I am ready for Christmas. I love it, even though I know it can be an exhausting time. Owning stores definitely has made the Christmas season a bit more stressful in my house, and ironically it makes me a late shopper. Admittedly, I do have the ability to shop at my own stores for the holiday which simplifies things; especially since my kids and most of my nieces and nephews are older these days.

One way I shop early is by following the stores I love on Instagram and watching for their “12 Days of Christmas” promotions. We joined in on the fun about six years ago, doing videos and all sorts of bells and whistles to promote it. Maybe next year we will get back to that– my family still likes to test me about my magic, glitter-showering, snap at the end of those videos.

This year, logistics made it impossible to get those videos together in advance. I blame Covid and its residual shipping bottlenecks that compromised the ability for brands to send us items to use for the promotions.

While it’s a little more difficult to come up with the items, we think we have a great list of deals. Starting tomorrow at 10 am, check your email and Instagram to see the deal of the day. Make sure you check to see which of our three stores has the item, and if you can’t make it in person, we'll have the deal online, too. You can also give us a call or message us on Instagram, and we will do our best to keep up.

We hope this helps you get a few names checked off your list. Happy shopping!
