Prime FTW

FWIW (for what it's worth, for those of you who aren't all hip on your acronyms), Christmas is only five days away. And that means those of you who do most of your shopping online only have three more days to get your gifts here (unless your UPS guy delivers on Saturday).

For procrastinators *unite* like me, there's the wonderful Amazon Prime. If you're not a procrastinator, good for you. I'll write you a post some other day.

But for those of you who are like me, I've got you covered. Amazon Prime is $99 per year (with free 2-day shipping on many items) or $10.99 per month. PLUS your first month is always free! So if you have littles and you shop online for their Christmas or birthday gifts...or if you do a lot of online shopping, you'll make up your shipping prices in no time!

But enough of the cost. Here are six items that are perfect for your family that WILL arrive in time. So don't delay!

under $10

for the teething baby | mesh feeders & a teether

These mesh feeders work wonderfully! We used them for frozen fruit & veggies. Also, fruit that makes a big mess or could be a choking hazard (blueberries, apple slices, bananas, etc).
Only $6.99 for a two pack

For a baby who loves to hang onto a handle when chomping. Or if your baby loves bananas and you don't want to deal with the mess. Here's another option. Plus it gets him ready to practice brushing his teeth! Only $7.80

Baby Banana Infant Training Toothbrush and Teether, Yellow

under $15

 

for the one who loves cleaning | dryer balls & Mrs. Meyers cleaners

Shortly before Lewis was born, I bought some Norwex wool dryer balls. We love them. You can add essential oils to them for your own personalized scent. If you're a little skeptical about them and don't want to spend quite as much, Amazon has many options to choose from!  There's even an extra 11% off today! Only $14.95 or $13.31 after the coupon.

We've also started using some Mrs. Meyer's products. We really like the special holiday scent, Orange Clove. But another favorite is the Iowa Pine. Great for really getting in the holiday spirit! This three pack comes with dish soap, multi-purpose cleaner, and hand soap. Only $11.97

under $25

for the one who has everything | wool socks & Amazon gift card

We live in a land where everything is frozen for a conservative 1/3 of the year, so wool socks are a must. One one of my favorite brands is Smart Wool. They're thin. They're festive. And they're oh, so warm. His and hers. Only $21.95 and $23.95 respectively.

Amazon gift cards are perfect for the person who has everything or is impossible to shop for. Or if they're like me and have items on your list that are way out of your price range. *guilty* So, look no further. Here's a gift card option where you pick the price! Only $1.00-$2,000!

I hope these items help you finish up your shopping! There are only a few more days to get gifts in time. Plus, this way you won't have to leave the comfort of your own home. Happy Prime-ing.

If you have Amazon Prime, please share what you love about it. If you don't have it, why not?

Happy Tuesday!

Here Comes the Bride...

...all dressed in white.

You know what that means, right? You've got it. Another wedding. Since the beginning of 2015 we've attended weddings in Fargo (1), Bismarck (1), Mayville (1),  Grand Forks (2), Montevideo (1), and Hudson (1). We were also invited to three that we couldn't attend in Fargo (1) and Grand Forks (2).

We are rounding out our 2015 wedding season with a wedding in Jamestown.

The awesome thing about the wedding this weekend, is that we don't have to pay for a hotel! We are fortunate enough that we'll be able to stay with Kyle's parents and celebrate til the cows come home (or buffalo, whichever). 

Family will be in town and it will be glorious. One thing I love about spending time with Kyle's family is that the weekend will be filled with baby snuggles from our niece, late night games, lazy mornings, and lots of coffee. All things lovely.

The thing I struggle with most when it comes to weddings is, "What do I buy them?" I know, I know...just follow the registry. And as easy as that is, some of our favorite gifts weren't on our registry. 

I mean really, how cute are these??

I don't think you can register for hand embroidered flour sack towels. Maybe somewhere, but I've never seen it.

I also loved this pitcher that we got.

We use(d) it frequently...and then someone found out that really hot water shouldn't run in/on it. Don't look at me. 

And even though we loved most of the stuff that wasn't on our registry, we did receive some things that we've not even taken out of the box yet. And because I'm not sure who all reads this here blog, I won't even show you what those items are. 

Check in on IG, Twitter, Facebook or Snapchat for updates this weekend. 

But seriously. What's your go-to wedding gift? 

I know my mom's...a glass pitcher 

like the one that broke at our house.
