**Today's Haul: TJ Maxx Findings and Holiday Stocking Stuffers**

I'm so excited to share my latest haul with you all, and I couldn't have done it without a quick visit to TJ Maxx. I completely forgot that I had yet to show you guys my finds, but today is the day! As I was browsing through the aisles, I stumbled upon some amazing deals that caught my eye.

**Real Techniques Beauty Blenders**

One of my first finds was the Real Techniques Beauty Blender for just $1.99. I wasn't sure if this was a better price compared to Amazon, but I decided to take it home with me anyway. I'm looking forward to incorporating this into my stocking and using it in future makeup looks.

**Loki's Holiday Stocking Stuffers**

Next up were some adorable holiday stocking stuffers for Loki. He definitely needed some new toys, so I picked out a few treats that I thought he would enjoy. One of my favorites was a little tug toy that looked like a cute animal - I couldn't resist buying it for him! The second item was a ball-shaped treat that he could play with, and the third item was another fun toy that could be used to hide treats inside.

**Valentine's Day Finds (Even Though It's Not Yet Valentine's Day)**

As it turns out, my TJ Maxx store was already stocking up on Valentine's Day items! I couldn't resist buying a mug that caught my eye - the polka dots and heart shape were just too cute to pass up. The price was right at $5.99, so I knew I had to have it.

**Vintage Holiday Cards for Junk Journaling**

Another great find was a set of vintage holiday cards that are perfect for junk journaling. I love using vintage images in my projects, and these cards are no exception. They're beautifully designed and will add a lovely touch to any page or project. At just $5.99, they were a steal!

**More TJ Maxx Finds**

As I continued shopping at TJ Maxx, I came across some more great deals. These vintage holiday cards are going straight into my junk journaling collection! They're the perfect addition to my existing stash of vintage images.

**A Surprise Find at Five Below**

I also stopped by Five Below on my way home from TJ Maxx, and I was surprised to find a few fun treats that caught my eye. These little playing cards were only $1 each, and they have such unique designs. The black border around the card is particularly striking - it's going to add a great touch to any future junk journaling projects.

**The Final Finds**

My last finds at TJ Maxx were two more adorable sets of playing cards. One set had a beautiful tiger design that reminded me of an art print, and I couldn't wait to incorporate it into my next project. The other set was equally impressive, with bright colors and fun designs that will add some visual interest to any page.

**A Sneak Peek at My Junk Journaling Kits**

I also wanted to let you all know that I'm still planning on releasing my junk journaling kits this year. Unfortunately, due to a busy schedule and other commitments, they haven't been completed yet. However, if you're interested in purchasing them, they are now available on Amazon - just look for the book with my name on it!

