Cyber week is upon us y’all & that means more sales than you know what to do with! It can be a bit overwhelming {even for me} & with so much going on, I knew I wanted to offer some tips to make shopping the sales as easy as possible! These are my tried & true tips that I use every year, so I know they’ll work for you too.
- Make a plan! I like to basically make a to-do list for myself. I first write down every person I want to buy presents for. Next, I make a list of the items I want to buy for myself/my family {aka our home!} I like to map out what/who I’m buying {for} so when it comes time I don’t forget anyone or anything! This takes 5 minutes and will make such a difference when you start shopping.
bbbbbbbbbbbbbb For example:
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Emma – Kiehl’s Nighttime serum?
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb John
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Sara – 3 Piece music set
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Erica – Personalized Planner?
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Taylor
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Elise
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Guest Bedroom
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb New headboard?
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Check Ballard for X-bench
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Framebridge for art?
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Pottery Barn curtains – see if they go on sale! - Make a separate list of all your favorite online retailers. Although most retailers will have some sort of promotion going on, not all will have major sales. I like to make a list of every retailer I love and check back on them all weekend to see if they’re sale change. I also like to separate my retailers by department: HOME, FASHION, KIDS, BEAUTY etc so I can stay focused.
bbbbbbbbbbbbb For example:
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb HOME
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Mintwood Home
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Mark & Graham
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Wisteria
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb William Sonoma
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb BEAUTY
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Ulta
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Sephora
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb FASHION
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Nordstrom
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Shopbop
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Bloomingdale’s - Last but not least, check back in all weekend with me here & on Instagram – I will be posting all the information on my favorite sales, my top picks, gift guide ideas and so much more.
Oh, and if you’re wondering if this top is as comfortable as it looks, you would be pleased to know that it is! It can be worn off the shoulders {as shown above} or as a cowl neck, and at $55 it is super affordable. My favorite part however is that it is long enough to cover my backside so I could easily wear this look with leggings or leather pants too!
