All week long, I’ve been here telling you what to get everyone else.  Now don’t get me wrong, I am being completely genuine when I say that I LOVE the giving part of Christmas.  The exchange between my siblings, specifically, is one of my favorite parts.  But alas, we work hard all semester long, so we deserve a treat too, right?  Whether you add one of these items to your Christmas list, or buy them with that Christmas cash, here are a few things to treat yourself to.

1.  Lucky Brand ‘Angeles’ Slipper
What says Christmas more than a soft, cuddly pair of slippers?  Especially in our dorm rooms or off-campus houses, slippers are a must!  Shopping around, these looked to be super comfy and aren’t too pricey, either!


2.  Lululemon Yoga Pants
Us BC girls LIVE in yoga pants.  Whether we’re actually doing yoga with one of the fabulous instructors at the Plex, or just lounging around (they’re just too comfy), our legs love our yogis.  So treat yourself with a nice pair from Lulu.  Sure, they’re pricey, but let’s be honest, you WILL get your money’s worth, and they’ll last forever, while making that already fabulous tush look that much better (thanks, Lulu!).

3.  The TKO Slapper Watch
It seems like watches are all the rage these days, so stand out with one of TKO’s Slapper watches.  In many different colors, they will be sure to match your Nike Frees, and only cost $50!

4.  Makeup Studio Blockbuster by Sephora
If you’re the makeup artist type, this is a must.  A $440 value for just $49, this is an all inclusive makeup studio with 197 different pieces.  Looking for a neutral eye shaddow? Check!  How about a loud shaddow for drama?  Got it!  

5.  Perfume
This is a fun one.  Go play around in your favorite department store, smelling all the fragrances.  Then… treat yourself to a bottle of your favorite (or add it to your list!).  Perhaps try DKNY’s “Delicious.”
