These little gems make life easier, brighter, and sometimes downright hilarious—and we’re here to tell you why.

So grab your coziest blanket, a steaming mug of cocoa, and your favorite playlist (no Christmas music yet—let’s give Thanksgiving its moment). Get ready for 30 days of thankfulness, with a sprinkle of humor along the way!

Day One: Betterhelp

The holidays usher in a lot (and we mean a lot) of family time. Which is great… most of the time… well until your “favorite” aunt asks you when you’re getting married or having kids for the millionth time. 

We get it – family is hard – the holidays are hard. Sometimes you need someone to talk to and process all the feels with. That’s why Betterhelp hits the top of our list for free trials we’re grateful for this November. 

Day Two: Adobe Photoshop

It’s time for your epic family Christmas cards and you have the perfect matching outfits ready to go. But is your family ready to go? 

When the time arrives Dad’s eyes will be closed, Junior will be screaming, and your little princess… well you may be re-evaluating the princess designation and thinking more along the lines of diva. 

And of course, every photo has one person that’s not looking at the camera. If at this point you’re thinking you should have hired a professional photographer, take a deep breath. 

Grab a free trial of Adobe Photoshop and make sure your family Christmas cards are everything you dreamed of.

Day Three: Zip Recruiter 

When Santa shows up for work after imbibing on a little too much holiday cheer… well… your day just got a lot rougher. Finding a new Santa will take precious time away from the people you want to be spending time with around the holidays. 

And it’s the same for any role. When you need to hire, you want to find someone quickly and efficiently. Zip Recruiter will help you find the talent you need in a Zip. It’s definitely worth checking out their free trial. 

Day Four: Amazon Prime

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are quickly approaching, and that means if you don’t want to get trapped in crazy traffic… AVOID THE MALL AT ALL COSTS! 

But how do you get your holiday shopping done when the last place you want to be is an overcrowded store with people fighting over the latest and greatest new gaming system? Amazon Prime is the answer. If you’re not already signed up, this is the time. 

Get free shipping, discounts, and more with an Amazon Prime free trial. 

Day Five: Hallmark+

Are you struggling to find your festive holiday mood? Some years are more difficult than others, we get it. But one thing that always helps? Cheesy Christmas movies on Hallmark+. 

We may know several people (writer included) who are obsessed with them. Yes, they’re cheesy, but they leave you with a smile and in the holiday spirit! If you’re looking for some holiday feel goods you can access Hallmark movies with a free trial of Philo. 

Day Six: LinkedIn Learning

It’s easy to let professional growth go by the wayside as life gets busy. Fortunately, LinkedIn Learning can go wherever you go! 

In the palm of your hand you hold lectures and more that can help you grow your knowledge and enhance your skills. You can listen to your learning on the drive into work or while you shop online. 

Day Seven: FreeUp 

Speaking of busy… As your business ramps up for the holidays freelance help is invaluable. A team of freelancers can help take work off your plate so you can spend more time with your family during the holidays. 

We love FreeUp and when you use our link to sign up, they’ll give you a $50 credit when you make your first hire. 

Day Eight: eharmony 

Tired of your mom trying to set you up on blind dates for the holidays? We’ve all seen this plot in some of our favorite Hallmark+ Christmas movies. 

Take control of your dating life and find The One with a free trial of eharmony or another dating app. Or find a friend who can be your buffer against questions about why you’re still single, who knows, it could become your own real life Hallmark romance. 

Day Nine: Gwynnie Bee

Okay ladies, as long as we’re looking for the perfect holiday date, don’t forget the perfect holiday outfit. Gwynnie Bee is a clothing subscription service that can take your closet from drab to fab.
The best part is that you can wear a dress once and then return it without worrying about dry cleaning or shipping costs.

Day Fourteen: Pet Sitters Plus 

Fido is part of the family, but it’s not always possible to take him or her when you’re traveling to visit the bigger family. When you have to leave your pet behind for the holidays, you want to know they are going to be taken care of well. 

Pet Sitters Plus is a great place to find a pet sitter and make sure that even if your fur baby can’t travel they have a great holiday too. 

Day Fifteen: Energy Up

As the month gets busier and the holidays get closer we know that our energy will be waning and our desire to go to the gym will be lower than normal. However, a quick workout can help boost your energy and there’s no need to head to the gym. 

Energy Up provides home workouts that will get you moving and give you the endorphin rush you’re looking for. 

Day Sixteen: Canva
