It’s Christmas Eve, and we’re celebrating the final day before Christmas with something special! As we wait for Santa to drop down the chimney and leave lots of gifts under the tree, the elves are up to a little magic of their own. This fun annual holiday tradition is one that Kristy and her family love and cherish. Read all about the Christmas Eve elf boxes below.
One of my favorite traditions is our “Elf Parting Box” that we do every year. On Christmas Eve, the elves leave a special box for my kids, filled with items that represent their favorite character of the year. Some of the goodies inside include holiday pajamas, a book, an ornament for the tree, a plush toy, and hot cocoa with candy. I love how their tree has become a collection of meaningful ornaments, each marking a different phase in their lives, and it’s always so nice to look back on those memories. Even after they stop believing in the elves, I’ll keep this tradition alive. After all, who doesn’t love a new pair of pajamas and some chocolate on Christmas? What are some of your favorite traditions?
These gingerbread man boxes are just adorable! They’re a festive way to store all the little goodies you’ve got. This year’s themes are Hello Kitty and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Cozy pajamas are a must! This Hello Kitty set is purrrr-fect for Christmas morning, and these Sonic the Hedgehog pajamas are delightful treat.
A holiday-themed book is always a good idea! Meet the Scout Elves and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever were this year’s choices.
Cute companions! These sweet plushes (Sonic and Hello Kitty, accordingly) will be their new besties, always ready for a little snuggle.
And, of course, new ornaments for the tree! Grab your themed Hello Kitty and Sonic ornaments and add them to the collection for the kids’ tree (if you have a dedicated one).

No matter how much you love fitness or enjoy a good workout, there are always those times when you just can’t find the motivation to get up and get moving. It can seriously be a struggle. I find that having some cute workout gear can help put a little pep in my step though, and I make it a point to do a little refresh of my workout digs every so often. I also don’t love spending all of my money on leggings and sports bras though, so I’m always on the hunt for quality gear that’s still affordable. This is where Fabletics comes in! They have SO many adorable styles for all body types and personalities, and the quality of clothing is awesome! See what Fabletics is all about below.
If you’re new to Fabletics, or you want to rejoin as a VIP, you can grab 80% off everything right now!! This is a seriously awesome deal. I knew I needed some fresh workout gear and received this offer via email, and I couldn’t resist!! The best part? There’s no commitment for a membership – simply cancel before the 5th of the month and you won’t be charged the monthly fee. Winning!! I ordered 10 different pieces and what should have cost me over $700 was less than $130…yes, you read that right. Now, I’m someone who is active often and lives in workout gear most of the time, so this was a no brainer for me. But even if you’re curious about trying out Fabletics, these prices are insanely good for athletic digs. See the pieces I got below! For reference, everything fits true to size. I usually wear an XS, but I ordered everything in size small because I don’t like my workout clothes squeezing me like a stuffed sausage – I like a little room to move and breathe.
This black faux leather set was definitely my favorite, mostly because it’s 100% my vibe. The leggings have fun velvet striped sections that add a lot of dimension, and the sports bra has a strappy back that makes for a fun surprise!
This sculptknit set (pardon the sun shining directly on my mirror) is subtly sexy. Even though it’s full coverage, the skin-hugging fabric (which is super soft, btw) of has tiny little cutouts throughout that are meant to accentuate a woman’s natural curves! The leggings are compression-style, and the top has thumb holes, and I just love a top with thumb holes.
Meow! If you know me, you know I love a good pop of leopard print. This bra is medium impact so it’s great for those more intense workouts, but the strappy back makes it subtly sexy! These oasis leggings are buttery smooth and what really sold me was…the pockets, obviously.
I love me a crop top, and this cropped tank is made with compression fabric so it’s cute but still holds everything in place! I feel like I could wear it out and about or for a fast vinyasa yoga class and I would still be comfy. I love that these leggings are moto-style and add a little bit of edge to your workout outfit!
Go green! Get ready to shine with this set – the gorgeous olive green shade has a slight sheen that makes you shimmer in the light. And why not, because you are a star! The tank has a built-in bra but it is a little lowcut, so if you’re well-endowed, just beware of this. These leggings are super comfy. I could see myself throwing a cardigan over this tank and wearing this set out around town!

Fabletics offers flexible memberships that can be skipped or cancelled at any time. You’ll get the best activewear for 20%-50% off, with promotions like 2 for $24 bottoms and 70% off items when you activate your VIP status. I activated my VIP status to snag some serious savings on a bunch really cute stuff, and skipped my next month after that (you can do this and cancel immediately, too). I’ll be shopping again soon though – the discounts are amazing and these clothes are WINNERS. Check out some of my favorite styles below.
Front Knot Seamless Bra | On the Go Leggings
This front knot cropped sports bra is thick and has a built-in shelf bra so it really gives me support if I’m going for a run or doing any kind of HIIT workout. Wear it alone or underneath a sheer top…I also like throwing an open cardigan over it if I’m going out after my workout. The bra runs true to size – I am wearing a size small. These on-the-go leggings have quickly become my favorite. They are buttery soft, super flexible with just the right amount of compression, and have SO many pockets!! With a large mesh pocket on each side, plus a sneaky little pocket pouch on the waistband, I can leave my house with my keys, phone, chapstick, headphones, and even my I.D. and not have to bring a purse. Leggings are true to size – I am wearing a size small.
Nola Low Impact Sports Bra | Mosaic Leggings
This outfit is a little more on the “athleisure” end of the spectrum…I love this look and feel fierce when I’m wearing these pieces. The sports bra is definitely made for low impact activities. While it’s absolutely adorable, I wouldn’t do a fiery vinyasa flow in this. I like it for when I want to feel feminine yet comfortable. The sports bra runs true to size – I am wearing a size small. These mosaic leggings are really fun and show just a little skin for a subtle sexiness. They’re also high-waisted, so these are perfect for those days you’re feeling a little bloated or just want some extra support in the tummy area. They run true to size – I am wearing a size small.
Cropped Seamless Jacket | Go-To Sweatpants
Holy cozy! These sweatpants are so soft and warm…if I could wear them everywhere all the time I would. They have pockets and a drawstring and are fleece-lined so you feel like you’re sitting on cloud. I usually wear them post-workout after a nice hot shower, but I have a feeling I’m going to be living in these once the weather gets colder. They run true to size – I’m wearing size small. And this cropped jacket is the perfect complement to loose joggers or sweatpants. It’s snug and cinches you in at the waist for added definition. The sweat-wicking fabric also makes it a great option to wear for an early workout on a chilly morning. While it runs true to size (I am wearing a size small), it’s definitely form-fitting, so I recommend sizing up if you want a more forgiving fit.
I’m crushing on this tie-back sweatshirt big time. The waffled texture gives it a little dimension and the open back with the tie closure at the bottom is such a sweet detail. This is my go-to when I want to look cute yet casual. I love it paired with leggings and slide sandals…it’s such an easy outfit that looks effortless. It’s true to size and meant to look loose and flowy – I am wearing a size small.
Short Sleeve Tie-Up Tee | Oasis Leggings
If you haven’t figured it out by now, I love tops that tie. It’s a great way to add an element of simple style and this cropped tee is no exception. This top can be dressed up or dressed down and while I usually wear it with leggings and sneakers for a cute yoga class outfit or when I’m running around town, it also looks adorable paired with jeans and sandals. It runs true to size- I’m wearing a size small. These oasis leggings have dainty details that make them really unique. The 7/8 length is finished with a keyhole and twist knot for a little peek-a-boo of leg, and again, pockets!! They run true to size – I am wearing a size small.
