Old Navy Donates to This Way ONward This Holiday Season
Give Back and Cross Every Name Off Your List When You Shop at Old Navy This Season
I was writing out my shopping list the day after Thanksgiving when it dawned on me that I have seven — yes, seven — nieces and nephews! Holiday shopping becomes less fun and more stressful when you don't feel like there is enough time (or money) to get it all done. That's why this year, I'm taking advantage of Old Navy's free curbside pickup. Not only is buying online and picking up in store about 1,000 times more convenient than your typical shopping experience — no delayed shipping or long lines for me, thankyouverymuch — but this Giving Tuesday, Old Navy announced that from now until Dec. 24 they will donate $10 for every store pickup order, up to $1 million, to its Job Opportunity Program This Way ONward, which provides young people with the skills they need to succeed in the workforce, changing lives with first jobs. Old Navy has already hired over 800 people from the This Way ONward Program this holiday season and has provided jobs and mentoring to 10,000 diverse youth from underserved communities. With the support of customers, Old Navy has donated $1.8 million to the program thus far in 2020 and is on track to hire 20,000 youth by 2025.
Something for everyone on my (massive) list? Check. Safe, contactless shopping? Check. Doing good for others? Check, check. Thank you Old Navy for making me feel and look good this season. If you want to get in on this shopping experience, see what's in my cart right now.
For My Homebody Sister-in-Law
I plan on keeping her in the cozy with a patterned flannel pajama set ($28, originally $40). Works for sleeping, baking cookies, or a Hallmark movie marathon!
For My Real BFF
Arguably the most deserving on our lists, our pets deserve the world — but a festive sweater ($12) works, too!
For My "Camera-On" Husband
Is your husband constantly on Zoom meetings? Does his office have a camera-on rule like mine? I plan on helping him look the part (while still being comfortable) with a few of these shawl-collar sweaters ($50) this season.
For My Niece Who Is Cooler Than Me
My niece has an amazing sense of style — I'm usually jealous of the looks she pulls together! I think this on-trend sherpa/nylon hybrid jacket ($35) will fit right into any Gen-Zer's wardrobe.
For My Favorite Little Dude
We're gearing up for a winter spent close to home, but we're determined to make the most of this extra time together. I want to make sure my son gets outside at least a few hours a day — snow or shine — so I'm stocking up on winter accessories like this beanie and mittens set ($20).
For My Brand-Spanking New Nephew
My nephew was born just a month ago, so there isn't much on his Christmas list this year. That said, you can't go wrong with a OTT-adorable little bear sherpa suit ($27).
For Our Office Gift Exchange
This little Advent calendar ($12) is adorable and affordable! I love that I can pair it with something else and I'll still be under my $25 limit.
For My Virtual Workout Buddy
Is there such a thing as too many sports bras? I think not. This galaxy printed sports bra ($20) is the perfect gift for my accountability partner who has been motivating me to get up and work out for the past few months.
For Myself
I have no shame. These cozy sherpa slipper booties ($27) will be coming home and staying with me.
For My Pregnant Bestie
Having been there, I can say that I too thought I could make it through my pregnancy without having to buy a maternity coat. My best friend is determined to squeeze her belly into her standard medium-size jacket, but I think I'm going to get her this chic maternity oversized plaid tie-belt overcoat ($87) since it's so cute and so reasonable!