**The Final Goodbye**

And that's all for today's haul! I hope you enjoyed seeing all of my finds from TJ Maxx and Five Below. Don't forget to check out Amber's YouTube video where she shows off these very same cards, including the one that I was still missing. Until next time, thank you for watching, and I'll see you in the next article!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: endirectly behind me is my washer and dryer I don't know if you can hear that I'm sure you can but it's running um today I'm going to do a haul if you didn't watch the last my last two videos I went to Dollar General cuz I was on the hunt for a very specific item and then I was also in Houston so I visited a Dollar Tree that I'm not I've never been to before um so I've got that haul plus I've got a couple of little random things that I bought for myself for Christmas my birthday however you want to look at it they're the same day um so that's what I'm going to share with you guys today so I'm going to sit in this little corner Loki's taking his nap and I just felt like my room was really cozy and I just wanted to film in here so in case you want to watch the decorate with me of my master bedroom I'll link it down below but let's go ahead and get started want to jump into my Dollar Tree haul first if you didn't watch that video I'm pretty sure I showed already in depth kind of in the store while it was still in my cart but just in case I wanted to show it again pretty quickly I'm not going to spend too much time I got these black socks I thought those would actually be cute with like my calf booties um I saw a picture I'll try to throw it up here is it my Pinterest if it was from Pinterest I'll throw up the picture um because I'm pretty sure I saved it but I just really liked the look of like the tights with the socks and then the half booty I thought it was really cute so that's really what inspired this purchase um next up you saw that I got this little item these are the little Crayola suncatchers and you can just paint make them CU I think it's basically clear yeah it's clear um so you would have to paint it to look like that I thought this would actually be really cute junk journaling it could be some type of like charm that I could put in my journal so and they're pretty thin so you know I could work with it for sure um then I found these little fidget pens these are going to be great for stocking stuffer I'm going to open up one of these so you can just see what it does but it's like you know fidgeting or like a stress ball um it's like sensory but you can just kind of like I think there's a rubber band on here yeah so you can just you know and then you could put them all back just like one of those things where you just like kind of play with it but it's also a pen so these are brand new to Dollar Tree I've never seen them there before I picked up these little rhinestone Alpha stickers but they're in Black I recently just H it like in a silver pack so I thought black would be really nice added to my craft room I got these jot ballpoint pens also this gives you a little chart on the thickness of pens This falls in the 0.5 so it is this thickness right there so I got that and then I saw these I hadn't seen these actually for a while these are the little sticky note page Flags I love these for my book log I also sell a version of my book log by the way on Amazon um so I'm going to link my Amazon book logs down below and I'll link my book the one that I constructed it's it takes a lot of work basically so the one that I designed myself on Amazon is just like mine but without all the work but you still get that book log feel so anyways I use these little flags for that then I did pick up this little planner agenda I really like the feel of it like this faux leather it's just a little weekly planner um this is one of my favorite pens to come out of Dollar Tree love it um then I found these brand new clear stamps I've been saying this I was waiting for Dollar Tree to put on new stamps we finally did the microfiber hair wrap this is a really pretty print I feel like this was probably old I feel like this was around for mother's day so I don't know um but that's Dollar Tree for you sometimes then I got these little flash cards cards now these I'm going to be on a massive hunt for I look at flash cards from a jug journaling perspective I think they're really cute um look at these like that is so adorable and if you're kind of confused you're like how why um you know just type in junk journaling and on the YouTube search bar and you know go watch some videos and I mean I have some up as well but these are really cute um so let's say like your color palette okay let's say your color palette is blue purple and pink you know I would come through here okay they don't have pink so let's compromise let's say green purple blue and green are your colors I would go through these little cards and I would pick these out and they would be so cute match oh wait a minute look at those so you know what I mean does that make sense um oh my gosh the yellow ones yeah I'm going to have to find those immediately oh they do have pink see what I mean like that is just absolutely adorable so like let's say your color palette was pink yellow and teal I guess I'm just trying to show how cute these cards can be like I don't know that that's adorable to Me Maybe it doesn't make sense but so I found those so I'm going to have to be on the hunt for more of these and then I picked up these little tattoos but I accidentally discovered um that tattoos actually transfer onto paper I mean I'm not saying I'm the one that discovered that but I never knew of that and I discovered this when I did my Harley Quinn happy planner setup if you've been with me for years and years and years you know what I'm talking about but anyway since then these are cute for planning whatever you decorate your planner um then I picked up these massive amazing Christmas tags with a gingerbread I was so sh again this is a Dollar Tree from Houston I have not seen some of these things here in Dallas then I picked up these um gift tags are some of my favorite actually you can definitely pause the screen if you want to take a longer look at it um these are so OG for me Dollar Tree has been selling Christmas tags like this for as long as I can remember and I still have some of the ones from like back from 2012 anyways so got those and