11 Last-Minute Beauty Gifts You Won't Believe Are From the Drugstore
Realistically if you bought a holiday gift for every deserving person in your life, you'd be broke! So this year our goal is to scale back the Christmas shopping budget, but that doesn't mean we're getting everyone toothbrushes as stocking stuffers. These trinkets ring up at $25 (or less) and can all be found in the aisles of your local supermarket, drugstore, Target, or Walmart. That means even if you've only got 15 minutes before your next gift-exchange party, you can find these presents in high supply. Cheers to saving money and time!
