The Easy Gift Giving Solution

Although I don’t like to admit it… from time to time, even I get stressed out by shopping.

(Yes, you are actually on Listen to Lena. No, do not adjust your computer monitor.)

The thing is, I have a certifiable problem – a medical anomaly, in fact – called prezzieselectophobia. It’s the fear of choosing the wrong holiday gift for someone. Sadly, treatment is currently not covered by any drug plans, but I do plan on lobbying the government for support. In the meantime, I employ coping techniques, such as accepting help from others who know a thing or two about holiday gifting.

This year, I’m taking advantage of GIFTS MADE EASY by Shoppers Drug Mart.
Shoppers Drug Mart has an abundance of inspiring gift ideas for everyone on your “nice list”, and this holiday season, shopping is even easier with their online gift finder that allows you to filter hundreds of gift ideas by price, categories, or the type of person you are shopping for.

(My inner prezzieselectophobic is at peace.) 

And with so many fabulous fragrances, gorgeous gifts, delectable treats, and latest toys and electronics, it’s so easy to find the perfect gift… there’s no need to panic!

So, what makes the cut? Well, you know I have some Luxurious Ladies and Beauty Lovers to shop for, so I am loving these gifting options:
Clockwise, from top: Eye Studio Mascara Sampler; Quo by Orly 18 piece Mini Polish Set; Quo Beauty Boudoir; Calvin Klein Reveal Gift Set; One Direction You & I Gift Set; EOS Rachel Roy Lip Balms.

The Eye Studio Mascara Sampler and Quo by Orly 18 piece Mini Nail Polish Set are the perfect “pamper me” gifts, because what gal doesn’t love to receive pint-sized pretty things? And hey – don’t knock the One Direction fragrance set until you’ve tried it – I’m quite captivated with the scent.

(Tween girls everywhere are nodding their heads.)

In addition to these girly gifts, you can also find presents for the Modern Man; everything he needs from fragrance to grooming essentials, such as the Gillette ProGlide Holiday Pack. Or, for The Entertainer on your holiday shopping list, find the right sweets for friends, co-workers or for that holiday party you have been planning.

And hey, if you’re popping into your local Shoppers Drug Mart this season, the stores will have exciting in-store sales, promotions and exclusive holiday gifts sets available from November 12 to December 25.

(Don’t forget you can earn Shoppers Optimum Points on almost every purchase, and most stores are open late!)

They also have the following Holiday Gift guide launches:

– “Give Beauty, beautyBOUTIQUE by Shoppers Drug Mart” – available now
– “Get Set for the Happiest Holidays!” – November 15th
– Keep an eye out for 3 additional gift guides/beauty books available in late Nov/ Dec
