It’s AWESOME!
It’s AWESOME!
Happy Wednesday everybody!
Last year at the end of the Anniversary Sale I dedicated a day to Christmas presents! It was a big hit, so I thought it made sense to do it again this year.
I’ve already bought 3 presents his year. And I tell you, it was hard to spend the money initially on Christmas presents…in July….but when the items arrived I was all “Yeah, Baby!”
I’m ordering a couple of more items today! (I can’t tell you what I’m ordering, because the people I’m ordering for read this blog!)
And listen, if you’re not the kind of girl who orders Christmas presents in July, maybe you are the kind of girl who orders something special for herself in July. Just because it’s a great deal!
#i’mthatkindofgirl
🙂
Some of the items you are going to see today I talked about previously during my sale coverage, but if I think the items would make great presents too, I’m talking about them again! Now I just want you to think about them in a different way, as gifts instead of for yourself.
Although if you are buying Christmas presents early today, you should probably reward yourself with a little something happy for yourself.
#it’sonlyfair
Some of the items are new (I held on to them specifically for today) and right now is the first time you will be seeing them!
Let’s get started!
Click HERE for these Tasha hinged stone bracelets. Perfect for stacking!
$29.90 / After Sale $48
Click HERE for these Kate Spade statement rings.
I’m a size 6 ring, and normally adjustable rings like this don’t fit me well, but this one did!
$37.90 / After Sale $58
I love THIS bag.
The price point is great for a real leather bag, and it’s a great neutral and perfect everyday bag!
A couple of people sent in a picture of themselves with this bag for the Score Report, and they love it!
$151.90 / After Sale $228
Clothes are often hard to buy for others, but listen…..buying the MUST HAVE Shirt for somebody else is a no brainer.
AND THEY RE-STOCKED THE BLACK!
If you don’t have a black MUST HAVE shirt, get it today before it sells out again.
I’m pretty sure most sizes are on back order, but don’t let that stop you! You will still get it in plenty of time for fall!

I’m pretty sure most sizes are on back order, but don’t let that stop you! You will still get it in plenty of time for fall!
If you get it as a gift, your loved one will think of you every single time they wear this shirt. Which will be A LOT. Possibly 3 x per week. Not that I would know anything about that.
Click HERE.
$37.90 / After Sale $58
THIS shirt is also very forgiving, super flattering, and easy to buy for others.
I’m wearing an x-small in this shirt, so I would suggest sizing down.
Wouldn’t you feel comfortable buying such a cute and easy shirt like this for your mom or sister?

$29.90 / After Sale $48
A designer wallet would be an awesome Christmas gift!
Click HERE for all of them still remaining in the sale!
Click HERE for some darling Kate Spade cell phone covers.
Click HERE for the Kate Spade initial necklace! $37.90 / After Sale $58
Maybe you know a young girl who just got married or is engaged? Get her the first letter of her new last name!
Giving an AMAZING watch for a Christmas gift to a loved one would be SO FLIPPING FUN!
Wouldn’t they just die?!?
Click HERE for all watches remaining in the sale. Lots of great ones still available!
THIS might be my favorite Michael Kors watch in the sale. It’s simple, clean, and classic.
$149.90 / After Sale $225
THESE are definitely my favorite bracelets.
$17.90 / After Sale $28
I tried on THIS Fossil watch and totally FELL IN LOVE WITH IT!
It’s a great neutral leather band, and I just loved the way it looked! This watch is greatness.

If you don’t have one for yourself, your missing out.

Y’all.
THIS nude on nude Bobbi Brown set is AMAZING and is ONLY $85! But its a $228 value!
CRAZY GOOD!
I gave one of the Bobbi Brown sets to my sister last year as a Christmas gift, and it comes packaged so nice (see below)! It really makes for a very nice presentation for a gift!
Click HERE for the other Bobbi Brown items in the sale including a brush set and skin care.
I am also soooooo happy with THESE Trish lip glosses I bought. The colors are GORGEOUS, they go on smooth, aren’t sticky, and they don’t have a bad taste! Give all 5 as 1 gift, or separate them out as stocking stuffers! They are the perfect size to throw in your make-up bag!
(Oh…and you see that bracelet? I’ll be talking about it next week. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT, and I’ll have a discount code for you next week!)
When going through the score report entries, I realized that THESE would make amazing Christmas gifts (and some of you smart ladies had already found them and realized it)!
#smartypants
Kathryn, one of my favorite readers, got if for herself.
Look how cute and cozy she looks cuddled up under it!
We have a Barefoot Dreams blanket at home, and my hubby and my kid fight over it.
You would think my hubby would let the 5 year old have the blanket, but you’d be wrong.
AND LISTEN. There’s another blanket on the back of the couch RIGHT NEXT to where they are arguing…yet it’s not a Barefoot Dreams blanket, so neither one is interested.
Click HERE for Barefoot Dreams blankets for your bed (full and queen size)
Click HERE for all Barefoot Dreams items remaining in the sale!
Okay.
I have an idea for everybody…
HOW FUN would it be to give pajamas to your family on Christmas Eve so you can all wear them on Christmas morning? So fun, right?
Click HERE for all PJ Salvage pjs in the sale (I’m wearing PJ Salvage in the pic).
Click HERE for other pjs in the sale for both men and women.
Click HERE for other pjs in the sale for both men and women.
These next two items were soooooooo comfy and super soft.
They weren’t silky, but they weren’t just regular cotton either. They were like buttah. 🙂
Click HERE for the henley baseball nightshirt. $44.90 / After Sale $68
Click HERE for a great chemise (not pictured).
Click HERE for the robe! This robe really is amazing and comes in solids too.

