SUBSCRIPTIONS AS GIFTS
I absolutely love subscriptions! It’s like getting a free gift in the mail every single month
Birchbox – $10 a month
Birchbox is the OG giftbox. It’s a sampler box that arrives every month filled with about five beauty different products. I’ve been subscribing for about a year and I’ve gone on to buy full sized versions of many products I love. It’s awesome because you get a sampling of expensive skincare products that you can try out for a month. Included are lip balms, dry shampoos, pore minimizers, sunscreens, all kinds of stuff. Get her a six month subscription!
Ipsy – $10 a month
Ipsy is more of a makeup focused giftbox, created by a collection of Youtube beauty stars. Also included in every month’s subscription is a brand new makeup bag.
Shoedazzle – $40 a month
A few of my favorite Shoedazzle shoes that I own
Shoedazzle is the perfect gift for every shoe obsessed fashionista in your life. A VIP membership is just $40 a month (most shoes are priced at about $40) and shoes are approx 50% off with the first purchase. There are also very frequent sales heavily discounted sales. The shoes are very on trend and very high quality, worth more than $40. Another perk is that Gwen Stefani designs a great line just for Shoedazzle

The Complete Gillian Flynn Collection: Gone Girl, Dark Places,
Sharp Objects – $25.80
You’ve taken your girl to see the movie Gone Girl by David Fincher right? It was my favorite movie of the year, dark and clever. I read Flynn’s Gone Girl book in one sitting, it was SO addictive and I did the same with her other two earlier novels. All her books are dark but imaginative and different, reading them in a row they didnt get the slightest bit stale. Can’t wait for her to come out with a new novel!

Gyaru Chained Play Set – $75
Urban Decay Naked- $79.99
I received the Naked 2 set in different shades of brown several years ago. I only apply eyeshadow when going out, so this palette will probably last me for another five years! I don’t need any other eyeshadows at all, this set covers every brown shade that I need. Still a classic!

Kitten – $100
If I didn’t already have Kitty and Mr. Cat (Renaissance Man’s cat) I would absolutely love to get a little baby kitten for Christmas!

HEY BIG SPENDER!

My band Nylon Pink played at the Hard Rock in Penang Malaysia and it was a dream vacation staying there. If Thailand is not your top choice, there is a huge selection of destinations to choose from

2015 Lexus NX – $39,000 at the Lexus Dealership
I absolutely love Lexus’ new crossover NX, a smaller, sportier version of the RX. I am totally loyal to the Lexus brand, I drove my last RX to the ground, over 180K miles and it probably would’ve lasted me another ten years. Poor little car, it held up over the countless dings and car crashes that I subjected it to (I am the stereotypical Asian female driver)
