Gordon appeared yesterday at Aberdeen Sheriff Court for sentencing, having previously pled guilty to the three shoplifting offences.
She had also pled guilty to failing to provide information about the identity of the driver of a vehicle to police on March 12.
All the offences were committed while she was on bail.
Defence agent John Ferrie said his client had a drug problem and added: “She will take any opportunity to go on any courses she can.”
Sheriff Ian Wallace sentenced Gordon, whose address was given in court papers as Mearns Street, Aberdeen, to three months behind bars.
He also put six penalty points on her licence for failing to provide the identity of the driver.
