    Single Desi:  8 Fun Ideas for Christmas Gifts

    It is that time of year again:  Christmas and New Year are around the corner.  Everyone is busy with decorations, trees, hot chocolate, wreaths, presents, New Year’s Eve parties, Toys for Tots,  and other holiday must-dos. The holiday season brings so much warmth and laughter.  Gifts are so much fun to give and get.  Here are The Desi Single’s top five gift ideas for making it a huggable, memorable holiday season.

    1. Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis: What do Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna, Candace Cameron Bure and Kim Kardashian have in common?  That is right, you guessed it!  The Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis DVD set.  Metamorphosis is a workout designed for your body.  Whoever you purchase this for will thank you!

    2. Ganesh Necklace – Ganesh, the removal of obstacles.  We all want to keep our loved ones safe right?  What better way to say I love you than by getting a trendy Ganesh to hang around your loved one’s neck.

    3. Chocolates – Chocolates remind me of Christmas, holiday parties, joy, love and anything associated with feeling good!

    4. Living Social Escapes Voucher– Living social has excellent deals on escapes.  They have great hotel packages on places like the Bahamas, Mexico, Jamaica, Belize and other fabulous places.  They also have bed and breakfast deals as well as deals in Hotels such as New York and Washington.  I mean who doesn’t love a really great vacation?

    5. Leopard print scarf – Animal print is in this season.  It seems as if everyone has a leopard print somewhere on their attire.  A leopard print scarf is the right accessory to give that wild feeling.

     

    6. Cashmere set + short set: Red enve lope contains loungewear that is good to possess.  Who doesn’t enjoy lounging around the house in comfortable clothing?

    7. Fragrance – Fragrance is always a favorite accessory.  Who doesn’t enjoy a spritz of your favorite scent?

    8. A puppy – I love puppies!  My favorite dog breeds are Shih Tzu, Pomeranian and Maltese.  These dogs can make anyone’s heart melt.

    No matter what you decide to get your loved ones for Christmas, always remember that it is the thought that counts!

    xoxo
