Holiday Gift Giving Made Easy!


Well, it's that time of year - time to start thinking about holiday gift giving. I know, I know ... it's too soon! I feel ya. It seems like it comes earlier every year lol
As a crafter, I try to start thinking about it and planning earlier than this ... because it does take time to come up with gift ideas/projects, gather the supplies, and then of course design the projects and execute them.
So, I usually begin with creating a list of gift recipients, and ohhh myyy gosh! There's family (sisters, in-laws, cousins) friends, co-workers, boss, kids teachers and coaches, mail carrier, house party hostesses, neighbors; plus when you have kids, it seems you're at the doctor or dentist office very often and you become friendly with the staff and want to show appreciation ... so then we add secretaries, nurses, medical assistants, dental assistants ... ahhhh it can be so overwhelming! And these are just the women!

Well thanks to Color Street's new holiday bundles release, I've come up with some great gift giving ideas that'll give you the biggest bang for your buck! Now hear me out because I know it's going to seem like a lot. But let's do the math ...

There are 4 new holiday bundles that come with a total of 28 products if you bought all 4 ...

Bundle 1 ... Lipstick Vault $140 (16 products)
contains all 12 shades of lipstick, plus 4 shades of lip liners

Bundle 2 ... Lush Lashes $50 (2 products)
contains Tri-Flex Mascara and Waterproof Tri-flex Mascara

Bundle 3 ... Luminous Lips & Tips $50 (5 products)
contains 4 travel size Lips Oils (including 1 NEW Pixie Lip Oil), plus 1 Pixie nail strip set

Bundle 4 ... Glow All Out $50 (5 products)
contains a black velvet makeup bag, (NEW)Jelly Pout lip treatment, travel size Blackberry Lip Oil, Tinted Lip Balm, and Tokyo Lights nails strip set

Nails strip sets are always Buy 3, Get 1 Free; so add 4 glitter sets for $39

Okay, now we have 32 individual products for $329. Now don't freak out! Because if you calculate that to average, each item will cost you only $10.28! That's just $10.28 per gift!!
Just look at all that you get ...
I like buying holiday themed cellophane 'goodie bags' to put small gifts in. You can buy them at the Dollar Store or Target, or really anywhere you shop. I found these cute ones on Amazon. They are big enough to hold a 16 ounce jar, come in packages of 20 and have built in drawstring ribbons that are perfect. Just add a little bit of shredded filler and it's done
If you want to add a little more, combine 2 of the products as a gift. You would have 16 gifts and it would only cost you $20.56 per gift! Again, just add them to a cute bag, add some filler and you're set. You could pair a nail strip set with a lipstick, or a lip liner with a lip oil, the possibilities are endless! Here are a few ideas for you ...
Do you want to step up your gift an extra notch? Ulta has their annual Sweet and Shimmer sale going on right now! The products are so cute! And they're on sale for 5 for $10. That's only an additional $2 per item added to your gift! Here are a few of the items that I ordered ...
Here's a gift idea that would only cost you $24.56. 2 Color Street products, plus 2 Ulta products ...
Okay, so I know that seems like a lot of money to buy all 4 of the Color Street bundles. But here's another option that I just have to point out ... if you buy the Lipstick Vault bundle, you'll get 12 full size lipsticks plus 4 full size lip liners - that's the BEST deal! 16 products at $8.75 each!!
If you want to step that one up a bit, add (2) B3G1F glitter set deals at $39 each. You can add 2 lipsticks and a nail set and it would only cost you $24.24 each for 8 gifts
Again, you can step it up even further by adding some Ulta products. The hair scrunchies and makeup sponges come 2 in a pack - split them up for $1 each, and the large nail files come 3 in a pack so they're only $0.66 each! This would be an awesome gift for only $29.96 ...

As you can see, there are SO many possibilities! Play around, do the math - the deals are ahh-mazing! You could totally put together some great gifts that won't cost you a fortune!

And if you want to step it all the way up, start your journey with Color Street as a stylist for just $99!! The starter kit comes with the following and could easily be split up for gift giving:
1 Lipstick, Lip Liner, 1 Lip Balm, 1 Powder Blush, 1 Balm Blush, 9 Nail Strips, 1 Hand Lotion, 1 Cuticle Oil, 50 2-Finger Testers, 100 Prep Pads, Large Nail File, Nail Buffer, 10 Core Catalogs, 25 Opportunity Brochures, Stylist Launch Guide, Tote Bag, Welcome Letter
