I can't begin to explain how much I love this time of year. The fact that I've been doing a countdown for Christmas on my phone since May is evidence enough. it's like there's something different in the air, people are warmer, everything is lit up to perfection and I get to spend time with the people I love the most. I think it means more to me now because growing up I didn't get the chance to do the whole Christmas thing so now I'm taking advantage of it as much as I can.If there's something I want to clarify though it's that Christmas isn't about the presents, the lights, and the trees. All of that is great, don't get me wrong, but the real reason to celebrate is Jesus! This month makes me even more aware that I have someone who loves me and gave up his own life to set me free and that to me is the biggest present I could receive!

If you're on a tighter budget these are some great gift ideas that won't break the bank. A lot of these gifts are great as stocking stuffers and indulging your friends and family with higher end brands without the sky-high price tag! As a nail polish lover I'd love to try out some higher end brands like the Dolce & Gabanna lacquer I included and the minimergency kit is great for busy women on the go who need to have essentials for any situation they may face! 

More gift guides will be on the way soon :)
