It is that gift giving time of year again, and I thought I would share with you some items that I think would make a great gift. Whether for you, a friend, coworker or loved one these gifts make great gifts if you ask me. I bought many of these myself and would love to receive any of them as a gift.

Gifts for Fragrance Lovers:

If you have a fragrance lover in your life these are the gifts for them.

Yardley English Rose Eau De Toilette / $18.99*

When it comes to fragrances, I love this one. Yardley's English Rose is a light and wonderfully simple rose scent that I just truly love. Every single time I wear it my husband tells me how great I smell. There just truly is something classically perfects about this rose scent. 

I think this makes a great gift for anyone you know who loves fragrances and roses. They also make a Lily of the Valley and a Lavender version, both of which I also really enjoy, but the rose is by far my favourite and as such it makes a great stocking stuffer.

Mary Kay Women’s Fragrance Gift Set / $39.00*

Mary Kay makes a some great fragrances, but picking just one can be a bit hard. This little set has three Mary Kay eau de parfumes in miniature 7.5 ml spray versions. It makes a great gift for someone you just don't know what type of fragrance that they like or someone who likes to play with scent. I personally am giving this to my one Mother In Law.

What you get:
- Dream Fearlessly -- Chypre Floral fragrance
- Love Fearlessly -- Amber Floral fragrance
- Live Fearlessly -- Floral Woody Musk fragrance

Mary Kay Men’s Fragrance Gift Set / $39.00*

If you have a man in your life, or just like men's fragrances yourself this set if perfect for you. Similar to the woman's version, this one has cologne sprays.  I personally adore the scent MK High Intensity, I will spray this around my bedroom just because I love the scent so much.

What you get:
- Cityscape Cologne Spray
- MK High Intensity Cologne Spray
- MK High Intensity Sport Cologne Spray

Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Jet Set / $33.00

looking to gift something fun and tropical? This might be the kit for you to give. It features three Sol De Janerio's '62 scent products in miniature versions. 

I picked myself up this travel set in November because I wanted to tryout the brand I had heard so much about. 

What you get:
- 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
- 3 oz/ 90 mL Brazilian 4 Play Shower Cream-Gel
- 1.01 oz/ 30 mL Brazilian Crush Body Fragrance Mist
- Travel case

Bath and Body Gifts:

If you are like me, you may like baths. I honestly could not live without them, so that is why I love bath time gifts so darn much.

Mary Kay Citrus Rose Satin Hands Pampering Set / $51.00*

Mary Kay's Satin Hands Pampering Set is a cult classic. I have loved this for decades, and while they make it all year round in the White Tea version and in unscented, right now there is a limited edition Citrus Rose version that is very nice indeed. 

You get the classic three step set, unscented Protecting Softener, Citrus Rose Satin Smooth Refining Shea Scrub and Citrus Rose Nourishing Shea Cream in a gift bag.

The Citrus Rose scent is light and floral, really quite pleasant and I hope they make it a permeant item.

Dr. Teal's Melatonin Canister Gift Set / $9.99

Dr. Teal's Melatonin products have been heavy rotation of mine since this past spring, so when I saw this cute set for just $9.99 I had to grab it. I personally love this line and think gifts like this are a real affordable way to try out a bunch of products from a brand. I also really like that it comes with a tub to store a full sized version of their salt soaks in. 

The Melatonin is supposed to help relax you before bed, but the scent of Lavender and Chamomile is what really does it for me.

What you get:
- Dr Teal’s Melatonin Sleep Soak / 396 g
- Dr Teal’s Foaming Bath / 118 ml
- Dr Teal’s Ultra-Moisturizing Body Wash / 118 ml

- Bath Pouf
- Reusable container fits a full size 3lb bag of Dr Teal's Epsom Salt Soaking Solution

Dr Teals Relax & Relief with Eucalyptus + Spearmint 5-Piece Bath Travel gift Set / $9.99

I still love other Dr. Teal's scents, so I also picked myself up the Relax set. This one features Eucalyptus and Spearmint, which is great for cold weather. Also it is a great steal at about $10

What you get:
- Dr Teal’s Relax & Relief Epsom salt/ 396 g (14 oz.)

Bathorium Crush Bath Soaks / $8.99*

Bathorium is a Canadian brand that is on a mission to make baths a fabulous experience for everyone. With that their Crush Bath Soaks I feel are a fantastic gift option for anyone on your list.

Their Crush Bath Soaks are each designed to do different things to help your body and that is why I think they will make the best gifts for your loved ones. They can also be made into a foot bath!
Bathorium Northern Sage Recovery Rejuvenating Bath Soak - it makes your body tingle! It also has eucalyptus to help clear your sinus and has BC Blue Glacial Clay.
Bathorium CRUSH Eucalyptus Apothecary Rejuvenating BathSoak - Eucalyptus for congestion, Pink Clay and Aloe Vera for sensitive skin and Tea Tree oil for muscle tissue
Bathorium CRUSHCharcoal Garden Detoxifying Bath Soak - Charcoal, Coconut Milk, Sweet Basil and Lavender, overall it is supposed to 'detox' the skin, but I love how it helps relax me so well.
Bathorium CRUSH Sea Kelp Serenity Relaxing Bath Soak - Kelp and Shea Butter to hydrate the skin, Sea Salt to relax muscles.

