Gift Guide- 25 Bloggers Give Away Their Fave Things!

Its almost Christmas!!!!!!  (Those that hate rushing past Thanksgiving I am SO with you,  but please hold while I finish this thought.)  The reason I am so excited this year is because last year I was in full on Nate mode.  We were in NYC for a week before Christmas and couldn’t put our tree up until we were home (incase we needed to reshoot anything) so I have vowed to enjoy every.second. of this holiday season.

To help you enjoy your season more a group of creative bloggers have decided to team up and do a fun blog hop with a gift guides of their favorite things! 

favorite-things-gift-guide

As much as I would love to channel my inner Oprah and say “Your getting a vintage tufted sofa, and YOUR getting a vintage tufted sofa, and YOUR getting a vintage tufted sofa!”  Its just not possible.  Maybe one day.  So without further adieu here are my favorite things under $25 that you can enter to win!

Favorite Things Giveaway Vintage Revivals copy

Lets begin shall we?

First things first.  I am obsessed with these simple printed rugs from Homegoods.  They are a great size, super durable, and easy to wash!  I have one similar on my front porch.  ($12.99)

I found this thumbs up statue at a Goodwill in AZ while I was working on Kelsey’s Bedroom.  After a coat of white gloss spray paint it is the perfect amount of randomness for your house!  ($3.99)

What favorite things list would be complete without a roll of ScotchBlue?  We go through this stuff faster than we go through underwear.  The good news?  My hubs can make clothes out of it, so we are golden.  Also how is that for a visual? ($5-7 per roll at Lowes)

Its no secret that if Homegoods was a person I would totally marry them, so I have included $25 so you can start your own lovefest if you havent already.

I SUPER love Vintage Style light bulbs.  The just make your lights so much funner. ($9.00 from Lowes)

NYX Lip Cream in Addis Ababa is my favorite fun lip color.  It’s a great Barbie pink that doesn’t wash you out!  You can find it at Ulta ($6.00)

Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Naked.  BEST NUDE COLOR EVER.  That is all there is to say.  I didn’t think I would love it at first but I am now a complete junkie.  You can also find this at Ulta or here.  ($19.00)

Piece of Olive Wood.  I am OBSESSED with Olive Wood.  It has the most beautiful grain and color variation.  You can use this piece for a million things from Décor to serving food.  ($7.99 at Homegoods)

Scotchmallows from See’s Candy.  Hands down my favorite chocolates.  There is a yummy layer of their perfect caramel and a disk of handmade marshmallow smothered in dark chocolate.  And lets be honest.  I bought these a week ago for pictures and I need to go buy more for the winner…because I ate them.  Don’t be so disappointed, they are irresistible!

So there you go!  Things that I cant live without.  Do you want to win them all?!  All you have to do is enter below!
