‘Tis the season for gifting! As my first holiday guide, I put together things that I enjoy the most when I’m hosting or cooking and that I’d love to give!

 

 

1. Jo Malone candle—can never go wrong with a candle! My favourite Peony & Black Suede Blush!

2. Wine glasses—I know that everyone has a different style, but I had to add these! They are so beautiful and classy! If you’re shopping for a friend who enjoys wine, these are perfect!

3. Vintage style Cutting Board—love the idea of serving on a cutting board and when it’s not in use, it looks amazing on the kitchen counter!

4. Crochet Raffia Placemats—I don’t know what it is about these but they are the prettiest and would look great with any table setting! I like these ones in particular with scalloped edge!

5. Linen stripped napkins—nice little addition….

6.  Nachtmann Quartz vase—this beautiful vase would be a great gift with flowers for any host to elevate setting.

7. Aerin Bamboo cheese knives—love how bamboo brings all those natural touches to a table! These one are on my shopping list!

8. Ceramic Carafe—I love the color, the style, the handle….When I saw this I immediately thought….unique item to alfresco dining!

9. Floral serving platter—we have this one and it’s just so nice!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I put this gift guide together, I kept in mind friends that I know that would love these! I also like the idea of adding a personal touch —making a gift basket with home baked goodies, a bottle of wine, a cookbook, different kinds of cheeses….I think that when we add those personal touches it makes the gift even more thoughtful!

Happy Shopping friends!
