My "Go-to" Christmas Gift This Year...

I tend find a "go-to" gift each year that I like to give as Christmas gifts.

Last year, my "go-to" gifts were Scentsy candle warmers.

I absolutely love these things! I have several in my house and they are frequently on.

If you don't have one of these, I'd highly recommend trying one.

Find a consultant in your area at www.scentsy.net

{My favorite scents: Hemingway, Cinnamon Bear, Welcome Home, & Olive Wood & Cypress.}

Anyway, my "go-to" gift this year comes from a local shop that has now been seen all over the country!

The Vintage Pearl.

They have many items that are already put together, or you can create your own custom necklace or bracelet.

And layer it up as much as you want.

They are all made in the shop and hand stamped.

Here are just a few of the necklaces that I have so far.

I've got some custom orders coming in within the next week and am excited to hand them out for Christmas!

A little teacher gift....

Go check out their website and their blog!

Great personalized gifts!

{Note: Christmas orders at The Vintage Pearl do have to be in by Dec 3!)

Zoo Membership for Gift

Need another gift idea. Give the gift of a membership to your local zoo. This is great for families and especially new parents that haven't figured out yet how many times they will be going to the zoo.

Just make a cute tag.

And tie it to a cute little guy like this one.

Something for the whole family to enjoy.

Snow Day Bucket

Trying to find the perfect gift for those friends who have EVERYTHING. I made this snow day bucket for a couple of our friends this year.

I found this snowman kit at Gordmans. Added some Starbucks mugs, some hot chocolate, the perfect movie "It's a Wonderful Life," and some movie candy. I did hide some butterscotch rum in the bottom for the parents to spike their hot chocolate. Depends on your recipients of course. The bucket I chose looked so cute with the theme, but it was a tad small. I would have liked to add some gourmet popcorn, but it just wouldn't fit. This was a huge hit anyway.

Now Bring on the Snow!!!
