2017 Holiday Gift Guides

Even more gift guides are now available.  I’ve curated three new gift guides; for the hostess, for cozy gifts, and luxury gifts.   I’ve made the shopping super easy for you guys too. Simply click on the image or the link in the text to shop all the items in each guide. The items are also listed individually below each guide.

 

Hostess Gift Guide

With the holidays upon us it means that there are a ton of holiday parties going on.  I’ve always believed that bringing a hostess gift is a must to any party.  The hostess give is a symbol of appreciation for the host of the party.  I used to bring a bottle of wine with a bow on it to every party I went to, but as I got a little bit older I abandoned that idea and starting bringing actual gifts.  I wanted to genuinely show my appreciation for the hard work the host has put into the event.  

I tend to make my hostess gift appropriate for the event.  For example, to a summer BBQ I may bring a basket of beers and burger seasoning mix, or for a fall dinner party I would bring a leaves-scented candle and a mini box of vosges chocolate, which is my favorite Chicago-made chocolate brand.  At the holidays you can pretty much bring anything as a gift. I like to make my holiday hostess gifts a bit more focused on the home and add in a little holiday flare.

Pineapples are a symbol of warmth and welcome and every home should have at least one or two.Candles make great gifts, this winter themed candle is great to create a cozy environment.  It’s also made by an Illinois couple and that is important to me, as I love the state I live in.  I also love the packaging of this candle. | Home goods are also great gift ideas.  This cheese serving set  is beautiful and will become a favorite for anyone you give it to.  Another personal favorite gift is appetizer plates and mugs, they can be used year round. | Giving traditional holiday decor items is a nice touch around the holidays.  I was once gifted a beautiful  boxwood wreath and I truly treasure it, its one of my favorite holiday pieces. This miniature gold tree is adorable and can be incorporated into existing decor.  And finally a personalized throw is a thoughtful gift that can be used year round.

 

 

Cozy Woman’s Gift Guide

Who doesn’t love to be cozy when its cold outside?  These gift ideas for cozy winter days and nights are great gift ideas.  I do have one problem with my gift guides though, I want everything for myself!  

 

 

Luxury Gift Guide

I typically spend a reasonable amount of gifts, but once in awhile I love to go all out and splurge on gifts for my family or even myself.  I do this during the holidays or for a special occasion like a milestone birthday or anniversary.  These also aren’t gifts I buy on a whim, I think about it and save for months for them.
