#MyKindOfHoliday Last Minute Gifts + Target Giveaway

Phew. The holiday season has come and gone. No more hostessing, shopping or gifting. Unless you forgot to mark someone off of your "nice list!" Don't you just hate it when a friend gifts you with something thoughtful and you didn't realize you were exchanging presents in the first place?

No need to panic - I've got your problem solved! We all know that Target has treats for everyone's tastes year round. I mean, every time I step into one of the NYC Targets or one back home in the burbs, I always leave with more than I intended on purchasing.

Here are some of my current favorites for last minute gifting.

A rose gold watch is perfect for a fashionista. Especially one who appreciates a good deal, because this baby is only $19.99! For your friend who's just moved into a new apartment, throw pillows to match her decor - or to help her mix it up for the upcoming season - are a lovely treat. I currently have these on the couch in my studio and they look adorable! And for the gal in your life who has resolved to step up her cardio game in 2014, these pink boxing gloves are both powerful and pretty.

And if you can't find something to fit their personality? A Target gift card always does wonders. And now they even have digital Target gift cards, so you can send one off to their inbox. Then your friend can easily purchase something they've been lusting after or just put it toward the day-to-day things they need, like nail polishes and cleaning supplies. It's a one-size-fits-all kind of gift!

To really help you with your last minute gifts, Target has graciously provided me a $25 gift card for one of my lucky readers! 

To enter: Visit Target and their Pinterest boards and let me know your favorite gift idea (and don't forget to leave your email address!) in the comment space below. Entries will be accepted through Sunday, January 12 and a winner will be picked on Monday, January 13. Good luck and happy shopping xo
