First off, I'd like to invite everyone to use this great deal off of Jewelry Bean's new
and really awesome Hat & Scarf Collection. The collection is full
of the most adorable Beanie Hats and the most snugly Blanket Scarfs, and
more. Jewelry Bean and I have decided to collaborate together for the
holidays, and they were nice enough to offer my followers this discount.
I am not being paid for my endorsement of this company. I truly love
their products, and we've worked together in the past and decided to get
together again to share in the holiday spirit. Enjoy!
Secondly,
the reason for this post was to do a Holiday Gift Guide. But I didn't
want to do one with just a few of my "holiday must-haves" and call it a
day, I really wanted to go in deep and discuss everything that, in my
humble opinion, goes into being an awesome gift-giver! I also wanted to
try out a new medium. I'm always sharing my opinions, likes, outfits,
purchases, advice, etc. through writing, and I think I'm certainly an
eloquent writer... definitely more so than I am a speaker... but you
can't emote through the written word and I'm certainly a very expressive
speaker so I wanted to give video blogging a try. Hence my new YouTube
Chanel HERE and my series of videos for my Holiday Gift Giving Guide for 2016!

I
REALLY love this shop for Christmas and/or anniversary gifts! I bought
my husband's 5th Wedding Anniversary card from this shop since they
specialize in wooden items & wood is the traditional 5th wedding
anniversary gift. You can check out the card I bought him on my

Including this...
The last video, video eight...
is where I just want to also mention another shop The Silver Loft
which sells handmade personalized/custom pieces that are truly
one-of-a-kind. And that's where I'd like to leave off. The best advice I
can give regarding gift-giving, is to be personalized. Whether you are
actually buying something that is personally customized for the person
you're buying for or not. You have to stop and think of the person
you're buying for and get something that's truly meaningful TO THEM.
Shop SMARTER, not HARDER.
Good
luck and have fun with your holiday shopping. I hope these videos help,
and if I don't speak to you again until after, have a very Happy
Holiday!!
