Holiday Travel Tips

December 18, 2018

Disclosure: Ann Taylor LOFT provided free clothing for me to review.  However, all opinions stated here are my own.

Hi cuties, welcome to another holiday post!  With Christmas only a week away, I wanted to share a few of my holiday travel tips.  Whether you’re traveling by plane, train, or car, you’ll definitely want to keep these tips in mind!

My first tip is to dress COMFY.  Typically for the holidays, people travel a long way to be with friends and family so you’ll want to wear something that you can be comfortable in for the ride but that is also holiday get-together appropriate.  My favorite outfit for this is fun jeans and a festive sweater!  I picked both of these items up from Ann Taylor LOFT in the Annapolis Harbor shopping center last weekend and they’re so cute and so cozy.  Click here to check out all the adorable holiday attire at LOFT this season!

My second tip is to carefully choose your travel time.  Whether you’re hitting the road or booking flights, traveling during off-times will be best.  I know it’s hard to travel overnight or at times you wouldn’t normally, but you might save yourself a couple hours if you do.

The next tip is to make sure you pack your portable chargers.  You never know when you’re going to need them!  You could be stuck in stand-still traffic or on the runway at the airport for hours so it’ll definitely be nice to have that portable charger on hand if that does happen.

My fourth tip is to remember to relax.  It is Christmastime after all and you’re traveling to see your loved ones.  You’ll get there eventually so try to remember to take a breath and enjoy the ride!

That’s all for this week’s post, I hope you enjoyed!  Make sure you remember to click over to LOFT to see if you can find the perfect outfit for your holiday travel days this year.  Have a great week and I’ll see you next time!

Last Minute Holiday Gift Ideas

December 11, 2018

Hey hey hey cuties, happy Tuesday!  We’re getting closer and closer to Christmas (woohoo!) so I thought I’d share some of the ideas I have for last minute gifts.  No matter how well I prepare, I feel like there’s always at least one gift I forget about each year so keep reading to see what I do when that happens!

My first idea is a gift set from Sephora or Ulta.  Sephora and Ulta always have the cutest little holiday sets that you can run in and grab super quickly.  Whether it’s a face mask set or new makeup brushes, whatever you pick out will be perfect for the makeup-loving gal in your life!

My next idea is anything from Amazon Prime.  Amazon Prime is amazing and is extremely convenient for a last-minute type of person.  As long as the item is eligible, you can order something and have it to your door the next day, which is super nice when you don’t have time to dash to the store.

Another idea is gift cards.  Gift cards are great and something everyone can use – especially if you get Visa gift cards or gas gift cards.  They’re also good because they can literally be picked up on the way to the holiday party you’re attending!

My next last minute gift idea is an experience!  Tickets to a show, concert, or sporting event are so easy to purchase online and you don’t even need to wrap them!  Quickly print them out and stick them in a Christmas card and you’re good to go!

My last gift idea is a cute one… board games!  This may not be the best gift idea for everyone but if you’re missing a gift for a family member, buying them a fun board game might be perfect because you can break it out at the family holiday party and have so much fun with everyone!

That’s all for this week’s post, I hope you enjoyed!  I have a few more holiday posts coming in the next few weeks so if you have anything you’d like to see, make sure to comment below.  Have a great week!

Stocking Stuffer Gift Guide

December 4, 2018

Hey hey hey cuties, welcome back to another holiday post here on Allison in Wonderland!  In past years, I’ve done holiday gift guides for him and for her but this year, I decided to take it a little further and create a stocking stuffer gift guide as well.  These gift ideas could work for guys or girls, friends or loved ones, so let’s get into it!

My first stocking stuffer gift idea is a cute t-shirt.  T-shirts are the best because they can be dressed up or down, worn to the gym or to work… they’re great and they can easily be rolled up and stuffed in a stocking!  The one I’ve been wearing non-stop is a comfy white tee that says American Honey from a company called For the Birds (click here).  For the Birds has lots of cute tee options but this one’s my fave!  It’s $32 and, if you use the code FTBINWONDERLAND15, you can get 15% off any of their tees!

My next gift idea is the HP Sprocket.  If you’ve never heard of the HP Sprocket, it’s a mini portable photo printer (click here).  It’s approximately the size of your palm and connects to your smartphone via bluetooth so you can print the photos on your phone on demand.  How cool!  I don’t have my own promo code for this item but if you use the code ZOELLA10, I believe you’ll get 10% off your order of the 2nd Edition HP Sprocket.

The third stocking stuffer gift idea is a watch.  Lately, I’ve been loving a company called MVMT.  They have watches and sunglasses (two of my favorite things!) and their products are so trendy!  I have the Solis watch (click here) and the Icon sunnies (click here) and I’ve been wearing both non-stop since they came in the mail.  Both of these items would be so great to throw in someone’s stocking!  If you’re interested in ordering, use the code ALLISANTMYER15 for $15 off anything on their site!

Another item that would be great for a stocking is a jade roller.  I just ordered a jade roller set from Amazon and it cost less than $10!  These are very popular this season and it sounds so relaxing to think about rolling your face and neck while sitting on the couch, watching your favorite film – especially around the holidays.

My last stocking stuffer gift idea is an Ember Ceramic Mug.  This mug is temperature controlled so you can keep your coffee or hot chocolate at just the right temperature all day long.  They have ones to use in your home or office but they also have travel mug options so they’ve got everyone covered (click here)!  I think this is one of my favorite gift ideas I’ve shared this season!

That’s all for today’s post, I hope you enjoyed!  Did you get any good ideas?  I know I’ll definitely be using some of these ideas for my friends and family this year.  I’ll be back next week with another holiday post so stay tuned to see what it is.  Have a great week!
