The crunch is on, ladies. Christmas day arrives in T minus 9! Get excited about Santa’s arrival. I’m certain your stockings are all hung on the chimney with care. But you might still be wondering what to stuff inside the stockings. Or maybe there’s one more person on your list that still needs a gift. If that’s the case Amazon to the rescue! I’ve been getting my home a little smarter the past few years, and I bet you have too. A Google Nest Thermostat helps you stay energy efficient. I have one and love it. On my wish list is an iRobot Roomba that will keep me on top of pet hair in the basement. And I recently installed a Ring Video Doorbell that I can answer from anywhere. And I think an Outdoor Movie Projector would add lots of summertime fun. Air Fryers are quite popular. Sous Vide Cookers has 25 recipes built-in, and if you haven’t jumped on the Instant Pot bandwagon, you’re missing out.
Last Minute Gift Ideas from Amazon
A few of my favorite skincare brands are also available on Amazon. O.P.I. is celebrating the holidays with a 2021 Gift CollectionBurt’s Bees Holiday Gift is a great stocking stuffer. Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is one of my all-stars. Yesterday, I shared a post featuring ITCosmetics that carries everything from an award-winning moisturizer Confidence in a Cream to their CC+ Cream, a full coverage foundation that can’t be beaten. Phillips Beauty Satin Shaver is great for travel. And Morracanoil has a Hydration Holiday Kit that can easily be thrown into a suitcase. Can you tell I have travel on my mind? Yep, I’m headed on a mini-vacation on Dec. 26 for a little R&R. This girl is pooped!
Let’s not forget the men in your life with Nivea Deep Cleansing Beard and Face Wash, Harry’s Shaving Cream, or a Philips Norelco Shaver. Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Canceling Earbuds are perfect for the traveler on your list. And for the life of the party, an Electric Wine Bottle Opener is a must. A Portable Bose Speaker can head outdoors easily, and Cards Against Humanity has a Family Edition and a Kid’s Edition; this game is F.U.N. to play, so don’t miss out.

Happy Shopping!
I really like the little animals and little books tucked into the tree. Itโs a beautiful tree. I wanted to do a singing Christmas tree with little choir ornaments but waited too long. Maybe next year.
I wrap my gifts in brown paper and tie with the pretty strings. I found a pretty white with gold metal strings that make it easy to tie. Itโs all beautiful and ready to give.
Great stuff in this post Beth. Thanks so much.
Happy Holidays and travels! I can see why you would be exhausted. You work hard lady! It is appreciated.
I always look forward to what you’ll post next.
Always love your fashion and it was nice getting a glimpse of your holiday decor. Beautiful!
I love the way you did this plaid ribbon down the length of the tree. How wide is the ribbon you used. I have done the ribbon weaved through the tree before, but this looks easier and fresh.
