The Little Last-Minute Gift Guide

 

Originally posted in The Fashion Scoop

In the middle of all the rushing and fretting and trying to get it all done, I often need to take a little break to remember what this season is really all about: the presents. Okay fine, we all know that the gifts don't really matter - that it's the time spent with our family and friends that means everything. Yet, there really is nothing better than finding the perfect things for the ones you love.

If you're like me, you may have yet to even think about the stockings and all the random gifts you still need to pick up - from bus drivers to hairdressers to second cousins twice removed. So, I've rounded up the most fun toys, gifts and gadgets, all under $25 to help you check off your list, too.  The big day's less than 2 weeks away. Hope you're enjoying every single moment of the madness. #TGIF

Okay, so you don't have the bodyguard or the private plane or the second home in St. Tropez. Yet when it comes to shopping, most celebs like to shop just like us. They see something, they like it, they buy it. Since I love to see A-listers wearing things I can actually afford, I've rounded up my favourite celebrity musts, just in time for the holidays. Luckily, you can head to the mall without an entourage, screaming fans and the Twitterverse exploding that they just saw you at Gap. Sometimes it's actually pretty nice being normal, don't you think?

Whether you're in last-minute shopping mode or just want to pick yourself up a little something as a proverbial pat on the back, I've rounded up celeb favs to add to your list this year. From Beyonce's favourite wellies to Gwyneth's Canadian clutch, these star-approved finds will shine bright under any tree...

With under a month left until the big day, we've all got presents and wrapping and parties on our minds. The holiday season is my absolute favourite time of the year and while I'm pretty stoked about a few of the things on my wishlist that I hope (fingers crossed) will find their way under the tree this year, I'm actually more excited about the gifts I'll be giving. My mom might be reading this blog post (thanks mom xo) so I won't spoil the surprise but let's just say that I was so excited about her gift that it's already bought, wrapped and labelled. And if you know me, you'll know that I am SO not that organized.

Giving is the best, especially when you find that perfect thing for somebody you love. To help, I've rounded up some of my favourite gifts right now, from the Maharaja Chai Oolong tea from Teavana that happens to be one of Oprah's Favourite Things this year, to the brand new XBox One gaming system that my husband really really wants (sorry, not happening), to some of the coolest new tech gadgets and toys out there this year. Happy shopping! Hope you find everything you're looking for (and more)...