then no one is surprised that I walked away with these two bags because they're just absolutely adorable so love that Santa's like his whole car foiled um but that is what I picked up from the Dollar Tree in Houston now let's get into Dollar General so with the Dollar General there are items actually that I don't think you guys really got to see because the whole premise of the video that I did was taking you guys into two different Dollar General stores because I was on the hunt for some card game games some Christmas card games in which I was able to find three of the four I'm still still searching for the four but out of going into those $2 generals this is what I came out with so I got these lights right here they're $5 they just have that really beautiful vintage look to them and I'm already thinking and collecting things to begin decorating my guest bedroom and I definitely want to go in a Ralph Lauren vintage Vibe and I thought these would just be perfect I don't know I could just like you know put some on a nightstand somewhere else like so I got that then this is just an item that I need in my junk drawer I have to have packing tape so I got that and then probably my best favorite find of Dollar General were these chest pieces well they're just the the night right so I got two in this size I mean they're stunning and they were four the this size was $4 and then I found a larger one and the larger one was $6 and I just thought this also very much is going to go in line with my Ralph Lauren theme cuz I also like horses and equestrian and like Fox hunts I don't know things things like that I definitely see as Ralph Lauren in my mind whether it is or not I don't know um so I'm very excited for those in this bag I picked up the these stickers they have that Varsity look to it they're nice and thick actually I don't remember what this ended up bringing up it might have been like $250 or $3 so there's that then I picked up this Grinch card I'm pretty sure I already have this card from Dollar General actually um I didn't see much of a Christmas card selection this year from the stores I went to but it is like December 14th or 15th today I don't even know what day it is um I picked up these cute little heart paper clips again no clue what the price was on that and then I picked up these little stationer papers they're cards and envelopes and this like brown paper bag look and then just in white they're just craft stuff they I think they were in the wedding section but for sure I could use these for drun journaling so I got for that and then I found this with a cute little strawberries I was very excited about about it look at that price strawberries are probably like my top favorite fruit in terms of on anything like a makeup bag or stationer or a calendar like I freaking love strawberries so I got that okay then I picked up these really cute gift tags and look at Dollar General with giving us these for a dollar you know it makes me like want to post them on my Instagram and tag Dollar Tree but be wrong um that's that's a little that was that was a bit much but like anyways these little tags are super cute they're fun to work with from a Jun journaling perspective but obviously great for Christmas gift tags okay in that video I also got a bunch of flashcards cuz like I just explained that so you already know it's like my obsession so I'm just going to show you $1 here's what they look like very cute this one that one that look this one's really cute but it has like words and they're in different colors too so once again that's what I'm looking for I know it probably seems really weird and random but what I'm really looking for is you know is it simple is it does it have color to it cuz you know I do a lot of my junk journaling and color selections so here's this one I guess that's a dupe I got two of those and then I found these I don't know if I actually you guys saw me grab these or not now these were $3 and I'm very excited to open it there's old made in here and Crazy Eights so two games for it double the fun I want to go ahead and open one box cuz I just kind of want to see oh the boxes are super cute so here's Crazy Eights now the thing about this in case you just don't know much about these cards is there these have these are games that one have been around for a very very long time and because of that there's always new prints that like roll into production and also finding vintage ones extremely hard so one of my favorites is old made to search for um but see that is so adorable I it's the color I'm looking for I'm not really so much looking at the people per se it's really like the color palettes and how well can it blend in with like you know my junk journaling so those are really cute here's what this side looks like also very adorable and then I'm going to go ahead and open up crazy8s so that you can see what those look like cuz I haven't even seen them myself Crazy Eights has that like you know player card oh this is really cute I'm glad I got both yeah I really like that so it looks like we're getting purple yellow green and then this color right here there's not a big variety on color but still very cute and I'm excited I found this and then um I found these flash cards too which is really cool has like all around the world country I don't really know I thought let me grab this as a very unique I'll just keep it in my collection and at each store I said that I was going to get a novel and so at this store I picked up the Debbie momer um Dear Santa they have the the sticker over the book but this is Dear Santa and you know I think Hallmark does a lot of movies where she's like off of her books actually so I don't know so I got this one um um you know it's a Hallmark story like that's that all right then in the second store this is where I found the items I was actually on the hunt for um but I walked away with some really amazing finds so then I found these glad Candyland they are Candyland snack bowls what am I going to do with this what the hell am I going to do with this I don't know but I got it you know what I mean um then I picked up the store had the strawberries in the calendar for $2 I thought that was really cute um here is the novel that I picked up at this one slow dancing at Sunrise the place she goes to is called rev Vu Falls all right that's says enough all I need to know that was that was some heavy silence wasn't it um then