Mastering the Art of List-Making

Before you plunge into the delightful chaos of gift shopping, arm yourself with the strategic power of lists. Take a moment to jot down the names of everyone on your gift-giving list, categorizing them into family, friends, co-workers, and yes, the unsung hero – yourself. Lists are your secret weapon against last-minute panic-buying and the haunting “Did I forget someone?” realization. Having a clear roadmap ensures a smoother, stress-free journey through the shopping jungle.

Organization is key – not just for gifts but for your sanity. Break down your list further with gift ideas, preferred stores, and budget ranges. This detailed approach transforms your list from a mere checklist to a personalized game plan, making each shopping expedition purposeful and efficient. Remember, a well-organized list is not just a tool; it’s your personalized holiday shopping GPS, guiding you through the bustling lanes of holiday deals and steals.

Online Shopping Savvy

Say goodbye to crowded malls and hello to the wonders of online shopping – the superhero of stress-free gift procurement. Begin your quest early to avoid the virtual traffic jams, and keep a vigilant eye out for those magical free shipping deals. Whether it’s cozy blankets for Grandma or superhero action figures for the kiddos, everything you need is just a click away. Your couch becomes the throne, and you, the queen of efficient gift conquests.

Online shopping is not just a convenience; it’s a strategic advantage. Dive into the rabbit hole of online reviews and recommendations. Uncover hidden gems, explore unique boutiques, and snag exclusive deals that may elude the in-store warriors. Embrace the digital realm, and let the packages roll in like delightful surprises, eliminating the need for last-minute dashes to overcrowded stores. Remember, your laptop is your magic wand, transforming the hectic holiday shopping experience into a cozy, click-and-deliver adventure.

For an easy shopping adventure, head to adidas and check off everyone on your list! There are some great deals going on this holiday season, and you will find something for every budget!


Personalized Presents FTW

Step up your gift-giving game by embracing the charm of personalized presents. Consider unique gifts that align with the recipient’s interests or hobbies. Whether it’s a customized photo album, monogrammed mugs, or even a personalized playlist, these thoughtful gifts speak volumes. They turn a seemingly generic gift into something truly special, showcasing your consideration and effort without requiring a PhD in giftology.

Personalization is more than just adding a name; it’s about infusing your gifts with sentimental value. Share a cherished memory through a custom-made item or pick a gift that reflects their individuality. The effort you put into personalization transcends the material, creating a lasting impression that goes beyond the unwrapping moment. Imagine the joy on their faces as they unwrap a gift uniquely tailored to their tastes – it’s not just a present; it’s a memory in the making.


Gift Cards: The Power Move

When in doubt, unleash the undeniable power of the gift card. It’s the ultimate stress-buster for both giver and receiver. Not only does it ensure the recipient gets precisely what they want, but it also saves you from the agony of decision-making. Pro tip: Amp up the style by grabbing a bunch of chic holiday-themed gift card holders. Suddenly, a practical gift transforms into a stylish statement, leaving you with the power to make everyone happy.

Gift cards aren’t just a fallback; they’re a strategic maneuver. Elevate the experience by choosing cards from their favorite stores or those offering unique experiences. Turn the practical into the memorable, making the gift card a thoughtful gesture rather than a last-minute concession. It’s not about taking the easy way out; it’s about giving the gift of choice and enjoyment. Think of gift cards as your golden ticket to their happiness – it’s not just a card; it’s an invitation to a shopping spree tailored to their desires.

If you have a sports enthusiast in your life, an easy option would be a gift card to adidas so they can get their fitness on in style. There are options for kids, women and men, so don’t feel like their options would be limited!


Self-Gifting Extravaganza

Moms, this one’s for you! Amidst the joy you’re spreading to others, don’t forget to treat yourself. Sneak in a little self-gifting extravaganza amidst the shopping chaos. Whether it’s a cozy blanket, a fancy coffee maker, or that guilt-free guilty pleasure book you’ve been eyeing – you deserve it. Consider it a reward for conquering the holiday gift-shopping mountain. Remember, a happy mom is a gift to the whole family.

Self-gifting isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity. It’s not about indulgence; it’s about acknowledging your efforts and embracing moments of self-care. Treat yourself as you would treat your dearest friend. Whether it’s a small trinket or a more substantial investment, let self-gifting be a reminder that you’re deserving of joy and pampering, especially during the holiday hustle. Picture yourself unwrapping a delightful gift chosen with love and care – it’s not just an item; it’s a celebration of you.

You can’t go wrong with these trending products and fan favorites! You deserve a little pick me up. After all, you’re the glue that holds the family together.

Meet Jackie

Hello! I'm a wife, mom of 2 boys, coffee and wine lover who lives in the Nashville, TN area. After growing up in Chicago and moving to St. Louis for 6 years, we decided that Music City was our new home! I have a neurological illness, called CIDP, that has turned my life upside down, and I have created this blog to have a little spot on the internet to share with you my life as a busy mama who loves to shop, eat, drink & be merry! So grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, and enjoy your time with me here at One Top Knot Mama. Cheers, friend!

The only somewhat cute picture I have taken this s The only somewhat cute picture I have taken this summer where sweat isn't dripping from my face or I look like a troll under a bridge. It was a busy summer. I took time away from my blog & socials to fill my cup☕️. 

Going forward, I hope to still be active here on IG, but know I need time away from scrolling. I am not a fashionista. I am a shorts & tee girl, messy bun, my hair is mostly dry shampoo by the time Friday rolls around. I don't wear fake nails or eyelashes. It's just not me. 

The mental mind f*ck that is social media tried to get me to be someone I am not. I am finding that I enjoy writing on my blog more. Creating printables, worksheets, checklists, gift guides etc than posing in outfits I buy specifically for content that I don't even feel comfortable in. 

There are better women than me on here that do a great job of this, and I get huge doses of imposter syndrome. I was spiralling. Never feeling good enough. And that just isn't healthy.

I also don't want to be tone deaf. I know our country is in crisis right now, thanks to our so-called "leaders." If you support our current administration, please just unfollow me now. I know families are struggling to put food on the table. I know parents are choosing between paying the bills or medicine. Kids are watching as their parents are dragged away by masked men. And the list goes on and on. 

I just don't have it in me anymore. I'm exhausted. And my kids need me now more than ever as we are navigating 4th & 7th grades. So if you're still here, thank you. Please check out my blog, sign up for my emails because I am very more active there!

My goal is to continue to spread positivity and relatable content to other moms, resources to help you in everyday life, and to use my space as a creative outlet to fill my cup up. 

I appreciate you all. Here is a recommendation if you're in the Nashville area, try @brunchcollectivetn for some amazing coffee, food and atmosphere!

Happy September, talk soon.
