Last-Minute Beauty Gifts for Him and Her
Christmas is almost here! If you suddenly learn that colleagues will be stopping by for the holidays or more relatives are coming this year then you anticipated, then you will need to have some extra gifts on the side.
If you want to have something more then the generic coffee mug, fear not for I have found the best extra gifts to keep under your tree for those last-minute guests. These gifts can all be picked up at your local drugstore or ordered online.
You can get a Essential Burt’s Bees Kit for $8.49 on Amazon. Burt’s Bees is a classic go-to brand for lips balms and creams made with all-natural ingredients. This adorable set includes five travel-size creams for your body, hands, face and feet. Of course, they are all fragrant with natural soothing scents such as coconut and milk and honey. It also comes with the original Burt’s Bees beeswax lip balm.
Soap & Glory’s Pink Big Gift, which sells for $30 at Walgreens, is a fun very-pink gift. It includes a shower gel, a body scrub, a body butter, hand cream and foot cream. Give this to the woman who is a bit quirky and can appreciate the effervescent scent of the creams and shower gels along with the shower puff and headband. The creams smell very sweet and last for hours. Better yet, if you buy two this week, you can get the third for free.
The Give Winston Set, which is $30 from Harry’s, will do for just about any man who walks in the door during the holidays. It is good for your boss or brother-in-law and is a classy gift that will probably be used the very next day. The set includes one Winter Winston razor handle, one 3.4-ounce shave cream, three blade cartridges and one travel blade cover. Shipping is free. Not to mention all of Harry’s razors are made from the best materials for a reasonable price along with donating 1 percent of sales to organizations that help train people for successful professions.
Woodwick Candle Warm Woods Trilogy Medium Jar sells for $22.99 on Amazon. Although you might think a woods-scented candle is only for men, it actually has a scent that both males and females can appreciate. The trilogy has three different scents in one candle. Woodwick candles have a very potent fragrance, which make you feel like you are in a completely different environment dependening on which scent you burn. The wick burns like a fire since it is wood, and the sounds are crispy and cackling, which remind you of a fireplace. You can never go wrong with a Woodwick, especially a 3-in-1 scented, medium-sized candle, which will keep the recipient’s home smelling of a pleasant day in the woods.
