For Everyone on Your List

There's that magical time of year where regardless of how cold it is you can walk the streets for hours mesmerized by the lights and decorations. You eat and drink all those delicious and devious goodies that keep popping up at all the parties without a care to the potential consequences for your midsection and hips. And of course, a certain plant finally gives you the opportunity or excuse to kiss the crush you've been secretly lusting for. As a child this particular time was filled with enchantment and bewitching moments reminiscent of Harry Potter's beloved Diagon Alley and Three Broomsticks pub. School lessons were replaced with parties, plays and recitals. Nights were spent dreaming of Santa's workshop and the hardworking elves. And by far my favorite activity was writing my yearly letter to Santa. In this hand written note I would put forth my compelling argument for why I should be considered a good girl this year then nicely provide my gift wish list and close with my deepest regards to Mrs. Claus and the reindeer. One year I even got a letter back from the North Pole! As a nine year old my brain was overloaded...Santa wrote me back! My hats off to my indulgent parents who nourished the imagination of their child. A couple of years later while I was trying to sort through the existential question, "Santa- to be or not be?" I tested the waters and announced "If Santa doesn't get me a Nintendo I will know that he is not real!" Sure enough I got the Nintendo and Santa kept fighting the good fight. So this year Santa (errr Sephora?) has put together some lavish gift sets for every person on your holiday list. Jam packed with essential goodies, these sets are priced over 50% cheaper than their value and all cost less than $40!...bountiful and wallet friendly.
