One week away from Christmas and you may or may not be done with your shopping... We've "HIGHLIGHTED" vendors and small shops on our with a "GIFT GUIDE" section on Instagram, but I thought we gather a little list of our TOP GIFT GUIDE BLOG POSTS from over the years! Featuring Insta-downloads, handmade items and store bought gift tips as well. Remember that it's THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS, and if you take a second and do a quick list and planning, you don't have to spend an arm and a leg! We will be back before the week is up to show you our winter table set-up we did for a winter's edition of Friendsgiving, MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

P.S. we're getting our Manifestation Party part Deux ready, are you? Visit last year's to see what we mean [CLICK HERE]
GIFT OF THE DIY/ HANDMADE:
We have several handmade items and there is still time to make them. For the ones who enjoy a crafted cocktail, see how you can customized your own with just a few ingredients [CLICK HERE]. For the one who loves baked goods and food items, but you need something easy, check out Kelly's homemade granola [CLICK HERE]. Another item was our v-day lavender lotion bar recipe, which can be a great gift anyone who is dealing with harsh gold temperatures and needs a little TLC [CLICK HERE].
GIFTS THAT KEEP ON GIVING:
These gifts featured items OR tasks, that are a benefiting investment. For example; I recommend fixing broken watches, jewelry, heck even glasses! Another idea was one month wellness membership to either a gym, yoga studio or anything that you may have over heard them speak of to kick start their 2019 goals. We also featured " FEEL GOOD PRODUCTS" that when you buy one of their pieces of apparel, a percentage of the earning goes to a charitable organization. For volume one and two [CLICK HERE] !
GIFTS FOR THOSE WHO GOT ENGAGED:
Well it is a popular time to "POP THE QUESTION" and I can say any lady who is sporting a new rock, might just love the items featured in this passed summer's engagement basket. Even better if you happen to be a part of the moment, having this ready could be epic (it was epic for me!) [CLICK HERE].
GIFTS FOR GRIEVING:
An all amazon list for those who have lost someone very dear and near to their hearts. From jewelry, to photo boxes and quoted wind chimes. This blog post is for you [CLICK HERE] !
GIFT FOR WHEN YOU HAVE ZERO TIME:
Basically the options of gift cards and tickets to local experiences. A reminder that you are being generous in giving them a gift. Some people may find these types of gift impersonal, STOP WITH THAT MENTALITY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIFT PEOPLE ANYWAY! If you think it's missing something, buy a card or bottle of wine or a box of festive chocolate. Which all can be bought at a local drugstore ( I legit almost wrote Eckerds!!!! Anyone remember that?) If you need a repeat or more in-depth of what I mean [CLICK HERE] for more examples of the last minute buy!
