Written by Stylelist Blogger Network member Jessica Quirk of What I Wore:
Can you believe it? We're two days away from Christmas! I'm happy to report I have all of my friends' and family's gifts taken care of, but there's still the stocking to think about. It boggles my mind to see gift guides with ideas for $50 small gifts. None of that here! I grew up getting things like an apple (or an orange), some shampoo/conditioner, fancy chocolate, chapstick or hot chocolate mix. All pretty practical presents, and yet one of my favorite parts of the morning because we didn't have to wait around for anyone else to open 'em! Just a free-for-all!
Should you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing a small stocking gift on Christmas day, you're not completely out of luck. Gas stations and some drug stores (Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid) are open on December 25th - and here's how to make the most of what they have to offer.
Meanwhile, what's the best thing you have ever received in your stocking? Tell us in the comments section below and don't forget to visit What I Wore for more style inspiration from Jessica.
