Check-It-Out

"How's the Holiday shopping going?", "Did you start buying your gifts yet?", "What are you buying for so and so?"  These are the questions I give and get every year at this time.  It's like the automatic typical question I asked and everyone asked of me freshman year; "What's your major?".  However, this question follows me around for 23 continuous days of the year, and it will continue to do so unless I turn into a Scrooge (too late for that this year). Every year I make lists, I scratch ideas out, I make new lists, and I shop at a hundred different stores searching for new/fun/original ideas.  My point is....Oh, what's that?  Did I start my Holiday shopping, you ask?  As a matter of fact, yes, I did, and I'm DONE!  That's right!  How did I finish?  Did I pay someone to do it for me?  No and No!  I put my time in, I did my searching, and I found a few helpful sites that offered me great ideas and made this hectic time of year a little simpler for me.

1. Swirl by Daily Candy has helpful categories to choose from, a number of different price ranges, and best of all my order shipped in the same day!

2. Uncommon Goods has unique gifts for just about every age group and for every occasion.  The best part is the "gift finder" which allows you to search for gifts by price range, recipient, and occasion.  My order also shipped the same day!

3.  Who doesn't love Etsy?  My new favorite seller Kaye Rachelle Designs offers fabulous screen printed textiles for the home; Pillows/Totes/Towels and more!  And what's even better is that you can mix-&-match your fav colors and prints from their library.  These gals know what they're doing!

4. Amazon....enough said. 

5. And here's a helpful hint for the fellas.  You cannot go wrong with Piperlime.  Sexy shoes and boots, stylish bags, awesome jewelry, free shipping...need I say more?

Happy Shopping!!!  Are you done yet??
