Each year, there is always someone on my Christmas list who is difficult to shop for. It is either because we aren't super close or because they just never seem willing to tell me what they want. Well, I've been thinking and researching and I've realized that many of those lists that are out there on the internet aren't exactly helpful. However, the fact that they are written proves that I'm not alone in my problem! So today's blog post will hopefully give you a few ideas for some things you can get for the people on your list this year. YOUR MOM

Today is the first day of blogmas. That means that I will be posting a new Christmas-themed blog each day this month. After Christmas, I will continue to post through the month on topics about the New Year. Today's blog post will be a Christmas bucket list. Here it is: GO SEE CHRISTMAS LIGHTSROAST MARSHMALLOWS
PURCHASE GIFTS FOR PEOPLEWATCH A CHRISTMAS PARADE
HELP MOM DECORATE
HAVE A CHRISTMAS MOVIE MARATHON
CONCLUSIONThose are all of my main wishes for this holiday season. I hope you have a bucket list that you're checking off this year! See you tomorrow!
Where has the month of November gone!? It feels like just yesterday when I was posting each day for Blogtober! If you miss the content I put out each day in October, you'll be happy to know that I'm doing Blogmas here on TheOpinionatedOne.com! So, to get myself into the Christmas and holiday spirit, I figured I would do some research and share some things I've found myself that will help you get extra money or save your money for this holiday season. EARN: DO SOME FREELANCEI do freelance assignments pretty regularly on a site called Fiverr. I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that I have come across a few issues with specific customers on the site. However, I've been doing freelance writing on Fiverr for years. SHAMELESS PLUG:Check out my Fiverr profile. I do 500-word guest posts for only $5! I can also write for your business. Message me for inquiries.
This site in particular allows you to sell a number of things, including graphics, voiceovers, songs, programming, relationship advice, and much more! If you want to make a little bit of extra money, try a freelance site! SAVE: USE COUPON CODE SITESIf you love watching YouTube videos, you've probably heard a number of influencers talking about Honey. Honey is something that I've personally used and it does work for some of your favorite sites. Honey is a browser extension. When you go to check out, it pops up and you simply have to click "run coupon codes." Honey will check to see if you have any coupon matches. I've also downloaded an app called RetailMeNot. On this app, you can type in your favorite stores and browse the online or in-store coupons. When you click the coupon that you'd like to use, you can press "Get Code" to copy it! EARN: PLAY TRIVA FOR CASHBasically, you are awarded points that have a value. You must go to Swagbucks.com to redeem your points for gift cards or PayPal credit. You can also enter sweepstakes and donate to worthy causes like The Wounded Warrior Project, The Humane Society, and more. On the website, you can also participate in polls and surveys to earn more points. Save these points up to redeem them for cash or gift cards so you can do your holiday shopping! SAVE: SIGN UP FOR A SAVINGS PLAN
EARN: FIND A SEASONAL WEEKEND JOBSearch local listings for odd jobs or weekend, part-time jobs you can do for spare cash. Sometimes, sport complexes may need workers to clean up the grounds, sell tickets, or sell concessions during the season. You might also find a holiday-themed event that needs extra help. Check around and take a look at the listings. See what job can fit into the schedule you already have! Many retail stores need extra help around the holidays! CONCLUSIONShort, sweet, and to-the-point! There are, of course, many other ways to save money and earn money this season, but these are the ones I've either tested myself or have researched to be popular around this time of year!
In honor of Black Friday, which is today in the states, I thought I would go ahead and share my Christmas wish list in case anyone out there may be wondering what they want for Christmas! I've added the link to the products I want so you can check them out for yourself! Check out my list here: FACE MASKS
2ND GENERATION ECHO DOTI am interested in the Echo Dot (2nd Generation) bundled with the Sengled 2 Bulb Kit. The bulbs are "smart lightbulbs" that can be controlled by Alexa, the virtual assistant used by Amazon. I am thinking of just getting this for Jonathan and I as a household gift!

DONATIONSYou can send me a donation via PayPal by using my email address, gisaacsagawind@gmail.com, or on CashApp with the username $GabbieJona. If you send a message with your donation, I'll be sure to shout you out on my blog and on all of my social media platforms! CONCLUSIONThanks for checking out my Christmas wish list! I hope some of these were inspiring to you so you can tell your family what you'd like for Christmas!
