 Last Minute Gifts Under $50 - Stylista Esquire - @stylistaesquire

Hey friends – the countdown to Christmas is officially on – 11 days and counting.  Is everyone’s shopping done?? Yeah…that’s what I thought.  Online shopping is my jam, especially when I need to do some last minute shopping.  But the biggest drag to online shopping during the holidays is paying for rush shipping!  How to solve that problem? Amazon Prime.  Guaranteed 2 day shipping is absolutely the best, and if you have refused to pay for an Amazon Prime account, I am here to tell you it is so worth the money.  Plus, a lot of items, including books, and beauty products, are usually cheaper on Amazon, so you save money AND time spent at the mall.  Below are some of my favorite items for your gals, your man, and some great gifts for everyone on your list.  Everything can be bought through Amazon Prime, plus they are under $50!

I think I’m still full from Thanksgiving and it’s Tuesday… We had more of a Thanksgiving weekend full of eating since we were in Nashville, so this week is cracking up to be a huge struggle.  It’s also the end of the work “year,” so just add that into the mix.  I’m working on some other posts, including a 48 hour guide to Nashville, but I thought I’d pop up a nice outfit blog post, featuring this Endless Rose Off The Shoulder Sweater that has recently been restocked in all sizes.

Lauren James Black Friday Mystery Box 2017

Lauren James Mystery Box - Stylista Esquire - @stylistaesquire

Can you all believe this week is Thanksgiving?!  The Holiday season is truly beginning and after coming back from Disney World (See my IG pics here), I am totally ready for all the festivities coming up.  B and I are traveling down to Nashville (our first time!) to meet up with his Dad.  This is the first time I won’t be at “home” for Turkey Day, since we are renting a house down in Honky Tonk Country, but I know we will make the best of it!

Since we won’t be at our home base, I can’t hit up the local Target or mall to see the craziness of Black Friday shopping.  I usually go out more for the novelty of seeing people fight over TVs.  My idea of Black Friday shopping is sitting in my PJs with some leftover pie, scouring the online sales.  Friday is our day to explore Nashville, so I am hoping to do some shopping late Thursday night!

Speaking of Black Friday deals, Lauren James, a brand I met this past Summer at TBS Con, reached out to me to preview their Black Friday “Your Day Just Got Better” Mystery Box.  I adore the preppy style of Lauren James and am so excited to share this great gift idea with you all.  The box is $40 and you don’t know what you’ll get in it, until it arrives at your door.  The total retail amount of the box is around $300, so at $40, it’s a total steal!  All you have to do is tell them your size.  Below, I’ll show you some of my favorite items from my personal box.  For reference, I got a Medium in everything.  I got a total of 7 items, including 2 outerwear pieces (shown below) and 2 great tees for lounging around.
