i am a sucker for the holiday season

the second the shopping centres being hanging lights and playing holiday music i’m roped right in

one of my favorite things about the holidays is holiday gift sets and holiday deals- every retailer makes it a point to put together the best holiday packages and bundled discount purchases

two of my favorite stops are Sephora and Bath and Body Works- so far (and thankfully for my wallet) i’ve only made it to one of these destinations

Bath and Body works has gotten into the habit of having multi purchase weekend promotions- this past weekend was buy 2 get 2 or buy 3 and get 3 (so obviously, i had to do it). I have an apartment full of candles and it’s these opportunities that allow me to restock when i’m running low and not break the bank. the best part- at this time of year, everything is redone with holiday scents and holiday packaging

I walked out of the store with 4 brand new holiday candles, having only paid for 2 (in order to take advantage of these kinds of promotions, you need to get 4 items of equal value since the two least expensive items are always the ones gifted)

Selected scents included- Peach Bellini, Champagne Toast, Frosted Cranberry and Cinnamon Caramel Swirl (the favorite so far, my entire apartment smells like caramel apples)

Keep them for yourself or offer them as gifts, it’s a great way to maximize the holiday shopping and walk away with a little something for yourself

Stay tuned for more holiday faves and holiday saves
