Now that Thanksgiving day escapades are over- beside the lingering leftovers- it’s time to focus all energy on other things. I have a hard time asking for gifts, especially when my birthday falls a couple of weeks short of the holiday. I also find that it’s too easy to buy whatever you want any time during the year, I mean what happened to “put it on the Xmas list”? I just use the excuse that I can get it myself so I don’t feel bad about asking for things… maybe I’m being silly? But, I love to give and maybe it’s not the smartest thing for my wallet. I enjoy shopping for people and gifting all sorts of things, especially if it’s something I know will make them feel good or make them chuckle. I’m not the most frugal saver so I’ll spend money on nonsense things just for the fun of it.

Some of my most favorite aesthetically pleasing items are here for you. And not just things for a single part of the year, everything here (mostly) are useful 365 days. Maybe you can find a few things to gift from my mood board that will suit a need for someone you never thought of! Sometimes the best gifts are chic eye-candy like the mugs and bamboo dinnerware set. Maybe a friend just moved into a new home and needs that funky lady art or throw blanket. Clogs and totes are always in… always. You tell me what works for you!
