In just about two more weeks, holiday shopping becomes official. I'm talking about the day after Thanksgiving when stores, both physical and virtual, saturate us with deals, steals and frills.
I've been more excited for the holidays this year than any other year though. A baby can do that to you, ya know?
Usually, I'm one of the last minute shoppers. Try as I might to get an early start, I always have some gifts left to the end. This year though I've already been active in searching for gifts for people. *crossing my fingers I'll get things done earlier!* Frankly, my time isn't what it used to be so time to shop has become a luxury. I'm lucky to even get some time on the computer to window shop! I have to be more efficient than ever before. Not so surprisingly, Ross has become my one-stop shop. True story - Ross has become a great resource for gift buying.
Just last week, I found things for the gal pals in my life...

Just last week, I found things for the gal pals in my life...
foot spa goodies with cozy slippers for my always-on-her-feet-sister-in- law.
lavender scented candle for my zen friend
designer perfume for my makeup guru friend
picture frame for my mother-in-law (inspirational quote insert optional)
I even found a couple of treats for me - a blanket scarf and a new coffee mug (hey, moms deserve some self-love too!).
I'm certainly not done, but I'm getting that head start I never made time for before. As the holidays inch closer and closer, I'll be making several more stops for the gents and maybe some more special treats for me. Tis the season, right?
Have you started on your holiday shopping?

I love the slippers and cream...it's such a practical yet luxurious gift. I love your blanket scarf outfit too! So cute! No, I haven't done any shopping and I don't plan to. The husband doesn't want anything and all the kids want is money.
ReplyDeleteLove that scarf! I always find such cute things at Ross and agree it's a great place to shop for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with that blanket scarf and chic coffee cup! my holiday shopping just started, haha so stressful!

I start holiday shopping WAY earlier than is appropriate. I feel bad if I get things last minute because I feel like I'm not getting the best things that I can for people. At least now I only really have to worry about wrapping it all! :P
ReplyDeleteCute buys! I love that you can shop for pretty much anyone at Ross. :) I just got the Black Friday ad for Target yesterday and I'm making my plans. I love BF shopping to get gifts for everyone! <3

Love that frame and that plaid scarf!! And I haven't even started shopping and probably won't until after Thanksgiving. I'm a procrastinator!

Those are some really cute gifts. I especially love the mug! You can never have enough mugs! I'm a fellow last minute shopper, but this year I started a little early. I even have my Christmas cards already. I'm feeling a little proud of me lol. :)
ReplyDeleteAdding that scarf & mug on my wishlist. I love your complete look <3 <3
