Last Minute Shoppers–

Panic Attack?

Don't freak out!

I can solve all of your shopping dilemmas with two words:

GIFT CARDS

They
always fit,
always come in handy,
always allow for a little “after-the holidays” splurge.

The Dreaded Morning After

You know how it feels.  You’ve overspent. You tell yourself —

Stay away from stores!

Pay everything OFF!

Well, that’s the thing. We all feel that way. That’s why Gift Cards totally work.

Yeah, no– okay I’ll admit, they do encourage shopping,
but if you stay within the limit, it’ll be

Absolutely Guilt Free!

So, if you know someone like me,

or you are like me,
or you want to send something to me…

Here’s my list:

Primarily L.A. Specific (with websites)

Urth Cafe (Spanish Lattes, organic food, casual & easy)

Curve (a serious splurge)

Satine (a hot L.A. boutique treat)

Katsuya (spicy tuna crispy rice…need I say more?)

Planet Blue (for the inner-Malibu girl)

Ron Herman (another fancy girl gift)

Maha Yoga (for those in need of the zone)

Pilates Plus (a session or two for the work-out fiend)

Anastasia (for the ultimate brow wax)

WAX (for an eyelash dye or spray tan)

More Nationwide

Barneys NY (even $25 buys a little bit of fancy)

Best Buy (they have everything)

Starbucks (who doesn’t need a boost?)

Taschen (the ultimate in artistic coffee table books)

iTunes (who doesn’t love music?)

Lululemon (to go to yoga in style)

Mani/Pedi (pick your favorite spot)

Target (people go crazy – what can’t you find there?)

Barnes and Noble (re: books – what can’t you find there?)

Gap (value + style + accessibility – an easy please)

Williams-Sonoma (for the kitchen and more)

Crate and Barrel (for all home needs)

Whole Foods (organic heaven)

I love to give Gift Cards because I love to get Gift Cards.

Most people love Gift Cards. It’s a much safer bet than say– a sweater that may or may not fit, may or may not be the right style and may or may not be wanted or needed.

Avoid giving something that may be re-gifted.
If you can’t find the perfect gifts,
Gift Cards are the way to go.

Definitely!
