Gift Guide – Cyber Weekend Deals

Cyber Weekend Deals

Black Friday and Cyber Monday have evolved over the past few years. When I was growing up, every few years my mom and I would wake up and head to the outlets in Bluffton, South Carolina to work our way through her Christmas list for every one of our friends and family members. I remember the excitement of listening to Christmas music in the car as we drove 45-minutes to the outlets in the darkness, arriving at the first store when it opened at 6am.

These days, I do most of my holiday shopping online, quickly clicking back and forth between websites and referencing a notes page on my phone which I populate throughout the year.  In fact, this evening while Katie was taking her short, cat nap, Bo and I spent 45 minutes doing all of our Christmas shopping for friends and family members.

Have you already finished your shopping? Are you team in-store or online shopping? If you plan to spend time online tomorrow or Monday, here are a few of my favorite sales and items.

Gift Guide – Under $30

Under $30 gift guide

Multiple times during the holiday season, I find myself needing a small gift. Whether it’s for an office Secret Santa or a hostess gift, having a few of these tucked away will make your holiday season a little less stressful.

  • Never have I ever met someone who didn’t like peppermint bark. The Original Peppermint Bark from Williams Sonoma comes in a tin perfect for gifting. Made from the finest Guittard chocolate and infused with peppermint oils this bark is addicting! $29
  • Who doesn’t love the smell of fresh Frasier fir? This perfectly price Williams Sonoma Winter Forest Guest Set includes hand soap, hand lotion and a votive candle. I ordered four of these to use as hostess gifts and small thank you gifts during the holiday season. $14.95
  • Need a gift for a female in your life who loves better-for-you beauty options? The Beautycounter Glow and Go Mini Oils set contains three oils that will help them reveal their best face during the cold, dry winter months. Whether they want balancing, brightening or plumping, this set has it all! $28
  • Another great gift idea for your girlfriend, sister or colleague is the top-selling Sephora Face Mask Magic set which includes six of their most popular face masks. $25
  • My mom introduced me to L’Occitane hand creams years ago and since then I’ve always carried one in my purse. Their 4-piece hand cream set features four hand creams that will keep your hands soft and hydrated wherever you are. I love that the scents aren’t overbearing and the cream absorbs quickly, leaving your hands soft not sticky. $16
  • My favorite candle during the holiday season, the Nest Holiday Candle is an aromatic candle that lasts for hours while filling your home with cinnamon, orange, pine and pomegranate. The packaging is fun and festive while their small, votive size is perfectly priced. $16
  • Stylish, fun and practical the Corkcicle Stemless tumbler will keep your beverage cold for nine hours or cold for three hours regardless of whether it’s a strong, morning latte or a glass of wine. Featured on Oprah’s Favorite Things this year, this will bring a smile to anyone on your list. $15.80
  • Help your friend or loved one chill the heck out after a long week with the Calm Bath Salts. These salts will transform your bath into a relaxing sanctuary filled with vanilla scent and detoxifying sea salts. $18
  • The custom stamp gift box set allows recipients to personalize their stamp with their design, address or greeting of choice. If you have a friend who enjoys sending or receiving snail mail or just moved homes, this is a perfect gift this holiday season! $27.97

Gift Guide for Runners & Brooks Giveaway

Even though I am not running as often as normal right now, due to my pregnancy, I’ve had an entire year to try new running products. Even though I have the opportunity to try many new products each year through this blog, I find that many of my favorite items have been favorites for years. In fact, when looking at my past Running Gift Guides (2012, 2013, 2014), I realized that I still use many of these items on a weekly basis!
