THE GIFT LIST / FOR HER, FOR HIM + THE KIDS


I am one of those people who will procrastinate later.  So I tend to put everything off until the last minute except for Christmas shopping.  I am like a squirrel and hoard gifts away throughout the year and am generally done before Halloween.    So while you are bored at work this week, waiting for the pie to bake or traveling to your holiday destination, here are a few ideas for that hard to shop for person in your life.  And with sales starting earlier and earlier there are already tons of steals to be had!  Here are a few to hit up early…

One Kings Lane // 20% Off and Free Shipping on many items
West Elm // 40-50% off bonus deals
Anthropologie // Extra 25% off sale
Serena & Lily // 25% off with the code CELEBRATE

( total sidebar… my family cannot sleep without the Serenity Oil from DoTerra.  It has cured my daughter’s night terrors and sleepwalking )
