Great Girlie Gifts from FLIRT! at Kohls.

My daughter has already gotten into the spirit of exchanging gifts with a few of her friends. They actually do a gift exchange between about 30 girls where they draw secret Santa names and exchange small priced gifts for 3 days. What is really fun is that they don't let each other know who the giver is until the final day - though many of them figure it out before then.

This year Caci picked out a few gifts from Kohl's, and being a girl after my own heart, she selected these beauties from our favorite FLIRT!.

Lip Wishes Gift Set - $14.99

This great little set which would look adorable hung on a tree, contains three SQUEEZE ME super shiny lip glosses in the following shades: Radical Raspberry, Pink Champagne & Zippy Ginger.

Nail Wishes Gift Set - $14.99

This limited edition set of six polishes comes perfectly gift boxed and ready to give. The set features an array of shades from light to dark, in all very popular colors.

Eyeshadow Set - $29.99

This is another blockbuster set that I actually featured last year as a Holiday giveaway. This features 40 beautiful eyeshadow shades to wear however you like. This is perfect for a teen as they can experiment with color on end.

I have these listed at full retail price, but with all of the great sales and coupons and extra savings discounts at Kohl's, you will more than likely pay much less. We paid about $9 each for the lip and nail set, and around $15 for the set of eyeshadows.
