Favorite Things…

It’s mid January and, for some of us, about that time of year for feeling the winter blues.  But I’ve got just the fix for those dreary days…some favorite finds that will be sure to bring on the happiness!  Great goodies for pampering yourself, entertaining friends, or offering to those that might need some cheer!  AND Valentine’s Day is less than a month away now so it’s time to start thinking of heartfelt trinkets to dish out to all those sweethearts on your list!  Have a peek at some favorites I picked up for all of the above…simple gifts for my family, my home, and my friends with the goal of creating opportunities to celebrate not just the holiday but winter itself!  I will, of course, share where I found all at the end of the post…so get ready to grab some

wonderful winter pick-me-ups!

when the cold winds are blowing there’s nothing like a fuzzy throw to snuggle up in!  i love this creamy cable knit for over a chair or at the end of a bed…but especially wrapped around my shoulders!  at TJ Maxx, this lovely blanket is just as soft & pretty as it is affordable!

need a hostess gift?  check out these 9″ mini cheese boards…

since they come as a pair you can split them up for double duty!  top one with some cheese and what a cute gift!

doing some holiday entertaining?  i have a thing for paper straws…they’re inexpensive, adorable, and look so festive for any occasion!  check out these cuties that are perfect for Valentine’s Day…

such a fun color combo…you could really use them any time of year!  an anniversary party maybe?

speaking of entertaining…i LOVE these wineglass markers!!  a great hostess gift or a fun addition to your own party!  guests can have a blast letting their inner artist show on their own glasses!  you could also write your guests’ names on glasses or plates and create place settings at a dinner party!  no matter how they’re used, you gotta admit these are pretty fun! (they clean up easily with sudsy water too!)

and any writer will appreciate the importance of having a notebook to jot ideas in.  it never fails that you have the best revelations while standing in the checkout isle or right smack dab in the middle of the night!  this adorable notebook is great for those thoughts that need saving…no matter where OR what time it is!  perfect for those artistic doodlers too, this cute book would be a lovely gift or bedside table addition!