Here’s a hint, buy these as sets, but hand them out individually to teachers, friends, family members, whomever!
I know I highlighted this in the box above, but when a reader sent me this picture, I knew y’all would want to see it! It looks like she might be wearing it with the pink MUST HAVE shirt!

They are so cheap at under $24 they can even be a nice stocking stuffer!
And to wrap things up, I just want to remind everybody that even though the Anniversary Sale blardigans are no longer in stock, the regular blardigans are.
And even at full price, THEY MAKE THE BEST CHRISTMAS GIFTS EVER.

Now before you all go, I want to leave you with a picture and an e-mail.
I received this picture as a score report entry and it just made me smile.
HOW PRECIOUS is this picture!!!!

I asked if there was a story behind the pic, and this is the e-mail I received in return:
Blardigan story from Amanda
Thank you Sheaffer! I’m glad
you like it 😉 . You know there is actually a story behind this. I had
my daughter Noel 6 months ago after going through fertility treatments
for three years. After our second ivf I was able to get pregnant with
her. My mother in law bought me my first Blardigan while I was
recovering from my c section in the hospital. My sister in law told me
they saw it on your blog and that I had to have it! Well they were right
and I have been reading your blog ever since. When I saw the Blardigan
was in the anniversary sale I went from store to store to find one lol.
Then this last Monday we found out that my grandmother has uterine
cancer. After a lot of tears I tried to think of something special I
could do for her and immediately thought of the Blardigan.
Your blog brings me some much needed
happiness and takes my mind off whats going on for a little while. This
picture just shows that even something as small as a piece of clothing
can bring happiness and comfort during trying times. Thank you for
sharing the blardigan with us! Your blog touches people more than you
know 🙂

Amanda!
Thank you so much for taking the time to e-mail me such a beautiful story!
Prayers for your grandma!
And congratulations on your little miracle baby. She is truly precious!
Okay everybody…see you back here on Friday for the Score Report!
I am starting to make all of the collages today.
Pray for me. 🙂
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
I think this post totally gives me the right to listen to Michael Buble's Merry Christmas CD all day, right? It does. If you stop by this afternoon, I'll be cuddling with my blaridgan, drinking cocoa and singing Jingle Bells with Michael. Merry Christmas!
Tab & Erika says
I want all of this for Christmas!!! I'm telling Tab right now!
Natalie says
THAT PICTURE. Too stinkin sweet!
April Parrish says
You've put me in the Christmas spirit on this July morning! You featured some great stuff! What a sweet story about the Blardigan and her sweet baby girl is adorable…what a BLESSING!
Sheaffer, you're doing so much more than you probably realize with this blog…Blessings to you my friend!
Have a great day! 🙂
Sheaffer says
Thank you April for being such a loyal reader. I appreciate you and your sweet words so very much!!!!

