Here's how Olivia Culpo buys the best holiday gifts for her sisters year after year

The holidays will be here before you know it -- which means you're running out of time to choose the perfect gift for your sister. Luckily, Olivia Culpo's got you covered.

During a chat with AOL, Olivia revealed her go-to strategy for finding amazing presents for her sisters, Aurora and Sophie. Each year, the family exchanges gifts Secret Santa-style, which adds extra motivation to choose something the recipient will adore.

"The key to getting a good gift is genuinely feeling like it's something you would love if they got it for you," Olivia told us. "So ask yourself, 'Would I be thrilled with this gift?' And if the answer is yes, ninety percent chance they will love it."

The method worked flawlessly in recent years, she said: "For my younger sister I got her a watch, and for my older sister, I got her a massage and a yoga retreat!"

A seasoned party host, Olivia is also a fan of sending any holiday guest home with a memento, from Polaroid photos to a family-favorite homemade biscotti. She's collaborating this year with Stella Artois for its "Host One to Remember" campaign, sharing tips and inspiration for the perfect holiday get-together.

Sometimes the best gift is one that's gone within the night -- like spending the evening enjoying a cocktail. Olivia's go-to holiday drink, featuring Stella Artois Cidre, is ideal for nights by the fire or massive Christmas parties. We've included the recipe below -- enjoy!
