Lately our kitchen has been filled with the scents of holiday cooking.   We’re making cookies, preparing party treats, and this year, we’ve even whipped up a few homemade gifts for our neighbors.  With all this great stuff simmering, we don’t want some over the top home product taking away from the delicious aromas.

Which is exactly why we love all of the products from Cucina!

cucinaInfused with scents like coriander, lime zest, and zucchini, these lotions and hand washes are subtle yet scrumptious.  And all of the products are made with first press olive oil and are amazingly moisturizing.  The pasta bag gift sets contain a duo of lotion and handwash and make a fantastic hostess gift at $25 each.

We’ ve got more great gifts for the top chef in your life, so be sure to pop in and see what else we’re cooking up!

Just over two weeks from Christmas and you’ve still got presents to buy and wrap, treats to bake and eat, and a million other happy holiday-ish tasks to check off  your list.  We can’t bake your goodies for you, and we’re certainly not going to help untangle those Christmas lights, but we can work with you to find the perfect gifts!

Still looking for something for that stress case of a sister? We love these lavender drawer inserts from Elizabeth W.  Slip them into a drawer or cupboard and they will have her sheets and  jammies smelling wonderful.

If she’s the kind of gal too busy to soak, these bath pouches might be the perfect gift.  Each pouch contains salts soaked in essential oils and they can be used in the shower or bath!  The pouches make the perfect stocking stuffer or sweet little something.

We could all use a good night’s rest and these pillow inserts might just be the perfect little indulgence to help a gal send those sheep packing.  They are the perfect size to slip into a pillow case and can also be used in a suitcase to keep her relaxed on the road.

Holidays a hassle?  Not when you’re shopping with us!

Just in time for Christmas, we have a new line from the makers of Lollia and TokyoMilk!  Love & Toast handcremes, lip balms, and perfumes come in yummy scents and downright delicious prices.

The products are made from natural and mostly organic ingredients. The honey & coconut shea butter hand cream reminds us of a summer day at the beach, and we love the gin & lime lip balm to keep your lips lovable during the cold winter weather!

Most of the pieces are less than $10,  and at these prices, we’re planning to scoop up multiples to give to all of our gal pals.  While we’re at it, we might even grab a few for ourselves.

Frugal and fabulous? It might just keep us off the naughty list!

Now that the holiday season is officially underway, we thought you might like some suggestions for your favorite hostess with the mostess.

If your partying pal always has the yummiest homemade cookies on hand, she’ll love this cute cookie dishtowel and cookie cutter set from Swank favorite, Tag.  She can make the recipe and then use the towel to wipe away the mess!

Speaking of a mess, skip the fruitcake gift, and give your party planner this cute fruitcake dishtowel instead.  She’ll love its cute design and might even be inspired to make the seasons only edible fruitcake.

If she is the type to burn it at both ends and is known to throw the kind of bash that lasts well into the we hours, a candle from Voluspa might be the perfect way to thank her for the invitation.  The candles come in two sizes, and price points, and the delicious Snowflake scent will add a little something to her hot event.
