Last Minute Stocking Stuffers for Her

There is so doubt that Christmas time is the most hectic time of the year. You have to put together everyone's presents, and get stuff done before you go on break. It can sometimes be super overwhelming, and you may be trying to get everyone's gift last minute because you simply don't have much time to get gifts for people. So here I am with a last minute stocking stuffer gift guide for the people out there needing some assistance with stockings. All of these items I linked are quite small and inexpensive, and these are great ideas for stocking stuffers because they are little things that you can throw in a stocking pretty easily. Also Ya'll can you believe that there is only four more days till Christmas?! That is so insane. This year really went by fast, and it's just crazy how it's almost 2018. But enough rambling let's talk about the gifts. 

1)Anthropologie Splash Tunes Dual Wireless Speaker-Speakers are great gifts because you never know when you want to jam out to some awesome music, or listen to a podcast or video at a better volume. Speakers are so useful and great for social gatherings and entertainment in general. 

2)Loft Star & Plaid No Show Sock Set-Socks are such a great gift. I remember when I was a kid I would be mad to get socks in my stocking, but now I love getting socks. They are always what I ask for as a stocking stuffer. They are good as a practical kind of gift, and for being cozy in general. 

3)Maybelline® Lash Sensational™ Mascara-Ya'll I'm going to be real here, a girl always needs mascara. I barely refresh my mascara, I'll legit use the same one for half a year, and it's gross. Stocking up on mascara can never hurt. 

4)ShopBop Triple Tier Drop Earrings-Earrings are always a good gift because it's hard to not like earrings. I've been loving tassel earrings and drop down earrings in general. They look so good, and can spice up any outfit. 

5)Anthropologie Golden Heart Portable Charger-Guys you don't even know how useful portable chargers are. I can't even tell you how many times I have been at a track meet and then my phone is about to die. 

6)Kate Spade Take Note Medium Leatherette-Bound Notebook-Notebooks are great for planning, and for school or work. You can never go wrong with a good notebook. 

7)Urban Outfitters UO Emoji Nail Polish-Nail polish is good for girls who love to paint their nails. Nail polish is an easy gift that can can throw in a stocking pretty easily. It's also very useful for making your nails look good. 

8)Merkury Innovations Anglz Aluminum Wireless Earbuds-Wireless earbuds. They are the new future thing, and they are very useful. Me being a runner myself I want to get wireless earbuds so then I don't have to worry about the cord. They also look really cool too. 

9)DSW Kitty Scuff Slipper-Slippers are always a good gift because they are so cozy. You can get some cute ones for a good price, and you never have to worry about cold feet again.

Christmas Sales from Rose Gal


Are you guys doing your Christmas presents last minute? I know I am. This week I am going to be giving you guys some last minute gift ideas. Today I'm doing a post going on Holiday sales from Rose Gal, and on Friday I'm going to do a last minute stocking stuffer gift guide. To start off with Rose Gal, they are doing a huge 12 days of Christmas sale. You can check out the Christmas deals if you're interested. They have some really cute holiday items, and I'm super excited to share some of their cute things. 

1)Glitter Flare Sequin Cocktail Dress-This dress would be really cute for a new years dress or a simple night out dress. The sequins at the top make it look perfect for a night out, and they add a fancy element. 

2)Raglan Sleeve Double Striped Top-This top is really sporty and cute. I love the sleeves. This kind of top would be really good for a casual day out, or for going to a sports event. I love sporty tops like this, you guys just don't see me wearing sporty stuff that much because this is a fashion blog. 

3)New Ladies' Autumn Corduroy Retro Jacket-Red jackets are always good for the fall, and the holiday time because red is worn a lot in these times. This jacket would be good for a Christmas event, or as something you could throw on if you're cold.

4)Ruffled Seam Knitting Mini Dress-This dress is so cute. I've been loving pink lately. It's just such a cute color, and it can make any outfit look girly. I really want to get more pink in my wardrobe because I've been loving it a lot lately. I'm actually wearing pink pants right now while writing this haha. 

5)Ladies Rubber Sole Embroidered Star with High Heels-Oh my gosh guys when I saw these heels I fell in love!! These star heels remind me of some of the Saint Laurent fashion shows. These heels are gorgeous, and I'm totally getting them.

