The Shops at Mission Viejo Holiday Gift Guides: For Her + The Littles!
Here in Southern California, it might still look like Summer but we are getting ready for Christmas! I’m sharing my Gift Guide for Her and your little ones in today’s post with items from The Shops at Mission Viejo!
I’ve been getting ready for Christmas early this year, because you know as a busy mom, it’s nice to be prepared! This year, I have started my Christmas shopping early and I’ve already put up most of our Christmas decorations.
To get a head start on my Christmas shopping I went to my local mall here in South Orange County, The Shops at Mission Viejo. My favorite stores in the mall I always go to are Nordstrom, Zara, Lululemon, and Sephora. I went to all my favorites stores to find some amazing gifts I know you would love! I created a Gift Guide: For Her and a Gift Guide: For Baby + Toddler to make your holiday shopping a little easier. I love shopping at our local Nordstrom because they have such an amazing selection in each department, especially the children’s department. They carry a variety of clothes, shoes, toys, gear, and gifts for babies and toddlers. If you’re a busy mom and don’t have time to spend at the mall, you can also pick your items online and Nordstrom has curb-side pick up! They bring your shopping bags right to your car- so convenient! I also love Zara because their clothes for Dane and Kennedy are soo cute and also at a great price point. I am obsessed with their new Winter collection of jackets, bunting, and beanies for babies and toddlers this year. Dane’s bunting bear suit is from the children’s section of Zara!
I also found some amazing gifts for any girl in your life. For yourself, your daughter, mother-in-law, BFF or sister! I LOVE Lululemon and Sephora for Christmas gifts because it’s something I know any girl would love to get. The jacket and workout leggings I’m wearing are from the Lululemon in The Shops at Mission Viejo! Their athleisure wear and workout outfits make the perfect gift this year for any girl. I have a few Lululemon pieces on my list this year that I’ve had my eye on for a while now. Also, I love Lululemon because their clothes are such amazing quality and last forever, so you really get you money’s worth. They also fit amazing and are so flattering!
One tradition we have been doing since we moved to Orange County, is visiting Santa in The Shops at Mission Viejo and going to Cheesecake afterwards as a family. This is our second year going and it’s been such a fun tradition so far! The Santa set-up is beautiful and Kennedy had such an amazing visit with him!! She was mesmerized and it was so magical for her to see him in person! Afterwards, we got lunch at our favorite restaurant in the mall, Cheesecake Factory!! It was such a fun day and Kennedy was in Christmas heaven! It really has gotten her very excited for Christmas this year, and she keeps asking to go back and bring him cookies- haha! Also, you can also bring your furry friend for photos with Santa on Sunday, December 8, from 7pm to 8pm! In addition, they are having a Santa Extravaganza with crafts, entertainment, goodie bags, and a visit from Santa and more! This event will be on Saturday December 7, 10:30AM-Noon in Center Court.
