I absolutely love shopping for others. I love it even more when its a complete surprise and they do not know its coming to them. Last week, Marshalls enlisted me to pick out a gift for a secret Santa. First things first I did a little research about my santa and with social media these days… its pretty easy! My first stop instagram. A little Social stalking? yes, why yes i did…

I asked myself..

1. What does she like to do?

2. Does she have any kids/pets?

3. What is her style?

4. Any obvious favorite colors?

I actually had the pleasure of meeting my Secret Santa when I visited Boston earlier this year and we sat next to each other during our meetings. I already knew she had killer style and loved to make a statement. Armed with all the information I needed, I headed to Marshalls. 

I wanted my gift to be somewhat of a holiday experience. I decided on a holiday look and a few cozy pieces for the next day. Nothing better than kicking up your feet after a long night out right? Once inside Marshalls, I immmmediately spotted the most gorgeous matching midi skirt and crop top. If anyone can rock this outfit, it would be my Secret Santa. Also the both pieces together were $35! Such a steal for an amazing holiday outfit. Per my research I knew she had a big heart for her furbabies, so I ventured over to the pet section. If you have not checked out the pet section at Marshalls, I highly suggest you do. It is pretty amazing. They have just about everything a pet could need. I spotted two adorable Christmas plaid dog toys and put those in my basket. I know all I want to do is throw on some cozy socks after wearing 5 inch heels the night before so I grabbed my secret Santa a pair of cozy polka dot socks. I may have grabbed a pair for myself too. I was able to get my Secret Santa the most perfect holiday outfit, gifts for her pups and some cozy socks for her to wear while watching them play all for $50! I hope my Secret Santa loves her #bestgiftever!

Here is a peek into her gift!