I hope you guys liked all the things I linked. All of these things are super cute, and they are all apart of Rose Gal's sale. I suggest you guys all do your Christmas shopping online at Rose Gal. Here is the link again to the 2017 Christmas deals. The sale is from December 14th-December 25th, so if you want any of these items you have a limited time to get them. Like guys I would for real get those heels because they are adorable. I would also like to thank Rose Gal for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own, and I look forward to showing you guys some last minute stocking stuffers on Friday. I usually don't do two gift guides, or holiday posts in one week but I had a limited time to get this post up, and I already had the stocking guide done so this week will be all about last minute gifts. But next week you guys will see some look books.






Christmas Room Tour


Hey guy's welcome back to another post in my "At Home With Sugarcoatedbears" series. Today I'll be showing you how I decorated my room for Christmas. This year I decided to go with a girly/sparkly theme. Last year I did a pretty traditional Christmas theme. You can see last years Christmas room tour here. If you look back to my room last year it looks very different from this year. This year i inherited a queen bed from my Grandma, and Grandma if you're reading this thanks so much again for the bed. I also have moved my bookcase and my side table in my closet for more space.


So in the past year my room has went through a lot of changes. I love how it all turned out. Decorating for Christmas is always so fun. It is my favorite holiday, and making my room look really cute for Christmas is always fun. Also here is an overview of my room. 


I have a magazine bin right next to my DIY nightstand. It holds all of my magazines. I get a lot of fashion magazines sent to me for free. I place them in this basket so I can read them when I want to. 


This is my DIY nightstand. It is made out of wood blocks or whatever these are called, I honestly don't know what they are called. They look really good and add a natural looking vibe to a space. 


I usually set my backpack right beside my bin because I always need my backpack for school or a track meet. I like to have my backpack where it's easy to get to so then I can get to my stuff easier. My backpack is also from Vera Bradley if you're wondering. 


I have a full length mirror on my wall so then I can see my outfit in the morning. This mirror helps out a lot because sometimes my outfit does not always look good so I can make the changes I need. Also let's just appreciate me wearing my PJ's for a moment. It was cozy and I figured that no one would care if they me in my pajamas. I love those bunny slippers by the way, they are the most comfiest things ever. 


My dresser looks quite festive with this garland. I also have a couple little Christmas trinkets on my dresser as well as some candles, and some journals that I don't write in but are just on display. If you have been following me for a while you would know that I make my own garland for Christmas by using evergreen, and pine clippings. You can see how I make it here. My garland only costs a couple dollars because all I need to buy is the ornaments, and some dollar tree garland. Pretty much you wrap dollar tree garland around where you want your garland to be, and then you add in all the clippings and ornaments to make it look like nice garland. It's pretty simple and turns out good every year. 


A few closeups of some of the stuff on my dresser


I love this oh deer print. It is so cute, and kind of funny for Christmas. 


On the other side of my bed I have another DIY nightstand. I just have a plant on here, and from time to time I place drinks on here while I work on my bed. Yes i work on my bed. It is hard to stay focused on school work and my blog work on my bed, but I make it happen. 


In the right corner of my room I have this mini beanbag that I sit on while I do my Instagram posts. I also place these two pillows on there when I'm not using the bean bag. 


On my wall I hung a merry sign that I got from the Target one dollar section, but the sign was three dollars. It is pretty good for three dollars, and makes a great decoration. 


Last but not least I have my mini Christmas tree. It's so cute and I love the way I decorated it this year. The ornaments are so cute. The gifts under the tree are for my friends, and for me. I mostly have gifts for me through. You gotta treat yourself!

That's all for this room tour. I hope you guys liked it or found inspiration from it. I'll see you guys on Tuesday with another blog post!
















Black Friday Deals: His and Her Holiday Gift Guide


Hey guy's I'm back with another blog post. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Today I'll be sharing a his and her gift guide. All of the items listed are at least 30% off or higher on black Friday special. 

Shop Items


1)Steve Madden Belted Waffle Woven Coat(40% off)
You can never go wrong with a winter coat. The colder weather is starting to kick in, and everyone could use a nice coat. I wear the same one practically everyday, but having different styles or variety can always be fun. Coats also have different kinds of heaviness, so when choosing a coat you should consider what climate you live in, and how much warmth you'll need. 

