Have you ever been around people who just radiate joy? People who light up a room with their smile? People that you’d like to carry around in your back pocket?
I’ve met people like that throughout my life, but never have I met so many joy-filled people in one place.
Friends, welcome to the Hizzy.
It’s what StitchFix lovingly calls their warehouse, and let me tell you — #hizzylife is where it’s at. As you may know, I had the opportunity to visit StitchFix headquarters and warehouse, and I’ve shared a few photo snippets of my time with StitchFix — and told you a little bit about giftcards for the holidays!
Well today, I’m going to tell you a little more about what makes StitchFix so special, the perfect gift to ask for — or give! — and then in the spirit of giving, I’m going to give away some of my credit to 2 of you!
Let’s play a game, shall we? Remember those picture games, where you pick out what is similar and what is different? You know, like in the Highlights magazines at the dentist. “Find 10 things that are different about these two drawings.” Today, I’d like you to find the common thread in these photos. Ready? Go.
Do you see that joy? Yup. Pretty difficult to ignore, eh? It is also completely contagious, and all of us caught it pretty bad while we were there.
{Did you also happen to see the giant robot made of boxes? Harlow saw that photo and yelled “mommy!!! A ROBOT!!!!” in my ear so loudly it’s still ringing.}
Because y’all they build robots from boxes, play awesome music, laugh a lot, challenge chatterboxes to not speak for a day — and they do all of this while taking incredible pride in the work that they do for all of us ‘fixers.
{They even humor crazy nordic-blondes when said blonde challenges a few of them to a fold-off. Y’all. We should all start taking photos of our folded fixes before we dive into trying them on — these folding artists are off the charts.}
You see that gorgeous gal on the right? That’s UhOh, as I like to call her, Sharon is what she goes by, and she is the Hizzy Boss Sauce, Leader Extraordinaire, and Most Joyful of Joy Givers in All the Land. I know, I’m a total dork, but seriously — I miss these people!
We had the chance to walk around and meet every team at the Hizzy and learn about what they do. Everything and everyone worked as such a cohesive team, it was incredible to see every piece involved in a Fix getting out the door! One thing I noticed right away was how well spoken everyone was, what pride they had in their work, and how much they loved sharing all the little aspects of what they do with us.
It all boils down to this:
When you open your Fix and instantly feel like someone took the utmost care to pack a box of gorgeous clothes just for you… if you feel as if someone took time with each step, making sure it feel specials and unique each and every time you open that box. If you feel like there is love and joy just oozing out of your Fixes each time you pull back the flaps….
You. Are. Right.
I wish you all could see the love and care that goes into your fixes first hand. I wish you all could see how much the StitchFix team at HQ and the Hizzy care about each and every one of you. Hopefully you are able to see a small glimpse of it through these photos! In my dream world, I would grab a videography team and walk through StitchFix HQ and Hizzy interviewing each employee and sharing this very special company with you all even more. But until then, I’ll share with you a few additional things!
Giftcards!! If you realized you still need a few last minute gifts or you don’t know what to ask for — Ask for a StitchFix Giftcard. Leave the styling up to the experts — give the gift of an expert stylist to someone you love! You can order them here!
In case you were wondering, the joy doesn’t start or stop at the Hizzy. HQ, StitchFix’s Headquarters, is full of another amazingly joyful, caring and hardworking team. See?
And now? Let’s give some StitchFix love away!
Because I want to pass along the joy of StitchFix, I’m giving away $50 credit to TWO of you from my StitchFix credit. Enter below!
Anything! Momma of 3 is happy for any Fix I could get LOL! Love it all. ;)
xo! love that outlook!
LOVE StitchFix! I am hoping for another awesome box in my next fix!
that is a perfect thing to hope for – i think!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE stitchfix!
{fist bump fist bump fist bump!}
I love stitchfix! I have some ideas brewing for my next fix but top on the list are some structured high quality skinny jeans, a heavy tribal sweater, and a nice trench coat! So random! I love this post!
oh! my favorite sweaters are always StitchFix — especially a Tribal one that I adore!!
Hi Kacia, great photos, and thanks for offering this! I would ask for basic tall leggings, high waisted long skinnies, a cowl neck cape, and comfy turtle neck sweaters! Wouldn’t that be grand?
OH!!! I like that list a lot!!
I love and miss you all. Thank you for this beautiful post, Kacia!! Everyone at Hizzy was sent a link to it and are reading it as I type. Our COO was also super blessed via posts from you ladies. Please come back soon. <33
And appreciate the shoutout. Boss sauce. LOL!
you are SO the Boss Sauce :) Hope all of that was okay to say!!! I adore you, lady UhOh!! miss you all SO SO SO VERY MUCH!
A holiday dress! Needing some more color in my wardrobe! Love this company.
OH!! Love that!
Oh, wow. This is such a great idea! I have actually been feeling like I need an overhaul (I seriously wish the makeover scenes in teen movies were frequent occurrences in real life…because I need one!). I feel like, at 30, I should start dressing a little better…and maybe wearing heels, so those would be on my list as well as a pair of pants that actually fit correctly, and a blazer that could work for work and casually. Thanks for the giveaway! I am thrilled about this!!
OH!! They have some of my FAVORITE blazers!!
I’d love a cozy sweater right about now!
ACK! me too — as I have socks, and about 3 layers on everywhere! SO COLD!
K, I’d seriously love anything from StitchFix! Got my first fix awhile ago and sent everything back. Would love to give it a second try!
