GODIVA Holiday Survival Kit

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and GODIVA, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia ##GiveGODIVA http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

Does anyone else feel like Thanksgiving can’t really be happening this week, and it can’t really be only 31 days until Christmas? Every year the holidays seem to arrive more quickly and every year our schedules seem to overflow with school events, church parties and family and friend get-togethers. It leaves little time for thinking deep thoughts about gift giving at Christmas or and even less time to check everything off your holiday shopping list. It’s enough to drive a person insane…which is why a GODIVA holiday survival kit is a necessity.

Without one, you may not live to see New Year’s Day.

.
GODIVA holiday survival kit -- simple to assemble with all the necessities for surviving the holiday insanity. Perfect holiday gift for BFFs.

You’ll find this GODIVA holiday survival kit simple and quick to assemble and the ROI totally worth it. Whether you’re gifting sanity to a friend, family member, co-worker or neighbor, she’ll not only love what’s inside but also your thoughtfulness. Making one of these kits obviously shows you’re concerned about her sanity. Now that’s love.

For this holiday survival kit, I included what I felt were essential sanity savers. You can find everything at your local Walmart:

  • GODIVA Assorted Chocolate Caramels gift box (no explanation needed)
  • Diet Coke (it’s not the holidays without caffeine)
  • Reusable BPA-free cup (I own a bazillion of these and adore them)
  • Fuzzy socks (I also own a bazillion of these)
  • EOS lip balm (gotta be prepared for all the mistletoe)
  • Festive gold nail polish (because a girl likes to feel pretty even when she’s elbow deep in a turkey)

.
Tell me you wouldn’t love to put this holiday survival kit to good use…because I sure would.

Okay, I may have dove into one of the extra Diet Cokes and sampled one of the gift boxes while putting the kit together.

Those GODIVA gift boxes are awesome. Throw on a red bow and they make it easy to cross off so many people on your holiday shopping list—co-workers, party hosts and hostesses, stylists, teachers, yourself… Visit Walmart this holiday season for GODIVA Chocolate Gift Boxes. Available in three 9PC varieties and also a 15PC Dark All-of-a-Kind (while supplies last).

    The enjoyment the kids get out of them. If it weren’t for the kids, I swear I’d happily skip the whole season and just go on vacation somewhere.

      Also, I tweeted, but I could not follow you on Twitter because you have me blocked. Since every contest out there, including yours, asks me to post a tweet, I know I have a lot of those types of twitter posts. Is that why I am blocked? It doesn’t seem fair to ask us to tweet and then block us because we do.

    My 4 kids and the happiness on their faces when we drive around to look at light displays gets me through the holiday season.

    I get through the holidays by reminding myself how fortunate I am to have the family and the things I need. I know many people do not have these things in their lives. Happy Holidays!

    Being able to sit in front of the fireplace with an adult beverage at the end of the day relaxes me and takes the stress away!

    What gets me through the holidays is my anxiety meds, I have anxiety all year but it is worse during the holidays. Coca Cola also makes me feel good.

    My Sanity room is what gets me through the Holidays! Its a room in my home with my comfort items and my computer. When my door is closed… I need a few minutes, so unless you are dieing or have a limb falling off – you better not bother me till I come out!

    The one thing that gets me through is a good book. I love sneaking some time before i go to sleep to cuddle up in bed and lose myself in a good story.

    Being organized and daily exercise. It helps so much to deal with stress, especially unexpected stress. When too many events pile up or last minute plans come together.
