i heart Thirty-One Gifts (especially at Christmas!)

If you've read my blog for awhile, you know that I am a BIG fan of Thirty-One Gifts. In fact, I signed up to be a consultant and sell them, mainly so I could enjoy a nice fat discount to justify my obscene purchases. Over the past couple of months, all my Thirty-One sells have gone towards the adoption. Since Christmas is coming up, I thought I would show you a few of my favorite Thirty-One products, in case they would work for someone on your Christmas list too!

The best part of Thirty-One Gifts is that EVERYTHING can be personalized! You can get names, monograms, and initials until your heart is bursting with personalized happiness. It makes me insanely happy every time I see my cute purses, so of course I am sharing my joy with you here. And to be totally honest, we are getting the money together to pay the remainder of our adoption costs when we go through our training in January. Which means, now is a great time to contribute to our adoption fund by shopping Thirty-One Gifts. In fact, 20% of your purchase will go straight to our adoption! Exciting, huh?

Now enough chat... let's have a look at my favorite Thirty-One goods.

First is the small utility organizing tote. The has so many handy little uses, especially traveling with toddlers and babies! It is $22.

Next is my absolute favorite - the skirt purse. The purse itself costs $44 and includes one skirt. Here's the great part. You can buy additional skirts for only $15 each! Then you leave all your stuff in one pocket book and just switch out the cover to coordinate with your current outfit. This can take one pocketbook from day to night in an instant. Here is a picture of the new skirt that I'm ordering with my birthday money.

Cute, huh? In person, the hot pink letters look AMAZING on it. The picture doesn't even do it justice. If you want to mix it up, check out the other skirt options below... (I have the argyle on the far left and I love it!)

Next is a gift that every grandma would love (Okay, moms too). It's a wallet with plenty of space for photos! It holds all the usual boring wallet stuff like driver's license and credit cards, but it also has space for 12 photos so you can show off your kids, pets, or friends with the flick of a wrist. It is 7x5 inches and comes in Chocolate Spots or Dot to Dot. Best of all, it's only $20, courtesy of the Holiday Gift Guide!

This next picture is my current Thirty-One obsession... the "Mommy Bag". It is big and roomy and oh so cute. Not to mention stain resistant. It could be a diaper bag, a beach bag, or a travel bag. It's a total steal at $42!

Next is the medium tote, which offers plenty of room for those who like to travel.

The cute option of the season is the half apron. Imagine making Christmas cookies with your kids in that little snowman apron. Only $12 each! Ally already has one... and loves it!

And the Martha Stewart in me LOVES these full aprons. Do you think I will be a better cook if I wear one? :) The full aprons are $24.

and did I mention they could be personalized? Hello!! Adorable!!

Next is the thermal lunch tote with a front pocket. This is perfect for anyone on your shopping list. It comes in a variety of colors and can be personalized any way you want. So cute! These are $14, which is a bargain for a lunch bag that will last for years. :) Trust me, I have had one of these for several years and it's just as great now as when I first got it.

The cinch bag is a cute option for any kid or teenager. They are perfect bags for you to take to church to stash your toddler's sippy cup and diapers. It's also a great bag to carry coloring books and crayons to help your little one be quiet during big church. Once again, you can personalize any way you want. These are $16.

The chocolate blossom weekender tote is my most used Thirty-One bag. It is so big that I can actually pack for a weekend with it. I love the pattern and my last name is embroidered on mine in Ivory. This bag is well made and worth the $72 price tag.

Finally, the big deal of the season is the card assortments that you can get for $30. When you buy any greeting card assortment through the Holiday Gift Guide, you get the card caddy for FREE! The card sets are $30 and so cute. I LOVE the pear cards.

Here are the caddy options (Did I mention you get one FREE with the adorable cards?)

The Albany bag is a dressy option for church. My mom carries hers every Sunday.

In the holiday gift guide, you can find these gorgeous afghans that make a great gift. You can personalize them with a family name and the picture of your choice. They are $44.

I personally like the owl!
