Hi there! Welcome to my last gift guide for the 2021 holiday season! I'm so excited you're here, especially since this is an extra special guide for my fellow Minnesotans. In previous years of my #mostlylisagiftguide series I've always hosted a unique giveaway on the last day, so I'm really happy that this year is no different! While this year is smaller than previous giveaways, it's still amazing as the winner will be able to create a lot of memories with what they win.
As I've said, I'm approaching this series now as something to do for fun and have no expectations on the reach this will have. If it reaches a small group of people, that's amazing! If it doesn't, that's still okay and I know that I'll have some loyal followers still participate. It's truly for those "you betcha's" of the Midwest. Keep reading for more information and I hope you enjoy this more budget-friendly guide, as all items are under $50!

Frosted Juniper Candle ($20-$30) | Ski Girl Boxed Set of 8 Cards ($20) | In the Spaces: Poems and Illustrations by Anna Lisabeth ($18) | Black Lives Matter 3" Button ($6) | Small Fall Variety Pack ($13) | STAY ON TRACK DESKTOP NOTEPAD ($28) | Adele - 30 2XLP ($37) | Snowman Projector ($20) | Ceramic Lit Tree Decorative Figurine Pink ($30) | Roses and Hearts Set of Two Glass Tumblers ($28) | UNICORN Nail Polish ($12) | Do One Thing Every Day That Makes You Happy: A Journal ($9) | Mask Duo ($32) | GARDEN PARTY ($6) | The Lord of the Rings Tengwar Script Cuff Beanie ($13) | Foiled Zodiac Constellations Yearly Calendar ($33) | Tickets to The Northern Express ($15-$20)
Since memorable gifts can still be affordable, these are some of my favorite finds that won't hurt your budget and are bound to still impress. Perhaps you have a Secret Santa exchange, (a retro pink Christmas tree would be so much fun), a skincare enthusiast, (a mask duo that will put your skin into a great mood), or for my Minnesotans who want to shop local and enjoy a new holiday experience (which leads into my giveaway)!
I've ✨proudly✨ partnered with a new immersive holiday experience that is coming to the Twin Cities - The Northern Express! Since this season is all about wonder, excitement, and the holiday spirit, I figured what better way than to give back.
So, what is The Northern Express?
The Northern Express is a multi-acre holiday escape where you’ll feel like you’ve escaped to the North Pole or jumped right into a Hallmark movie. The Northern Express will be a treasured family tradition where you can enjoy the magic of the holidays!
🎁Shop a market with 100 small businesses represented and 8 charitable partners
🎄Indulge in decadent treats from top notch neighborhood purveyors
❄️Grab drinks from one of the many bars
Now let's get into the giveaway! You have the ability to win TWO free tickets to the Excelsior location for the weekend of your choosing.
🎄✨GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED! Congratulations to Christin Mielke for winning! ✨🎄

I CANNOT believe that it is already the last day of my #mostlylisagiftguide week! It's literally gone by in a flash and I am so excited for everything that this year has brought in regards to connections, the new brands I've found and just sharing all of this with you guys. It's been a little tough because this entire week I have been battling a cold, but I promised myself that I would get this out for everyone just in time for the holidays and I made sure to push through and get it done. There have been several sleepless nights making sure that this got done right, and I can't wait to take a breather for just a few days after this. That being said, who else is excited for this post today? It's all been leading up to this moment right here, especially if you've seen me post on Instagram, Facebook + Snapchat! When thinking of who I wanted to make this last guide for, it ended up being not for a person but for an item that you could easily add to your wishlist on its own - the Christmas stocking, the piece of fabric you hang above a fire, the best sock ever! What makes this item so special? It's obviously because all everything that can fit inside of it is under $25!

rough draft mini notebook ($12) | hot stuff ceramic mug ($14) | Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels ($8) | limited-edition gallery gals deluxe tarteist™ eyeliner set ($19) | Nest Eau de Parfum Travel Spray Trio ($12) | Seasonal Chocolate Truffle Flight ($18) | Nine and Three-Quarters Enamel Pin ($8) | Village Rewards at Arc's Value Village (Free! Shop + earn points) | Minnesota Tote Bag (SALE: $20) | Voluspa Limited Edition Japonica Mini Candle Set ($24) | Soft Matte Lip Cream Set 10 (Sold Out Online - Still In Stores ($12) | Art of Instruction Botanical Journals ($13) | E35 - TAPERED BLENDING BRUSH ($17) | STANDOUT EYES GEL EYE LINER - UNEXPECTED (SALE: $10) | Golden Wonder ($16) | Bergamot Geranium Hand Soap ($9) | Garland Jar Holder ($20) | Marled Colorblock Trouser Socks (SALE: $10)

There's definitely more than one thing to smile about today! Not only are a day away from Thanksgiving, but TODAY is the #mostlylisagiftguide giveaway launch! I thought it'd be so perfectly fitting to have it be on the day where the gifts I found are for an extra special person. The BFF, the person you can confide in and the person who almost knows you more than your own family does. I feel super special on saying that I can count five people as my best friends, and they all mean the world to me. Keeping those beautiful people in mind, the gifts I came across were generally for women and so much fun to look for. These are people you'd definitely want to spoil this year, so the budget is casually thrown out the window.
So let's get down to it! The second Mostly Lisa Holiday Gift Guide giveaway is now live, and ready for YOU to join. I've been counting down to this for the last week with the gift guides, sneak peeks at the gifts I'm giving away and other promos for you to enjoy. Want to know the deets on the giveway? Let me fill you in then! There are five gifts (plus a surprise extra gift) that ONE person is going to win, and it's just in time for the holiday season. It's going on until Nov. 28th, and the winner will be contacted in 48 hours after they are chosen! The contest is entirely through Instagram, but I wanted to give you other chances to win in the form below! It will also be easier for me to choose a random winner when the times comes to it. Good luck everyone!
