Give The Gift Of Tervis This Holiday Season

Do you feel completely stuck when you have to buy a gift for someone? I find myself coming up with the greatest ideas when I don't have to buy something, but draw a blank when I do! I finally found a gift idea that is perfect for every person on your list regardless of age or gender. A Tervis tumbler is the ideal choice! I'm sure you're thinking, "is she for real? A tumbler?" Hear me out. Tervis offers so many choices for every taste. Whether you love floral patterns, collegiate sports, Disney, Superheroes, NFL, MLB, Hello Kitty (and the choices go on and on), you will find the perfect Tervis for your gifting.

I learned recently that you can even customize your Tervis with personal images, text, and theme wraps. Now that would make a unique gift for the person who has everything. I have received a few Tervis tumblers as gift over the last few years and I LOVE them! They are super sturdy and you can purchase new lids in different colors or styles if you need or want to. They even have a straw lid that doesn't leak and is perfect to take when you are on the go.  It has gotten to the point in my life that we have a section in one of my kitchen cabinets that houses all Tervis items. I also have a standing rule with my college daughters that the ONLY drink-ware they are allowed to bring home must be Tervis otherwise it goes in the donation or recycling bin.

I received a couple of fun new items to add to our growing collection-- A 24-ounce hot/cold tumbler and 9-ounce stemless wine glass. Aren't they great? We are big sports fans in my home, so I chose a Miami Hurricanes tumbler for the husband, and Carolina Panthers stemless wine glass for me!

You can always rely on the best quality for all Tervis products. 

This stemless wine glass comes in different colors and designs. There are so many choices! perfect for the wine-lover in your life! I'm sure your mom friends would LOVE one if you participate in a gift exchange :) 

What sports fan wouldn't love showing off his or her team as they sip on their beverage at work? 

I think a Tervis tumbler would be a great choice to give friends, family, coworkers or neighbors this holiday season! You can purchase them at stores including Bed Bath & Beyond, some college campus shops and specialty stores, and of course order directly from the Tervis site or a Tervis store if you are lucky to have one nearby. Seriously, this is the most stress-free idea. Be sure to follow Tervis on Facebook and Twitter for product updates and promotions.

Wear SlimSation Pants For A Flatter Tummy

I have come to a point in my life where I realize that it's time to start dressing like a grown-up. Days of shopping the Juniors department have come to a close and I have to venture into wearing "ladies" apparel. Although I have been on the tiny side for most of my life, having three kids has really changed my body quite a bit. I have that annoying belly that hinders me from wearing certain things ::cries::. Well, lucky for me and ladies everywhere, there is a line of pants from SlimSation that allows us to be as cute as can be without feeling self-conscious about our tummy. SlimSation offers pants, jeans, and leggings that have a built-in tummy flattening panel. The have a higher waist so you get better coverage.

I really love their Narrow pant with pockets and ankle pants in black. Every woman must have a couple pairs of black pants in her wardrobe. I really love SlimSation's pants because they can be worn in a casual setting or dressed up, making them versatile. You can't go wrong with having garments that can be changed up and worn in different ways.

My current favorite is the Ankle Pant. I absolutely love the cut and the back pockets. It's as if these pants were made especially just for me! The fit my curves perfectly and make my butt look great. The little notch at the bottom gives it an added touch of style while keeping with a classic look.

SlimSation offers many styles and colors to choose from. If you are looking for some comfortable black pants that can be worn both casual and dressy, I recommend the Ankle Pant. I will have to order an additional pair because these have easily become my favorite! Visit SlimSation today and check out their amazing apparel. Not sure about sizing? Their size chart is a big help. SlimSation pants are a wardrobe must-have!
