Give Cheer Early
I recently came across the idea of giving cheer early and I love it. Why not give a Christmas gift early to help a friend get holiday ready? Or buy something for your own home to get your family and visitors in the Christmas spirit? Because the time leading up to Christmas is the best part! Give one of these items and wish someone a joyful holiday season. Couldn’t the entire world use a little extra holiday cheer this year? (Plus, I’m sure you’ve heard the word on the street is that everything is going to be super delayed around the holidays early so might as well get ahead of the game!)
Holiday Towels – holiday towels are my favorite thing to bring as a hostess gift – just ask my girlfriends. Ha. But they are such an easy touch to add a little holiday cheer to your home – and you go through the so fast you could always use more! I found some of my very favorites at Crate and Barrel and Anthropologie – or Home Goods and TJ Maxx!
Very Merry Cocktails book – 50 plus festive drinks for the holiday season. Say no more. How fun would this cocktail be WITH these festive old-fashioned glasses? I’d love sipping out of these all season long. OMG I’m getting so excited.
Cocktail Napkins – have I told you that I collect cocktail napkins? I love nothing more than fresh cocktail napkins on theme for all gatherings. Especially letterpress monogrammed cocktail napkins. They make a wonderful hostess gift as well!
Family Advent Calendar by Hearth & Hand – Have the family countdown down together on something pretty that doubles as a decoration (the cardboard and chocolate calendars will hide in the pantry)
Happy Holiday Door Matt – the perfect neutral holiday doormat – that comes in two sizes!
Merry Throw Pillow – a beautiful embroidered pillow that would make anyones home or bed a little merrier
Holiday Plaid PJs – the first time I’ve ever seen Hearth & Hand pajamas – and of course they are cute. Give a family a set of matching pajamas and they can be festive and matching all season long.
18 Metal Cookie Cutter Set and Fa La La Spatula – I mean how cute is this combination? Larger set of Crate and Barrel cookie cutters here.
Ho ho ho!
