Heidi’s Holiday Gift Guide and Giveaway 2020

You guys, the magical, but also exhausting holiday season is here, and Mrs. Claus has a lot of stuff on her to-do list…like, more than normal. The pitter-patter you hear isn’t that of reindeer. Oh no, that sound is the ever-present tiny feet now that our homes have transformed to school and everything in between. Ahhh, the “new” norm. With so much on the brain and so many changes, this holiday is certainly looking a bit different, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make the most of what we’ve got!

After all, it is the most wonderful time of the year, you guys! While it is the tradition at my house to give into that tryptophan-induced coma, slip on my comfiest clothes, grab a MDB, and hit the couch for holiday shopping, I imagine this is pretty much your go-to this year. To kick off the holiday season, I’m sharing my annual holiday gift guide AND GIVEAWAY! Scroll to the bottom for details!

Heidi’s Holiday Decor:

Pottery Barn Embroidered Stockings, Red and Gold Ribbon (love this candy stripe ribbon set), Green and Black Plaid Ribbon, Wrapping Paper (also love this winter scene and this rustic holiday set), faux snowy pine greenery for wrapping, and gift tags (love this unicorn one for Ruby).

But hey, not waiting in long lines is a bonus, right? To help you narrow down what your kiddos, fashion lovers, fitness enthusiasts, and hey, even yourself might like this year (we know that Santa gets all the credit, but Mrs. Claus is the true hero, am I right?), I’m sharing some of my favorites. Now through Monday, I’ll add more and more goodies to this blog, so keep checking back for new items and giveaways!

**Giveaway closed** We may be working on new traditions this year, but some must remain, like Heidi’s Holiday Gift Guide Giveaway (say that three times fast!). Check back over the next five days because I’ll be adding a selection of new favorites AND a major giveaway bundle. Scroll to the bottom for details!

Top Gifts for the beauty lovers

Shop Heidi’s must-have beauty gifts:

Vanity Planet Facial Steamer (55% off) and Exfora Device (60% off), Athia Kisser Kit (50% off sitewide), Kristin Ess Temporary Hair Tint (under $15), Facewash/Makeup Headband (also love this leopard print one), and Jade Roller

Beauty products are quite literally my new baby, but they’re also a family affair. From my mama to Mars, the love of beauty products is definitely generational. The best thing about the gifts on my beauty list? They are the perfect escape from hearing “mom” around every corner. If the “new norm” has taught us anything it’s how to turn our bathrooms into spas, and so with that in mind, I’m giving you the perfect items to relax, escape, and enjoy some beauty time, especially when beauty rest isn’t always available.

From my favorite Vanity Planet Facial Steamer to the Athia Kisser Kit, you’ll have glowing, hydrated skin without leaving the house. Plus, I’m also loving these Facewash/Makeup Headbands…gotta’ keep that newly tinted hair out of the way. 😉

Click here to shop Athia’s line for him: VLR (50% off sitewide)

Bonus: For the man—or man child, in my case—in your life, Athia’s new line of male products is the perfect gift. Hey, real men need moisturizer too. How do you think Santa stays so dang jolly? I’ll let you in on a secret: It’s not the cookies. It’s the moisturizer! Ok, maybe it’s the cookies too.

Top Gifts for the kiddos

Shop Heidi’s must-have list:

Tangle Pets Brush (on-sale under $15), COMFY, Coil Pack Hair Ties (also this variety pack under $10), Nail Polish Gift Set, Longboard by Original Skateboards (use code LOVEHEIDI for 20% off), and Baby Weight Set (Fischer Price Baby Biceps)

Even as the kiddos are getting older, the best part about Christmas is the look on their faces as they open each gift. For the whole family, COMFY is the name of the game. If you haven’t heard of a COMFY, it’s a blanket you can wear, which is pretty much the mood of 2020.

