Holiday Gift Guide 2015: Last Minute Gift Ideas

This may be my last gift guide this year, so I better make it count!  There are still some great ideas to give that hard to buy for friend!

I have gift ideas in fashion, beauty and oh…lets start with WINE!

Leer Vineyards Heroic Red ($16 on sale, reg $24 a bottle) —  This wine shows aromas of boysenberry with hints of leather, cedar and cigar tobacco. Flavors are of raspberry jam, chocolate and black pepper, with a faint echo of black tea on the long finish. This blend contains 58% Syrah, 29% Merlot, and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon. A Portion of the proceeds from each bottle sold benefits the Military Warriors Support Foundation’s Homes4WoundedHeroes & Homes4GoldStars programs, which provide mortgage-free homes to combat wounded heroes and spouses of fallen heroes of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Leer Vineyards Valiant White Moscato ($14 on sale, reg $22 a bottle) With aromas of peach and orange blossoms, the citrus flavors are intense, peaches, and tropical fruits dominate. A soft and luscious mouthful with a hint of effervescence for a beautiful liveliness and a balance to the sweetness. While crisp and sweet this Moscato is a perfect pairing with spicy seafood or chicken, and is amazing while paired with bleu cheese, and desserts that include pears or peaches.

I just received samples of these and have tried the red.  It is delicious!  I’m not a connoisseur, but I like that I can taste some of the rich and smoky flavors, but it is not too dry.  It’s a little sweet at the end, yum!  I plan to try the Moscato over the holidays and am looking forward to that!

Q&Q Watches — The watch on the left is Q&Q Solar Smile Series RP00J013Y ($36 on sale now, reg. $40) and the watch on the right is  Q&Q Solar Smile Mini Series RP01J003Y ($36 on sale now, reg. $40).  The one on the left is a larger watch and the one on the right is smaller, but both are great for fashion forward friends!

I love that these are solar.  To charge the watches, you expose the dial to sunlight.  I think it’s great that you don’t have to worry about batteries!  And there are many cute choices!
