How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

My Top Picks From The Sears Christmas Wish Book and A $100 Giveaway!

in Lifestyle on 12/12/15

Screen Shot 2015-12-10 at 10.02.49 AMYesterday I cleaned the house.  Dragged out the rest of the holiday decorations.  Had my hair done.  Chatted with a girlfriend.  Went to a volleyball game.  Bought some groceries.  Helped with homework.  Squeezed in a date with the Hubby.  Did a little work.  Played with the dog.  Um, pretty much anything I could to avoid…..Christmas shopping!  It’s not that I don’t want to get it done, it’s more that I seem to have frozen up.  My great ideas for the year?  None.  My shopping mojo is lost!  And then a teeny Christmas miracle.  A magical link to the Sears Christmas Wish Book.  Suddenly, the mojo is back!

Screen Shot 2015-12-10 at 10.03.04 AMThe Christmas Wish Book is stuffed to the brim with ideas for everyone on your list; sorted by recipient, interest, and even price point.  In short; the Wish Book makes shopping so very easy.  Here are just a few of my favourite picks for 2015.Screen Shot 2015-12-10 at 10.35.40 AM

 

 

For the traveller on your list, the Heys Journey 26″ Spinner.

Simply a must when travelling is a bag that’s easy to roll, is super light, and I know will meet all those “carry on” criteria when we make it to our flight.  This pretty little piece checks all the boxes and to top it off, it’s on sale! At only $139.00 you can save not only your back but $210.00 off your purchase price!

 

 

 

Found for the young fashionista on your list; the JESSICA Sterling Silver Initial Pendant Necklace. The Sterling silver is complemented perfectly by the sweet Cubic Zirconia gemstones for a contemporary look that’s perfect for every day wear.  With a price point of only $12.49 it’s a perfect starter necklace for your little one.

Need something for the Star Wars fan in your life?  I do!  As always I want to be the coolest Aunt ever, and figure anything Star Wars is the way to go. I found an impressive collection of Star Wars toys in the Wish Book including the incredible Star Wars® The Force Awakens Micro Machines Millennium Falcon Playset.  This play set includes a figure and a vehicle. So much fun and that coolest Aunt status shall remain intact.

Still searching for a little something for the Women in your life and don’t know what to do?  Personally, I’ve got a thing for a little bit of bling!  Spotted in the Wish Book this year, the Women’s Bypass Bangle With Jet and White Crystals. On sale at a whopping 60% off it is now only $43.99.  A great choice for Moms, Mother-In Laws, Sisters or even Teens!

 

For the man in your life, the Fat Cat® Texas Hold’em Poker Chip Set.  

Not only is it a beautiful set of poker chips, but it cleans up for travel, or even easy storage.

Nearing the end of your Christmas Shopping list but still have a couple of people you must shop for?  Scroll through all the great ideas listed under Gift Sets and Gift Baskets.  I adore a good basket!  This section is a great spot to find that one last gift, or a jumping off point for that missing gift inspiration.  Here I found the perfect little gift basket stuffed full of Starbucks Goodness for the many sports Coaches on our list.  You can’t go wrong with coffee!

Confession time?  I just MAY have to pick up the Clinique “Party Pretty” Make-up Set for myself, because, make-up!

And then there’s @loviamykonos. 🤍

Looking for a hotel in Mykonos? This one has stunning views, the warmest staff, dreamy boutique-style surrounding and an unmatched location.

There were so many moments sitting on our terrace, looking out over the Aegean, we’d look at each other and say, “Can you believe we’re here! That this is real!” 💕
Lovia, you were pure magic. ✨
We left a little piece of our hearts there. 🇬🇷🤍

Hubby and I will never forget the ferry ride in Lake Como that took us to this HomeExchange in postcard perfect Italy. 
How did we manage to spend almost 2 weeks at this dreamy location without maxing out our credit card? @homeexchangecom

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.

If you want to travel more often and live like a local, you need to check out @homeexchangecom.
