It’s here. For the first time ever, I put up a Christmas tree and started decorating before Thanksgiving. It kind of makes sense for me to start all of my Holiday prep this week while it’s quiet! As soon as Thanksgiving hits it’s always a race to get everything done so I’m glad to have some of the decorations and gifting supplies handled! Walmart is the best spot to start prepping for less, too! I found the cutest outdoor decorations this year! I hung these white Moravian Aurora Star Lights on our porch and I LOVE them so much.

These Star Lights fold up so they’re easy to put together and also store for next year, too! They come in different sizes and would be so lovely to hang in a group in a tree! They also come in various color options! I just love them so much.

I also stocked up on wrapping supplies from Walmart, too! My goal this year is to wrap each gift as soon as I get it, rather than waiting until the end to wrap it all at once like I usually do. Walmart has tons of cute gift wrap sets at affordable prices.

I got this fun Hallmark Grinch Wrapping Paper Set for some of the kids gifts and the Multi-Color Christmas Tree Kraft Paper Set for adult presents. They look good together as a group, too!

I bought a pack of gold tinsel garland and silver tinsel garland to use for trimming presents! It makes gifts sparkly and fun!

Walmart helps you save money by keeping prices low on a wide assortment of quality products and brands every day!

My first Holiday Gift Guide of the year is here and I’m starting off with a fun round up for kids! Because they’re the most important to make you sure handle right away before it all is sold out! I’m speaking from experience.

GIFT GUIDE FOR KIDS:

Magic Mixies Crystal Ball: The toy of the year. If you haven’t watched the video you must. I want to be a kid again to play with this.

Sleeping Bag Backpack: I love this 2 in 1 backpack with sleeping bag concept for sleepovers!

PonyCycle: Last year’s toy of the year is back and it still makes me giggle. SO fun.

Smashers Mega Dino Egg: Kids smash, fizz, and slime their way through this Dino egg that has over 25 surprises inside! Big Bang for your buck, so to speak.

Archery Set: Can be used indoors or outdoors!

Barbie Surprise Reveal: A barbie with an unboxing surprise!

Over The Door Basketball: Perfect in a kids room!

Singing Machine: Karaoke with fun voice changing effects!

Echo Dot Speaker: My kids are obsessed with theirs. They use them as their alarm clock, to listen to music, and for white noise at bedtime!

Teleties: One of Lilly’s FAVORITE things. The kids all stack these up on their wrists.

Sohp Shop Surprise Soap: Encourages kids to wash their hands – the perfect stocking stuffer!

Kids Kindle Paperwhite: The easiest way to read, kids can download books in seconds so there is never an excuse of needing a new book.

We just got our holiday cards delivered from Shutterfly and they turned out SO fun this year! I was excited to partner with Shutterfly on our family’s card this year because they offer so many beautiful card designs, lots of creative design upgrade options, coordinated envelope details, address printing, and even a mail-for-me service!

I chose the Happy Headline Holiday Card because it feels very clean and joyful. I added on the Pearl Shimmer Cardstock option as well as the Round Corners upgrade. Like many of Shutterfly’s card designs this card is customizable and can also be printed to read “Merry Christmas”, “Happy Hanukkah”, or “Happy New Year”. The photo I used is from summer in Harbour Island. I love an unexpected, non-staged holiday photo!

I chose the red envelopes with the red Christmas tree liners! So festive and fun.

Another holiday season necessity for me is personalized Holiday Stickers! These Good And Jolly Stickers are great for the back of envelopes but I especially like using them as gift tags on hostess gifts! And the Bright Merry Tree Stickers are the perfect gift tag for holiday gifting, too! I’ll save any I don’t use this year for next year!

Here’s a look at some of the cute finds from Shutterfly’s Holiday Stationary collection

I love the MERRY card with the couple jumping in Santa hats. And the Happy Holidays Lamberts sticker is a really cute design! And the little tag ornament with the Santa and the kid would be so cute on a special gift.

And don’t forget about my Shutterfly discount code SHOPSTYLELLL for 5% off site-wide promotions!

My new Le Creuset 4.5qt Classic Oval Cast Iron Dutch Oven is on special today only at QVC for only $219.98! It’s the perfect excuse for me to re-share one of my best recipes that I shared probably 12 years ago! I still get messages about my White Chicken Chili. It’s a house favorite and it’s so easy to make. And nothing produces a better batch than cast iron, so I’m thrilled about my new Le Creuset!

Fun fact, Le Creuset’s US headquarters is here in Charleston so they’re a big favorite around here! This is my 4th piece. They’re so well made and are really easy to cook with. Plus they’re especially gorgeous! The special value price on QVC is good for today only so you probably shouldn’t sleep on this deal. There are 10 gorgeous colors to choose from! The Dutch Oven shape is perfect for slow-cooking, braising, roasting, baking and more. And it’s oven-safe as well as dishwasher-safe!

Like I said above, I originally shared this white chicken chili recipe probably 12 years ago. It’s so popular that people still message me about it. It’s so easy and so delicious that I decided to share it again!

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI RECIPE:

1 T EVOO or Butter

4-5 Garlic Cloves

1 t Ground Cumin

1.5 t Ground Oregano

1/4 t Cayenne

3 C Shredded Cooked Chicken (I use Rotisserie)

(1-2) 4 Oz Cans Chopped Green Chilis

(2) 2 Oz Cans Great Northern Beans (drained & rinsed)

6 Cups Chicken Stock (I like Progresso)

2-3 Cups Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

Heat up the evoo or butter over low to medium heat and saute the garlic. Add the chicken, chilis, and spices. I usually let this all hang together for about 2 minutes or so. Next, add the beans and the chicken stock. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 1.5-2 hours. Remove from heat and add the cheese. It’s ready to serve, and is great with even more cheese on top!
