'Tis the time of year to always have a selection of easy gifts to grab as you're running out the door.  I've put together my favorite one-size-fits-all, budget friendly gifts for $10-20.  They are just the thing for teachers, neighbors, birthdays, friends, & hostesses.  Red Wrap, $16 Ivory Scarf, $12 Red Scarf Above, $12 Quite often, I wrap a pretty set of Taper Candles up in a bow and present that to our Hostess as a gift.  They always get rave reviews if they've never seen such beautiful candles in these gorgeous colors. The 15" Celebration Candles in Gold are always a favorite to give for a birthday or anniversary. I love giving Tablets to friends and teachers, too.  Because these are so classically simple in design, they will suit anyone's aesthetic.  They are also seasonless.  They come prepackaged in a cellophane bag with a logo sticker, ready for giving. LePens are such a treat for anyone.  They are a perfect gift to a teacher. For ...

I love wrapping gifts.  I have always used simple light weight craft paper and really fabulous ribbon.  I wrapped this first stack of gifts this week using a combination of all different ribbons - some old, some new.  I used some classic Christmas colors, but then added some favorites from years and seasons past.  I think the eclectic-ness adds a charm factor that matchy-matchy doesn't quite acheive. My favorite ribbon, tags & packaging, here > I think my hands down favorite is this fabulous wide green satin.  So pretty and silky. Most of the ribbon has been restocked here > This slate colored ribbon (from last season) looks so pretty with the light green snowflake tag. I think red berry tag looks very sophisticated when paired with the rust colored velvet. Tags, 10 for $4, here > Here, I've paired the green satin ribbons with the Green Snowflake Tag & the Old Fashioned Wreath Tag.  If you go matchy-matchy, might as well go all out! The Dar...

Each season I select a collection of Handmade Copper Cookie Cutters for the Holidays.  This year's new addition is the Gingerbread Man.   I can't wait to make him with this Gingerbread Recipe and decorate with Cream Cheese frosting and sprinkles like we did in this photo.  I might even make some to dry as ornaments and string them as a garland - how sweet would that be? While I love iced sugar cookies, decorating doesn't have to be fancy - or even require any skill.  These were delicious and beautiful and so easy to make.  Here are my baking essentials (all recently restocked) that will make holiday baking simple : Holiday Baking Essentials : Parchment Paper , $10 for 100 Large Baking Sheet , $8 Small Baking Sheet , $7 Disposable Piping Bags , $14-18 for 100 Copper Cookie Cutters , $15.50-24 Cookie Boxes Cello Bags Gingerbread Man Copper Cutter, $15 Reindeer Copper Cookie Cutter, $15 These Gingerbread House are so much fun to make - and so much easier than maki...
