The holidays are approaching at lightning speed and I’m dreading the crowded stores and the ever-growing list of people to buy gifts for! I mean seriously…do we HAVE to buy gifts for all the cousins? Can’t we draw names or something?

In case you’re wondering the answer to that question is no…in my family no one is organized enough to draw names a month before Christmas, which means we are just going to have to buy gifts for everyone.

Fortunately, Recessionista has a plan!

We can hardly stand the excitement surrounding the warehouse sale and all of the new product that we are debuting.

Much like last holiday season, we’re making shopping easier for you with amazing deals that you’ll only find on Recessionista.

We’ll have gift sets for $30, $25, $20 and even $15 dollars!

Scarves, hats and head wraps oh my!

And here’s a sneak peak at some of the sweet new items you’ll find in these gift sets…

Blog commenting is a funny thing and I find that I have a love/hate relationship with that feature.  You see, on my personal blog, I’ve turned them completely off and kinda like it that way.  Of course, I love to get comments – I mean, who doesn’t?  But I also like to read blogs and not comment at all.  It takes the pressure of writing something clever, witty or memorable – or writing anything at all.  Sometimes, I just like things to effortless.  Some blogs I read the comments become more popular than the post and often times they take on a very negative  tone.  Why are there so many rude folks, mostly women, that feel so obliged to spew nastiness, I always wonder?

I’m glad none of them come over here.  Quite frankly, I’ve enjoy your comments and especially on the scarf giveaway.  I do read every comment that comes my way and always learn a thing or two.  And today, I’m going to post of few in case the rest of you don’t scroll through the comment section to read them yourself.

Heather Says:

Awesome! I like scarves, but I never really know how to use them as anything other than to keep warm in winter. It’d be nice to have a free one to work with.

Well, Heather, how about some linkage to help you on your way to becoming the scarf wearing, scarf tying, scarf stylin’ master?

Christa, from enSTYLEpedia has a few ideas here and even posted this tutorial found here.  Thanks Christa!  PS-love your blog and would love to have you contribute to Recessionista once in a while!

Scarves are so hot, they even have jokes about them!  Now, that’s getting serious.

Megan Santini Says:

A joke about a scarf:

Q: What did the big furry hat say to the warm woolly scarf?
A: “You hang around while I go on ahead.”

And YES, scarves are the P E R F E C T accessory for all you expecting mamas out there.

Katie Rees Says:

I love scarves. I fell in love with them while in Italy last winter and now I can’t get enough. A new scarf would be the perfect accessory for my pregnant belly!

Like I said, scarves are an inexpensive way to make any outfit go from drab to fab!

Andrea Says:

Oh a scarf would be lovely for those of us who love ‘em over necklaces we can’t afford!

Debra P Says:

Very lovely! A scarf would spice things up and add some fashion flair

Ashley Says:

A scarf is one of the best accessories!! They can make or break an outfit. I love them!

Joanna Smith Says:

I love love scarves! They are such a fun way to transform your look from ordinary to euro-chic! I feel very Kathryn Hepburn when I wear one! Thanks so much for the chance to enter.

Mary Says:

It is amazing how a scarf can make a whole new looking outfit!

Thanks of all your comments even if I have to bribe you with a giveaway!

Scarves are still $9 for a few more days and our last week for Soles4souls!

Scarves are hot fashion trend all year round.  It’s the one trend that knows no age or personal style boundaries.  Scarves are so versatile and will easily make any drab outfit look fabulous.  They can be the most inexpensive yet effective accessory to every woman’s wardrobe.

Not only are they made for the neck, but see how your scarf looks as a waste sash or knotted belt.

What’s even better, is that all our scarves are $9, a price that will last for a week.

Thanks to the above drawings found here, I’ve even learned a few new scarf-knotting tricks.
