Personalized Christmas gifts

Written by Jackie Onderko. Posted in Accessories, Shoes, Trends

Hello terrified holiday shoppers!  We all have that one fashionista on our gift list who is impossible to shop for.  Whether they seem to already have everything, or are just way too picky, these personalized, unique gifts will be sure to get some good attention.

Accessories are always a girl’s best friend, so there is nothing more personalized than a name necklace.  These are all the craze at the moment and they, surprisingly, look amazing with almost any outfit.  The necklace comes in silver, gold, or various colors, and it is subtle enough to give a glamorous touch to an outfit.  My favorites are carried by the website www.mynamenecklace.com.

The neat thing about this website is that there are so many different options.  Instead of just choosing the color, you can choose different fonts and sizes, as well as little graphics that can be added.  Swarovski crystals are even an option.  There is no going wrong with a necklace like this.  Oh, and they have free shipping for Christmas delivery!

Being a fashion lover, I know I could never pass up a sweet pair of Keds.  Now, Keds is offering an AWESOME opportunity to design your own pair of sneakers!  You can do it from the convenience of your home on Keds’ website.  Not only do you get to pick the style of shoe you would like to design and the social colors, you can even add your own graphic image.

From the tongue to the insole to the lining and laces, you get to make your own custom shoe for a friend or family member!  It is so simple and extremely fun to do for a decent price.  One-of-a-kind pair of shoes like this would keep your fashion lover excited for days.

Basically, the key to keeping a stylish girl happy this holiday is to be unique.  You don’t necessarily have to get her that $2,000 Louis Vuitton handbag to keep her excited and happy.  Gifts like these will have her jumping for joy.

Holiday beauty gifts for less

Written by Jackie Onderko. Posted in Accessories, Retailers, Trends

Now that Thanksgiving is over and we are all in the Christmas mood, let the holiday shopping begin! It can always be challenging to shop for everyone on your list, so many challenges, so many personalities. Nonetheless, this week we are going to talk about the beauty lovers in our life.

To keep it simple, all the gifts I am about to mention are available at your local Sephora or at www.sephora.com. And, as an added bonus, they are all for $50 or less!

First, there is no beauty lover who can have enough neutral eye shadows. The “Urban Decay Naked Palette” was one of the most coveted beauty items on the market when it was first released, and it remains a hot item today.

It is different than most other eye shadow palettes because all the colors included are beautifully neutral and glide on with amazing ease. These colors go with every skin tone and can be used for every occasion, whether day or night looks. You can look great without looking too showy.

This next gift will certainly get the recipient in the holiday mood, and not just in their mind, but on their nails too! As Sephora normally does, they collaborated with OPI to make a Glitter and Sparkle full size nail color holiday set.

These alluring four colors are full glitter that will do nothing less than make a statement.

Lastly, my personal favorite is known as the “Deluxe Fragrance Sampler For Her”.

This is definitely one of the neatest gift ideas I have seen.  Inside the box are a set of 12 different fragrance samples, a refillable fragrance atomizer, and a voucher to receive one of those 12 samples as a full size bottle for free!  The gift is perfect not just for any beauty lover, but any girl who loves to smell divine. Usually people shy away from picking out perfume as a gift because everyone has a unique aroma preference; however, I doubt you can really go wrong between the 12 different options.

Now that all the beauty lovers on your list are taken care of, next week I will suggest gifts for all those fashion lovers who are always hard to shop for!
