Holiday Gift Guide: $400-500

As we get closer and closer towards Christmas, I can feel the stress of shoppers settling in. My office is right next to a mall, so my lunch breaks are dedicated to window shopping. It affords me the time to deal stalk and make sure that I'm getting the best prices for my Christmas gifts. I thought that I was doing pretty well by getting almost 80% of my presents in November, but come one week before Christmas and I realized that I'm still a couple presents short. A couple is exact. I need two.

What do you get someone who has everything? In short I'm going to be practical. Something that everybody needs but always hates getting, gas cards. Trust me, as tacky as it sounds, the people who I've given them to seem to always be overjoyed. But if you don't want to get tack like me, here are some more last minute gift ideas that you can pick up to please the gifted in your life!

1. iPad Mini 3 (Apple) | $439
   Get that blogger/tech saavy friend of yours the latest iPad so that they can continously stay in touch with what's happening online at any time.
2. KENZO Tiger Embroidered Cotton Sweatshirt Dress (Net-A-Porter) | $410.00
   I love the sporty elegance of a KENZO sweatshirt and when lengthened into a dress, it an easily be translated into chic winterwear with a nice pair of leather leggings. I imagine myself styling this with a cap and Cambridge Satchel to complete the look.
3. Tory Burch Robinson Adjustable Mini Bag (Shopbop) | $440.76
   It's always nice to receive something that you can use immediately. Give someone this perfectly sized bag that's big enough to carry their accessories to their NYE party this year.
4. Tory Burch Sutton Pump (Shopbop) | $452.84
   These heels ooze femininity. With lace side-panelling and caged straps, the satin cap-toe  finish make these both elegant and sexiness.
5. Mercury Bar Cart (Anthropologie) | $498.00
   There's nothing worse than curating the perfect liquor collection and not being able to show it off. This simplistic bar car gives enough room to display all the necessary bottles for a party as well as space for cups and shakers.
