What to shop in December 2021: seaweed baths, tie-dye, and more
The thought still counts...even if your gift is now a bit delayed. This time, it may be the late bird that gets the worm. To make room for new inventory, retailers often advertise sales the minute the Christmas rush is over, leaving you deals on top of deals to shop for late holiday gifts or just a "you made it through 2021" present for yourself. Hey, we all deserve it.
Whether you're shopping for forgotten in-laws or you're looking for ideas to treat yo' self, look no further than what we're buying this month.
Perfect for any New Year's Eve fete, festival season, or just simply weekend brunch, a metallic bag just big enough to hold your essentials has as much utility as your favorite pair of jeans. Go on, splurge on yourself. Then, collect Gold — and subsequent cash back (terms apply).
