The Season to Spread Love: A Last-Minute Gift Guide

Sweet friends, I know so many of you are still finishing up gift purchasing.  Yeah, me too.  But… FEAR NOT!  See how I used that Christmas reference there?  Get it?

Readers, I have a plan and ideas for you!  I’m including affiliate links, but this is all stuff that I find truly adorable!  I may gift some of these items myself!!!  (I’d give a little of all of it…if only money grew on trees, you know!)  Happy gift giving!  I’m sending you warm hugs.  Merry shopping to you, friend!

1. ‘Tis the season for blanket scarves!  These make cozy & affordable gifts for women.  If you aren’t familiar with blanket scarves, let me fill you in!  Plaid is the print of the season…I think.  {I’m not exactly a fashion expert.  I wear socks with reindeer on them…so there’s that.}  Blanket scarves can be tied as infinity scarves and wrapped around as a blanket.  Some people even use them in their home as decor!  I’m a huge fan.  Maybe you have a daughter, sister, or babysitter on your list?

2) I  love the entire Daily Grace Collection from Dayspring!  From the pitcher to the place cards, it is all adorable.  The cake plate is right up my alley, as well.  This chalkboard is only $10!

3) Lately, I’m very smitten with this company I’ve discovered.  Krochet Kids intl. is a non-profit, fair trade company that works with women in the most poverty-stricken countries of the world to empower them with the resources to overcome poverty.  Each product is hand-signed with love by the woman who made it.  You can #KnowWhoMadeIt and learn her story on the KK website!  I love, love, love fair trade products that not only give back, but make a sustainable difference in the life of a family.

4) These bracelets read, “I Can Do Hard Things,” and every purchase (of this bracelet and tons of other great deals) support the fight against childhood cancer.  P.S. I Adore You is a company that features a “Cancer Cutie” each month: a child diagnosed with cancer.  A portion of each sale is donated to that child & the child’s family to assist them as they bravely battle against cancer.  This is another opportunity for Purposeful Shopping that will not only bless the receiver of your gift but a family in need of hope.

5) Several months ago, my fashionable friends, Rose and Sarah suggested Jane.com and I fell in love with this site!  …mostly because I am frugal and the prices are crazy-cheap!  Jane offers Daily Boutique Deals at up to 80% off.  Aren’t you glad I introduced you?  You are so welcome!  You could lose hours of your life browsing deals on this site, but take a look at these Elf and Santa pajamas.  I love a good pair of Christmas jammies for kiddos to open on Christmas Eve!  So sweet!

6) Check out these genius $10 notepads from Emily Ley Paper, Inc..  They have several varieties of these in bright colors that I assure you will impress every planner in your life!  Speaking of planners, their daily planners are absolutely beautiful!   The notepads range from “Babysitter Checklist” to “Grocery Notepad” to “Notes from Mom” to organize thoughts quickly and efficiently.  I can get on board with such a thing.  Every mom I know would love this “Meal Plan” notepad.  For sure.

7) Last but not least, I’m head over heels about this Better Together line from Dayspring!  The theme verse for this collection is Romans 12:5, “In the same way, we who are many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.”  Amen and amen.  Every piece of this line is right up my alley and I bet you know someone who loves the people of the world just as much as I do!  What a beautiful way to celebrate the Kingdom of God in the very season that He sent the world His perfect gift: His one and only son.  Praise the Lord, all Nations!

.

Sweet readers, I could go on and on about each of these individual companies for various reasons.  Perhaps one of them will help you check off the final gifts on your Christmas list while spreading a bit of joy!  May this season of giving be motivated by our love for one another.

We love because He first loved us.” ~1 John 4:19

From my heart to yours,
