A few days ago I made another appearance on Essence Now, Essence magazine's weekly digital show. Last year I showed affordable style options to decode your holiday party dress code. But this time around it was still holiday related, but all about gift baskets.
While you can buy a ready made gift basket, there's nothing better than creating a custom DIY gift basket. One that's really tailored to the person and the things they want or even need.

Backstage is Macy's off-price outlet store. So think of it as a typical Macy's, but a bit smaller and even more affordable.With Christmas just one week away, I found a ton of goodies and hopefully these will inspire you if you need some last minute gifts. Oh, and everything I scored was less than  $50!
