Check, check, check! One by one, I’ve been crossing off the “big” gifts from our holiday list and I have to say it feels good!
So now moving on to the smaller things on our lists, I wanted to share with you some of the insane deals going on at Claire’s Accessories.
Fun fact: I worked at Claire’s #BackInTheDay as an assistant manager for probably a little over a year (Shout out to Lynnie, my manager and friend whom I still keep in touch with on FB). It’s true, I pierced ears with the best of them and while training employees even let them use my lobes for practice (?!?!). I think I left that job with a total of 9 ear piercings– including 3 cartilage (all have since closed up).
Like any job, working at Claire’s had it’s pros and cons–
Con: Restocking and rearranging all those teeny tiny accessories– hundreds of them–that came individually wrapped.
Pro: Employee discount– 40-50%!! Holla!!
At the time, my sister was around Delaina’s age (7/8-ish?) and as you can imagine, to her I had the coolest job in the world– No one had a bigger collection of Spice Girl merchandise and butterfly clips than she did.
When the time came for me to move on from Claire’s and go on to work in the big city, my accessory collection felt the pain and so did my accessory-showered little sister…. because full price meant less splurging.
Well today, friends Claire’s is offering 40% off their entire site* (ONLINE ONLY)– which is basically like reaping the perks of an employee (again). You can scoop up stocking stuffers for under $4!!!, Small teacher/coach/friend gifts for under $10 and even snag some festive holiday styles– like a Santa tutu or ugly sweater vest for under $15!!!
Laina and I got to check out some of these fun holiday accessories first hand when I hosted the Holiday Fun Finds event at the Mills this month and there were SO many cute styles– Laina wanted one of each!
Below I’ve put together collections of just a few of my favorite finds to get you started.

Without fail, around the holidays I start to feel like I’m drowning in a sea THINGS.–things we have, things we will receive…. where do we put all the things?? 
The full-size quilt we created was made from 30 t-shirts that represented who Brendan was and the things he that loved. I love the idea that anytime his little girl wants to feel close to her Dad she can snuggle up with this blanket and feel embraced by his spirit.
