I have received compensation or other consideration from Simon in exchange for this post.
Let me tell you, it has been a while since I stepped foot in a shopping mall. But on a sunny day in November, I set out to get some holiday shopping done. I’ve been doing a lot of my shopping online but it just doesn’t cut it as far as deals, or those random ideas you have when you just see a gift and know it’s going to be perfect.
Well the bonus for me when I decided to stop by Albertville Premium Outlets was that a lot of the walking is outside, so you’re not in a big enclosed mall. Secondly, they’ve taken great precautions when it comes to shopping there. The staff is all masked and socially distanced, they put limits on the amount of people in stores, and it was very easy to keep my distance from others while in store while staying masked myself.
I really had missed the deals, I won’t lie. I REALLY had missed the deals. I went a little overboard with my shopping that day, let me tell you. I started at the Nike store and worked my way from one side to the other. I like to park in the middle because it makes like a full circle from start to finish.
From Nike to Under Armour, I found some really good deals on cozy winter gear for the kids. I also found some gifts for family members who love UA apparel. Their tops were almost 50% off, which was a great score!
Speaking of kids apparel, one of my favorite stops this day was at Carter’s. They had SUCH good deals on pretty much everything. I got so many outfits for my girls, and of course some matching Christmas pajamas. I get these every year from Carter’s and they’re so dang cute and always a steal! This year, they even have matching adult pajamas – in case you can talk your hubby into wearing them. I can’t, but props to you if you can!
One of my all-time favorite stores at the Albertville Premium Outlets is Lululemon. I definitely spend way too much there, but since it’s an outlet store, you are able to get way more for much less. This day, I ended up getting a new pair of swim trunks for my husband and I may have possibly purchased a few things for myself. Mom needs holiday gifts too! I’m thinking I can just stuff them in my stocking and consider them a Santa gift.
There are a couple stores that most people don’t know they can find at Albertville Premium Outlets. One of my best kept secrets is The North Face store – which always has incredible deals. And also American Eagle – where you can always find cute cozy clothes either for yourself or for gifts.
If I’m stumped on what to get my husband for any occasion, I usually just walk into The North Face and there will be something. And it’s always on sale there, so it’s a win-win for me!
I had to get a pair of these jean joggers because they’re adorable and comfortable. And, these matching face masks and scrunchies are so 2020 that they’d make a great gift or stocking stuffer for any teen or college kid. Or even as a white elephant gift!
American Eagle is a pretty big store, so once you walk in you have lots to look at. This includes a large men’s section and an even larger women’s section. Plus they always seem pretty well-stocked so I don’t have to worry about not finding the right size which is always a relief.
Another store I always enjoy going into because it’s so darn pretty is Kate Spade. They always have such gorgeous accessories. Of course they’re known for their handbags but they have beautiful clothing and jewelry as well. It’s always fun to just poke around and see what you can find for a good price.
We also have two more go-to stores when we go to Albertville Premium Outlets. The first one is Columbia, and the second is Old Navy. They are always both well-stocked and at their outlet prices, we always find such good deals. For gifts, Columbia is great for cozy, high-quality socks, bags, or outdoor gear including coats, sweatshirts, snow pants, backpacks, and of course hats, mittens, scarves. I found these super cute pullovers for just under $20 that would make for such cozy winter wear, for yourself or for a friend. Or both – I’m not here to judge.
And at Old Navy, I always stock up on essentials. They always have such good deals on pajamas this time of year, so I love giving gifts of cozy pajama pants or tops, or even slippers sometimes if you get lucky! Their flannel pants are SO nice and warm, I bought a few for gifts and a pair for myself. You can never really be TOO cozy this winter, right?
There are so many personalized gifts you can find just shopping the Albertville Premium Outlets, I was able to score some amazing deals on gifts and maybe a few for myself, it’s only fair! I hope you feel inspired with some gift ideas here, and when you’re ready to mask up and check out the deals – you know where to find them.
Happy shopping!
Sarah
