I couldn’t wait until January, I was supposed to launch the new blog in the New Year. It makes sense…2020, fresh starts, goals and resolutions but I’m too excited so I’m jumping ahead. It might be because I’m anxious for Christmas this year. I did, for the first time ever, get our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving while our guests were still visiting and eating leftover turkey. I especially couldn’t wait to wrap pretty packages for host/hostess gifts that give me such joy to give. Mshumaa Candles are a must and I always make sure I have the newest scent on hand before gifting season. They come in all styles and the custom vessel and scent option allows me to choose gifts based on how I’m feeling that season. Bright and shiny or natural and modern. Bonus…they ship directly to the recipient so I can time my gift to arrive to cocktails even before I do. For puppy parents, I like to bring small treats and a little gift for the dogs from Bark n’ Bag. And I never go wrong with a bag of Small World Coffee which is pretty famous in and around Princeton, New Jersey. I’m packing some in my luggage this holiday to bring to family too far away to get their daily fix. Another thing I keep handy are classic paper whites tied in burlap and satin ribbon for the last minute parties. I’m a little late growing mine this year but I keep a store of bulbs that I can wrap up in a hurry. Happy Gifting!
