*Checks phone in disbelief* Yep, you read that right. The calendar app on your IPhone isn't lying to you. It's well and truly December 21st, and you forgot to get your niece, your bestie, your work wife - perhaps even your dog walker - a Christmas present. The shipping cutoffs are relics of the past, and now the online ads for the gifts that could have been are taunting you; procrastinator's guilt settling in.
If you’re days out from Christmas and starting to feel the gentle hum of panic… take a breath. You haven’t missed the window. Your hypothetical dog walker won't be left giftless. In fact, some of the best gifts, in my opinion - don't require a tracking ID and aren't shipped via Prime Delivery.
They’re unique, thoughtful - and best of all, they’re still very much available in Dallas. Procrastinators & Task-avoiders, rejoice - your gift guide is here:

Option 1: For the Beauty & Skincare Lover, A Gift Card to The Brow Project
Okay, okay, okay. Yes, I'm biased. But this is also a phenomenal gift - and not only can you still purchase one, but you can purchase it ON SALE. It's exactly what they want, it's still able to reach them by the 25th, and you get a discount?!
From now until December 22nd, I'm offering tiered savings on gift cards - so the more you spend, the more you save:
| 10% off $1,000 gift cards → $900 ($100 in savings)
| 15% off $1,500 gift cards → $1,275 ($225 in savings)
| 20% off $2,000 gift cards → $1,600 ($400 in savings)
| 25% off $2,500+ gift cards (endless savings potential)
It’s easily one of the best holiday deals in Dallas this season (I had to give you all something extra-special for the holidays!) If you want to give them something meaningful that they'll actually use, you really can't go wrong with this.
What Can a Brow Project Gift Card Be Used For?
I'm SO glad you asked - because this is where a TBP card really shines.
Gift cards can be used on anything at the studio, including:
| PICOSure Pro Laser Tattoo Removal in Dallas
| Permanent makeup (PMU) brows and/or color boosts for existing clients of mine
| Lip blushing
| PICOSure Pro skin rejuvenation
| Glo2 Oxygen Facials
| Procell Microchanneling
| Corrective treatments such as Brow Tone & Lip Neutralization
| Anything comprising our expansive skincare & makeup product lineup, ranging from affordable, trending K-Beauty to medical-grade skincare.
So whether your loved one has been quietly hinting about PMU brows, moaning about their drunk-college-decision tat & wanting laser tattoo removal, or just dreaming of healthy, glowing skin going into the new year - this gift makes it absolutely possible.
And honestly? It’s also a great time to treat yourself while your'e at it. Double the gift cards, double the savings, and double the treat-yourself moments.

Timing is tight, but believe it or not you still have options:
| Virtual gift cards are available for immediate purchase
| In-studio gift card purchases include a GWP (Gift With Purchase)
A few important details to know:
GWP is for in-studio purchases only and will not be shipped.
Due to system limitations, gift cards priced above $1500 must be purchased by emailing booking@thebrowproject.com.
Physical gift cards must be picked up by December 23rd
Betcha didn't think you'd be rewarded for procrastinating on holiday gift shopping, did you? Purchase your gift cards here (and act fast - this really is your last chance to gift!!)

Option 2: Brick & Mortar, Baby (Shopping Small in Dallas Edition)
I implore you not to panic, think Prime Same-Day Delivery is your only option, and line Jeff Bezos' pockets even more. Grab the keys, head to an area like Bishop Arts, Knox/Henderson or Lower Greenville - and support those local businesses!!
2025 hasn't exactly been kind to small businesses. It's tough owning your own store, and the best way to support these small "mom n' pop" shops is to shop from them - and if you're strapped for time, it's time to grab the keys, drive over & shop IRL.
Some of the benefits alongside supporting the local community are:
| The quality of the item is likely to be miles ahead of whatever drop-shipped item you'll purchase on Amazon
| They'll be happy to receive something you went out of your way to purchase from a small business ( I think these are some of my most appreciated & treasured gifts, personally!)
| You're more than likely getting them something unique that no one else will have
There’s something different about walking into a local studio and buying a gift from a real person, especially one who knows the care, craft, and community behind it. When you shop small and local in Dallas:
| You support women and minority-owned, brick-and-mortar businesses
| You keep money circulating in your community
| You give a gift that actually has a story behind it
A local experience often means more than another item under the tree, and it’s remembered long after the holidays are over.

Option 3: Thoughtful DIY Touches That Make Any Gift Feel Personal
A few days is more than enough time to get your craft on & make them something truly one-of-a-kind. There's nothing more unique, more meaningful & more sentimental than a gift you spent time & hard-work on. It can be as simple or as complex as you'd like - and the internet has given us millions upon millions of free tutorials to utilize.
DIY projects not your thing? You can add a sentimental layer to pair with a gift card; something small and intentional:
| A handwritten note explaining why you chose the service/business
| A printed “self-care day” voucher for the new year
| A simple skincare item alongside the card
The saying your parents always said really does ring true: It's the thought that counts.
