Gifts that won't break your bank



There are still just under three weeks left until Christmas is here, and may I say that I feel beyond broke! So I thought, I should share with you gals six gift that can be absolutely fantastic without breaking the bank.



Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue. I think it is my most favorite fragrance, and I have not met a woman who hasn't like it yet. Most stores have a really good package deal on it. I just saw it at Macy's for a great price. Depending on the size, I would say you can find a great gift anywhere from $45 to $80.
Doesn't this etsy apron just scream classy? I know I will be in a better mood when I cook, and my food will taste better if I wear it! Ok, so maybe I went too far with the food, but I just fell in love with it! You can find it for $29 here.
Almost every year I find one of those in my stockings, and let me tell you, it puts a HUGE grin on my face. There are soo many Starbucks addicts out there, and a Starbucks gift card can be a great gift for someone that will remember you every time they pay with it for their drink. I know I do!
GODIVA chocolates! Need I say more? They had me at the first bite into the creamy raspberry filling. I love the dark chocolate raspberry ones, but they have a great variety out there for all kinds of chocolate lovers. Their $65 Chocolate Delights Christmas Gift Basket could make a delicious gift for a loved one... or even for yourself....

This man's music melts my heart! He's got such a soothing voice and I can listen to him no matter what mood I'm in. This CD is definitely on my Christmas list this year, and I know lots of others adore his music just as much as I do. You can find it in almost any store or on amazon for only $12.99.
It's time to relax! This eucalyptus and spearmint gift basket from Bath and Body has everything a gal needs but the wine bottle (for you wine lovers out there) for a calm and relaxing afternoon. It includes a cooling eye mask to soothe tired eyes, body lotion, body wash and foam bath. Gift basket -$30; calm, and relaxing afternoon- priceless.

I hope those helped give you ladies some ideas. I would love to hear if you have found some great deals out there, too. Merry Christmas, and Happy shopping!

Oh, December how I love thee...


Oh, December, you make my heart skip with joy, and give my stomach butterflies. Yes, I'm afraid that every time you come around, I feel like a teenage girl who is about to get her first kiss...
While you cover the roofs and mountains with snow, and freeze everything that stands in your way, my heart melts with all the cheer, peace, and laughter that this atmosphere creates....

....Oh, December, how I love thee for all the presents you put under my Christmas tree, and for the chance that you give me to do the same for my loved ones...
I love you December for being the one month that honors me with your "Happy Birthday" wishes each year,
...for giving me an excuse to hang out for hours with my old pals Mickey and Donald...
... and for bringing the Peppermint Starbucks mocha around again, that will be joyfully sipped while under warm, cozy blankets, listening to timeless Christmas music, and watching unforgettable Christmas classics.
... but most importantly December, I love you for the time you allow me to spend with all my loved ones ....
Oh, December, you are soo loved...
