gifts in a pinch.

Let's face it: sometimes the facebook birthday reminder fails us and we have to scramble to find 
the perfect prezzies for our pals. Danielle and Sarah challenged their readers to come up with a 
few of their favorite gifts and I decided to pick six fabulous gifts you can buy in a pinch!

In my opinion, these six goodies would be perfect last-minute gifts since they're readily 
available online for speedy shipping and they don't all break the bank. When I give gifts, 
my intention is to buy a little treat they might not purchase for themselves.

What gifts do you like to give when you're in a pinch? 

Can't wait for some gametime Friday's Fancies tomorrow {along with the slew of other 
cute outfits I'm sure you ladies will create}! I hope you have a phenomenal Thursday...
and I'll see you back here tomorrow! xoxo {av}

psst: I'm in Durham, North Carolina on Friday night...email me if you are too!

    Love your ideas! Super cute (and affordable)!

    I like cocktails (as do a lot of my friends haha!), so I like to buy a bottle of liquor and then write out the recipe to a delicious cocktail with it. If I have a bit of extra time/money, I'll get the rest of the ingredients to go in the cocktail so we can make them together :)

    I love these ideas! I often do a frame, a candle, Lilly stationery, or a Sbux giftcard and mug for last minute gifts. I also have a little gift drawer with lots of fun gifts--Christmas ornaments, cookbooks, etc.

    That Nars 'Sea of Love' set is going on my must-have list and I love, love, love those frames from Pottery Barn. I imagine with a gift guide like this your girl friends feel very loved on their birthdays.
