StumbleUpon

Hello Mindful Shoppers! Thank you to all of you who participated in this year’s Halloween Photo Contest. It was a lot of fun to see the great photos that were submitted. This collection of photos so perfectly celebrated the joy of Halloween- of being silly, looking spooktacular, and becoming a dream character for a day!

Please congratulate with me, Tony Loe from Ann Arbor who submitted the winning Halloween Photo! It was truly a spooktacularly scary and fun photo! 🙂

Ahhhh, moving along to another holiday season! There are a few of you already done with your holiday shopping (nice job!); but for many of us, the gift search has just begun. Even though the sentiment behind gift-giving is heartfelt, the gift-finding process can often be full of stress and frustration.

Therefore, I have decided to create an easy and fun way for my readers to find that “perfect” gift full of purpose and meaning. Over the last year, I have searched for the best of the best, the coolest and most unique items available full of joy, inspiration, comfort, and beauty. And though you can search for these items on my website using the search box and the category and keyword lists located in the right-hand column of the website; I have decided to create an even easier and fun way for finding those “perfect” gifts.

This Mindful Shopper’s Holiday Gift Guide will launch next week on Tuesday, November 13. I am creating it in conjunction with a fantastic program called Pinterest. (I know many of you are already big fans of Pinterest!) Pinterest is an online pinboard and a wonderful place to collect and share pictures of all of your favorite things; gifts, products, home decor, inspirational items, fun photos, recipes, craft ideas, DIY ideas…the list goes on and on.

The Mindful Shopper is organizing its products into wonderful and easy to browse pinboards (categories) so that it is REALLY easy to find those special gifts, all in one place, without the stress of in-store shopping; hassle-free and efficient.

I am working hard to make this the best gift guide available! And you can help. If you have a category of gifts that you are searching for; mention this in the comment section of this post, on Facebook, or send me an email. I will do my best to include gift options in your requested category. Here is a list of some of the categories created thus far: gifts for music lovers, for animal lovers, for the fashionista, gifts that give back, luxurious gifts, gifts under $50, gifts under $30, and stocking stuffers.
