Santa Sacks

While perusing over at Design Dazzle...

I stumbled across these precious Santa Sacks...

I love this idea...

Each child leaves out a "Santa Sack" on Christmas Eve night

and when Santa comes

he puts his presents for them in each of their sacks...

I like it because "Santa" doesn't wrap his gifts

at our house and this would be a neat way

for "him" to display them...

Christmas Wrapping

Wouldn't you agree there is a difference between

a wrapped gift and a finely wrapped gift?

Here are some beauties to get you motivated...

Gorgeous aren't they?

You can get the instruction on how to create these masterpieces here...

A Homemade Gift

I remember seeing this last year from Design Dazzle

and was most impressed then...

So I was quite happy when I stumbled across it again...

I love this idea as a gift...

Cookie dough...

It doesn't sound that exciting but for a neighbor or coworker 

that likes to enjoy homemade cookies but not "make" them

this is perfect!

And notice how fabulous these look all bundled up

and ready to go...

This...

turns in to this...

Pop over to Design Dazzle for all the specifics
on how to create these beauties...
You'll be glad you did!

Polka Dotted Travel Mugs

This is definitely on my Christmas List...

A simple gift that would get a lot of use

and that is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!

Don't you just love those polka dots?

Trish McEvoy Candle

Since Christmas is right around the corner and many of us are scrambling for last minute gift ideas, I thought I'd share my most favorite candle of all times...Trish McEvoy's Wild Blueberry Vanilla. I'm really not a big candle person but this is one I love! I set it out in a room and it acts as an airfreshner without being lit. You gotta love that! And when it is lit, the scent is intoxicating. It's strong but in a fab way. This would make a lovely hostess gift...Santa, I've been a good girl...can I have one in my stocking? Pretty please?

You can order this from Bloomingdale's
