MEN!! Good Christmas Gifts! Start thinking ahead!

OK, I know a lot of guys read this blog, and I'm here to help you.  It's nearly the end of October (believe it or not!) and Christmas is right around the corner.  I don't want you to get the woman in your life (be it your mother, sister or significant other) one of those last minute gifts.  And guys, I've seen you at at the mall carrying that pink and white Victoria's Secret bag, or running through the department store on Christmas Eve.  So lets think ahead this year and get something good! 

And guys, these are EASY gifts that require very little thought AND are practically guaranteed to go over well.  And now, all of these ideas are NOT mine, but they are all good.  And boys, if you want to get me any of these, feel free!  Your favorite blogger is always needing gifts!

1.  Wantful (https://wantful.com/)
Wantful makes gift giving super easy!  The website gives you options for what the event is and how much you want to spend.  Then it takes you through a series of questions to determine what is the best gift for your beloved.  Then, here is the best part.... after you answer the questions (varying from what would be the gift receivers favorite activity or place to live), and then Wantful gives you a choice of 100 gifts.  Wait, it gets better.  You chose 16 of these 100 gifts and then Wantful prints up a little gift book that she (or he) can pick from!  You can't go wrong!  So I went through their questions creating a holiday gift for myself (of course, I'm here to give you ideas!), with a total cost of $50.  The choices they gave me were varied and awesome!  I would love to get many of them. 

2.  Club W (http://clubw.com)
Club W is one of those .... of the month clubs.  But it's not a bad one!  Club W is a club for people who like wine.  Each month, Club W delivers 3 (good!) bottles of wine for $39 a month (with free shipping!).  And these aren't everyday wines, they are chosen from great wineries all over the world.  Each month you can chose 3 of the 12 bottles chosen by the site.  And if you know nothing about wine (like me!) the people on the site can help chose a wine based on your tastes!  And the best part, if you don't like one of your selections - let the site know and they will send you a replacement or a refund!

3.  Birchbox (https://www.birchbox.com/)
Women love trying stuff out, we LOVE samples.  Why do you think that all the cosmetic counters hand out samples?!?  So, this great website called Birchbox is a great gift option.  Each month Birchbox sends a box full of high end beauty or lifestyle samples.  And as one of those... of the month gifts it's a great gift that keeps on giving.  And if your woman loves one of the samples in your Birchbox, the website gives you the option to buy the full product.  And at $10 a month it's pretty inexpensive!  You can chose to gift for 3, 6 or 12 months.  And now Birchbox isn't just for women, they have a men's box option now as well!



4.  Julibox (http://www.julibox.com/)
Cocktails are all the range.  Bars are now concocting all kinds of fun cocktails but at outrageous prices! The new website Julibox is here to help you.  Each month the site will send you all the supplies you need to make 2 servings of 2 different drinks! For a total of four cocktails.  You get all the booze and supplies!  Shortly before you get your monthly Julibox the website will send you an emailing giving you the fresh (lemons, limes, etc) supplies you need to get so you are ready to make your drinks as soon as you get your shipment.  And like Birchbox, the site stock full sized supplies of all that it sends you so if you decide you are in LOVE with a cocktail you can order everything you need!  Each box costs $45 for a single box or $40 for members.  Not cheap, but it's worth a try!