My real life unicorn, Miss Ruby Lane, gets a magical unicorn brush to match her personality (plus some Kristin Ess Hair Tint for Mars, Ruby, and mama because, why not?!). Marley is all about nail polish and beauty products this year. You’ll find post-Christmas happiness as Cash and Matix hit the streets with the rest of the neighborhood on their longboards! Gosh, the joys and simplicity of being a kid. It makes it all worth it. Maybe you’ll even catch Mrs. Clause out for a joy ride or two. 😉

Top Gifts for the fitness fanatic

Shop Heidi’s must-have list:

Lululemon Align Pant II (so nice, I had to put them twice), Total Transform Bundle (normally $479.80 NOW $189.99), Everday by Transform Low Carb Meal Replacement Flavor Sampler (normally now 40% OFF), Resistance Band (also love this set on Etsy)

Gift guides and fitness gear go together like Santa and cookies, right? Ok, ok, maybe just in Powell land, but you know I can’t leave the fitness lovers off my list. This year, we’re doing a great sale on Transform products from the app to meal replacement shakes with up to 60% OFF.

And when it’s time to hit the gym (or do that killer at-home workout), you know what they say: A great outfit is sure to get you motivated. With these booty hugging Lululemon leggings and 4Kor Resistance Bands, the fitness lover in your life (ok, it’s me, you guys!) is sure to look great, work hard, and feel like a million bucks.

Top Gifts for the stylish

Shop Heidi’s must-have Fashion Finds:

Cents of Style Thermal (use code fabfriday on sale $8), Cents of Style Socks (under $15), Lululemon Align Pant II , Aviator Sunglasses, Carolina Trimmed Hat (now 30% off), H&M Joggers, Ring Variety Pack

Up next: gifts for her, the stylish lady in your life (and hey, maybe it’s yourself). If you’re anything like me, my daily wardrobe looks a bit different in 2020. If 2020’s wardrobe has an adjective, it would be: COZY!  Here’s a handful of gifts for the fashionista in your life (and if you’re shopping for yourself, this Mrs. Claus won’t spill the beans) that are sure to get the party started even if it means you’re getting fashionable just for a night in.

With cozy at the heart of it all, some of my favorite gifts this year are a classic thermal and some warm holiday socks. It’s perfect for “get up and go,” but also the best to snuggle up on the couch. For the fitness and stylish ones, I love Lululemon Align Leggings. They’re basically your second skin…if your skin perfectly lifted you in all the right places. To add some flair, I love gifting accessories, so you’ll always find those under my tree. Click the items above to shop some of my stylish faves.

  1. For my friend Jennifer. She makes me laugh; we sing our hearts out together, often as a duet; she listens to me rant about work, home, and life in general. She works hard and is raising 4 boys. She deserves a treat for herself.

  2. I would love to share this with my best friend. She is my accountability buddy when it comes to working out and what better way to say thank you!

  3. I would give this to my sister-in-law. Because I think it?s important for women to support women. It?s been a tough year for everyone. And if she didn?t want it I would gift it to myself. The pandemic has been a tough -especially when you?re in public safety and considered an essential worker. I have to stay away from family more times than not to keep them safe. I?ve been trying to do good things for myself. Made a gym in the basement that?s the first step to working on me in my downtime. Thanks Heidi ! Love watching your stories every day. So inspiring. Side note: I actually met you about a year ago in the restroom in Salt Lake city Airport. You were so gracious we took a picture together. You are a class act- keep it up!

  4. I would gift this to my daughter, Hope. She works so hard at everything she does. She stays committed to her family, friends, school & her workouts!! I would gift it to my self after her so I can get my butt back in shape. My daughter inspires me!

  5. Honestly, I would gift it to myself because I?ve been having such a hard time getting motivated to get healthy and in shape. I think This would be a game changer for me. ?

  6. Day 2 – My friends Jill and Alisha who are working on creating healthy habits. We are teachers and it hasn’t been easy to put our health/wellness/nutrition at the top of our priority list, with all of the challenges this past year has brought.

  7. I would gift these to my husband, sister and my friend. Unfortunately, my friend is going through an awful divorce and fitness has become her escape.

  8. I would gift this bundle to my husband. He?s really been working hard and trying to get in better shape. All while working and going to school. I?m definitely a great full and super proud wife who would love to give him a little boost to help his efforts.

    1. My son just told me he wants to learn how to skateboard so I would give it to him. Heck maybe I’d even get on to see what I could do ?

  9. Day-2 I would like to gift this gift to momma, DeeDee Hjelmstad. She is an amazing bf women who helps myself and her self with health and fitness. We team up with eachother and help eachother through my fitness instagram & working out together

  10. Day 1. My daughter because she deserves the world.
    Day 2. My son because he too, deserves the world.
    If only they realized a Mama’s love. : )
