Secret Santa Gift Ideas

It seems that every year, Secret Santa becomes more and more popular. And to be honest, I love it! This year I am taking part in a blogger Secret Santa, and these are some of the items I got for mine! I’m actually really excited with how it all turned out. These ideas are in no way just for bloggers, in fact, they will work for just about anyone! (Also, as I was editing these pictures, some of them are out of focus and I have no idea why. Technology, again, just didn’t want to cooperate.)

Stationery. This is a no-brainer for bloggers. We love cute stationery to take pictures of and just have around. Tuesday Morning has a wonderful selection of tumblr-worthy stationery, and they’re really affordable! That’s a plus, especially for a college student.

The Target Dollar Spot is amazing when it comes to affordable and adorable stationery. I got the cards, page flags, and note pads for $1 a piece. What a steal!

FUZZY SOCKS. I don’t know who doesn’t enjoy a nice pair of fuzzy socks. I got these at the Dollar Tree. Yes, you read that right. The Dollar Tree. They’re so so so soft and nice neutral colors. Each pair was only $1!

Candy. I found out what kind of candy that my person like, and I basically themed the entire box around it. She said she loved anything peppermint. I found these chocolate bark/covered graham crackers in the Target holiday section. They, too, were only $1. The gummy peppermint candies are also from Target and they just looked like they’d be fun to include in her gift!

Hot Chocolate. This is such an easy, simple gift, especially because you can find hot chocolate in so many flavors. My mom found this pack of four at Costco for $10. A really awesome deal! I included on packet from each to give her a nice selection.

Also, can we just take a moment to acknowledge how adorable the packaging is??

I also included a couple packets of the marshmallow hot chocolate. Again, to add more variety. I wanted to include a cute coffee mug, but I was really afraid that it would break during shipping. Instead, I opted for a plastic to-go coffee cup. I also crocheted that cute cup holder thing. I don’t really know what to call it.

To top everything off, I got two boxes of mini candy canes to put in the box as filler. I really think that this tied everything together. To see what is basically part two of this post, go check out my gift wrapping ideas post. I show the finished product of how I wrapped all of this!

Taking some time outside of CrossFit to drill down and focus on my weightlifting technique. Snatches and cleans have always been a little intimidating and I’ve been scared to push myself on them for fear of injury. Looking forward to seeing how my lifts progress over the next few months!

Oh, and mental health is doing fantastically, too!

@cattyelizabeth5 and I are back after 3 long months, and we’re so excited to share the first episode of season 5 of Girls Talk! It’s a good one and a pretty great way to spend an hour of your quarantine 💁‍♀️
These photos were taken THREE YEARS AGO... honestl These photos were taken THREE YEARS AGO... honestly it feels like yesterday. I was 9 months in to my fitness journey, tracked macros like it was my job, and religiously went to the gym 5-6 days a week. Seeing this pop up in my “Memories” was just what I needed today because being stuck at home because of my susceptibility to lung problems and #covid_19 has left me highly unmotivated to workout...
