This blog post was sponsored by AT&T but the opinions are completely my own.
I am a simple girl. I don't need diamond rings or fancy purses for Christmas. To me, it's all about giving not getting. For many years, I was only concerned about being a blessing to my kids and hubby. I never really asked for anything for myself other than a stocking-stuffer or two.

Now that my kids are grown and have jobs of their own, it's nice to be on the receiving end for once. My gift of choice? Gift cards of course!
Gift cards are so practical and easy to use. Of course I can't forget my AT&T Refill and Go card. My family knows I've been enjoying my ASUS ZenFone 2E, so it just makes sense for me to get a AT&T refill card as a gift. There's no contract so when it's time to renew my monthly plan I just refill and go. Easy peasy! It's one thing I know I will get a lot of use out of.
Other gifts I received were items that well, I bought for myself. Hey, when you find something you like, you might as well buy it. I just end up throwing and it under the tree and thanking my husband later.
I saw this Give Me Some Sugar Mug on Instagram and thought it was so cute. When I was out shopping at a boutique, it was sitting up on the shelf waiting just for me. Isn't she darling?
I am so hard on slippers. We call them house shoes around here. Every year, I end up needing a pair because they end up literally falling apart. I found these cozy slippers and I know they'll last...well, at least until next Christmas.
So that's it. Good, practical gifts that I know I will use and won't have to take back to the store!
Did you get any gift cards this Holiday season?
I love that mug! I would say that's a great practical gift. It's nice to be able to receive from the kids and it looks like they did well.
ReplyDeleteThey did a great job! I'm always appreciative of my gifts.
DeleteI got a few gift cards and I used them to buy gifts for others, not myself. But it's a cost-efficient way to cover expenses.
ReplyDeleteI loved that AT&T Go Phone. I used one when I was selling my condo by myself.
That's a clever way to use an AT&T GoPhone. Never thought of it for business.
DeleteThat mug is too cute and so you! Yes I did get a gift card for Christmas, I received a $100 Starbucks gift card from my old boss. #ProductReviewParty

ReplyDeleteThis mug is too cute! I love it.

ReplyDeleteFunny. I thought "No one is going to know what I mean if I say House Shoes" lol.
DeleteI am in love with that mug, and I must have it. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHope you can find one! :)
DeleteThanks Suzie! You really can't go wrong with them.
ReplyDeleteI love gift cards and tea mugs. I'm addicted to tea mugs and this one is really cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to love cute coffee and tea mugs too.
Deletegreat gifts. I am always a fan of slippers or even house socks
ReplyDeleteYes girl, I love those socks too. But I still wear my slippers with them.
DeleteI received a gift card for Macy's and an American Express gift card. oh and Target of course. I'll be using them soon once I figure out what I want to use them on.
ReplyDeleteNice! Aren't gift cards the best?!
DeleteLove the mug. "Give me some sugar" ...lol cute! Great gift ideas.
ReplyDeleteI love that mug! So me I love anything with Gold scripting!
ReplyDeleteI love gift cards too. I received a couple and gave out a few as well. I prefer to give gift cards because it makes it so the person can get something that they actually want.
ReplyDeleteGift cards are amazing. I like giving and receiving them. Since its nice to have a little package I tend give a little something with the gift card.
ReplyDeleteCan never go wrong with gift cards. I got myself and babe some slippers for our stockings too but that mug is too cute!
ReplyDeleteHaha I have to agree with you, I love receiving gift cards as well! The mug you got is so cute, love it.
ReplyDeleteThe mug is super cute. I actually didn't get giftcards this year. I ask for them every year but my loved ones like to give more personal gifts. I really needed new equipment for my camera so I wanted gift cards from the same store that way I could put them all together toward a more expensive purchase and I would pay the difference. Of course I appreciate the thoughtfulness of any gift.
ReplyDeleteI need some new house shoes forreal! Those look super comfy and warm. And that mug is darling! I love buying gifts for myself around the holidays.
