I don’t know about you, but the craziness of 2020 and 2021 has made me really embrace the holiday season. Give me all the cozy things, cute decorations, yummy scents, warm drinks, and cheery lights! I was pretty much ready to decorate for Christmas on November 1, and while that did not happen (😂), I have been stocking up on all things holiday. (I love walking around stores and looking at all the holiday displays—anyone else?) Here are a few of my fave finds!

CHRISTMAS COFFEE SHIRT
I love a fun Christmas coffee drink—in fact, I’ve probably had Starbucks more in the past few weeks than I have all year! So I couldn’t resist this shirt from Emma and Anna Apparel on Etsy! I may not have started decorating on November 1, but I did indeed wear this shirt, and that counts for something, right? 🎄
ILUME BOULANGERIE CANDLE IN ESPRESSO
Speaking of coffee, I’m always on the quest for a good coffee candle that’s the right mix of sweet and burnt (😂), and this one that I randomly found at Anthropologie does it for me! Even Pops likes it, and he is pretty anti-candle. (He refers to them as “contraband” because he knows I burn them when he’s not home!)
OLD NAVY CHRISTMAS PAJAMAS
Old Navy has SO MANY good holiday pj options right now! I stopped in on Tuesday and ended up getting two pairs of pj pants, only to find out later that one is actually “men’s.” (I should have been suspicious when it had pockets!) Don’t be deterred, though—my usual size fit me fine, I only discovered it was men’s when I couldn’t find it on their site for this post! Anyway, I got both the Men’s Printed Flannel Pajama Pants in a tree farm motif (“Express YourELF”) and the Matching Printed Flannel Jogger Pajama Pants for Women in a kind of fair isle-y pattern (“Blue Trees”). Annnnd I picked up this Christmas coffee tee (or is it hot chocolate?) because apparently you can’t have enough of those! 😂 Pjs were 50% off on Tuesday, and that may well be higher now that it’s Black Friday!
NATIVE’S SUGAR COOKIE BODY WASH
I had never tried anything from Native before, but when I saw this at Target a few weeks ago, I was intrigued—and knew I had to pounce because limited edition stuff seems to just vanish instantaneously. (Indeed, the Target website now lists it as sold out everywhere near me, so fingers crossed that you have better luck if you’re interested!) Cookie scents can easily be too fake or nauseating, but I think this one smells delish and pretty true to a sugar cookie. And the scent doesn’t last that long, which is actually a plus in my book. (That’s why there’s nothing from Bath and Body Works on this list, haha. Strong scents give me a headache after awhile.)
GLOSSIER BALM DOT COM IN COOKIE BUTTER
This one is also limited edition, but it appears to still be available online! Like other Balm Dot Coms, the formula of this is just lovely—not too thick, not too thin, and not sticky. There’s not much color payoff either, but that’s fine with me (we all know I love a bold lip 😂), and the cookie butter scent is delightful. Actually, now that I think about it, I don’t believe I’ve ever had Trader Joe’s famous Cookie Butter before. That obviously needs to change! Nom nom for us, David!
What are your favorite holiday finds this year? Happy Black Friday! xo
