Get a Peppermint Mani/Pedi
One of the best scents of Christmas is peppermint. Allure Day Spa & Hair Design offers the Peppermint Pick-Me-Up which is a peppermint sea salt pedicure and manicure combo for $55.00. Reservations are necessary and 24 hour notice is required for a cancellation.
Cover Yourself in Gingerbread
Stop over at Sephora and pick up The Gingerbread Girl™ Set. It includes an 8oz gingerbread scented bubble bath/shower gel and an 8oz gingerbread scented body lotion. It smells absolutely delicious and you'll be using the reminder of Christmas long after the holidays are over.
Buy a Special Present
What's Christmas without some sugar cookies? As great as they are, you may enjoy this Sugar Cookies more. The shop offers upscale lingerie for women. It offers a large variety of lingerie from garter belts and boy shorts to robes and slips. Consider it a Christmas present to yourself. Who better to give you advice on lingerie than your best girl friends?
Shopping
If you still have some last minute shopping to get done, head over to the Grand Central Holiday Fair. From November 15 to December 24, over 70 vendors will be selling almost every type of gift you can imagine from toys to décor. You can get something for almost everyone on your list.
Dinner
After all the running around, you and your girls are bound to be hungry. Stop over at Soul Fixins' restaurant where you can warm up indoors and stuff yourself with some delicious soul food. Their menu is full of foods that will warm you to the core including smothered chicken, plantains, coconut rice, cornbread and sweet potato pie. There is nothing like comfort food with friends on a cold, wintry day in New York City.
Instead of buying presents for your girlfriends, each of you could spend your own money for the girls day out and consider the outing a present in itself to each other. While you're walking around the city, make sure to stop and take pictures together at the various buildings lit up with Christmas lights and in front of the windows that are decked out with elaborate displays. New York City is beautiful, especially around Christmas, and spending time with your friends is the perfect way to enjoy it.
