Christmas Wishing

I received an email this morning about a celebrities  cheap  jeans.... they cost $228 and were ripped all to hell. *I replied to this email with "Bitch please!"* May be cheap to some, but not to me. 

With that being said I wanted to provide my suggestions of affordable Christmas wishes.... depending on your budget my items may not work for you either, but i'm sure you can find an option at another store that suits what you are looking for. 

I have been on a very tight budget and have not been able to purchase a lot of items that I an lusting over so... these are some (under $100 each) trendy products that I would love for Christmas this year and someone you love/like/deal with may appreciate as well.

I have been wanting an olive green jacket and this is perfect. You can find different versions at just about any store you want. This is from Forever21 Plus $44.99.

These West Blvd combat style boots are $22.99 on Amazon which makes them uber affordable. Most people already have them i'm just behind





J'adore L'or $89.07 on Fragrance.net. This smells like super sexy magic. Just go to Macy's and try it. Its a very warm scent that lingers...OH... so DAMN sexy! (Yeah I just had a moment) This is a good gift all on its own. If you can't afford full sized fragrances find roller balls  (ULTA or Sephora) and put together a small gift basket or bag with other goodies.



Ok these Asos Curve Diagonal Opaque Tights ($14.52) are super cute. Styled with shorts, flat boots, grungy top, and fem jewelry. Gives Me Life. This gift is kinda specific, don't get something like this unless you really know the persons style. You can find tights in different designs and colors, I just think the black is chic and multifaceted.To gift this add in a cute top, an infinity scarf, or a nice necklace set.

I love nail polish. I rarely (2-3 times yearly) go get my nails professionally done. With that being said I have accumulated a lot of nail polish and have no plans to stop, NONE! This set is $55 and can be split into different gifts. Just put two or three in a cute container with a mini remover, cotton balls and a decent top and base coat and you have a solid gift for a nail polish lover. Check YouTube for presentation ideas. You can also find higher-end polishes (think Orly and Essie) at Marshalls, TJMaxx, and Ross for exceptional prices.






I can't begin to explain to you the obsession I have with HEMPZ Sugar Lemon Squares. Lurve it!!! Obsessed!!! Ok, it smells like baked lemon squares and wears off so your other perfumes and scents can shine through. While the scent does not linger the moisture this lotion gives you definitely does. I normally find this at TJMaxx or Marshalls for $9-$13 depending on whether its an 8.5oz. or the  18.6oz. size, it can also be found on Amazon.com (cost more on Amazon though). It's amazing. They come in many other scents so find the one you/the person you are gifting it too personally like best. Gift this with gloves or bake a tray of actual Lemon Squares to give with it (unless you can't bake then spare everyone and go with the gloves).





Other gift ideas and tips:
1: For the jewelry lover try www.shoplately.com they have awesome jewelry at some great prices.
2: For shopping online check Ebates for cash back (they have an app) opportunities.
3: To get discount codes and in-store coupons check www.Retailmenot.com or download the app.
4: Stores like Marshalls, Ross, TJMaxx, and Target have economical and trendy options.
5: Don't overspend... real friends know if you can't afford an expensive gift (or any gift at all) and will be ok with that, if they are not... find new friends cause the ones you have suck major balls.

I hope you enjoyed my list... I know some of the items are not super cheap but I hope my suggestions help you this holiday season.
