Happy indie shopping and Happy Indie Holidays!

I know some of you went to the mall today and I’m going to let it slide, because I know Black Friday at the mall often has more to do with the whole spectacle of it than the actual shopping…and it’s when Santa arrives too. But, after today it’s got to end. Leave the mall shopping to the mall rats and do some indie shopping instead. You can find more unique, one-of-a-kind, imaginative, often better made and just downright cooler gifts from independent designers and crafters. Aunt Betty can buy her own sweater, and probably would prefer to, so buy her an indie made gift and knock her freaking socks off!

Here’s a few ideas—and a few discount codes to help you out.

The first featured ‘12 Days of Indie Holiday Shopping’ shop is Bella Luccè, one of my all-time favorite bath & body shops. Bella Luccè products are made with high quality all-natural ingredients and that makes all the difference. They are among my favorite luxurious decadent treats and their products make the kind of gifts your friends will never forget.

There’s the Wildberry Silk & Honey Lotion and Body Wash, which is light, sweet, fruity and extra softening and moisturizing–I really love the fruity, but not overpowering smell that lingers on your skin all day long from this scent. The Gingerbread & the Cranberry Fig Lotion, Body Wash & Sugar Scrub combos are the perfect holiday themed body delights. The Peruvian Chocolate Bliss Crème is very accurately named and will make the perfect stocking stuffer for your favorite chocoholic. The Vanilla-Coconut Whipped Shea is the ultimate skin-softening luxury and you should totally wrap this one up for yourself to put under the tree. Finally, the Chianti & Grape Seed Crush Body Scrub, which is my all-time favorite Bella Lucce product, will totally wow your giftee with its luxurious mix of Mediterranean olive oil, crushed grape seeds, blackberry fibers and luscious red wine.

Use the discount code INDIE12 from November 19th-30th for 12% off your Bella Luccè purchases. Bella Luccè is also offering free shipping on orders over $75–no code is necessary.

Plus, leave a comment on this post for your chance to win the Bella Luccè Cranberry Fig Deluxe Holiday Gift Set, pictured below and valued at $75. I will pick one random commenter to win the Gift set. This contest will end at 11:59 PM EST, November 19th. THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED!

I want to tell you about a new site called IndieSave.com. IndieSave.com offers coupons, deals, sales and more promotional offers from your favorite independent designers and shops. Similar to other coupon code sites, except with one major difference…IndieSave.com specializes in only indie sites.

IndieSave.com is a one-stop blog for all major promotions in the indie scene. Shoppers can visit and browse by discount amount or search for their favorite shop. Shoppers also have the option of signing up for the newsletter which delivers a daily email if any new promos have been added. Check it out!

It’s here! The Indie Fixx Shop is finally here! I have been working behind the scenes for months now putting the shop together and finally my baby is all finished and I have opened my virtual doors today. The shop is, of course, filled with independent designers, crafters and artists who you have seen featured right here on Indie Fixx. You will find items from the whimsical to the practical, but all will be handmade, totally unique and not found at the mall.

I’m offering a special coupon code just for Indie Fixx readers. Just use code indiefixxgrand10% at checkout to receive 10% off your order. All orders today will also receive special goodies as well!

Enjoy and please let me know what you think!

I bought some stuff the other day at Nut and Bee and I received my order yesterday. It included a special discount for code 10% off for me to share. If you use the code for 10% off, I will also get a voucher for 10% off your order to be used towards my next order. So, 10% off for you and 10% off for me too. Your discount code will be manually refunded to you after the transaction goes through. The Nut and Bee discount code is 11TS15. The offer ends October 11th, so if you’ve had your eye on something at Nut and Bee, make sure to order before then.

Nut and Bee offers prints, stickers, bookplates, notepads and other goodies with their cute and sometimes silly illustrations. I’ve been a long time fan.

Want to see some of my favorite fall jewelry designs? Then you must take a look at the Indie Fixx Fall Jewelry Guide. I went looking for the best in indie jewelry design and I’ve included some fresh new finds and some oldies but goodies in this guide. You will find everything from bold and beautiful to delicate and dreamy and every single one of them are designs I covet. You will also find some special coupon codes from shops like Odette NY and Shy Siren just for Indie Fixx readers.

Take a look, you won’t be disappointed and you just might find your new favorite designer. Plus stay tuned for some surprise contests in which I will be giving away goodies donated by a few of the chosen designers. The first contest will take place next week and you will just have to check back to see what I will be giving away.

Also, make sure to visit the Jewelry Guide sponsors, they make some gorgeous jewelry as well and were lovely enough to sponsor the guide.

Jewelry Guide sponsors include:
