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!

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.

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.

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.

I?d share with my sissy!
Totally need the transformation for a year. But great that a trainer is posting things that help . More should do that. Thanks
Would love for my daughter Haley to get the skateboard for one reason. It?s Nostalgic. Haley loved skateboarding growing up. She maybe is a young adult now but that wont stop her from riding this baby. How fun it is for me to see her on one.
I would definitely give the longboard to my kids, particularly the two oldest for now. They would absolutely love it, and my sons skateboard got ruined at his grandma?s house.
I want to gift with my daughter. My grandkids would live the longboard and my grandson is such a gamer we have to really get him moving to do some stuff outdoors. This would be amazing for him . Thank you
I would gift this to myself because self-care! I need to pick up new hobbies during my long winter break from college and this would be a great one to keep me busy learning new tricks!
I would love to win the longboard for my 11y daughter. Biologically she is not my daughter, in June of 2020 we became legal guardian for her and her brother after 2 long years of noncompliant DCS case against their mother for severe abuse and neglect. One of my older sons was friends with their older brother. Recently having lost their dad to suicide, being friend of the family and seeing their struggles through multiple traumas I offered my home to my son’s friend and his two siblings if they ever needed someplace to go. In September of 2018 a knock on my door i was asked if they could stay for a couple days. Knowing it would probably be longer, we still did not hesitate and welcomed them in to our already crazy family of 5 kids and 2 adults. 2 years later we’re now permanent legal guardian. Having been through multiple traumas, years of abuse and neglect from birth till 9y one of the happiest times my daughter has is when she learned how to skateboard with her new dad/legal guardian and hanging out skating with mine and all the neighbor kids in front of our house. Currently we have a couple old skateboards from my older boys that she uses. I know she would love to have a new longboard to practice on.
I would love to give a longboard to my 15 year old son Collin. This year has been crazy, and stressful, especially for teenagers. Collin has been full of grace as we have asked him over the last few months to wear a mask, and limit his interactions with friends in order to keep his grandparents safe. He has kept a positive attitude as his soccer season got cut short in the spring, and now his high school season is delayed at best. At and age where it is easy to be frustrated with your parents he has really stepped up and made the most out of an incredibly hard year. Don?t get me wrong he is still a teenage boy, and can drive me totally nuts with his crazy antics, but he has really shown me a softer compassionate side through this whole ordeal. He is the oldest in our family and has really taken on a protector role for his 13 year old sister and 10, and 6 year old brothers. Since COVID he has really gotten into skateboarding, it is something no one can take away and it has brought him so much joy. He is currently in quarantine from being exposed at school and he now is doing tricks and jumps in my living room 24/7. His board has a permanent spot in our living room and no one is allowed to touch it or move it. He has asked for a new board for Christmas and I would love to make his dreams come true. I can?t give him his normal teenage life back just yet, or a normal soccer season…but with your help I could give him this and end his year on a bright note!
Day 3? I would gift the longboard to my nephew/godson. He learned to ride at a family camp out this past summer and loves it! I have been wracking my brain trying to think of a perfect gift for this special kiddo. Thanks Heidi!
Giveaway #3 the Longboard ?
I would love to give to my husband, he used to skateboard all the time when he was younger and he still does today but now he has an old board… so to give him a new one would be pretty awesome. Thanks Heidi!!
Hi
I am from British Columbia Canada. I would gift to myself. I have had a rough couple of years. I could use some joy.
The last 4yrs and 10mths has been very difficult for me due to fainting while i was 4 weeks into training for a triathlon. I suffered a concussion ( traumatic brain injury). It’s been a life changing.
2020 has made it so I am more housebound due to being immunocompromised. I haven’t felt like the old me. Feeling that sense of isolation. Unable to be as mobile as I once was.
I look forward to your posts and video’s as it encourages me. Heidi you have been such an inspiration to me. Have a fantastic Christmas and all the best in 2021 to you and your whole family.
Stay Strong!
Thank you ?
Giveaway 3- I would give to my oldest niece. I think this would be a great experience and way to get out and exercise and not even know it.
I’d love to be considered ?
I’d gift to my son, who suffered bullying this year. Nights in tears, it’s been tough.
I’m in Australia, so not sure if eligible. But bless you for giving to anyone fortunate enough to receive. Keep putting the good out and it’ll come back to you. ?
I would love to gift the longboard to my husband. He has sacrificed so much for our family this past year (joining the navy) and I?d love to show him that I appreciate him and see his sacrifices.
For my kids!?
