The Holiday Gift Shop Is Now Open

U.S. online holiday spending is expected to surge to more than $220 billion this year. Here is my family gift guide to help us navigate the holiday hustle and bustle.

Everyone is looking for a deal and Big

Lots, one of America’s largest home

discount retailers offer extreme

bargains on gifts for everyone on your

holiday shopping list.

I absolutely love this cozy Broyhill

reversible knit throw – a dupe for the

popular Barefoot Dreams blanket that is

all the rage – this is the perfect gift for

your best friend, parents, or even

yourself at a fraction of the price!

Big Lots truly carries some of the most

unique gift items. Check out this

popcorn maker. It’s perfect for a movie

night in.

You’ll also find top toy brands and save

on gifts for the kiddos.

I love this Barbie playset. It’s 32% less

at Big Lots than elsewhere!

Bluey: The Videogame and PAW Patrol

World are two recently released kids'

video games that are available now on all

consoles and PCs. My two boys

absolutely love playing them and as

both have couch co-op they can play

together so I would highly recommend this as a Christmas gift this year. 

In Bluey: The Videogame, your kids can

become immersed in the world of Bluey

in this interactive adventure game that

faithfully recreates iconic locations from

the show. With up to 4 players in couch

co-op it's the perfect game for all the

family.

Everyone’s favorite pups have

returned in the open-world adventure

game PAW Patrol World! Explore

Adventure Bay and beyond with up to 2

players in couch co-op in Outright

Game’s biggest PAW Patrol game yet!

Bedsure is one of my favorite gifts to give and receive. It’s a

budget-friendly and stylish brand. Their

blankets, bedding, and wearable items

come in so many different colors,

patterns, and sizes.

Bedsure's Flannel Fleece Blanket, Reversible Bed-in-a-Bag, Duvet Cover Set, and Wearable Blanket Hoodie (which comes in a wide variety of fabrics and colors including Sherpa Fleece and Sherpa Fleece Tall, Shaggy Sherpa and a Feather Yarn Poncho) —Search Bedsure on Amazon for all of Bedsure’s great deals.

I’m a mom and New York City woman…

so style is not lost on me.

Duluth Trading has flannel for the whole

family. The brand’s Free Swingin’

Flannel is 100% cotton that’s double-

brushed for superior softness and

comfort. They call it “Free Swingin’” for a reason

too, due to its Reach Gussets at the

underarms and deep shoulder pleats

that allow you to stretch, reach, move

and swing without any restriction.

Duluth’s Free Swingin’ Flannels are

offered in over 15 different patterns and

colors, so there’s one to match

everyone’s personal style.

You probably know 23andMe for its

DNA test that reveals where in the world

your ancestors came from. What you

might not know that it has provided

health reports for years.

They’re the only company that offers

direct-to-consumer health reports

authorized by the FDA.

23andMe provides personalized and

actionable genetic insights on health

conditions such as type 2 diabetes,

celiac disease, high cholesterol, and

many more.

This is health information you may not

know without a 23andMe test.

It’s the perfect gift for those looking to

live their best lives.
