Holiday Gift Guide for Your Best Friend (Under $35!)

It's the most wonderful time of the year! I know what you might be thinking... But it's not even Thanksgiving yet! Holiday shopping is starting earlier and earlier every year, sometimes even before Halloween! I support early shopping, because I think it encourages people to create monthly holiday shopping budgets and stick to them. Holiday shopping can get expensive, but it doesn't have to be! Maple and Mint Quick Tip: Space out your gift buying so you don't break the bank, and stick to a strict holiday shopping budget. Don't let yourself overspend (as hard as that might be.) It's just not worth it! To make things less awkward during gift exchanges between friends or coworkers, set a spending limit, so one person doesn't give an extravagant gift that's not matched by the other. 

These are some of my all-time favorite items to gift this season. Your girlfriends are gonna love 'em! 

Kohl's Labor Day Sale Picks

Who's excited for Labor Day Weekend?! I always enjoy having a Monday off and going back to work for a shorter week, don't you? Labor Day means barbecues, beer, hot dogs, hamburgers, and waving goodbye to summer while welcoming fall with open arms. There's also lots of sales events to hit up! These are my picks for the Kohl's Labor Day sales event that's happening through September 5th. Stock up on some home/beauty and closet staples like this blending sponge (less than $5!), these beautiful lattice towels or this simple classic cardigan. We all know that fall means the kids are back to school too... so treat yourself to a new Keurig to make getting up in the morning a little easier. Your teen will love this Nerd is the Word notebook because everybody knows... nerd chic is back in style! And you and your daughter might be fighting over who gets to wear these these adorable ankle booties... so you may want to get two pairs-one in each color ;)

 I hope you all have a lovely and safe weekend!
