Sure, my family is from Trinidad... but they all found their way to New York and so now that I live outside of New York I have found myself with a dilemma when it's time to travel "home" for the holidays. I have little cousins that I want to bring gifts to but driving to New York has become a bit costly over the years so I prefer to take a bus. Taking the bus is awesome on my wallet but hard on my shoulders because I have to pack all gifts on my back instead of in the trunk of my car that I don't want to drive home. So how do I solve this dilemma? I shop small. I have too large of a family to purchase the type of items that I would like to so I opt for less expensive items instead that are still cool. Here are a few that I like for this year:
Personalize a Disney story with this cool book. You can choose the child's gender and name and the story will print with the applicable information. Best part? It's not going to break the bank. You can even personalize a message in the front of the book to tell your little loved one just how happy you want their holiday to be. Check it out!
If you're shopping for someone a bit older, you may want to venture into the land of tees. They fold up really well, aren't too expensive and everyone wears them. I chose this tee because I am a fan of the Nightmare Before Christmas and I don't know anyone who is familiar with the film who wouldn't be up for wearing this fun tshirt. The Skellington Sweater is only a tee shirt but it mocks the look of a creepy sweater. As far as reviews go, many would have preferred a long sleeved version of the tshirt. However, at $12USD, it may not be the greatest hit but I dont think it qualifies as a miss either. If you want to do something for a romantic interest, cologne or perfume may be the best direction to go. It's easy to pack in a bag and so long as you're not flying you can carry as many ounces of the stuff as you please. I found this site called allbeauty.com that has all sorts of fragrance favorites from Euphoria by Calvin Klein to Man by Jimmy Choo. All fragrances are at really low prices so you can afford to purchase more than a couple and knock out several gifts at once.
If all else fails, try eBay.I know, I know... eBay? But eBay has plenty of items at affordable prices. The best part is you don't have to place bids, many of them you can just purchase if you're interested without the hassle of watching the site to see if you're outbid. So if there is an expensive item, you can often order it for less. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
Do you have any holiday tips? Anything we can purchase that won't weigh us down while traveling for the holidays? Feel free to share with the rest of the kinky crew!
