It's Black Friday Bitches!

I have a problem. It's called Christmas shopping. Black Friday Christmas shopping in particular. My problem is that I only want to shop for myself! So many sales. So many deals. All for ME! Like every year I like to start my shopping on Black Friday. It's black Friday bitches! So many deals! That's the day/weekend you really want to start. The sale of all sales. Black Friday. It normally happens at the end of November every year. But where to start?

Well to start I like by making sure the house is clean and it's quiet. I have my tree up already so I'm already in the Christmas spirit. I pour myself a glass of wine, blare my favorite pump up tunes, put on my favorite ugly Christmas sweater and have at it. The lights are dimmed. The star on the top of the tree is flashing as the rest of the lights on the tree light up the room.

Awwww Black Friday. It's finally here. Breathe it in. 50% off here. 60% off there. How can one resist! I remember some key places from last year. I start at Old Navy. 50% off entire store. Add an extra 10% off. Use this code to take off $15 when you spend $60 or more. So many deals!

Just then my sister calls me. "Did you see those acid washed, high waisted, ripped knee jeans on for $20 dollars?" I did not. I will look. Oh, they're nice. They're really nice. Only 20 dollars. I need to get them. That's too good of a deal. Click on jeans, click size and Add to Cart. Done. It's that easy folks. Gift one for myself bought. It is Christmas. I need gifts too. I'll never find a better deal on those jeans.

Oh tights. Right. I need new tights. 50% off 24 dollars. That's like 12 bucks! I like the green ones. And obviously I need a new pair of black ones and maybe those army looking tights. They're hip looking. I'll look good in those. All for only 40 dollars. Sold! Add to Cart. Okay Kerri, okay Kerri, calm down. Time to shop for someone else. I do need a new sports bra though.

2 hours later and a cart full of items for myself I start to scan the site for deals for the rest of the people on my list. If your looking for baby, toddler, kids, teenagers, mom or dad, they have it all (clothes wise.) I suggest waking up early Friday morning. The deals are cray cray. Sleepers for 7 dollars. Pajamas for 8 dollars. The only thing is they sell out fast so if your a serious shopper you need to get on the ball early to get the really good deals.

I found a gift for my boyfriend on there. A jacket. Normally $138 dollars. 50% off. Take another 10% off with whatever code they gave me...it was like 44.00 for a new jacket. Sold! The old Navy site is the trifecta with Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic all connected on the same site.. you can switch back and forth at will. All good deals.

I definitely obviously suggest hitting up La Senza if your shopping for yourself, or if your looking for something cute and sexy for that special someone in your life. Always good deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. They have cute pajamas and the best place to buy sports bras or any other nice bras or underwear.

One year I bought from this store called Better Than Pants. I believe it was stationed out of New York. Anyways... they have a variety of funny t-shirts. You can make them into tanks, short sleeve whatever you'd like. Colors. White. You can even make up your own shirt.

I bought everyone in my family a shirt from there one year. Best Christmas ever. Everyone was dying laughing at their shirts. From Mike Tyson's "Merry Chrithmith" to "I just can't," those shirts were hilarious and gave everyone a good laugh. They were very helpful on there online chat. Lots of good deals. And they shipped in the time suggested. What a Christmas that year was. Very funny.

Ring, ring., my sister. "Do you want to buy a pair of jeans off me? I ordered two by mistake." She too has the Christmas shopping bug. "What do they look like?" "How much?" Ok. I'm sold. Another pair of jeans for me. My Me cart is getting bigger. No more Kerri. No more. Must shop for other people.

I check out Go Jane every year. They have the best price for boots, booties or fancy heals I've found yet. I bought a pair of high, wide calf boots for my mother there 2 years ago for $20 dollars. Can't go wrong. They may not last more than one year but for $20 dollars you'll be walking around in style for the 2021 season!

This year my sister is doing a beer/weed advent calendar for her man. On December 1st her man woke up to a little note with one beer wrapped up in a special hiding place. She bought some beer from her local craft beer store. Heritage was the name if the place she bought the beer from. He will wake up to a little note and a beer or weed drink every day of December. I thought it was a very cute idea! Checkout your local craft beer stores for some nice, relaxing beverages to have over the holidays!

Thoughtful gifts for that special someone are a must! A friend of mine owns Cape Breton Beard Factory. If you have a man with a beard in your life this is a must buy! From beard oils that keep your beard looking silky and smooth to moustache wax these guys have it all! If you're hooked up with a bearded guy then may I suggest checking out this site...the man in your life will love it.

Looking for another thoughtful gift? This next one I thought was a little pricy but cute and thoughtful at the same time. A love book. This site popped up on my main feed on face book...I decided to give it a gander. It was so cute. You choose a couple of key things you like or do with your man or woman and they create the rest. For $77.00 dollars plus shipping I found it a little pricy. But if you have the money I would say it's a super sweet gift to give to that special someone.

If you haven't started your shopping yet. No need to worry. There will be deals from now until Christmas! Check your flyers. Google anything your looking for...odds are there will be plenty of sites and deals to choose from. Try and stay away from sites that don't ship in your country as it is Christmas and some of these sites takes longer than they say they do. Amazon is probably the most reliable for keeping their packages arriving on time. So if you're doing some last minute ordering I would suggest amazon.

Wall-mart, Target and Giant Tiger are always good for sales. From snow blowers to stocking stuffers they have basically everything you need for a decent price. If your looking for Christmas sweaters or pajamas I would try and get them as early as possible as those tend to sell out before Christmas. If your late to the game, missed Black Friday, don't worry, the stores will always have sales near Christmas even on Christmas eve if you happen to be a last, last minute shopper. Just don't count on getting exactly what they're looking for.

Can't think of gift ideas? Try their favorite sports team, author, music they're into. Are they a writer? Journal. Painter? Canvas? Do they like music? How about a record player. Coffee mugs are always nice. You can usually find a funny coffee mug, or Christmas mug. Can't go wrong with a nice sheet set, that's what I always say. New sheets. The best feeling ever. Nice, new sheets against your body. Make sure it's 800 thread count though, that's what mom always says! Need to have that thread count!

As for me, I'm done! Everyone on my list done including ME!

Good luck!

Remember the earlier you buy the better deals you'll get and less stressed you'll be at Christmas. Even if it's only a $20 dollar gift here $20 dollar gift there it will add up before you know it! Don't be like me though and give your presents too early. I can't help it. I might have given my boyfriend some early Christmas presents. Oh well. Back to shopping!

Hope this helps! Merry Christmas!:)
