Holiday Gift Ideas With JCPenney

Have you started your holiday shopping yet?  I like to start early in the season so I can put some thought into each gift, but not too early that I am not yet in the holiday spirit. I enjoy shopping when the stores are decorated and the holiday music is playing.   JCPenney challenged me to create a few gift ideas for some of my favorite people. I was happy to learn that I could buy a few of our most trusted brands at great prices.

With my list in hand, I headed out to my local JCPenney store to get my shopping started.  The first person I had in mind for a Gift Toast was my sister-in-law.  She works very hard at her job so I thought about what she enjoys doing in her off-time and came up with this gift idea for her.  She is an avid reader and she likes to relax at home.  I was delighted to find a pretty red Kitchen Aid® tea kettle, just perfect for the season!  Next, I spotted a display of mugs with initials on them so I grabbed one of those too. Finally, I added a JCPenney Home™ Cozy Spun Throw in a lovely grey winter pattern.  Now she has everything she needs to a cozy afternoon of reading by the fire this winter.

I think this is a great gift for a "Relaxing Reader".

My next gift is for my favorite guy.  When I spotted JCPenney's large Levi's® department, I knew I would start there.  My husband, Billy, loves his Levi's® 559™ jeans and JCP has them for a great price.  I easily spotted his choice style and size.  Then, I chose a St John's Bay® puffer vest in a great red color and a St. John's Bay ® Quarter Zip sweater that would be perfect for the winter weather.  

I am calling this outfit a gift for the "Mountain Man".  Rustic clothing choices are everywhere this season and I am loving it.  This will be the perfect outfit for Billy to wear on vacation in the mountains this year.

Next up, I was looking for a smaller gift to give my girlfriend who hosts a huge holiday party every year.  After all of that party planning, she will need to take a bath to relax.  I hit up JCPenney and purchased a gift set of Philosophy bath and shower gels.  This is a gift for a "Happy Holiday Hostess". 

Philosophy products are my go-to bath gels and I know she will enjoy them too.  I added a nice new towel from the bath department and I had the perfect hostess gift.  I think this would also be a great gift idea for a teacher on your list.

JCPenney will be a having lots of great deals for Black Friday.
