Hello friends! I am very excited to share my 2018 gift guide with you.This gift guide centers around local businesses in Great PNW as well as some good deals for those sticking to a budget(essentially this is a gift guide for me.) Also find out how I got back over $200 by shopping online.
This time of year can be stressful, both financially and mentally. I always want to give gifts that are original but with so many people to shop for I don’t want to spend my life’s savings. (crying internally) This is quick, simple and guaranteed to delight guide!

SMART SHOPPING ONLINE
If you’re going to shop online doesn’t it make sense to get some money back? I’ve been using EBATES and DROP and have a combined savings of $800 over the past 5 years! Ebates offers cashback in store and online. Link a card on Drop and earn cash rewards on everyday purchases.
It sounds salesy but there’s no downside! Seriously, I get rewards everytime I fill up my gas as Safeway. Every quarter I get a check from # from all the online shopping I’ve done.
*Ebates is an affiliate link. you get money I get money

Have a safe sane and budget friendly holiday season!
Love, Aiko
