Scrooge...is That You?

I am not quite sure what it is about the holiday season that makes me want to buy gifts...for myself! There are just too many good deals out there, and after a year of trying to limit my spending, the splurge is very tempting. In years past, I would say I averaged about one gift for myself for every three gifts I bought for someone else. This year I have my eye out for bargains as well as unique gifts. Here are some of my favorite sites.

• http://www.uncommongoods.com/ This "outside the box" site offers very unique gifts. I buy something from them every year.


• http://www.refinery29.com/holiday-gift-guide-2010---cheap-holiday-gifts.php Check out their suggested 50 great gifts for under $100. I really love the headphones!


• http://www.ardenb.com/ I love the deals on this site. Cashmere is currently on sale, and they offer "unreal deals." You can buy a sweater for a friend/relative and then get one for yourself at 50% off. This will eliminate some of that holiday "shopping for me" guilt. I heart the Michael Antonio gold glitter pumps for $34.00! Any shoes under $40 should be allowed for purchase, right?!


• http://www.bodyc.com/ They remind me of a knock off/more provocative VS. The website is constantly being updated, and they have amazing prices.

We at LBD would love to hear your tips for gift giving as well as your favorite websites. Happy Shopping!

With Love From the West Coast,
