It's That Time of Year Again....

It's That Time of Year Again....

Feliz Navidad Y’all! I LOVE this time of year! I really think it is because I THINK my love language is gift giving, but I am not 100 percent sure so maybe I should ask Santa for just that! The book-The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Last….hmmmm……Just in case anyone else is curious about their love language I will attach it at the bottom! We could all read it together and discover our love languages along with the people who mean the most to us! BUT….back to the point of this post…

Christmas is a time for giving, but sometimes we get so stressed out about the point of it that we lose the joy. So this week I hope to alleviate some of your burden and make it a little easier for you. I am no expert by any means, but what I do know is that for me personally if I have some ideas in mind and I get on it now and do not wait until the 12th or so of December, life seems to go a little more smoothly……Just saying….

Today, I have put together a few ideas for hostess gifts along with those special friendships in your life where you just want to give them something little to let them know they mean the world to you. Nothing huge, just a small sign of love.

Chocolate! Anytime we go to a Holiday Gathering I bring Chocolate and not just any Chocolate! I bring Sanders! Y’all it is so good it is sick!!!!!!!! The Dark Chocolate Sea Salt and Caramel is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! You cannot go wrong putting this bad boy in a bag with a bow! I promise! I even use this for stocking stuffers with the adults and teens in my life!

For the Wine/Coffee lover in your life this is such a unique fun gift. You can pair it with an adorable coffee mug or alone and it is perfect! This set comes with 3 types so you technically have 3 hostess gifts in one right there! Again this is a perfect stocking stuffer for the adults in your life!



Y’all may think I am crazy, but I swear by this stuff for my sweaters! And as a hostess I ALWAYS appreciate getting gifts I can use! I mean why use the dry cleaners when you can wash your own wool and cashmere and take better care of it! If you have a holiday event that is for just the ladies this is the perfect hostess gift! I promise! Trust me and try thinking out of the box! They will love you for it! And if you are in charge of stocking stuffers this is perfect or a white elephant gift exchange! I promise the ladies will love you for it!

Give the gift of talk! Help your friends and family turn off their cell phones and really engage with one another. I LOVE this gift! Especially in todays day world of technology! We all need to unplug and engage and why not be part of the movement to see this happen! Again this is an incredible stocking stuffer or gift to give to your entire family!

If your hostess loves to work out, but hates to wash her hair like me….TRUST ME ON THIS! Give the gift of dry shampoo! And this stuff smells soooooooo good! I am not kidding! If you have a friend you want to give a small token of love to, give this! You cannot go wrong! I swear! I wash my hair MAYBE three times a week SOMETIMES once and it is because of this glorious concoction! Try it on yourself! I promise you will thank me! This one if for light hair, but they have a dark hair formula too…I will put that below!

A candle is always a good go to….wrap it up in cellophane with a pretty bow and this candle is so clean smelling…..you just can’t go wrong…

These adorable trinket dish set is a perfect hostess gift for the holidays as well as a perfect reminder that He is the reason for the season!

A sweet ornament is always a nice thank you and reminder as well.

So there are just a few ideas for you to choose from and I promise if you just stock up on some of this stuff and wrap it really cute in cellophane or a gift bag your hostess or friend will love that it is a gift they can use! And as promised above here is the book I will be asking Santa to place under the tree so I can learn a little more about my love language! Maybe just maybe it will help me understand my relationships in a whole new light!

Holy Cow Y’all! There is a book for darn near everyone in your family! Check it out! I assure you Santa will be bringing my family their own book!!!!!!!

I know this is digressing from the hostess gift, but I swear if your hostess has a teen this might be good! Santa will be bringing this to me as well!!!!!!

This girl is getting excited about the book collection Santa will be bringing!!!!!

So I digressed a bit, but I got so excited!!!!!! Let me know if you have read any or all!!!!! I am giddy about it!!!!

As I close calmly, I really hope that you all have found something to help alleviate some of the stress that the holidays can bring. I hope I have inspired you to think out of the box of your typical bottle of wine for your hostess to a gift that they will love!!!! Not that they won’t love the wine, just something different!

Later this week look for gift guides for him, her, and them!!!!!

Until Next Time!
