I know Halloween JUST ended, but everywhere you look, signs of the holidays are already popping up. For some, it’s a great way to start planning and getting ready for what ultimately ends up being a “busy” time of the year. For others, it’s just another reminder that the holidays are quickly approaching. No matter which side you fall on, I hope that you are excited for some down-time and quality time with your family this holiday season… I know I am!
When you’re thinking about holiday shopping, do you spend as much time thinking about the stocking stuffers as you do about the big gifts? My husband always jokes with his mom that he can’t wait to see all of the stocking stuffers that she got him. She obviously stopped buying those for a few years now, but he always remembers this part of the holidays fondly, definitely one of his favourite traditions. With this in mind, I realized that I need to step up my game when it comes to stocking stuffers. They are just as much fun (and sometimes even more fun) than the big gifts.
To help you get started with your stocking stuffers gems, I’ve teamed up with Church & Dwight for a great festive giveaway. Enter to win a great prize pack valued at $100.
