Charity Request: $5 sends TWO Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes!

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure policy.

screen-shot-2016-11-13-at-9-45-24-pm

Are you familiar with Operation Christmas Child? Our family has enjoyed gathering up small gifts for children and packing them in shoeboxes in the past! It’s a lot of fun – and a great way to use some of the bargains you might have collected. You can learn more about how to pack your own Operation Christmas Child box if you’d like.

ThatDailyDeal is a site that specializes in great bargains each day. For the 14th year in a row, they’re putting their buying power to great use – and offering to assemble and send an Operation Christmas Child box with your $5 donation. Even better, for every box you order and donate, they’ll donate one as well.

Your $5 donation will pay for 2 boxes to be assembled and sent.

Here’s the BEST part. You can send your own shoebox through Operation Christmas Child – but there’s a $9 per box donation to cover shipping/handling/processing fees, in addition to the small gifts you’d need to buy to fill the box on your own.

If you don’t have time to pack your own box, this is a great way to pay it forward this season (not to mention very affordable)! Watch the video on this page for the whole scoop.

CHARITY DONATION: Pay $5, send 2 Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes filled with gifts!

When you make this purchase, a shoe box will be assembled in your honor and donated to Operation Christmas Child to help kids in need. You will NOT receive anything in the mail. Each $5 donation will be matched with an additional box – and there’s no limit to how much you can contribute.

This year, if you donate 10 boxes, ThatDailyDeal will send you a $10 gift card to use on their site as a thank you.

gymboree

Big news! Gymboree will be returning next year!

After closing all locations along with their online presence, Gymboree will be making a return in the spring of 2020 under new ownership. Just a few details from the website:

When The Children’s Place had the opportunity to purchase the Gymboree brand, we didn’t hesitate, because we know how much it matters to you and your family. That’s why we’re working hard to bring back the brand – and styles – you love with the same quality and attention to detail you expect from Gymboree.

Our goal is to bring back the Gymboree collections that you knew and loved. Gymboree product will be available in over 200 select Children’s Place locations and at gymboree.com starting in Spring 2020.

In the meantime, they are looking for your input to stay true to the brand and include all of the best features and items that you loved. If you’d like to contribute your thoughts and/or photos of favorite Gymboree outfits, you can do that at Gymboree.com.

Fall is just around the corner – and sweater weather is almost here! Are you excited?

Cozying up in a soft sweater is one of the things I look forward to most in fall – and for the next two days, you can hunt for the perfect sweater at Macy’s! From September 6-7, shop sweaters starting at $29.99!

I’m all about investing in flexible wardrobe staples that can mix and match with other pieces to stretch my existing wardrobe into fall, so I’ve listed three of my favorite highly-rated sweaters on sale at Macy’s right now. Of course, there are hundreds of sweaters to choose from, so be sure to take a look!

INC draped cardigan sweater macy's

I.N.C. Draped Cardigan, Created for Macy’s

Warm up with a solid cardigan! This is one of my favorite wardrobe staples – and the perfect way to extend your summer wardrobe into winter. Don’t pack up your favorite summer tanks, tops and dresses; instead, layer on a cardigan. It’s simple – and it’s budget-friendly!

This particular draped cardigan has earned a crazy number of 5-star ratings for being comfortable, flattering and true-to-size. It also travels well and can be rolled up tightly to fit into a purse or bag.

Available in black, white, port, deep twilight, heather brownie or hunter forest in sizes XS through XXL, as well as petite sizes.

Calvin Klein Open-Front Three-Quarter-Sleeve Cardigan

Calvin Klein Open-Front Three-Quarter-Sleeve Cardigan

This three quarter sleeve cardigan keeps it classy – and a solid black is versatile enough to coordinate with almost anything. Simple and elegant, the shorter waist fits exceptionally well with dresses. I keep one of these in my wardrobe at all times because I prefer the look (and I’m usually cold enough to need the extra layer)!

Available in black in sizes XS through XXL.

I.N.C. Shirttail Sweater

I.N.C. Shirttail Sweater, Created For Macy’s (black, blackberry, port, heather ginger, dark charcoal)
I.N.C. Shirttail Sweater, Created For Macy’s (heather sandune or hunter forest)

There’s so much to love about a solid tunic that you can dress up or down. Wear it with your favorite leggings or jeans, boots or flats, and you’ll still look great. The boatneck collar is flattering for almost every shape, plus it’s loose enough to be comfortable. This one earns rave reviews.

Available in black, blackberry, port, heather ginger or dark charcoal, heather sandune or hunter forest in sizes XS through XXL.

Shop ALL Sweaters at Macy’s starting at $29.99!
