!! Now the only thing with this is you must check your local store for availability and I am assuming most stores will be sold out because it is a gorgeous sweater. Bummer. 



An essential item I feel like every woman should own is a simple tote bag. I love the tote style because it can work for any woman. A business woman with paper work, a college girl on the go, for travel, and even for a day or evening out on the town. A tote is not huge but it fits like your whole life in it. -_- No seriously it does! Lol
Add this to your holiday list for any woman in your life and see how much they will love it! One of my favorites is the Longchamp Le Pliage Tote pictured here in black in the large size and it can be found in many department stores.
Have a few extra bucks to spend go all out on this tote by Michael Kors and play it classic. The black leather tote is my personal favorite but it comes in many more colors and under $200 bucks.
The Marc Jacobs, which I love too, is a steal at $74.99 but maybe it's on sale. Check it out here and fall in lust!


Sometimes it's really hard to get something for the men in our lives. It's like... what the heck do they like? right? Right, so I think like an awesome gift is a watch. I mean of course this could be for a woman too but his gift item post is dedicated to the men. I really like the high end stuff, I mean who doesn't right? But lets be serious not all of us can afford that stuff! I stumbled upon a brand of watches that have very clever designs and some come off as "the high end stuff" with a not so high end price. Invicta Watches are beautiful! Now don't get me wrong there are some watches that will cost you and arm and a leg but not all. Check out the site and also check out Amazon.com for awesome sales on this brand as well.
 


If you have like a reallyyyy reallyyyyyy reallyyyy special somebody, then I've got the gift for you to give or possibly receive. I emphasized the "really" because this one is on the expensive side. The MacBook Pro! This thing is like gorgeous! I just feel like this is an awesome gift for like anybody! The MacBook pro starts at around $1,199.00 and goes up from there. I know someone deserves this.




Since we are on the electronics topic.... that reminds me: A CAMERA! Who wouldn't love a new camera all shiny and pictury taking! I mean seriously even I want a new one even though I don't need one, but that's besides the point. There are so many of them on the market and the competition is up there but here are a few I found interesting and gift worthy.
This one  by GE is so cute and fits in your pocket and even better its waterproof! Not to mention what awesome price!
The Sony Cyber-Shot is like too too cute for its own good! Available in four great colors and my favorite is the pink of course!
Last but not least this one is not high end or anything but I feel like it's good for a younger person, maybe a teen or pre-teen. It shoots video and for $39.99 you absolutely can't go wrong! Check it out here or Google it for an even cheaper price! For the win!!!



Let us not forget the little ones in our lives. You may have a niece or nephew, a little cousin or little ones of your own and let me start by saying that there are so many neat toys out there and it really can be a challenge to choose one or two. My tip would be to always play it safe and start off with something age appropriate. Here are three of my favorite ideas for the little ones. The "Let's Rock Elmo" is so adorable and interactive, the little ones will love this and it comes in at a great price.

The inner child in me wants this next toy for myself. I cannot help myself it is adorable. This might work for both girls and boys as well, although some may disagree with me and say this is a girl toy. The "FurReal Friends Puppy-Cookie My Playful Pup" comes in at around $45 and WOW what an amazing prize for this life-like puppy. Great for those who cannot have a real dog but want one.... maybe this can be a temporary solution.

Last but not least in this kid category... a play tent!!!! Who doesn't want one of these? I mean like come on think back when you were younger and made huts out of chairs and blankets and like anything you could find. Yeahhh! Ahhh those were the good old days! :) Well yeah the modern day blankets and chairs has become an awesome gift idea for the kid full of imagination! There are many to choose from and the prices vary widely so I suggest work with your budget. With this one you don't have to spend a lot and it's suitable for both boy's and girls. There are so many to choose from and some are even under $20.... How can you go wrong? Now please note I have only used Toysrus.com but there are many other places these toys can be found.


The list goes on but I don't want to make this post obnoxious, so below I put together a small list of miscellaneous things that I find gift worthy!!! Happy Holidays to all and Happy Giving!




That's all folks! Hope the list helps and keep in mind that although these are links to websites, all of these products can be purchased in stores near you!!!!