Stacy P. says
Hey- Just wanted to send you a big THANK YOU for all the work you put into these blog posts. I really appreciate it…and I know many others do too. You've made shopping so much easier and less painful. 🙂
Hope you have a super great Wednesday!
Sheaffer says
Thank you Stacy!!!!!! So nice of you to take the time to leave such a kind comment!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
kristine says
Such great gift ideas! I just received the must have shirt in black, and it is not only cute but super comfortable! I totally wasn't expecting that! Also, Target currently has a look alike version of the sweatshirt in cream…I just scored one for $20!
Candace says
If my hubby was on FB, I'd have to tag him my list: the Clarisonic, the PJ set, the baseball nightshirt and robe, and the lip gloss. That blanket sounds super special too! So touched by Amanda's story and that precious picture of her and her little one. Girl, you know I am not a huge shopper and I am not a big blog reader, but like Amanda, I find myself reading yours for the same reason she gave. "Your blog brings me some much needed happiness and takes my mind off what's going on for a little while." You're a Proverbs 31 woman in many ways, but I do specifically Iove this verse for you: She is CLOTHED with dignity and strength, and she LAUGHS without fear of the future (vs 25). =)
Sheaffer says
Candace! Stop it! You are too sweet to me! And the thought of the blog bringing smiles to people's faces is just awesome. So happy Jami introduced you to the blog last year!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Narci says
That story!! So sweet! What a precious mama and her baby! 🙂
Bekah Bruce says
I want to send this entire post out to my family as my Christmas list. Seriously! AMAZING!! 🙂
Angela Betlewicz says
I want this Fossil watch and it's now sold out 🙁 I will keep trying! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Annie Cox says
I am wanting that gold MK watch! I need to buy it for myself for Christmas…ha! I've already started shopping for Christmas too. It does seem weird to already start shopping but I know I will be thankful come December. By the way, I am so mad at myself because I just realized I missed the dealine for the score report. Ugh!
Sara Laverty says
Um that sweet story about the blardigan!!!!! Wow. So sweet. This makes it two weeks in a row I have gotten teary eyed while reading blogs about the anniversary sale! 😉 My last package of goodies from the sale should hopefully be arriving today. I'm soooo excited! 🙂
plfuller6 says
I could kick myself 1000 times for not ordering the Blardigan! And reading Amanda's story makes me want to order a full-price one ASAP…I am definitely asking the Mr. to get me one for Christmas!
Amy Dalon says
I caved and bought the sweatshirt that you and Candace are wearing- I've been trying to resist it because I had already bought SO much stuff during the sale, but it kept calling my name, lol! And when you posted the picture of you and Candace again, I knew it MUST be a sign. So I caved. I have to return the Bebe moto jacket in a small (keeping a medium), so I'll be in the store anyway- it will be an easy pick up. Can you see all the justifying going on?? Haha!
dresselfamily.blogspot.com says
first off, what as sweet picture and story, so precious!!
oh, there were so many items that need to b on my list!!
the Kate spade initial necklace, the pjs, those candles, a clarasonic, a watch.. by the way, I loved the fossill watch!!
im tempted with the leggings.. I dint own a pair of leggings.. say what….
thanks sheaffer.. that was so fun!!!
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
Hmm, this rainy day could put me in the Christmas spirit somehow. 🙂 I'm considering another MK watch on my list. You may have just convinced me. And yes, we are SO on for Mi Cocina once the kids are back in school!
Amy Dalon says
And ugh, just realized I missed the score report deadline! Oh well- there's always next year's sale! 😉
Kristi says
Great Christmas gift ideas!!! You're the best!

Because Shanna Said So says
You are so good and kind of my hero for shopping in July for Christmas. I am THAT girl that waits until two weeks before. YUCK!! You kind of have me excited to actually, possibly grab a few things before the sale ends!! 🙂
Kim says
I am still hemming and hawing about getting myself the Clarisonic…but it doesn't look like it is actually priced any differently now than after the sale at $149. Everything else has an after sale price listed, but not the Clarisonic. Any idea why?
Sheaffer says
Hi Kim! It says they are typically a $221 value! I received mine as a birthday gift from my sister, so I have no idea how much she paid for it?!?
Anonymous says
Thanks for all of your great ideas! I actually bought that exact short-sleeve shirt for my mom for Christmas yesterday, lol.

Andrea Paige says
My blardigan sticks to itself (I air dry it), any tips to help with that?
Sheaffer says
Hi Andrea! Mine doesn't do that. I pop it in the dryer for like 5 minutes, and then I air dry it. Maybe that's the secret? Hope this helps!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Lauren says
Hey Sheaffer, great post! So many things that catch my eye! What size are you in the Hue leggings? Thanks!
Sheaffer says
I'm a small Lauren!
Jeanie says
What an adorable picture of Amanda and her darling miracle baby! It looks like it should be an ad in a magazine or catalog. Prayers and best wishes for her grandmother.

talking about.Christmas…
haveu done.a post about knee high boots, withsome kind of heel???i'm onthe look out!!!!!
ps, I ordered the leggings!
Sheaffer says
I haven't yet…but I definitely need to! I just never got a chance to try them on during the sale! I will hopefully find a couple of pairs to talk about by late August or early September! Thanks for the nudge!

Sheaffer 🙂
t-lu says
I noticed the Pleione blouse is hand wash. Was wondering if you tried laundering on a gentle cycle? I love the shirt but would rather leaving the washing to my machine 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi there! I dry clean mine some, and I wash it at home some. When I wash it at home I just throw it in cold with the regular wash. I dry it for like 5 minutes then take it out, hang it up, and let it air dry the rest of the way. It does perfectly this way!!!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
t-lu says
Thanks for the reply! Adding to my cart right now!!
Melodee says
I just love your blog and your posts. I am off to go online shopping at Nordies now….thanks for the reviews haha! Really though, you are just darling and I love reading your blog!
audra wray says
Christmas in July!? Shopping with Santa alerts already!? SIGN. ME. UP!!!
Elaine says
Love all you do. I didn't take a picture but I bought the Purple Michael Kors coat.
love it. My family thought I was crazy buying a coat in the summer. but what a deal.
Lauren S says
Is it too late to send score reports? I've been trying to email mine all night and it keeps bouncing back:(
Sheaffer says
The deadline was Tuesday. So sorry! 🙁
Not sure why they are bouncing back. My e-mail is pinteresttoldmeto@yahoo.com
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Lauren says
Do you wear a Petite in the must have blouse?
Would the other colors work with the leggings?
Thank you!!!
Sheaffer says
Hi Lauren! I do not wear a petite. I wear a regular x-small. I tried to wear mine with leggings last year and I didn't like how it looked. Sorry!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