I picked up these I didn't even know something like this actually existed so I was very excited for this find these are just a stapler and Staples but look at the Staples they're colorful they're cute these are going to be really adorable in Jun journaling sometimes like you staple things and you see the staple so the fact that it's like this really beautiful metallic colorful Staples love it um I picked up this for like a stocking stuffer she loves Spider-Man it's like a little DIY kit I don't know if she's going to do it but I got it um then I got these pet nail clippers these are going in Loki's stocking he definitely needs those um and then I picked up these gift tags very different from the first store that I went to so this was this was the first store and what I found and this was the second store and what I found um very pretty that and then I also found this version the little sticker version super cute I'll just let you guys take a close look that and I believe the backs are different yeah very excited these were a dollar so love that and then I found this cute little bag a dollar like why why is that so cute to me then I found this one which shook me because I love a little Ski Lodge ski or a town on a slope I don't know what it is about it but look at that like that is cute there's people ice skating there's houses there's deer that's just super cute and then I also found it in these so it's it's the same print these were a doar these little like treat bags then I got this version with the gingerbread super cute honestly Dollar General wins in the in the prints for that because Dollar Tree I didn't think really did very much that I liked and I found these cute little felt stickers for a dollar those up and then I got this paper pack I'm pretty sure this paper pack was a dollar but you know just another item to add to my craft room and then I got these tags which of course just screams junk journaling to me like I absolutely love these little tags so I got those and then the items themselves that I was on the hunt for so he here they are um once again I saw Amber from lyric lover crafts she has her own channel that's what it's called lyric lover crafts and and she did a craft DIY using these cards and that's when I was like I'm going to have to I am now going to have to find those cards now she showed four cards I don't know if there's more cards to the collection I imagine it's just the four I missing one of the four but I found old made I found Crazy Eights and I found go fish like what I'm so excited and they look so adorable um so these are going to obviously come in handy when working with you know a Christmas junk Journal like so pretty so bright and colorful I mean honestly Mrs Claus is probably my like look at this candy cane when you junk Journal you you just know when you see things you know um otherwise it's probably very confusing but these would also just be cute to be on the hump for as stocking stuffers for games you know who doesn't love a good little game um here is Go Fish I'm going to open up that as well I'm going to open up all of them cuz I want you guys to see what they look like so today's video is going to be a little bit longer so this is Go Fish so right you're going to have you're going to have sets of four of them which is great because then you know if you're like like let's say you you sell things at a craft fair or whatever it may be these would come in handy for that and here is Crazy Eights I'm very excited to get into Crazy Eights as well Crazy Eights and goish or old ma are probably my favorites and I will even go to like Five Below I will pop into Five Below every once in a while because they'll put out new old made games new Go Fish Games and Crazy Eights so don't don't sleep on Five Below as well for these cute little cards all right so I was able to secure again just three of the four I'm going to keep looking for the fourth one we'll see you know now I'm going to share with you guys a couple of things that I have found either thrifted or I got from eBay so this is a birthday present to myself and it is this vintage Ralph Lauren bag I actually think I may have gotten this for like $4 or $50 from the seller um and I just can't believe it another thing that I feel like has been missing in my bag collection is a shoulder bag I don't remember the last time one I even wore uh a traditional bag I always have been doing a crossbody it's just I hate to admit it but it's so nice when you when you're running a bunch of errands and the bag flings and then sometimes it'll hit you when you're like bending down but I do feel like maybe it's time time it's time to maybe like wear some other different bags while I go out and this vintage Ralph laoren one it's it's sending me to the Moon then I picked up this can't really see very much of it but it's just a long beautiful black uh trench coat is that what you call this um it's like double breasted it's stunning and the price on this also was so incredibly cheap it was like 70 or 80 and most of these will go for like $200 so actually the one that I saw I saw a girl wearing it on Tik Tok it's what inspired me to look for a version of it I think it was either Zara or H&M I don't think it was H&M I think it was Zara and it was like $200 and then if you watch my H&M haul I got a gray one which is gorgeous but I definitely had to have like a black one and what I love about these for me in my style is I am very basic in a sense I also like to take athletic clothing and make it my style my streetwear style and I feel like this can pair with that it can pair with jeans but I also feel like I can wear leggings and travel and go to the airport like this so it has that sporty casual classic look to it so definitely worth the money then I have some thrifted finds I found this cute little little skater book it's kind of like a little golden book but it's not it's called tiptop elf books and it has a list of all the books that were guess in that collection here's another one Little Miss Muffet yeah these are Elf books I don't know um let me see when I went to production this WOW hold on I don't 1856 that is how old this book is I mean it doesn't have the publication date so it could have been like there's no copyright published date on here so this could have been like the 1920s but oh my God that's old that's really old got to take really good care of that and then I found this this little