First Monday back from the holidays is always a rough one, but a little shopping with that Christmas money you just got is sure to cure your Monday blues 😉 Now that all of the hustle and bustle of the holidays is over and we can finally breathe, I wanted to share and review some of my favorite Christmas gifts!
Santa did GOOD this year for me & my family!! I’ve realized as you get older, your list gets shorter and the gifts you ask for get a little more practical. I feel like nowadays I don’t know what in the world to ask for until the day comes and I get a million ideas! Perks of being a blogger…I found all of the good stuff early this year and LOVE every single thing Santa put under the tree!
All of these products make great birthday gifts, Valentine’s Day gifts for your significant other, or even Christmas next year (if you can wait that long)! Save this blog post for later or bookmark these products on my liketoknow.it page!

I love love LOVE this weighted blanket!! These have been so hyped up lately and for very good reason! I first wanted this blanket when I heard how good it was for anxiety. I’ve dealt with anxiety for years and somehow when I’m snuggled up in my weighted blanket, I’m so much calmer and relaxed. My dog who also has terrible anxiety sleeps like a ROCK when she snuggles up in it! Since using mine I’ve also gotten the best sleep ever! I fall asleep so fast and it actually keeps me asleep the whole night. Naps in this thing are AMAZING!!
I have the 12lb Blanquil weighted blanket in grey (linked above)! This one is available on Amazon, so you can get it to your house in 2 days and jump on the weighted blanket bandwagon! The weight on this one is perfect for me and doesn’t make me feel suffocated or too hot. It does not have a soft cover on it but I actually like it better that way, I’ve tried those as well and they make me too hot! The texture of this one is perfect for sleeping.
Another one of my favorites that’s improved my sleep AND skin! Silk pillowcases are all the rage right now but wayy too expensive in my opinion. This satin sleep set from Kitsch is affordable and not to mention so stinkin cute! After using it for a few weeks I’ve noticed my hair and skin are softer and don’t feel super dry when I wake in the morning. It’s also helped me cut back on washing my hair and makes sleep feel luxurious!
Spoiler alert: this is my new uniform for 2020. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about SPANX leggings but could never get myself to drop $100 for a pair of leggings…until now! I’ve shared a few SPANX dupes with you guys and while they’re great for $25, truly nothing compares to these bad boys! They are so so flattering and comfortable! Better than Lulu (yes, really), and any other brand you’ve seen or tried!! I love the sleek faux leather look- you can dress it up or down for any occasion and any season!
I am wearing a small petite (perfect for girls under 5’5 like me). ALL OF THEIR SALE ITEMS ARE AN EXTRA 30% OFF RIGHT NOW!! I just got another pair of faux leather leggings for $42!! Shop a ton of options on my LTK page here!
I wish you guys could have seen my face when I opened a box to find this beauty inside!! This ‘claret’ color is so unique and gorgeous for fall and winter! It’s a lot smaller than what I’m used to but I love the size for days I don’t want to lug a giant purse around. Such a good present to put on your bday or Christmas list this year!
Bombay Hair 3-in-1 Curling Wand
GET 40% OFF WITH CODE: KATIE40
I’ve used Bombay Hair products for almost 3 years now and I’m a HUGE fan! If you’ve ever wondered how I get my big loose curls, this is the answer! I started out using the 32mm barrel but sometimes you need some tighter, smaller curls to mix in so this 3-in-1 is perfect. My favorite thing about this wand is how long it holds curl!! I have very thick hair and have always struggled with my hair holding style. With this wand, I can go all day without refreshing, and sometimes even go a couple of days without completely recurling.
All of their products are super affordable and just as good as T3 or the Beach Waver. They almost always have a sale so you can get this wand at a great price! I also got their Pro Hair Styling Hairdryer for Christmas and love how fresh my hair looks after showering!!
Of course, my Christmas wouldn’t be complete without some beauty and skincare gifts. I will share some of those along with a complete review later this month!
