Only ten days until Christmas! If you’re like me, you haven’t yet started your Christmas shopping and the hair-pulling due to the stress of the holidays has commenced.

1. Osmia Organics Sunset Body Oil ($30 to $85). You knew this was gonna be on here. My little 2oz bottle of Sunset Body Oil is well loved, so I know your gift receiver would be so happy to unwrap this bottle of joy.
2. Diptyque Candles, Set of 10 ($145). Ahhh Diptyque. My husband will never understand why I spend $80 on a regular sized candle.
