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

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

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.
- Ruby approved Tangle Pets Brush (on-sale under $15),
- COMFY (on sale $40 available in multiple colors/patterns)
- Coil Pack Hair Ties (love this 20 piece set for under $10)

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.

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.

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.

I would gift the long board to my 13 year old daughter!! She is so bold, sassy, resilient, and asks for so little. She told me the other day she wanted a long board because all her friends have one and she feels left out but she is a girl even though most her best friends are boys. I had to correct her and tell her no matter what the item is, any boy or girl can use anything they want! So this gift would be for her, to show her, that no matter what gender, she can have and do anything she wants!!!
Great giveaways! I would gift the king board to my 13 year old daughter. She recently has gotten into roller skating and wants a longboard. I would gift the beauty items to my mom. She lives alone and has some health issues. I think it would brighten her day!
How awesome is this! I would love to gift the long board to my trainer David who is the most adventurous, brave, and kind person I know. He has taught me to be fearless and has literally transformed my life! I’m so grateful for him and I am always looking for ways to bless him the way that he has blessed me.
I would LOVE to give the longboat to my daughter and share the facial stuff for a mommy daughter day.
Long board I would gift to my niece who is 13 and has been asking for one. I used to ride andd it would be so fun to share that with her.
Hello greetings from Tucson Arizona I would gift this to my husband I know he would love this bundle he is more disciplined than I am and after being full time student and having a full time job he really deserves it, thank you Heidi by the way the haircut is everything I?ve been wanting to cut my long hair and you just inspired me to do it(I still have to find the right hairstylist but I will cut it)YOU LOOK AMAZING ?
Truthfully….I need this in my life….so I would gift it too myself 🙂
I love everything about this beauty lover basket. It?s the only thing grounding me during these uncertain times and I would most def share all these things with my mom and sisters for a little relax and unwind spa night!
I would gift the beauty bundle to myself!! Always giving, it?s time to give to myself.
I would gift the board to my son!! He has been wanting something like this!! The beauty gift, would go to me!! As a mom, I never get to pamper myself very often and this year even less so having something at home would be perfect!!
Hello from NortheastOhio! I’m so thankful for your kindness Heidi especially in the terrible pandemic. We all need a little pick-me-up & to pay it forward. I know I do. So much terminal sicknesses in my family. I would love the ultimate beauty bundle. I need it. I’m 56 so you know every little bit helps right! Lol. I hope you your family stay safe & healthy.
I would like to gift myself with the Transform package & my daughter, Courtney who is 23 plus my 9 year old son Mordekai whose bicycle was recently stolen from beneath our carport. I know that it sounds selfish to ask for myself but I FINALLY am trying to learn to love myself without all the hurtful harsh words I’ve called out to myself in the past and I unfortunately was placed on disability last September which has been very difficult to learn to live within the amount that I receive. I want so badly to be able to work and I’ve continually told myself that this IS ONLY temporary but it’s not ever going to be different if I don’t do some serious shifting in my thinking, my behaviors and mostly the way in which I treat myself. The terrible awful things that I say to myself aloud and silently I wouldn’t say to someone who wronged me in the worst ways possible but yet I let the hurtful words spit out of my mouth freely all day and night about over my own life. I KNOW NOW that I DO HAVE TO LOVE MYSELF before I will be of any real value to anybody else from years of loving everybody but myself which left me emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally and financially not only bankrupt but in the deficit. I want to learn to see myself as a woman who is valuable regardless of my past present or future and I want to overcome this hurtful harmful way of seeing myself so that once I have I can mentor young woman about the importance of self love and self worth. I can’t afford to sign up for this myself because I have my disability check gone the day it comes in all spent on bills. There aren’t any bills that I could set aside in order to buy this for myself. I would also like to include my daughter because she holds me accountable on things. I want her to have a much easier life than I have and I don’t EVER want her to feel about herself in the way that I feel about who I am. I feel so bad for my 9 year old because he is stuck with me and my health issues that have confined me to our apartment. I’ve become a recluse for many many reasons from immobility having a broken foot for 1 1/2 years before getting a second opinion finally found it, to gaining 150 pounds in that time as well as muscle atrophy from the immobility and a condition that makes my hands, feet and face feel like they are truly on fire if I’m in temperature higher than 65 degrees or if I’m moving around at all. He had his bicycle stolen and I’ve not been able to buy him another one, so a skate board would be great for him to get outside on to do. I need this and want this so badly for myself but won’t be able to buy it and my parent’s in there 70’s just spent $14,000 on dental work for me so I can’t ask them for anything more.
Ohmygosh. My boys want skateboards/longboards! They are so rough and hard on the beginning boards we have. I need that board! ?
I would like to offer this gift to my bestie Lily @limoneth because she had a very rough year. She can’t work because she is a server in a restaurant that is currently closed due to government restrictions (covid) and she is taking care of her sick dad. She can’t afford this right now and she needs it.
Thank you !
