It might seem a little early to start talking holidays but seriously, it's already mid-November! I've decided to embrace the oncoming holiday season with cheer and optimism. Speaking of optimism, you guys have got to see the​ ​new​ ​holiday​ ​commercial​ ​from​ ​Cost​ ​Plus​ ​World​ ​Market!​ ​See​ ​the​ ​story​ ​of​ ​a​ ​little​ ​boy​ ​with his​ ​trumpet​ ​who​ ​finds​ ​the​ ​inspiration​ ​he​ ​needs​ ​for​ ​a​ ​Christmas​ ​music​ ​performance​ ​by gathering​ ​the​ ​support​ ​of​ ​friendly​ ​llamas. Llamas, gotta love them. If you've been following anything Cost Plus World Market lately, you know they're all about the llamas this holiday season and I'm not mad about it.

In addition to their adorable video, they have one of their fantastic sweepstakes running through the holidays. You​ ​Could​ ​Wine​ ​One​ ​(1)​ ​of​ ​Seven​ ​(7)​ ​ ​Weekly​ ​$1,000​ ​World​ ​Market​ ​Gift​ ​Cards.

Seeing all things holiday popping up has me itching to get my Holiday shopping underway. One thing that I love about the holiday season is the ability to make people happy with just a thoughtful little gift. There's no reason to go crazy when it comes to gift giving, especially if you're super busy and a little frazzled like me. I am very blessed in my life and don't need more clutter but something small and meaningful is always welcome to me. I love love love getting those that I love and care about an ornament that suits their personality or interests. It's mindful and thoughtful and all the fulls! I'm not just saying this. CPWM has THE BEST selection of funky, fun ornaments. I got the adorable felt elephants last year and love the new metal elephants that they've released this year (yeah, I have a thing for elephants!)... but we're not talking about shopping for me. Whether you're shopping for close family or for a Secret Santa, I think that a perfectly picked ornament is something anyone can use. I'm excited to pick ornaments out for the new people in our lives this year. Since the preschool teachers are absolute dolls, I think that a new ornament for each would be the perfect teacher gift, right? Check out all my favorite ornaments this year. Cost Plus World Market has made gift giving so fun, once again!

Shop all the fantastic ornaments here:

I always shop at the Framingham, MA location but find your closest store here or heck even check out the selection online if you want to avoid the crowds. Personally, I love shopping in store and online depending on what type of mood I'm in... and remember don't forget to enter the sweepstakes to win big!

Tell me, what are you going to snag for the special people in your life?
