Tips for Saving Money on Holiday Gifts

Here’s a few ways to save money on your holiday shopping this year:

  • Nordstrom has free shipping and free returns, which makes shopping super easy.
  • If you have Amazon Prime, enjoy that free Prime shipping!
  • Do your holiday shopping early to save stress and extra fees for rush shipping as deadlines get closer.
  • Consider getting the same gift for certain categories (ie, the same thing for all teachers or all co-workers) and you might be able to get a bulk discount. If not, at least it will save you stress and decision fatigue.

I can personally attest to most of these gifts, including this Juicy Lip set I use and love. And I gifted this knife to my bestie after she used it while at my house; I know a knife might be a weird gift but if someone in your life loves to cook they’ll appreciate having a wonderful knife like this one.

If Santa is listening, I’d love this famous Always Pan since I’ve been cooking so much lately. Also I ordered myself this stylish band for my Apple watch and truthfully I don’t want to wait until Christmas to use it!
