Let it sale, let it sale, let it sale!

Last week was all about help with your Christmas party outfits, so let’s move on to gifting!

This week on Ten News This Morning I’ll be bringing you gift ideas from West Town Mall. I thought I’d continue on that theme and bring you the sales from around the mall as well!

Sometimes you don’t even know the deals going on until you walk around the mall, which is exactly what I did.

The wonderful thing about shopping in an indoor space, is you find one parking spot, you can shop coat-less and two words: CHEESECAKE FACTORY. Boom.

So here are some good deals and gift ideas for your inspiration!

First off, if you haven’t seen the new Altar’d State, prepare your soul. You’re going to want to relocate your life. Or linger WAY too long in the doorway.

Not only do they have a Hallmark worthy entrance, glittery shirts (I WANT THEM ALL) but they also have some really great sales going on.

For all the women on your list – no matter their age or size…

These cozy socks are 2 for $25! (That’s two pairs not one sock, then the other sock).

Jewelry is buy one get one 50% off! (One for you…one for me).

And the dresses right now are buy one get one FREEEEEEEE (I want the sparkly one SO BAD).

For the foodie on your list…

(Definitely make them share the final results).

For the kid on your list (or Disney lover no matter their age)…

And finally, what to get the shoe lover on your list…

Not only is this display super cute, but this really is a great deal on some cool Vans!

I’ll have more gift ideas later this week, so stay tuned!

Treat Yourself or Someone You Love

Let’s see if we can get all of these gift ideas to fit in a love language…

Just for kicks. It’s either that or fold the mountain of towels. Yeah.

By the way, all of these things can be found at West Town Mall! Which also has a Godiva Chocolate, Chocolate Monkey or (if you’re trying to win your way into my heart) an Auntie Anne’s. THOSE PRETZELS ARE AMAZING.

Francesca’s

Gifts one, two and four pictured are from this little treasure trove of a store.

So the first love language we can hit is words of affirmation. The Bestie book is perfect for that because you fill in the blanks! As a word love myself, I can see where this would make someone feel truly special.

The cutie tea diffuser that hangs on the side of your mug is a great gift for someone who loves them. And the gold cord set, well it’s gold. So you’re winning no matter what their love language.

Bath and Body Works

Four – these are bath bombs! They’re all the same size in real life, I just played around with them for the visual effect.

And they’re in all your favorite Bath and Body scents! I think this is a total tread YOURSELF gift (that I’ll be gifting myself in the near future).

They would fall in the physical touch or quality time category. We’ll let you interpret that however you want.

Vera Bradley

Gifts five six and seven are so cute! They’re all from Vera.

Let’s get creative and say they can all be filed under acts of service. Especially if you hold the umbrella over your loved one in the rain, fill their cup up with their favorite drink and fill out some forms for them with the pens…? We’re stretching it there.

But still, all of these things are inexpensive, beautiful ways to show your friends, family and loved ones (or just YOU) how much they’re appreciated!

Get over to West Town Mall today!

A quick scroll through Instagram and you’re tripping over gift guides. But how many of them are carefully put together for your cousin who came from Philadelphia with their dog Trix who is into glamour and smelling good?! Right? You’re welcome.

Let’s dive into this bad boy. All of these gifts can be easily, conveniently and warmly picked up at West Town Mall…

This is not a bracelet. It’s for your CAR. Finally Yankee Candle has gotten all my letters and created a pretty car scent! Dangle it from your rear view mirror and your friend will be driving through fields of daisy’s all season long.

Ann Taylor fur stole – to make your friend feel like she’s Lucy Ricardo and she found it in the piano where Ricky hid it to give to her on her anniversary #ILOVELUCY. It is beautiful and makes a glamorous alternative to a scarf!

Gift the gift of cute in every area of life with this great Vera Bradley curling iron case.

It’s a gold sequin tumbler. If she has a pulse, she should love it. Stop by Francesca’s for your own…er…I mean your friends gift *WINK.

Everyone has THAT friend whose phone is always low on power. Get that friend this bag from The Limited that will recharge her phone inside of it. It’s also great for the friends who want to feel like MacGyver. (If they don’t know who that is, I’m sorry, that’s a whole other gift list).

Face masks are the best. I mean it. I wear one once a week now and pretend like I’m at a spa (speaking of which, another great gift idea here). These are a fabulous and rare pack from Sephora so snatch one up for your beauty-loving friends.

Gift the gift of glow with this set from Bare Minerals. Who doesn’t want to look like they’re walking around in ambient lighting at all times!? Arlight then, glow get ’em!

Dogs are people too! Well, dogs HAVE people too and how could you not love someone more if they got you something cute for their dog from Altar’d State?

Go beyond a card and some “hug” coupons to convey the depths of your love this Valentine’s Day.

Do things like…buy them something that’s going to make them feel good about themselves. Even if it’s a gift you’re buying for yourself! Nothing wrong with splurging on a little something that will make you feel good.

Here are some fun ideas I came up with from stores yards away from each other in West Town Mall!
