THE COUNSELLE'S - LAST MINUTE GIFT GUIDE - HOLIDAY 2022

sooo Christmas, Kwanzaa + Hanukkah are all less than 3 weeks away and if y’all are anything like me, you’re still not done gift shopping 🫠

as the [self proclaimed] queen of procrastination nation, i’ve come up with a couple of last minute gifts that won’t break the bank + that everyone on your list will love! let’s get into it!

1. a fresh pair of uptowns [air force 1’s] — i’m from NYC + we call the air force 1’s “uptowns”. anywho, they’re a wardrobe + shoe staple for every him, her, or them! you can dress them up, or dress them down!
   you can snag a pair here.

2. candles — you can never go wrong with a candle + since it’s the holiday season, there are a bunch of mini candle sets you can grab, like this; or you can grab one in the scent of their favorite cologne/perfume, like this; or you can grab one of #thelineup from the counselle collection™ [shameless plug lol].

3. a gift card — if they’re a coffee addict, get them a starbucks or dunkin’🥴 gift card. if they’re one of those picky ass, hard to shop for people, get them a gift card to a store that has a little bit of everything at various price points, like bloomingdales, nordstrom, sephora, ulta, or hell, even homegoods!

4. a toy — if you’re last minute shopping for a kid, the toy part is easy. just head to tj maxx, macys, amazon, etc. and pick the loudest or most colorful one lol. butttttttt if you’re looking for a toy to gift an adult, try this one, this one, or this one — thank me later😏

5. if all else fails, cash is always a simple gift! they can use it to pay a bill, get their hair/nails done, or just buy something they’ve been eyeing for a while but just haven’t made the jump yet. don’t just hand the recipient the money though lol, at least get a card or write them a note! just cash is just effortless — ion like that and i’m sure the person you’re gifting doesn’t either🙃

hope this helps some of y’all procrastinators + i hope [no matter what, if anything, you celebrate] y’all have a great holiday season! eat, drink, be merry + all that good sh*t, but most importantly, spend lots of time with the people you love🫶🏾.

xo, elle
