LAST MINUTE STOCKING STUFFER IDEAS FOR HIM

Since I posted up stocking stuffer ideas for her, it is only fair that I write up a posting on stocking stuffer ideas for him. Hopefully this super last minute posting will still be able to provide some ideas  to the few of you who may just be wrapping up with your Christmas shopping.

1. Beanie (Urban Outfitters) | $15.00
    It's winter time! What's a better time than this time of the year to purchase beanies in 
    general? Having a variety of beanies doesn't hurt especially if the he that you are buying 
    it for is into fashion as well!


2. Google Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player (Best Buy) | $29.99
    With this you can just simply plug this into your HDTV and enjoy YouTube, Netflix, etc by 
    just using your mobile device, tablet, or laptop. This works with Android, iOS, Chrome for 
    Mac and Chrome for Windows and connects to your wifi. It's small and convenient to use. 

3. Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme (Sephora) | $30.00
    This has been one of the more popular scents that men has been wearing these recent years and
    I have to agree, it definitely is a good scent. It is fresh, masculine, yet not overpowering. If you are
    looking to buy the original size of this cologne this gift set would be the perfect alternative. 

4. Whisky Stones (Chapters) | $24.99
    These whisky stones are flavourless and will do just the job that ice is supposed to do without

    watering down the drink. Plus they are reusable! I would say this is a great by for those who
    enjoys their whisky! 

5. Wood Bead Bracelet (Urban Outfitters) | $24.00
    I have noticed that these wooden bead bracelets have been popular in the recent years in mens 

    fashion. I like how the beads are not in a too light of a brown colour, yet they are not too dark that
    you cannot tell whether it is brown or black. I also like how the red gives it that pop. Overall, I think
    this bracelet would be an easy match to most outfits. It is definitely a great stocking stuffer item
    especially for men who are into fashion.

6. Slim Wool Knit Burgundy Tie (Frank & Oak) | $46.00

    This Skinny wool knit tie is fashionable and has that stylish texture effect to it from the flecks and
    slubs that it is made with. The burgundy and the material is just perfect for this season! This 
    would be a great easy match to a simple white, black or grey button up. 
 
7. Philips Norelco Beard Trimmer (Amazon) | $41.99
    Maybe he does not have an electronic shaver? Or maybe he needs a new one? Which ever reason

    it may be, most men do need a shaver. And this beard trimmer would be a great gift to help him 
    maintain his fresh, clean and polished look.  

8. Halo: The Master Chief Collection (Amazon) | $46.99
    Let's just say, majority of guys do enjoy video games, even if it is just once in a while. This Halo 
    consists of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 4.Since Halo is a popular 
    game and this specific one just came out last month, I thought I'd just throw the idea in here!

LAST MINUTE STOCKING STUFFER IDEAS FOR HER

Stocking stuffer is one of my favourite things to do during Christmas time. I mean who does not like receiving more than one present? And what's better than seeing smiles on your close friends' and families' faces?

Anyways, hopefully most of you have already completed your Christmas shopping. If not and if you are still trying to look for some last minute Christmas gift ideas for the ladies, then hopefully my last minute stocking stuffer list will be able to provide you with some gift ideas at a reasonable price range.




1. Metallic 360 Studs (Bauble Bar) | $28.00

    Pearl necklances, bracelets and rings have been popular fashionable pieces
     this year. And this pair of pearl studs would be a great piece to complete the
     collection. Even if there are no previous pearl collections, this piece would 
     still be a classy and elegant addition to a girl's jewelry box.

2. Urban Decay - Naked 2 Basics (Sephora) | $34.00
    This... in my opinion is definitely one of my favourite travel size eye makeup palette of all 
    time. It has all the basic neutral colours needed for any basic day to day make up and 
    even enough to pull off a smokey eye effect. - practicality wise, why not?

3. Macaron Box (Urban Outfitters) | $10.00
    Most girls like macarons and even if they don't always enjoy eating them, they probably 
    still like the look of them! (myself being one hah) - so why not get one or a few of these 
    macaron boxes for their room decor?

4. Christmas Knee Socks (H&M) | $14.95
    Christmas socks are always cute and fun to have during this time of year, 
    especially if there's an ugly Christmas sweater event, this would definitely complete the 
    look! Plus, who would mind having an extra pair of wool socks to keep your feet warm in 
    this freezing cold weather (if you live in a cold climate like myself here in Toronto).

5. Marc Jacobs Daisy Rollerball (Sephora) | $30.00
    One of my favourite scents that has been around the recent years. It has a sweet, fruity 
    and flowery scent and because the scent is so light, it makes it easy to wear. This 
    rollerball is small and convenient to bring around. For those who are looking to purchase 
    non-stocking stuffer gifts and would like to purchase this in full size, this would be a 
    great gift set to buy!

6. Gold Cursive Momogram Mug (Chapters) | Originally $12.00, now $6.00
    Tis' the season for eggnogs and hot chocolates, so why not enjoy these yummy drinks in 
    a pretty cup? These cups are currently 50% off at Chapters/Indigo, hurry and get them 
    before your "letter" runs out!

7. Crystal Necklace (Zara) | $39.90
    This stunning statement necklace will come in handy and spice up most neutral tone 
    outfits especially on those little black dresses! 

8. Classy Sheffield (Daniel Wellington) | $199.00
    DW watches are simple and sleek. This particular one is rose gold and has Swarovski 
    stones added onto the face of the watch making it look more elegant and pretty.    
    Definitely makes a beautiful gift!

LONG OVERDUE

So, it's officially about a year since I have published a post a my blog. My apologies, no excuses. I will definitely need to make this more of a consistent thing in 2015!

Speaking of which I have recently been loving this bronze-ish gold crop top and thought it can be a great piece to wear for any upcoming Christmas or New Year's Eve parties/dinners/events!

Here, I am playing with gold-ish tones as an anchor pairing with a black midi skirt for simplicity with a finishing touch of a bright pink lipstick for that pop of colour to the outfit.
