There's always so much to do around the holiday season! I REALLY enjoy making gifts for friends family and co-workers. That way I don't have to spend all of my holiday time shopping in crowded stores. In this post I will share some inexpensive beauty gift ideas you can create that are straight from the heart. They make great stocking stuffers!
