Every year it feels like the holidays sneak up on me and once again I’m decorating, baking, and crafting last-minute. This year, I’ve tried my best to stay up on things and even though it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, I am already {mostly} done shopping for everyone on my list and am halfway through my wrapping.
I’ll pause while you “wooo-hoooo!” for me and then I’ll give you the bad news. You see, while I’ve only got a few presents left to buy, I feel like the ones left are the absolute hardest to buy for and it just might take me until Christmas Eve to find that perfect gift, which won’t leave much time for crafting, baking, or decorating.
Thank goodness this year I had the help of the Holiday Celebrations 2012 eguide that is filled with great crafts, recipes, style tips, and entertaining ideas that even I can do. From simple tips, DIY, beauty trends, style ideas, and amazing savings, it’s like a little present to yourself right before the holiday craziness.
Produced by Dawn and Elizabeth of Party Bluprints Inc., Audrey and Vera of Getting Gorgeous and Collective Bias and distributed by Social Fabric, Holiday Celebrations 2012 includes exclusive coupon codes, free shipping and links to huge savings from iconic brands you know and love. Brands like searsStyle, Cookies Kids, Tyson, and Nivea, as well as hot new brands like Rio Soul and OtterBox.
Rio Soul immediately caught my eye and I knew it was perfect for Bianca, one of the reviewers here at Rave & Review. Having been bit by the travel bug hard in the past few years, Bianca has been globe trotting all over Europe and South America. She is always in the process of planning another epic vacation to some exotic place, and thus always looking for fun footwear that can go all day long.
As soon as I saw all the amazing colors and the adorable designs, I knew I had found the perfect gift for her. When I read more about the shoes and how they are incredibly lightweight and flexible, I knew I was going to win friend of the year. Since Bianca is big into CrossFit and has been searching for shoes that are perfect for working out but can easily slip into her commuting bag, these pretty much had her name all over them.
Gorgeous, no? I've got them ordered and am waiting for them to arrive so I can see these beauties in person. After she's had a chance to wear them all over Seattle and beyond, I will let her update you with pictures and more of her adventures with Rio Soul.
P.S. If you're as smitten with these shoes as I am, you're going to want to know about the awesome coupon in the eguide that you can use to buy yourself a pair or surprise someone you love. In fact, I just might order myself a pair...
