Holiday Gifting Ideas

It can be really a challenging ordeal to get the best yet cost effective gifts for your friends and family during this holiday season. December is the time of year that I spend and splurge not only for myself but for my family and friends as well. December also happens to be my anniversary month and I love getting my man double gifts to amp up the “Decemberness” of my life.

When you are shopping for gifts and having a really tight budget, always pick gifts that are meaningful for whom ever you are gifting. Nothing is considered cheap when it comes from your heart and is really meaningful to the recipient.  As for me my gift range is as low as RM 5 and could reach up to RM300 tops.

So, as I am busy preparing for the gift exchange sessions, I thought of sharing with you guys some of the gifts that I have bought so far and am still accumulating. Let’s start off with the cute gift:

I love this little bottle, it is suitable for both male or female. The cozy sleeve comes in 4 colors and design. Got this from Ceria 99 which is at the ground floor of Mega Mall Penang. I picked a gender neutral color so that I can gift it to anyone of my friends or family members.

The next gift is for all you bling junkies out there, I got this beauties at an accessory shop in Bukit Jambul Complex Penang. They were on sale – 3 for RM 10.00 it was a sweet deal, "glamed" it up in a cute jewelry box that I already had at home. 

I always buy makeup as Christmas gifts for me, myself and I and for everyone I am gifting. I really believe that makeup is one weapon every person should have, wear and carry along at all times. You may never know when a lip balm or the bright siren red lipstick may come in handy. So I got these 6 lovely lipsticks from Wet and Wild; 5 of them were only RM 12.90 each the 6^th one is RM 20.00. Got them at SaSa. Haven’t packed them yet.

The second batch of lipsticks that I got is my very own gift to myself the NYX Matte Lipsticks. I just fell in love with these babies the moment I saw them at Sephora, they were RM 55.00 for a box of 3 gorgeous lipsticks.

Last but not least I have 2 more gifts to show you guys, the first one is from Watsons a lovely box full of hand cream. They come in a good and descent size that you can give them as a set or individually. The best part is they were supper inexpensive 2 boxes for RM 30.00. I'm not kidding....

No I am not kidding, I ended up getting 2 sets. tested all of them they smell amazing. The first one and the third one is very subtle/mild. My fav is the middle one it smell so yummy - Palm Tree Vanilla.

This is a yearly staple, I always get face products for my mom and aunts every year. Mary Kay has become my family's fav and it is safe to say that there is no turning back or second thoughts when it comes to repurchasing these babies....they range from RM 75.00 - RM 79.00 in price. Is worth every cent.

So my loves, do check these cools goodies up, they are pretty affordable and meaningful. Gifting should always begin from the heart and is not what you give is important is the thought that matters the most. Stay happy and shop smartly.
