If you’re lucky, you’ll know everything you want to get for everyone in your life, and you’ll know this early. Better yet, they’ll tell you exactly what they want — or give you hints at the very least. My 12 year old cousin, Toby did not give hints. He just told everyone his heart desires: Xbox One AND (not OR) an iPhone 6. These kids are becoming more and more expensive to maintain.
But sometimes, it takes creativity and deep thought to come up with the perfect gifts for the people you love, and this can cause stress. Or you can look at Yahoo! Style gift guides and sleep easy, even for last minute gifts. Yahoo! Style has 18 gift guides for several kinds of people, including but not limited to tech gifts for men, scents for your man’s manscaping (cause sometimes they need us to point them in the right direction), products for the hair obsessed — like uhm natural hair people (me, me, me!), and even gifts under $5.

Under $5 and cute
One of the Yahoo! Style gift guides I especially appreciate is the cold feet guide, filled with all kinds of socks to keep your feet warm. Igwe’s feet are perpetually cold, and I don’t know why. It’s almost as if we are not in the same room. Apart from resorting to calling him a cold-blooded animal – romantic, I know – and letting him warm his cold feet on my warm feet, I didn’t know what else to do for him — until now, that is.
And these socks are unisex!
There’s also something for just about every kind of foodie, including the kind that wants to make his/her own beer. You might have heard your loved one say how much he/she wants to make his/her own beer, but did you know you could buy a beer-making starter kit for them? Me neither!
The beer-making kit of life
I saved my favorite two (for myself) for last, and right now, I can’t even say which one I like better. I like them both. I want them both. You know I have been a proud card-carrying member of the Fragrance Junkies Committee, and I am actually very, very proud of myself for not having both any fragrances in the past months, but err, it’s Christmas, and all rules are out the door. I’m getting myself a new fragrance for Christmas! Speaking of scents, this one has been globe-trotting the internet for a while. It’s about time it finds it way to the top of my dresser, no?
This fragrance is on my to-get list
I used to be an eye shadow girl. My eyes used to be my favorite feature to highlight. And then, I met lipstick. It might be a little bit of an obsession now, but I’m okay with that. I want every shade of lipstick that there is to have. When we go to the mall, Igwe literally pulls me away from the makeup counter. What does he know anyway? Just look at this boldness of this lipstick from Smashbox? Good God.
This will look so good on me.
