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. I would give this gift to my sister who is a nurse! She works with covid patients in a hospital and is required to wear masks at all times. She has sensitive skin and due to breathing in the same air causing moisture to build up on her skin she has been breaking out. She has also been faced with many challenges throughout this past year and being able to give her the facial device would be such a great surprise for her! She has recently gotten into skin care and gifting her a facial would make her so happy and thankful, happy tears would definitely be present from both of us and my heart would flutter knowing how much this would mean to her. Thank you Heidi for doing these giveaways, you will truly be leaving a positive impact on other peoples lives and for that I am grateful.

  2. I would love to win!!!! I am a nurse!! I don?t usually make myself a priority. This year has been especially difficult especially with covid. Our family has suffered. I also just lost my sweet best friend (family pet) to a car accident which I witnessed. As a result of the accident I also had to have surgery myself trying to help her. Thanks for doing the give away. So generous!!!!!

    1. I would absolutely love to gift this to my best friend Darcy Bates! She is an incredible woman, wife, mother and friend. Darcy is an assistant to the director of a school in the valley that services special needs children ages K-12 and somehow never speaks a complaint about her days, even though we all know that they are filled to the brim with stress. As well as being incredible in her career life, Darcy is the most amazing mother- she sacrifices herself on a daily basis to make sure that her daughters know that they are loved and adored, whether it be from her involvement in the PTO to being her daughters softball team?s mom. She spends countless hours going to every practice, every event, and every game. Thank you Heidi for thinking of all of us hardworking women who forget to just take a moment to breathe let alone pamper ourselves!

  3. I would gift this beauty bundle to my great friend Angela. She is a busy mama who slays, day in and day out! Works full time, goes to school, raising 3 children, a wife and just an awesome and kind human being. She deserves to pamper herself and take some much needed time for herself. This girl is amazing and has the best of the all the qualities you could ever ask for.??

  4. I would totally gift this to my amazing Mama! She works so hard every year and deserves to be extra pampered this year 🙂
    I was supposed to get married this past summer and with the whole pandemic situation, we have now postponed two times and I’m not sure how I would have gone through this process without my amazing Mom supporting me (emotionally…and financially) the whole way! She deserves to be spoiled a little extra this year 🙂

  5. My daughter needs pampering in all ways. She?s one of the ?poor 2020 HS seniors? who missed out on so much. Now? She?s a college freshman online?she was supposed to move to Loyola in Chicago but it?s virtual because of Covid so she?s still home. Online school is hard. She?s depressed. She?s beautiful inside and out but doesn?t see that right now. She?s who I would shower with gifts. ??

  6. I don?t usually spend much on me when it comes to skincare so I would probably gift this stuff to myself ?. So many fun things to try!

  7. I would gift the beauty bundle to myself, raising two pubescent boys with autism . When I saw that wand and what it did for Maddox it would be the perfect tool to help me get their skin back check.

  8. Day 4. My dear sweet friend who like me 8 years ago, will be going through a divorce soon with kids involved. Not much else shakes your core, questions your worth and gives you guilt like no other. I hope a spa package would remind her of HER. : )
