Merry Christmas to all…

… and to all a Good Night!

One of the hardest things for me during the holidays is always wanting to get the perfect gift for everyone on my list and really resisting the temptation to buy everything I see for myself!

While searching the One Kings Lane gift guide, I found a few items to suggest that I’m loving!

I love the idea of a “wine set” a few sampler bottles along with some lovely glasses for enjoying… I am wanting to add some of these footed Riedels to my collection.

Or, for the red wine drinkers, their Pinot Noir sampler and hand blown glass decanter as a set…

What a sweet little stocking stuff, of a little mouse sleeping in a matchbox- warms my heart!

If you like to follow the tradition (which I promise to adopt next year) of making something homemade for your neighbors and other on your list, one of my favorite treats in the entire world but never ever get is candied citron, especially lemon peels.  Here is a fabulous recipe from Whole Foods. I even think their packaging is great with your own person touches like a custom printed sticker, or fabric wrapping. They even offer a downloadable gift tag.

I know when you think about giving a candle, you roll your eyes in boredom.  But, think about it, candles like these are ones that are so luxurious that you don’t buy them for yourself, and I personally will never get sick of receiving them.  Plus, I love the idea of having a “signature scent” throughout your entire house. I’m a fool for anything Fig scented. Here are some of my faves that I’ve sniffed out.
