One-Stop Christmas Shopping{and a World Market Giveaway!}

Can you believe it's almost Christmas again?!  Just a little over a month left to get all of our holiday shopping done . . . YIKES!  My favorite part about the Holiday season is the gift giving.  I really get to think about every person an my list -- their wants, their needs, what they like -- which is something I may not make as much time for other times of the year.  And the wrapping.  Don't even get me started on the wrapping!  I. Love. Wrapping. Presents!!!

Shopping for Christmas gifts, however, is a little stressful to me.  The mall gets so crowded and I'm not really what you'd call a people person.  I have a teeny, tiny bit of anxiety about stuff like that.  One of my favorite places to shop during the holidays is World Market.  Their stores are always clean and bright and not packed wall-to-all with people.  {Though I fear I'm ruining that for myself by letting you in on my Christmas shopping secret here.}  And they have really cool stuff!!  Stuff you won't really find anywhere else.  Stuff for everyone on your list.

World Market is like a one-stop-shop for gift giving goodies.  I found things there for friends who like to cook, vintage-y games and toys that would make awesome stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, and even a special treat for my doggie.  They also carry lots of vintage sodas in glass bottles so you can make up your own 6-pack for the soda connoisseur on your list.

World Market also has really cool holiday decor. As their name suggests, it's truly global-style so they have tons of things you might not expect like embroidered elephants or glass Kokeshi dolls to hang on your Christmas tree.
