Happy Thursday, Friends! Before I get started on today’s post, I just wanted to thank all of you for the sweet messages you have sent me with regards to my recent podcast and magazine article. I am so honored to be able to share my story so that other women that are walking the road of infertility and loss can feel like they are not alone. We are in this together, and that is what the true meaning is behind our Lunchbox Babies community! If you haven’t listened to the Joy & Infertility podcast, you can click here. And, you can check out the Voyage Dallas article by clicking here. Thanks to both groups for interviewing me! Such a fun December!

SO . . . Over the last several years, I will sneak something small into my stocking. Something small and fun that I know I will enjoy.

Last year, I just did my entire stocking. Gone were the days of gum and mints I won’t use, and hello Starbucks gift cards, face masks, and treats from Ulta! I was so impressed with my stocking stuffing ability last year, that I decided to stock my own this year as well!

I mean, I am obsessed with all things Christmas, so it just makes sense!

I have shared my new Christmas trick with a few friends this year, and I have had tons of questions. Here is the key . . . small, inexpensive, and fill that baby up! Ha! And, please note that I also do Reid’s stocking, so he is doing just fine as well!

I have a few favorites that will be filling my stocking this year, so I am excited to share. And, these are ranked in my excitement level. I am such a great Christmas gift shopper . . . for myself! Ha!

ONE

Yes, yes . . . number ONE is a Starbucks gift card. I treat myself to $25. Easiest gift that just keeps on giving. I give one of these bad boys to my kids teachers every Christmas, so I just pick up one for myself as well.

TWO

The Peter Roth Mask Kit was included in my contribution to a “My Favorite Things White Elephant Gift Exchange” Party yesterday. This set can be found at Ulta (sorry that I can’t find an Amazon link for you!), and it is $19! These tubes are sample masks from Peter Roth’s amazing collection, and I LOVE THEM! Some are gentler than others. My favorite is the Pumpkin Enzyme Mask. It makes me feel like I have had a procedure with an esthetician! Amazing.

THREE

Y’all . . . I am such a sucker. Yesterday, my friend Reese Witherspoon was telling me on her Instagram story that this cream was her favorite. Her skin is so dry in the winter, and this Elizabeth 8-Hour Cream was a miracle fix. Clearly, I had to order and ship to my house ASAP for Christmas! I have dry skin too! It is why Reese and I are friends. It is only $24! You can buy all other the place, but click here to Prime ship this bad boy from Amazon!

FOUR

I have shared my love of the Glam Glow Bubble Sheet Mask with you before, but I JUST CAN’T STOP! I also included this in my little gift exchange gift yesterday! SO GOOD! You put this black mask on your face, and three minutes later it turns white from all of the soap suds working with your skin. It is a deep clean, and works so well. I usually save mine for after traveling or a bad eating/drinking situation. You can usually find one mask for $9 or six masks for under $50. Click here to grab from Amazon!

FIVE

Yet another thing that was included in my gift exchange yesterday! My present was clearly the bomb! Ha! I don’t know why I put this so far down the list because it is clearly the most important. So, ladies . . . look in the mirror. Do you have peach fuzz or hair on your face? I love these razors because they help to scrap off the dead skin and hair from your face. I use this once a week, and I love it. It makes my make up go on smoother and it keeps any of those nasty strange hairs from sneaking up on me! Super cheap . . . less than $4 for this three-pack on Amazon. Click here!

THE REST . . .

My stocking will be overflowing because I will be topping it off with these treats from Target . . . Travel size bottles of Big Sexy Spray & Play, Bliss brightening eye pads, and possibly a handful of Hershey’s Kisses.

So, that’s it! We only have SIX days until Christmas. If you haven’t finished stuffing your stocking, try out some of the fun options above! Merry Christmas!