You can pick them up alone or together in a holiday set. I really like the concept of these soaks and how they are so concentrated in ingredients.

The Body Shop Fragranced Bath Bubble / $3.00

For some stocking stuffers I picked up some Bath Bubble bars from The Body Shop. At $3 a pop they are easy to pop into any stocking or add onto a gift. With Pink Grapefruit, Coconut and Moringa, they are fun and make bath time better. I also picked up their bath bomb in Strawberry.

Me! Bath Unicorn Magic Bath Bomb / $5.99*

Me! Bath makes great Bath Bombs, I reviewed this one before and I think they make great stocking stuffer. I mean it is a bath bomb after all!

WR Watkins Lavender Hand Cream / $9.99*

Hand lotion? In the winter? Who doesn't need that? I know I do. WR Watkins Lavender Hand Cream smells great and does a great job of fixing dried hands in the cold weather. With Shea and Cocoa Butter and 10 natural oils and extracts this is the gift to give to anyone who works with their hands, walks a dog a lot or even just exists in this cold Canadian weather.

Skin Care Gifts:

Skin care gifts are great gifts, so let's start talking about them.

Mary Kay Rose Quartz Facial Roller with TimeWise Replenishing Serum C E / $67.00*

Right now if you buy Mary Kays TimeWise Replenishing Serum C E you get a free Rose Quartz facial roller and a bag for it. This is a fantastic serum that I adore so getting a bonus is always a great thing and a great gift to give (or keep).

Mary Kay MKMen Skin Saver Set / $65.00*

My man is 100% still clueless in skin care, but that doesn't mean other are or have to be. This is a cute little kit that contains a pouch, MKMen Advanced Eye Cream and MKMEN Advanced Facial Hydrator Sunscreen SPF 30. 

My man has been working outside at a security gate for the last few months and I keep on telling him to wear a lotion with some SPF and he doesn't. So he is getting this kit for Christmas and I will sleep better know that he will be using it.  All joking aside (BTW not at all joking about this), this is a fantastic kit to give any man out there.

Real Techniques Everyday Essentials / $29.99*

Real Techniques constantly makes the best brushes at an affordable price out there, which is why their Everyday Essentials brush set is on my list this year.

There are 4 shades in here and each one is 8 g in size.

Saje Room Spray Kit / $40.00

Getting the right at home scent down is easy with this kit of 4 fragrance sprays from Saje. I picked this set up because I love mint and this has their Peppermint Twist in it (I also have the fragrance oil). This set also has 3 other festive scents to help set the mood in your home. You can buy Peppermint Twist on its own, but the other three sprays are exclusive to this kit.

The Comfy Dream Original Blanket Sweatshirt / $59.99*

I received one of these Comfy Dreams in the spring and instantly fell in love. It is a massive fleece hoodie that goes down to my knees. It is warm, comfy, loose and overall just the best thing to wear in the house. I loved wearing it to the drive-in all spring and fall long where it kept me warm and snuggly. Now that it is the winter I am wearing it in the basement while I snuggle up with a hot coco. 

I love mine and wear it constantly.

Michel Design Works Boxed Candle / $28.00

Nothing sets the mood better than a great candle. I absolutely adore peppermint, this Michel Design Works candle smells absolutely amazing even when not burning it. It has peppermint, hints of spearmint and vanilla and eucalyptus. Made of 100% soy wax it has burn time of over 45 hours. You can pick it up in plenty of other scents, but I truly adore this one.

Those are my top picks for gifts this year. I hope there are a few things that you like and may consider getting for a loved one or yourself.

If you are still out searching for the perfect holiday gift, some stocking stuffers or even something just to spoil yourself with as the season hits high gear? Well, I have you covered. I've got a bunch of items that are both budget friendly and easy to find at drug stores. grocery stores and mass retailers.

Yardley London Eau De Toilette / English Rose / English Lavender /Lily Of The Valley / 50 ml  / $18.99

Yardley has been been around for 250 years and holds two royal warrants, making it both legendary and timeless. I personally adore their body care lines and their scents. English Rose has been all time favourite of mine for quite some time and I always get compliments about when I wear it. This holiday season giving a bottle of one of their classic scents may make the perfect gift. 

With three absolutely timeless options, English Lavender, English Rose, and Lily of the Valley, there is one to suit just about everyone.  

Yardley London Soap / English Rose / English Lavender /Lily Of The Valley / 120g / $2.00

If you're looking for that perfect under $5 stocking stuffer, Yardley's soap may be the right gift. Who among us doesn't need more soap? We are all washing our hands non-stop and they actually work great for the body too. With the same rich scents as the perfumes these soaps accompany them very nicely.

