UPDATE 12/19/14: And the winner of our $100 gift card giveaway is...@saucyfbaby!! Congrats to our winner and thanks to everyone who participated!

With Christmas just days away, it's getting down to the wire for holiday shopping. Luckily there are three spots - T.J.Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods - that have amazing gifts at incredible prices, with new additions arriving all the way up to Christmas Eve! Recently the PR team sent me a gift card and challenged me to do a little holiday shopping of my own: The catch was that I had to buy gifts for people (or pets) who weren’t on my original list but could use some holiday cheer. Keep reading to see what I found!

Giveaway details!!

Do you want to do a little holiday shopping, too? Of course you do! I'm giving away one $100 gift card that you can use at T.J.Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods! All you have to do is share your personal favorite T.J.Maxx, Marshalls or HomeGoods holiday gift finds on social using hashtag #bestgiftever. Follow and tag me @budgetbabe on Twitter or Instagram for your chance to win. I will select one winner and announce the winner on Friday, December 19th. Open to US residents only.

Louise Roe is known for her personal style, but one look at her home and it's obvious her sense of style infuses all aspects of her life! Her 1962 house has neutral tones with wood and terracotta floors, plus lots of bright light via the large windows. Given its canyon location, the home has the feel of a tree house surrounded by lush trees, but it's anything but glam. The room that caught my eye is the dining room which is a sophisticated take on the 70s inspired entertainer's den.

Inspired by nature’s purest ingredients, Burt's Bees has launched two new lip balm flavors - Wild Cherry and Vanilla Bean. To celebrate (because yummy new lip balm flavors are always cause for celebration in our book), I've secured some of these amazing lip balms for BB readers to try out in today's giveaway! Five (5) winners will each receive one of each of the new lip balm flavors to keep those lips nourished and hydrated all winter long.

Please use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter. Good luck! Open to US readers only per the brand's request.

Baby, it sure is getting cold outside these past few weeks! While we love our nights out, sometimes all we want is a snuggly evening in—and maybe with a pal or two! Our sense of love and thankfulness associated with our friends and family are heightened at this joyous holiday season, and we celebrate that by spending time with them. A ladies night might be typical, so let’s put a spin on it and hold a good old-fashioned slumber party! My best friends and I got together for a night of movies, snacks, and all things girly! We slumbered in style with Joe Boxer pajamas and got all dolled up with new beauty products—all available at Kmart!
