Lofty Goals, and a Few Holiday Gift Ideas From Anthropologie

I have a friend who always, always finishes her holiday shopping in October.

Um…wow?

On the one hand, I think that’s cray. On the other, I wish I had her discipline because seriously, I’m an infamous last-minute shopper. Most years I’m at the mall on Christmas Eve!

This year — oh, here we go — I swear I’m going to get most of my holiday shopping done by Halloween.

A lofty goal, I know, but I figure, Tabs was able to beat all odds to become the world’s greatest plus-size kitty supermodel, so I ought to be able to at least finish my holiday shopping by the end of October.

The other day I did some early recon at my local Anthropologie and found a few interesting gift ideas…

Man, I love that store. They take tchotchkes to the next level.

Paws & Claws Stackable Candle, $40
Paws & Claws Stackable Candle ($40 each). When you’re done with these candles, you can use the trays as cat food dishes.

Ranch Organics Goat Milk Soaps, $6

The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons From the World's Most Elegant Woman, $19.95

Camellia Bib Necklace, $68

    How does she do it? There’s no way I could plan so far ahead.

    Anthropologie is usually my go-to place for last minute gifts. My friend has a cat and I can just imagine her excitement if she saw this stackable candle. Great ideas! ;-D

    My go-to hostess gift is Anthro’s Volcano candle. I’ve given many, many of them over the years. It’s especially nice if you don’t know much about the host/hostess to bring wine and flowers just don’t last long enough. I love the Volcano candle and even my candle hating husband likes the smell!

    I am totally one of those people who has their gift shopping done by Halloween. I spend the rest of the season shopping for myself at places like Anthro lol.
