HUGE Holiday Baking Sales and Freebies! #free #holiday #baking

Only 6 Weeks until Christmas!!

Hard to believe, isn’t it? And before that, we still have Thanksgiving Dinner, holiday parties, cookies for Santa, and the rest of the holiday baking! Lots of work, but at least it’s yummy work! And to help make some of that work a little easier, I’ve put together some great freebies and deals to help you prepare for the baking extravaganza that you’ll be doing over the next month and a half. These are all things that I bought myself today, and I think you’ll love ’em! Super discounts, freebies included, and sugary baked goods? Perfection.

My Pick of the Best Holiday Baking Freebies and Deals

Bake Pop KitBake Pop Holiday Decorating Kit: This little kit from BelleChic has everything you need to decorate amazing Bake Pops – for only $6.95! Included: 18 white 4″ lollipop-cake pop sticks, 18 brown 4″ kraft twist ties, 18 small clear cello bags , 9 mini red with white polka dot liners, 9 mini lime with white polka dot liners, 1 small baggie of red, lime and white non pareils, 1 small baggie of red and clear white sparkling sugar, and a Recipe card on how to make the Cake Pops themselves. Or – get the super duper cool set I bought a couple weeks ago, featured next, for the easiest Bake Pops you’ll ever make!

Bake Pops Kits – Buy One, Get ANOTHER ONE FREE: Wow, right? So, you pay just $19.99, and get TWO complete Bake Pop Kits! I kept one for me, and am giving the other set as a gift. {Shhh, can’t tell you who, they might be listening… } Included: 2 Sets of Bake Pop Pans, 2 Recipe and Idea books, 2 Squeeze Bottles for Decorating, 2 sets of pop sticks, and 2 sets of wraps and ties! I had tried to make Bake Pops by hand before, and it never worked well for me. These pans mean I can simply use any boxed cake mix, pour it in, and bake up pops quick, easy, and they look perfect – no more falling apart!

Totsy – Gorgeous Gourmet Sale: Ohmyheck – you might already know about my love of fancy aprons. Totally hooked. A friend gave me the cuuutest little apron for Abby on her birthday – so now she can bake with me! Right now on Totsy, they’re having a GIANT sale on tons of super trendy and fun retro aprons and cleaning gloves! Wearing a fancy apron makes me feel like I know what I’m doing in the kitchen. Or, at least I look like I know what I’m doing, lol. The aprons are all about $30 bucks off regular price – total steal!

Bake Me I’m Yours: This is the cutest book! I ordered this last week {you might remember me telling you about it already} – and I was totally delighted to get it, and flip through all of the fun ideas. {Yes, I just said delighted!} You can order Bake Me I’m Yours.. Over 30 designs for fun sweet treats from Amazon for 34% off – making it less than $10 bucks, with Free Shipping available too! {And, if you’ve got some Swagbucks, use ’em for free Amazon Gift Cards, and get the book totally free like I did.} You’ll love it!

HomeSav Kalorik “Sleek Appliance” Sale Event: Myohmy! There are some super awesome kitchen gadgets and bakeware on here. And everything is on sale up to 80% off, which is darn crazy. I’ve saved up some referral credits {give your friends $10 credit when they sign up, and earn $15 for yourself} – so I used it to buy this SUPER cool food processor. I’ve never had a food processor, always wanted one, and love that this red one will match my kitchen. I’m lovin’ the deal sites lately, and have been getting some super cool stuff for free. Check out HomeSav, I think you’ll like it.Don’t forget – Sign up for UPS MY CHOICE – so you can schedule your deliveries, sign for packages online, and more!
