Why Gift Giving Will Never Be the Same + A Giveaway


I know I did my September recap, but really guys... how is it October already? Between hectic life schedules, jam packed work schedules and trying to fit in a meal and workout, I find it almost impossible to take the time out and shop anymore. So when something important roles around, like a birthday, milestone, or any celebration, i'm usually driving buy the grocery store on the way to a party picking up a gift card, wine and some flowers. Not the most thoughtful thing. And when that doesn't happen? I tell tell them we'll have drinks the following week and I'll give it to them then. So dumb (how do I still have friends?)

When I had the chance to partner with Sesame Gifts and share them with you, it couldn't have come at a better time (I had just pulled that line on a friend the week prior). No more gifts that aren't thoughtful, and no more jumping around from store to store to find the perfect thing, it was all here.

Sesame gifts has an app, which was right up my alley for filling up time wasted on daily things (sitting in the waiting room for an appointment? in line at the store?). You shop, buy, and send to your pal, sister, mom, neighbor, whoever is deserving. I was so excited to see brands that I already purchase for myself in almost all of the boxes (even some brands I'm friends with, so cool!). The best part was, it only took a few minutes to order and I didn't have to be on my computer to do it, although you can be!

This little travel set I got in the mail for myself (well, i had to try it out for myself to make sure it was okay for my friends, right?) came perfectly packaged in it's box, just like a gift complete with a note... from myself to myself, but you get the idea;) I can't wait to take all of the little goodies in my carry on for our next trip.
