Somehow it’s only 8 days until Christmas, and it’s time for those last minute gifts! I shared a few of my favorite last minute gift picks under $30 yesterday, but if you’re feeling the crunch and nervous to order online so last minute, T.J.Maxx, HomeGoods, and Marshalls are great places to stop by and find some amazing gifts.

A few weeks ago I had the chance to speak with Julie Kenney, a celebrity gifting expert, and she shared some great gift ideas and tips! She said that when she’s gifting to the stars, she always stops by one or more of these three stores because they have great choices for super affordable prices. And I couldn’t agree any more — I always stumble upon the best finds at these stores! They have choices for the whole family, including designer clothing, sporting goods, educational toys, pet items, food and kitchen items — there’s something for literally everyone!

My favorite ideas from Julie were stocking stuffers, since those are always the hardest for me. She suggested vintage games (she mentioned Jack’s as a fun idea for my 4 year old, which I’m totally going to buy!) and vintage card games, personalized stationary, or mini chalkboards and chalk. I also totally love the idea of these oil sets! Unique and fun ideas, right? I mean I have to have something fun to go along with the socks and underwear that always show up in the stockings!

So run over to your local T.J.Maxx, HomeGoods, and Marshalls, and finish up that holiday shopping!
