- If you have Amazon Prime, enjoy that free Prime shipping!
- Do your holiday shopping early to save stress and extra fees for rush shipping as deadlines get closer.

I can personally attest to most of these gifts, including this Juicy Lip set I use and love. And I gifted this knife to my bestie after she used it while at my house; I know a knife might be a weird gift but if someone in your life loves to cook they’ll appreciate having a wonderful knife like this one.
If Santa is listening, I’d love this famous Always Pan since I’ve been cooking so much lately. Also I ordered myself this stylish band for my Apple watch and truthfully I don’t want to wait until Christmas to use it!
