Holiday Gift Ideas

Hectic schedule and saving seem to discord especially when it comes to thoughtful presents for family and friends. I'm always a big list maker who plans shopping months in advance. It's not only about saving but also perfect gifts that my loved ones would enjoy. So each time I spot something cute I stock it up. Here are a few items I have in mind. I thought you might find it helpful to compose your own gift list. Plus Sephora VIB 20% Off conveniently starts next week from 11/10-14. I have yet to receive my VIB invitation so please stop by Temptalia for details.
