Your 2020 Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide!

Finally!

I know, I know! I only gave out one gift guide. A teaser if you will. Here we are though, I will be the first to tell you we went extremely overboard. Not just with our children though, we have bought for more people this year than we have ever bought for. My husband lights up like a Christmas tree every year. This is possibly his favorite holiday ever. I rounded up some things I purchased for others and some items my family already has and enjoys!

Happy Shopping!

Holiday Gift Guide Home Addition.

Today I have two exciting announcements. My first is that I am rolling out gift guides today! Secondly I teamed up with a group of girls for an amazing giveaway and your chance to enter will be at the bottom of this post 😉

Gift Guide Home addition

I cannot believe that the holidays are here. Seriously, 2020 has dragged on and on but here we are 23 days before Christmas. I will have lots and lots of gift guides as well as inspiration for yourself here. I also made a Facebook group which I am going to post daily sales and quick finds that are spur of the moment! You can join that group here!

I’m not sure exactly when the switch happened but there is something that makes me feel so grown up when I ask for a home item over booties or a purse (though those posts will coming up as well!).

Below you will find the giveaway and directions on how to enter, but please make sure to comment on what you are asking for this holiday season!

Small Business List

Holiday shopping is in full force so I reached out to a group on Facebook and asked for small business owners to share their shops. I had an overwhelming response to this so I decided to list them all for you to browse at your convenience. The current state of things I think shopping small is more important than ever so I hope you will look over the list and hopefully find your special gift you have been looking for. This list will continue to be updated so make sure to keep an eye out for new shops to be added!

My Picks for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale + Giveaway

First off…my picks!

Free People Top Barefoot Dreams Cardigan Nordstrom Blanket Tory Burch Barefoot Dreams Blanket Lancome Faux Leather Jacket Vince Camuto boots

These are my just a few of my current favorites that I’m looking at but I will be sure to add more along the way before the sale! You will be able to find all of my top picks here.

A little about my picks…

For 2 years I have looked at this Tory Burch bag but never got it. I think might be the year I pull the trigger on it! I purchased 2 barefoot dreams cardigans last year and I was not disappointed at all! They are hands down my most worn cardigans in the fall and winter. I also own one of both of these blankets and they are a crowd favorite. Both are incredibly soft and you just never want to get out from under them. I’m really loving the new color selection on the barefoot dreams (black and white) and may just snag it for my bedroom.

I do not have this Free People top but I have it saved to be my first pick when the sale goes live! I love the way it lays and looks like it will be perfect to wear in or out. I always grab a new pair of boots every year and these ones have been calling to me. All of my Vince Camuto shoes in general are comfortable to wear for long periods of time so I expect the same from these.

Saving the best for last. I have been using Lancome Genifique for roughly 4 months now and I love what it has done to my skin! The price to get 2 (regularly $105 just for 1 this size!) of these plus and eye cream is insane and will probably last you close to a year!

Technique for day of the sale.

Nordstrom has free shipping always. So my best advise to anyone trying to snag things would be to go to your LiketoKnow.it app and create a wish list for all your favorites! When the sale goes live you will then be able to simply click the link to what you want and check out each item and still receive your free shipping on all items!

Last reminder is that this week is the last week to enter the giveaway below for a chance to win $500 giftcard to shop the sale! Good luck and I will update with the winner when it is announced!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Plus Giveaway

What you need to know

Well, it’s that time of year again! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is upon us friends with this being my 3rd year I’m feeling pretty confident on my tactics to make sure you get everything you want. Here are some special dates to remember.

The full previews will be live for everyone to see on July 24th.

Dates to remember

If you have their card (which you do NOT need in order to shop) you just get early access (but they typically restock during “public” access)

  • Icon status shops August 4th
  • Ambassadors August 7th
  • Influencers August 10th
  • Insiders August 13th

Typically I just purchase shoes, sweaters, and home things during the sale it’s the best time to grab your fall basics. However, they usually have really good beauty steals also! I will be posting restocks of popular items throughout the sale so make sure to following along here and on instagram for updates! I will also be posting all of my favorites that I will be shopping here.

After the previews go live be sure to check back with what I do to help get the items I want quickly also! I’ll show you step by step how I do this.

Now for the fun stuff! I have joined together with a group of girls to give away 2 $500 gift cards! All you have to do is follow the instructions listed below and good luck! I will also update this post with the winner!