story wagon um has some cute little images of course I definitely want to work with this from a junk journaling perspective and this was 1961 oh Rio Linda Union School District I don't know is anyone is that still a school um and then we have this one with a cute little Story train love the cover I definitely want to like deconstruct this and use this as the cover to a junk Journal and then create my own pages but also keep a couple of the pages um for that but yeah they're just really pretty vintage little books and this one went this was also from California 1961 as well super cute then this guy right here this is probably the weirdest story I'm ever going to tell that's probably not true I've told some weird ones but there's this girl on Tik Tok and she does these videos where she she has an Etsy shop and her videos are where she packages orders on Tik Tok that's what she does so when anyone buys something from her Tik Tok or from her Etsy Shop she packages them on Tik Tok and she'll go through a bunch of different things that she has and she'll pull out papers and she'll add little like goodies to her orders she had this one folder now it wasn't zebra print it was a different print and she would like open it on camera she would flip through it and it looked just like this with like the the plastic and I was just like I have to have that but where is it from I could never figure it out because her camera shoots so close that I couldn't quite figure out where it was from until somebody in the comments asked her where is that folder from and she said Hobby Lobby so then I further did more research to find out that it was actually the paper Studio who put these out and paper Studio actually put these out as a jewelry organizer so I was like I got to have that cuz I want to put my little papers in here too I just really like the whole plastic thing I don't know I don't know why I like it but I like it so I'm going to fill all these up with like little stickers and vintage papers and things like that I really wanted the print that she had I did not want the zebra print but this is what I could find and I'm I'm going to end today's haul actually with TJ Maxx I completely forgot that I have not shown this haul at all so here we go I picked up the Real Techniques Beauty blenders these were $1.99 while I was there I couldn't quite figure out if this was a better price compared to Amazon but I decided to get it I'm going to throw it in my stocking um and then I also picked up Loki some stocking stuffers um he definitely needed some like holiday toy so I got this one I definitely thought that this one would be great cuz it's like how cute is that like a little tug toy and there's not much stuffing that he can like tear out this was $5.99 um then I got him this he doesn't have a ball like this and yeah you can stuff treats in here too which is really cool and this was $6.99 um and then I know it's a little soon but my TJ maxxes were putting out Valentine's Day I did not get this to be honest because I thought Valentine's Day I got it because I thought the mug itself was incredibly precious and I wasn't going to walk away without it $5.99 like I just thought it was cute I love polka dots they always get me the little heart shape beautiful so there's that and my two favorite finds are these holiday cards because you know I'm in a junk journal with them and they are so vintage and I was so shook when I saw these like I I I almost started shaking while I was grabbing it I'm like this is too much it's a hobby it's a hobby gone wrong um or right I don't really know but like look at this image this is just going to make my junk drilling experience so much better I absolutely love vintage images and then the candy canes yeah $5.99 for this set and did I say $6.99 for the set and then look at the envelope it's like foil so cute you can also use the envelopes when you're Jun journaling and then the last thing are just a couple things I just ran into Five Below and I only walked out with this these are little playing cards and I was like okay let me get those they're just a dollar um the store was packed so I was very overwhelmed that's why I only walked out with this but I thought to myself I need to see what these look like on the inside I didn't know if they were just simple or oh these are cool these are very unique first of all look at that love the black on that this is going to look like a really cool set with a Halloween junk Journal but look how different and unique that is and see another thing I'm noticing is the thick border around the card you don't really see a border around playing cards very often so that in itself is going to be a very pretty element to work with with junk journaling these would also be great if you did like a aliceon Wonderland J Journal okay so these did not disappoint this little pack didn't not in the slightest I'm very very happy with that I'm going to go ahead and open these why this tiger is reminding me of something is it like an art print or something I don't really know but what is it reminding me of all right let's open them up oh it's looking very colorful but they're also just playing cards first of all look at the side see like this color palette I'm definitely going to do a junk journal with that color palette so you've got these bright fun Tigers wow yeah very cool also did not disappoint um so love that and if anyone's wondering if I'm bringing my my junk journaling kits back yes they're coming back I actually meant to do Christmas ones again um I just didn't unfortunately I just didn't have the time because of my books my book that I that I wrote um I'm no longer selling or signing them on my Etsy but I think I have them available able on Amazon so if you want to order it through Amazon you definitely can just know it won't come from me um so there's that but that's it that's my haul for today I hope you guys enjoyed um and thanks for hanging out with me I am still going to be on the hunt going to go to Dollar General see if I can find that fourth card set if you want to see what it looks like I'm going to link Amber's YouTube down below and it's like it's like one of her most recent videos so actually I'll link her video down below the one where she shows the card set and you can see the one that's missing that I haven't found yet but that's all thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you next time bye\n"