Guys Kate Spade is having some amazing sales for black friday!! I'm so excited because Kate Spade is one of my favorite designers, and this monkey keychain is so cute! Keychains are always a nice addition to add to bags to add a little bit of style to the bag, and to spice things up.

3)Tarte Golden Day Dreams Eye & Cheek Palette(50% off )
A lot of girls love makeup, and it's a really easy stocking stuffier kind of gift. I would say just know what type of makeup she wears, what colors she likes, and then decide from there what would work the best. 

4)Arianna Boots The Original Duck Boot(50% off)
Duck Boots are really good if you like hiking, and this could be a versatile kind of gift. This gift could work for men or woman, but I just put it on the woman's list because these boots I linked are woman's boots. But duck boots are really comfy, and a classic style of boots that really never go out of style, and you can get a lot of wear from them. 

5)BP. Bar Pendant Necklace(50% off)
A statement necklace can really make a big difference to an outfit especially if it's a simple top. It's just one of those staples that are in almost every woman's wardrobe, and they can really make an outfit pop. 

6)Kate Spade Nylon Cosmetic Pouch(60% off)
I feel like girls can never really have enough cosmetic pouches because usually we are crazy about our skincare, and beauty products. I personally need a new cosmetic bag because my other one got destroyed because foundation leaked all over it. So stuff happens, you never know when you need a new one haha. 

Baker Boy hats have really been in trend lately, and they are just the cutest trend. Baker boy hats look so chic, and kind of vintagy, and it can really add a cool element to an outfit. Like if you mix modern pieces with a baker boy hat it can look really sophisticated, and quite stylish. They would be a great present for the sophisticated kind of woman who enjoys going out of their comfort zone with style.

8)Max Studio Pleated Georgette Off-the-Shoulder Blouse(70% off)
So this is like a high school trend. Literally at my high school everyone wears off-the-shoulder-blouses. I have a couple myself but I only wear them in the warmer weather. This would be a good gift for a teenage girl, or someone that enjoys the look of off-the-shoulder tops. I have seen other older aged fashion bloggers wearing off-the-shoulder tops too, so maybe this is a universal trend for woman. I'm not sure but they do look pretty cute. 

9)Kenneth Cole Rose Gold-Tone Crackled Crystal Drop Earrings(70% off)
Earrings are an easy kind of present to get if you have no idea what the person wants and they have pierced ears. It's hard to go wrong with earrings unless you get ones that are super ugly, and that they will never wear. But ladies have good fashion sense, so it's hard to go wrong with a nice pair of earrings. Just think of the style that they might like, and if they are a casual dresser get them something casual. Just base the choice of earrings off of their style, and then you should be good. 

10)Vince Camuto Crossbody Satchel(70% off)
Girls love purses, let's be real. They are super cute, and they are a great gift if you want to splurge a little bit. But at this time of the year designers are marketing those prices down, so now would be the best time to buy a designer bag. A little off topic but two years ago I got a limited edition Kate Spade crossbody(it's the bow crossbody that you guy's always see in Instagram pictures, and in looks). It was a little over one hundred dollars, which actually was not bad at all for limited edition considering some people are buying one thousand dollar Gucci purses. But normally I bet it would be two times the price because Kate Spade bags don't go on sale too much for that kind of price, if anything you'd be lucky to get a purse for two hundred dollars in the non holiday season. So I highly recommend if you want to invest in a bag I would do it in the holiday season because it's at it's cheapest price. 

11)ALALA Edge Ankle Leggings(70% off)
Okay does anyone else love getting new working gear or is it just me? Literally when I get new workout gear I run on the sidewalk of the busy road that's near my house just to show off my new gear to everyone, and be like "look at these nikes!!" Even through no one cares but it's fun. But anyways if you're trying to get a gift for a woman that is athletic, you can pretty much guarantee that they will like some new workout gear. 

12)Saks Fifth Avenue Wine Not Slippers(70% off)
I thought these slippers were funny because they are perfect for someone that loves wine. But slippers in general woman like because they keep our feet warm. We get cold s easily, so it's the perfect gift if you know someone that always has to be warm, and cozy.

