We were hosted by The Carlsbad Premium Outlets, however all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Raise your hand if you have started your holiday shopping yet?! I am usually that girl running around on Christmas Eve trying to find the perfect gifts for everyone in our family. I am determined to not let the holidays sneak up on me this year. With two big trips coming up next month, I am starting my gift buying early. We stopped by the Carlsbad Premium Outlets this afternoon to check out their holiday decorations and grab the first few things on my list. This is one of my favorite malls to shop at as it is super close to my house, has a vast selection, and always offers some amazing deals!
Tree Lighting Event
November 15th from 6:30 – 8:30pm
To kick off the holiday season, Carlsbad Premium Outlets is having their annual Tree Lighting Event on November 15th from 6:30pm – 8:30pm. It will be an evening of live holiday performances, Santa’s Arrival, the lighting of the tree, and complimentary coffee & cocoa for the whole family. There will also be an Enter-to-Win! Simply register at the event and you could win things like a Coach handbag, Coach Men’s wallets, a $100 gift card to The Cosmetic Company Store, and more! We are planning to attend and I know the girls will love it!
The holidays are a great time to give back and you can make a donation to the Simon Youth Foundation at the event. The Foundation fosters education opportunities, career development and life skills to help transform the lives of at risk youth. They partner with local public schools to build high schools inside Simon malls which have maintained a 90% graduation rate. For more info, visit: https://syf.org/.
While you are there grab a few gifts for your family (or yourself 😉). Some of my favorite stores to visit are Michael Kors, Vince, Old Navy Kids & Baby Outlet, Theory, and Elie Tahari. Almost every year around this time (specifically on Black Friday!) I like to treat myself to something small at Michael Kors like a new wallet or clutch. They last me for years, are a great investment, and you can’t beat the Outlet price of up to 70% off. So good!

I buy almost all the girls’ clothes from this Old Navy Outlet as they have tons of affordable and trendy options. In fact, Hayden’s entire outfit including her boots in the picture above are from here! They also have some really festive holiday pajamas and this is the perfect time to scoop some up while the entire store is up to 50% off. I love buying our cozy pajamas early so we can wear them all season long!
This little girl is ready to see Santa! She has been working on her list all week to prepare for Friday night. It’s going to be such a fun, festive event for the whole family. I hope to see you there!
