Christmas in August with Family Christian + Giveaway!

August 17, 2016 Baltimore, MD, USA

People are always taken aback when they hear I begin my Christmas shopping in September. The shock and/or horror usually fades to pity when I share why: 4 family birthdays fall between November–January.

That's a lot of gifts! Starting early allows me to pace myself and budget reasonably.

So many inspirational items!


This year, we're vacationing mid-September, so for the sake of our budget, I'm starting even earlier by taking advantage of some amazing summer sales, particularly the one at Family Christian Stores: BOGO pretty much everything for the entire month of August! Books, music, movies, gifts...all buy one, get one half off!

Since my sister always has lots of Christian albums on her wish list, I knew I had to take advantage. Her birthday is the first of the four, and now it's all taken care of (I can't share my haul since that would spoil the surprise but wow—I got an amazing deal and one birthday completely taken care of before Labor Day!). Just a few clicks on the website and her gifts are en route to me as we speak.

Admittedly, it was hard not to shop for myself. I browsed the whole site before deciding on which albums to buy my sister and some items were pretty hard to resist. Pretty decor pieces and the ever-popular adult coloring books are just a few fun gifts in their inventory. Christian merchandise has certainly come a long way since my childhood.

  2. Hey Bekah! I LOVE Family Christian bookstore...and I get a discount too...can't beat it! Hey, I'm not surprised at all with your early Christmas shopping. My mom (before she passed away) had most of her shopping done before August ended! But (I) on the other hand, get the thrill of waiting until Christmas Eve, yep, you heard correct...Christmas Eve, to shop! IKR, LOL! Thanks for the giveaway, going to enter now!
