Holiday Gifting with eBay

I love buying gifts for family and friends throughout the holiday season, and even more so when I can score what they want for a deal. Thankfully for eBay, I found tons of amazing brand new {or like new} items for half their original cost! I have to keep who these gifts are for secret because so many of my loved ones read my blog, but that won’t stop me from showing them to you now so you can hopefully get some fun ideas for the people in your life!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I love my Dyson hairdryer. It’s the ultimate luxury in haircare cutting the total time spent drying your hair in half. This refurbished option on eBay is the perfect option for your loved one. I bought a refurbished Dyson vaccum a few months ago on eBay and when it came I actually forgot that it was ‘refurbished’ – it looked brand new. And of course, it worked beautifully. As for the dryer specifically? I’ve had tons of my readers message me in the past saying how happy they were with their purchases. Saving money, and getting the beauty lover in your life the gift of a lifetime! Win-win 🙂

The Coravin is a no-brainer for the wine lover in your life. With this tool, you don’t ever need to worry about finishing a bottle before it goes bad. The Coravin has a tiny needle that you insert into the cork of the wine bottle which allows you to pour one glass at a time. Once the needle is removed, the cork reseals itself, and the integrity of the wine is preserved. Also great if you like white wine, and your SO likes red – now you can have a glass of each without guilt! My husband and I have had our Coravin for over 6 years now and it is still one of our most used and appreciated kitchen gadgets. You can find tons of Coravin wine systems on eBay for a fraction of the original cost!

When it comes to preparing for Christmas, there is no better way than lighting one of Nest’s Holiday candles. With the combination of pine, spices and citrus all perfectly blended together, the fragrance is a tradition that my husband and I can’t live without. I give these as gifts to all my friends and family throughout the holiday season! The votive size makes a great teacher or neighbor gift, while the classic size is great as a hostess gift.

This elegant little Slip silk eye mask is the perfect gift for the jet set traveller in your life. It comes in tons of colors, and is made from 100-percent pure silk. Super soft, and super luxe, this mask not only feels good on the skin, but is also good for your skin as well. The silk helps prevent fine line and wrinkles that can come when using cotton, and doesn’t leave a crease in your hair even if you’ve been wearing it for 8….9….10 hours straight. Gotta love the chic packaging too – they make the best gifts!

Last but not least is everyone’s favorite sneaker – the Golden Goose superstar. These sneakers are cool because they’re different – they’re playful, funky, and come in all sorts of colors, mateirals and shapes. Once you buy your first pair, you will be instantly hooked. Every boring outfit you put on will feel instantly cooler, and it’s hard to not want a pair in every color. The only catch?  These pre-distressed sneakers will usually set you back a pretty penny, costing anywhere from $500 to $1,000 dollars.  Lucky for you, you can find tons of incredible deals on these sneaks on eBay. A few favorites include this super cool leopard hightop pair, this classic black/white pair with sparkle laces, and this neon pink pair.