Shop Items


1)Champion Men's logo graphic T-shirt(50 % off)
Men always need a basic t shirt, and it's one of those wardrobe staples that every man reaches to over and over again. It's an easy thing to get a guy if he isn't picky about clothes, and wears everyday kind of things.

2)Fred Perry Kingston Leather Sneakers(59% off)
If you need some new shoes black Friday is the perfect time to get them. I actually am getting some duck boots because they were an epic deal, they are actually the same duck boots listed in the woman's gift guide above .

3)Calvin Klein Boxer Briefs Pack of 3(49% off)
Underwear is a good gift for guys just because guys always need underwear.

4)Tommy Hilfiger Emmett Canvas Backpack(59% off)
Backpacks are always good for athletic people because we always have to lug around all of our gear, so a backpack is a must for either men or woman because we need to carry stuff. Me being an athlete myself I don't know what I would do without a backpack at cross country or track meets because I need to carry a blanket for the bus, my uniform, and other clothes.

5)Gilt Wireless Box Speaker(63% off)
Speakers!!! You can't go wrong with a speaker. Whatever music you're listening to speakers can make the sound quality better, and amplify the music.

6)Polo Ralph Lauren Signature Baseball Cap(60% off)
Boys always like hats, just choose a style that they would wear and boom, you got an easy stocking stuffer.

7)Abercrombie and Fitch Serpa-Lined Hoodie(50% off)
Hoodies are good for the colder weather because they keep you warm, and they are an easy thing to throw on.

8)Giant Whoopee Cushion Pool Float(30 % off)
I threw this in there as a gag gift. I think it's always funny to throw in a gag. I loved this one.

9)Lalique Fragrances Pour Homme Lion Shower Gel Tube(60% off)
Shower gel is always one of those things you need. So hey minus well get it at Black Friday for cheaper.

10)Sunny Rebel Aspen Wayfarer Frame(61% off)
Sunglasses look really stylish and are good for bright days.

11)Berge Leather Square Buckle Belt(85 % off)
Belts are good if you always have loose pants. They are a wardrobe staple for both men and woman, and are quite useful.

12)Hue Roll Top Socks(72% off)
I hate when I get holes in my socks guys. But I'm glad it's black Friday because now I can stock up on socks. Socks are always a good idea.

That's all for my black Friday deals!! Happy shopping, and I'll see you guys on Tuesday with another post.

Holiday Guide: Christmas Greenery

Do you want to know how to transform your Christmas greenery for free? In this holiday guide I will tell you how to make your greenery look full and luxurious for little to no cost. So what you will need is some cheap garland from the dollar store, some yard clippings(preferably evergreen, pine, or Christmas tree clippings), ribbon or something like ribbon to secure the garland, and some ornaments or other decorations to put in the garland. 

So first you will lay out your cheap dollar store garland on wherever you want your garland to be. Next thing you will do is get your ribbon and tie the garland to wherever you're putting it. That way when you stick all the yard clippings in it will actually stay. Next you will stick your yard clippings in. You know what I love about using yard clippings is it makes your garland look more real, and it makes it smell good too. Not to mention it's free. You could also use those little Christmas picks that you can get at the store and stick it in, if you don't want to use yard clippings. There is not really a technique to sticking it in, other than making sure you stick all the clippings in evenly so there won't be a large lump of garland, and a small lump. Also don't be afraid to stick in pine cones or random sticks, get creative with it. Once you got your gorgeous garland all set up, decorate it. You can pretty much use anything you want. For a nice contrast you could try doing a variety between small and big ornaments. That's what I did for the garland that I did this year, and it looks great. 

Before

After

The transformation is amazing! For this year's garland it was under two dollars. Isn't that amazing, and it looks great. And you could use this technique with any Christmas greenery, I just happen to use it with garland. Also warning you will have to vacuum afterwards but it's worth it for some amazing looking garland. 

Who's ready for Christmas? I am dude. On this blog every single week leading up until Christmas I'm going to have a new holiday guide post. It's going to be awesome and I'm really excited to show you guys my Christmas lookbook and Christmas room tour coming soon. So get ready!!!!! See you in next week's holiday post!
