This is my FAVORITE time of the year! Even though it might seem a little bit early, if you go by pay periods on a monthly schedule it's scary how many are left until the holidays. If you go by bi monthly pay periods it's a little easier to stomach. Never mind, it's not easy to stomach. The holidays are around the corner, the leaves are falling and it's time to think about shopping!
Not that I'm opposed to shopping. I just like to shop when I have an unlimited supply of money. And I like to choose gifts that will appeal to everyone in the house.
Uncommon Goods has been one of my favorite stores to shop at for a long time. They have some really unique gifts that are just FUN! No other store is going to have them, so the gift is well thought out and unique. Every year we give you our round up of the best toys we can find and THIS year is no exception!
Just keep little helpers OUT of the packages so they don't peek before the holidays!
And to show you how much we love you (and to help jumpstart you holiday shopping procrastinators) we're giving away a $50 gift card to Uncommon Goods! Keep scrolling to see what you need to do to enter (it's EASY!!)
