Fear not; for today, we’re here to share some glam, functional, and fun gift ideas on Daytime Chicago for those hard-to-shop-for on your list!
Fragrance is still the #1 selling beauty gift in department stores, but they are getting so expensive.
This set is such a deal at $50; it smells great and is super versatile. I know because my sister wears it, and I have watched people stop her and ask her what perfume she is wearing. It’s just one of those universally liked scents at an affordable price for the holidays.

The Gift for Kids that Gets Them Outside and OFF their PHONES
First off, let’s talk kids! When they sent me this toy to test out, I thought, “Oh, this looks fun”, but I had no idea how much fun it truly was going to be. Plus, it’s easy, mess-free, non-toxic, and the charge lasts. The accessories are great, and it doesn’t break the bank to restock the gels. It’s meant for kids, but I have had fun blasting a few other parents, too.