I have the English Lavender here and it makes for a relaxing night time shower or bath soap. That being said the English Rose and Lilly of the Valley are equally as nice and for $2 they won't break the bank while filling a stocking up nicely.

Real Techniques Artist Essentials Brush Set / $29.99

Real Techniques Sparkle On The Go Brush Set / $14.98

This brush set is perfect for any makeup lover in your life. At around $15 it makes a great gift or stocking stuffer.

You get three brushes in silver with mini handles, so it is great for travel, the gym, washrooms, desks with limited space, just about anywhere. It also comes with a limited edition purple Miracle complexation sponge. The brushes included are 406 Mini Medium Sculpting Brush, 407 Mini Multitask Brush, and 200 Mini Expert Face Brush.

Dr. Teal's Set / Relax & Relief / $9.97

Dr. Teal's is a staple in my house, I always have at least one of their salts and bubble baths in my house at all times. I love a relaxing bath and that is exactly what they deliver. 

I picked up this set because their Relax and Relief line has been a favourite of mine and I really liked the look of this set. The Relax & Relief line features Eucalyptus and Spearmint.

You get 5 pieces in this gift set, 396 g Epsom Salt Soak, 88 mL Foaming Bath, 88 mL Body Wash, 30 mL Body Oil, and 28 g Body Lotion. Overall it is a great way to try out and get a little bit of everything from the line.

Christmas is almost here, but if you are anything like me you probably still have some gifts to buy. Today I am going to talk about some great stocking stuffers or value gifts you can easily find and pick up.

All these items are from FarleyCo, a great Candian distributor of beauty products, they can be found on their site but also many great stores like Rexall, London Drugs, Walmart and others. Check out FarleyCo.ca to find out where each brand is sold.

Flexitol Very Dry Skin Cream ($12.99):

Dry skin is all around this time of year, and I think I can fairly state that everyone would appreciate a little bit of extra skin cream in their lives.

I personally wash dogs for a living and then dry them, my skin gets dry and chapt and well frankly bleeds. One thing my skin cannot handle is fragrance this time of year or added water, which is why Flexitol's Very Dry Skin Cream is so great.

It is thick and a little goes a long long way, all the while being made for very sensitive skin that is reactive. It has 12.5 Urea in it, which is known to aid those with extremely dry skin. Safe for those with Eczema, Psoriasis, Dermatitis and just winter itchy skin this stuff is amazing I highly recommend trying it out. Oh, it also isn't greasy.

EcoTools Start the Day Beautifully Kit ($18.99):

With an eco outlook to their brand, EcoTools is one of the best brush lines out there. They always have great sets and kits that make for great gifts. This year their STart the Day Beautifully Kit caught my eye.

With 5 brushes (angled foundation, blurring, defined crease, angled liner, full blush brush) it has everything you need for your whole beauty look as well as a great tray to store them in and look cards to help you create the perfect look.

I think this set is the perfect gift for anyone who just doesn't' know where to start with makeup and brushes or a teenager. I remember getting my first brush set from my mom when I was 16 for Christmas and it started a love affair that has never ended. At $18.99 it makes a great stocking stuffer too.

7th Heaven Masks ($1.99+):
I love a good face mask, and I can almost be certain that your loved ones do too. 7th Heaven makes fantastic masks in pouches that mean you can pick up one or a few for everyone whos stocking you need to fill. They are easy, fun (I mean look at that packaging) and they are great quality. Since they are individually wrapped, they never dry out, get oxidized or get contaminated by our fingers, making, plus you can try out a who bunch of different one at a very low without committing to a large container, all at reasonable price point.

I have the Pink Guava Peel-Off one here, but I have in the past I have used their mud sheet masks and even foot ones. My hubby always loves a good peel-off mask, so this one is a great one to toss into his stocking this year.

Mesmoreyes Full 3D Lashes ($6.99):
Real Techniques Mini Brushes ($8.99):
I love REal tEchniques, this should be no surprise to you. I have so many of their brushes, sponges and sets, all of which I love. Their Miracle Sponge is my ride or die sponge, you will be prying that from my dead hands one day. That being said RT has some great mini brushes for the holidays. I have the Mini Medium Sculpting Brush here and it is adorable.

So it is tiny, which automatically makes it adorable, but it is also just as good as the full-sized versions. There also is an Expert Mini Face and Mini Multitask Brush. Pop one of these into a stocking and I am sure you are going to hear an AWWW because it is so darn cute.

So there you have it, some fun beauty stocking stuffer ideas. I personally would love to get any of them in my stocking this year.

*These products were sent to me to review from FarleyCo. All views and opinions are my own.

This is a miniature version of Conair's Hot Ionic Straightening Brush, which I absolutely adore. A mini version (or they make a mini straightening iron and drier too) is the perfect gift for that person who travels, goes to the gym, or just has short hair. I personally had my hairdresser take my hair much shorter than normal ("oops I took it too short" are words you never want to hear from your hairdresser), so I am loving this mini version.
