As we creep closer to Christmas, I am sure you may be needing some extra ideas for a Secret Santa, a stocking, White Elephant, or even just a smaller gift. I’ve linked lots of ideas below just to get you started. I know I will be using lots of these for my many Secret Santas and my sister’s gift. Good luck!
- I listed plenty of Sephora sale ideas in my REPORT of the week – Definitely check those out! For those that don’t know, you get 20% off your purchase until December 16th (one time deal) and 30% off Sephora Brand. The gift sets out for Christmas are already such a great deal and 20% on top of them is hard to beat!



- Real Techniques Brush Set – This set is a great deal and has all the essentials! I know some of my brushes need to go, so this is a great idea. Also, Real Techniques brushes are so high quality and their sponges are such a perfect shape for flawless foundation application.

- Wax Stick Set – For the slickback lover in your life, this comes with everything you could ever need. It’s a super inexpensive gift that will last them forever. Plus, a slickback is just a perfect hairstyle for when you can’t make your hair do anything, especially for us corporate girlies (can’t use heat everyday).

- Hair Clips – This has every color you could ever need! I love keeping these in my purse, car, desk, and switching them out for my outfit. The clip hairstyle gets your hair out of your face like a bun, but it just looks like you put in way more effort. These clips are a great size for my hair (medium thickness and a little past shoulder length) and these have great reviews!

- Headband and Wristbands – Is this goofy? Yes it is. BUT, I think its genius. There is nothing worse than having to change shirts because your wrists are wet or having to deal with stray hairs getting wet during your night routine. Plus, this with a nice robe? I will be feeling like a wealthy TikTok mom doing my skincare.

- Travel Light-Up Mirror – I love traveling with friends, but it often means you have little to no mirror space when getting ready. This mirror is a lifesaver because it takes up no space, has great light, and makes getting ready easy. Also, if you like early morning workout classes, this is a great addition for car makeup.

- Aquaphor – You can literally never go wrong with this. I love my Aquaphor.

- Face Masks – This “Let’s Get Sheet-Faced” kit is so awesome. I have received this twice and used all of them so quickly. I think sheet masks make me feel so bougie, and this brand is a Korean brand with great reviews.

- Makeup Bag – This specific bag is easily wiped down and fits so much. I think we all keep our makeup bags way too long, and sometimes you just need to start over. I love that this one because it’s clear and just looks so fancy. Also, it’s big enough to fit everything but still a good size for travel.

- Fuzzy Socks – Duh! Unpopular opinion, I sleep in socks in the winter. I feel like my feet are always cold, so this 5-pack is perfect. Also, I just feel like my fuzzy socks are always getting lost in the dryer or just getting gross from overuse so I like to buy a new pack every now and then.

- New Book – Check out my Goodreads for suggestions!

- Russell Stover’s Chocolate Santas – My absolute favorite chocolate ever! This is a hunt every year for my parents. Over the years, they have been sold in-stores less and less. I found them in Wal-Mart this year and my mom had already found them, so I guess this year is a lucky one.

- Fun Pens – I love these Papermate Flair Pens for my planner and thank you notes – they don’t bleed ever! They come in lots of different colors and packs depending on your personality or organization system. I really loved the one linked!

- Candles – I love lighting a candle, especially in the winter, to make my room more cozy. I don’t have a fireplace, so this is the next best thing to set up the cozy atmosphere for reading and Christmas movies.

- Heatless Curls Set – I have been wanting to try these for a while, and I’ve heard the Kitsch brand is the best. I just worry that I wouldn’t be able to sleep in them, but if Emilie Kiser can…

Hope you liked my ideas! If you need more ideas, check out my Christmas List article here or @styledbymckenz on LiketoKnowIt here. Stay tuned for more travel, reading, and lifestyle content coming your way!
