7 Last-Minute Beauty Gifts and Stocking Stuffers $20 or Less!

While doing a little last minute shopping over the weekend, I noticed quite a few beauty gifts that could be picked up at your local drug or discount store, for those people that go down-to-the-wire with their shopping.  I just finished wrapping the last of my presents yesterday and for me, that's about as close as I can stand.  Not only are these last minute beauty gifts and stocking stuffers cute; they're practical and cost less than $20!

While at Target, I saw these Burt's Bees kits on the main aisle.  Perfect for someone of any age, these gift sets retail from $9.99 - $19.99.  Who wouldn't love this mani-pedi gift set?