OH BOO!! go through and review your profile – make sure you’re marking what YOU like – not what you like on other people!!
I am a stay at home mom trying to break out of my yoga pants rut so I would ask for some stylish tops to pair with jeans or leggings for easy, fast outfits
YES!! i’m ALL about those quick go-to staples! StitchFix has helped me create those in my wardrobe!
Have tried stitchfix twice, honestly, haven’t had the best of luck…but itching to try one more time and need a good excuse! :)
$50 is a PERFECT excuse, I think!! Call me – let’s chat about your style profile… – well, call me when i get a new phone or this one miraculously turns on :)
I have been itching to try stitchfix so this would be perfect:)
oh!! yay! would love to see what you get!
Just signed up for my 3rd Fix! Cant wait! LOVE giving giftcards so all my girls can experience the StitchFix glory right with me!
I love that!! it’s definitely more fun to have others getting fixes too!!!
I would ask for a chunky sweater!
I requested a jewel tone tab sleeve shirt and a cute dress I can wear with tights and boots. I’d love to win the gift card! What a cool giveaway.
I would ask for cute pieces that are easily layered and maybe a statement necklace!
A holiday dress!
jeans or a dress. Because they are always needed and always fun.
LOVE this! I’ve been a stitchfix addict for a while and it’s nice to see that they’re just as fun in person as you would expect. Wonder if they’re hiring ;)
Work clothes!
I’m a first time momma and almost in my second trimester, which means this bump is gonna GROW! I would ask them to help me find things to make me feel beautiful again, whether its just accessories, or even some loose fitting tops to get me through!
I’ve gotten two fixes and I LOVE stitch fix. They are just so cool – it seems like that’s where all the cool kids hang out :) I’m really hankering for a black and white cardigan with the cool folds in the front …
Cardigans. I am not big on fashion but have started to get more into it and want to change my wardrobe up and have fallen in love with cardigans.
I’m already Stitch Fix obsessed, so in my next fix I’d love a new pair of great denim!
I asked for fun and colorful casual fall clothing!
I love stitchfix and my next one comes tomorrow. I am hoping for something super fun to wear for the holidays!
I am waiting for my second fix to come this week! I loved everything in the first box and have really expanded my wardrobe with pieces I would never even look twice at buying at a store. I would use the gift card to on this coming fix :)
Stylish looking t-shirts!
I would love some fresh new pieces for the new year – something with color.
I just scheduled my first fix for January. This credit would be awesome to have! Thanks for sharing!
Love!
I would love a new dress to wear for the holidays or some cute accessories!
Some new skinnies or a jacket!
I would ask for some warm sweaters!
Hi there! I just found your blog through PB Fingers and love it! You’re so inspiring, and so talented. As an artist, writer and blogger myself, your work is really inspirational, and you seem so kind hearted:)
To enter the giveaway, the answer to your question is:
” I would love to have my some new pants, especially jeans. I have one or two pair at most that fit. After I recovered from an eating disorder, I quit buying too many at one time, not sure if my weight would be stable. That being said, since it has for one year now, I’d love to have “denim” makeover!” Thanks for the giveaway!:)
aw! wow!! you are way too kind!!! xoxox!
I would ask for that AMAZING sweater that Raechel is wearing!!! ahhH!! LOVE :)
when you said to find the similarities in the pictures I thought it was “everyone in these pic is painfully artistic and good looking” but then you said Joyful and I was like…oh yeah…that too! In my next fix I would ask for something that is good for Winter but would also work for early spring since I like to travel out of my cold climate from time to time….
I would love to get a new blazer and some cute clothes for work!
I need help with JEANS! I’m still stuck back in my jeans being work/play clothes. ;)
And I love a bit of feminine flair with my down-to-earth style.
Got a couple of friends who are LOVING StitchFix!
Goodness…I would’ve asked for the perfect dress for a 20s party, but it was last night. So, probably tops—sweaters and other casual shirts.
I’d love to try out StitchFix and this would be the perfect (belated) birthday present since I just celebrated on the day you posted this. :)
I’ve got a Fix scheduled for early January. I’m hoping for a snuggly flow-y cardigan and perhaps a little color and/or prints. I tend to always buy gray & black, so a little color or pattern would be great!
Flowly new to me style tops that I otherwise would not wear =]
Would love to try Stitchfix! There are so many cute new pieces and accessories I’d love to try.
Would love some date night outfits and to try adding some pattern into my wardrobe!
I would love dresses to add to my wardrobe! Stitch Fix is brilliant.
So hooked on Stitch Fix! Hoping for a new vest in my next fix! :)
I am always thrilled with each fix and like the surprise. I did see an adorable Elina Zig-Zag woven coat on Thesimplecitylife.com that I LOVE though!!
Absolutely loved getting my first mystery Stitch Fix box and the care and personal touches they put in it :) hoping for some fabulous, cute dresses and blouses in my next one! Happy Holidays, All!
Warm, cozy sweaters!
I LOVE reading about yours and Raechel’s stitch-fixes on your blogs! I’d love to try it out and would be happy to get some different, more unique things to try! I’d love some long sweaters to wear with leggings.
I really liked my first fix, I guess I’d ask for more color!
i would ask for some geometric patterns :) i own way too many solid items
I would ask for some long sleeve shirts – I don’t have many and it’s cold here! :)
I would LOVE some pretty blouses and trouser jeans!
Jeans!
i have wanted to try stitchfix for a long time!
forgot to answer the question…i would request some dresses that came to my knee to wear while i’m in greece this summer.
