There are only five days left until Christmas. Many Christmas trees already have gifts piled underneath just waiting to be opened. But that’s not the case for everyone. Whether a busy schedule has kept you from checking everyone off of your Christmas list, or just good old-fashioned procrastination set in, you can still find unique and personal gifts to give this year at a number of local NoVA stores. Take a look.
She’s Unique
Jewelry is never a bad idea. Stun your loved one with a beautiful Mondrian necklace with gold fill and emerald ($128). Or, if you need something for your best friend, a gold-plated BFF necklace ($36) is wearable proof of your connection. // 205 King St., Alexandria
529 Kids Consign
Need something for your toddler that can be both fun and help with his/her development? Try the Bloxx stacking game ($20). For an older girl, let her show off some style with a Unicorn Snot glitter lip gloss, a perfect stocking stuffer ($7.99). // 122 S. Royal St., Alexandria
Current Boutique
Whether it be jewelry, fashion or accessories, Current Boutique still has gift options that will stun the recipient and make her look trendy in the new year.

Silver Bow necklace ($124.99). // Alexandria and Arlington
AR Workshop Alexandria
Have someone who loves wine and wit? Then these gifts from AR Workshop are perfect. Pick up a wine tumbler that reads “Life Happens, Wine Helps” ($25), or a pair of socks that read “If You Can Read This, Bring Me A Glass Of Wine” ($10). Or for the coffee lover, go for a mug with “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop, Unless this is Decaf” ($15). // 107 N. Fairfax St., Alexandria
The Wellness Cooperative
It’s two gifts in one when you go for the Body Wash Infused Holiday Ornaments at The Wellness Cooperative.

Another special care tool is the Jade facial roller that helps to massage your skin ($28). // 309 S. Washington St., Alexandria

The winter is cold, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be fashionable. A cashmere pom hat ($299) and a cashmere beanie reading “Love Wins” ($80) pulls double duty of keeping you warm and fashionable. // 309 Cameron St., Alexandria

Know someone who travels a lot but still needs to look their best?
