Has anyone started Christmas/Holiday shopping yet? I’ve been going back and forth on things to get for people, and found some great things at the mall, as well as some great deals too. I only have 5 out of the 15 people I have to buy for, but I’m making some progress. I usually do a lot of gift cards, but this year I’m trying not to do as many gift cards, and I’m going to wrap more gifts this year instead of throwing everything into gift bags, ha. Christine’s on a roll!
Shopping at the mall is great for tons of reasons, seeing all the bustle, listening to the Christmas music, peppermint mocha lattes, and of course Christmas gift deals! Here are some of the deals I spotted during my shopping! After all, I love knowing that I got someone an amazing gift without having to sell my soul to Satan. Isn’t that refreshing?
Bath & Body Works: Free mani/pedi kit with any gift card purchase, Stocking Stuffers for less than 15.00, 2 for 10.00 Softest Socks (great for feet pampering nights!), Buy 2 Get 1 Free Holiday Gift Sets
Victoria’s Secret: Sweaters 50% off, 40% off PINK Styles, Secret Garden Collection gift set for only 12.50 & mist set for 15.00, DISCOUNT CODE: Buy pajamas and enter SLIPPER08 when placing your order online or by phone. Free slippers make a fun gift for someone else, or yourself.
And of course, my personal favorite: Stocking Stuffers. I always hear my friends asking what to do for stocking stuffers, and there’s plenty of cheap and fun ideas for stocking gifts. I love finding lip glosses and mini nail polishes in my stocking. For guys how about playing cards, or a fancy bottle opener? And if all else fails, check out Gifts.com amazing stocking stuffer ideas.



















I miss Bath and Body Works. About ten years ago, I developed this funny skin problem on my hands. I have to be very careful about what type of lotions and soaps I use on my hands now, or else my hands get EXTREMELY, PAINFULLY dry, and so red that it looks like I’m wearing mittens. Basically anything that has colors or scents causes trouble… so everything from B&BW is out.
I can use the body butter from the Body Shop occasionally with no problems, but it’s so expensive that it is a very rare treat!
