Tuesday Ten: Last Minute Gifts & Stocking Stuffers
You've made a list, checked it twice, bought everything on it, except you just realized you're still desperate for a few extra gifts and of course, stocking stuffers! Each year my mother has been known to forget stocking stuffers until the eleventh hour. And understandably so. It's easy to lose sight of such details when you're in the midst of the crazed holiday milieu. Needless to say, I've rounded up 10 great gift ideas, which are perfect for anything or anyone that may pop up at the last minute...
1. Good Luck Mini Emergency Kit
2. J.Crew Satin Jewelry Roll
3. Obaz Hot Pink Mace Defense Spray (Perfect for the independent woman!)
4. Lush Gingerman Bath Bomb
5. LC Lauren Conrad Crystal Bobby Pin Set
6. Knock Knock Baking Notes Notepad (They have different versions of these notepads at almost every Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie... there are shopping lists, to do pads, etc.)
7. J.Crew Passport Holder (The luggage tags are cute too!)
8. L'Occitane Vanilla Flower Hand Cream
9. Gift cards are always great gifts! (Click here to learn how to make a Gift Card Snow Globe as seen below.)
10. Bucky Balls (These are great for guys or gals. And they are truly addicting. I've seen them at Brookstone, Urban Outfitters and even Aaah's.)
If all else fails, candles are excellent last minute gifts (and nice stocking stuffers too). Click here to learn about my favorite candles and why they are perfect when you're in a pinch.
What's your go-to last minute gift?

those bobby pins are gorgeous, I need to buy those for myself! I love the idea for the gift card snow globe. sometimes gift cards can seem impersonal, the snow globe will make it feel like it's a little more from the heart.

Love those ideas! I gave my friend mace last year that looked like a tube of lipstick. Nothing better than knowing your friend is safer!
This year I'll be giving away mason jars of that hot chocolate recipe you posted. It's absolutely DELICIOUS! My body is probably going to go through withdrawals after it's gone. Everyone should give that recipe a whirl!

My go to gift is a Scrabble frame. I take a favorite picture and make it black and white. Then I get a $5 frame from Target. I then pick a saying. Something like:
y
LOVE
u
And glue them to the picture. Stick it in the frame and you have a great picture to give to anyone! {Like you mom and Dad}

These are great! I've got some bucky balls and while I never would have purchased them myself, they made for a fun gift to receive! I play with those things all the time!
