Christmas Shopping on ebay
I enjoy the holidays so much that I consider them their own season. From cozy Christmas decor and holiday tunes, mountain getaways, hot coconut milk cocoa, family gatherings, and warm fireplaces accompanying a night at home, it doesn't get much better. Oh! And mapping out the perfect gifts for the nearest and dearest in my life is one of my all-time favorite activities. This is a bit embarrassing to admit, but I start my Christmas gifts' list on my phone starting in August. I take note of what people say they love or want, so when the present purchasing comes about, it is easy as pie. It also gives me brain space to think of more creative gifts in addition to the necessities!
I prefer ordering my presents online to avoid crazy Los Angeles foot traffic at the shopping centers and because our families live in Texas and Florida! eBay has become my favorite online shopping playground because they have the most options at the best price, and their inclusivity and celebration of diversity sets them apart from other online retail destinations. The have everything from headphones (I need a replacement this year!), kitchen mixers, and drones. It makes shopping so easy and accessible. Cheers to eliminating stress during the happiest time of the year!
What my shopping bag looks like now:I love buying my sister or my bestie a pretty dress suitable for layering in the chilly seasonThe most lovely essential oils to diffuse in your home for a cozy evening + to fight against winter sickness is a perfect gift.Can we talk about this candle for a moment? It is toxin free and smells like heaven.The bucket bag is everything. I own it in black and want to buy one in every color.I have been in full on nostalgia mode, so this might be a gift for myself. :)You guys know my love for toxin-free beauty, so this makeup set is the greatest stocking stuffer.Oh! And this red lipstick is a go-to for holiday festivities![show_shopthepost_widget id="2898315"]
