GIFT GUIDES 2021...HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

These are away some of my favorite Gift Guides to do because home for the holidays and cozy at home; that’s what so many of us want to be! I think the pandemic really made us look at being more comfortable in our own homes and spending more time there. Today I’ve included 3 great guides not only for usefulness but for comfort, yumminess in the kitchen and being at home sharing a family game night! I think you’re going to love these and the price points. 


OVERALL COZY

Something for everyone right here to get your cozy at home on. I really love giving and getting candles and we watch way more movies during the holiday Season.


'

Nest Holiday Candle ~ Candles just make every home cozy and so included two different ones on this guide. The first one is the ever-popular Nest candle, worth every penny and this is their holiday blend it smells delightful plus it’s so pretty.

 

Skillet Set ~ While I have a guide here below strictly for food type items, I had to put these two skillets here because not only are they an affordable set that they are really really good ones. Skillets are not created equal as you may know this is a fabulous set and brand.

 

Sheet Set ~ I Especially love crisp white sheets and I haven’t had any new ones in the Damascus stripe for awhile. Love a great crisp cotton sheet!


Fuzzy Socks ~ I can't believe these butter socks from Macy’s are on sale for six bucks! What a great stocking stuffer and I love the colors and the prints. Got to have some cozy fuzzy socks .


Slippers ~ I’m sure lots of different fuzzy slippers before but you really cannot go wrong. These are on Amazon is so incredibly affordable was such a great colors! Fuzzy and so so cozy!

 

Movie: Home for the Holidays ~ I don’t know if you’ve ever seen this movie, Home for the Holidays but I had to include it with the title of this gift guide. It is such a good movie, and you can get this DVD for like five bucks!

 

American Cozy Book ~ Ok, if you’d like all things cozy, you absolutely have to get this book! It is so cool, just trust me on this one such a great gift!

 

Peet's Coffee ~ I have a few different coffee roasters that are my favorite and Peet's is one of them especially at the holidays! They also offer a fabulous monthly coffee subscription.

 

Cuddl Duds Blanket ~ Plaid AND Sherpa! I’m in. Another great blanket that family may fight over and quite festive!  

 

Yankee Candle ~ My very first favorite candle company was Yankee! Truly is the best! I recently got my mom and I some Christmas candles and what I really like about Yankee is the Personalized ones you can create. My dear friend Kellyann from This Blonde's Shopping Bag got me my first one which was dedicated to my sweet Daisy and in my favorite candle scent Home Sweet Home. Great gift ideas!

 

 

KITCHEN, FOOD & BEVI

Our family tends to gather in the kitchen around the kitchen island. I have included some kitchen things we use on the regular as well as some yummy things to eat and drink. 


Serving Board ~ You literally cannot go wrong with any kind of personalize board. I love this one is marble as well As wood with the three sweet little bowls on the left

 

Hot Chocolate Bombs ~ Gosh, hot cocoa bombs are all the rage at this one’s so luxurious and decadent. 


Dash Mini Donut Maker ~ I shared this one before, but I had to share it again it’s the newest Dash product on the market which are all great and how fun to make sweet little donuts!


Olive Oil and Vinegar Set ~Olive Oils and Balsamic, say no more. YUM and such high-quality ones.


2 pc Baking Dish Set ~ How sweet are these baking dishes! They are from the Pioneer Woman and the colors and quality are so great!

 

  DIY Root Beer Kit ~ What? Making your own root beer! I have heard people do this and they say it is delicious!

 

Kabob Grilling Baskets ~ I have fun memories of the chicken steak and vegetables kabobs that my mom and dad used to make on the grill. These little baskets make things so much easier!

 

Infuse and Pour Alcohol Kit ~ These aged and infused cocktail kit bottles are so cool! My friend Jill from Doused in Pink got me one for my birthday and it was delicious! You just add whatever liquor you want to what’s in the bottle and let it sit for about a week for all the flavors to infuse they are fabulous! Several different ones to choose from for the four pack that makes such a great gift.


Movie Night Popcorn Pack ~ You cannot go wrong with a sweet little popcorn kit for movie night!

 

Stonewall Kitchen Batter and Bowl Kit ~ One of my family ideas for a gift! This would be especially awesome for the chef in your family to whip up Holiday pancakes or for grandma who might want to whip them up with the grandkids! Stonewall Kitchen products are amazing anyway! 


Air Fryer ~ BEST kitchen purchase we have ever made. LOVE IT!! This one got great reviews!



FAMILY GAME NIGHT

Game nights are the best, many of these games we have in love with our family and others I want to get because they sound and looks so fun with great reviews.

FRIDAY FAVORITES...NOVEMBER NICE

I must say, November has been way “NICER” than October but it’s going to dang fast! Slow down please! I cannot believe Thanksgiving is Thursday but I’m so ready for that turkey dinner with my sweet, small crew!


1. So "DEER'
Well, I’m happy to say all my decorating is complete! One of our sons came home Saturday to help with the outside stuff and put together the glorious lit deer family that my mom got me as part of my Christmas present. I just love them to pieces. And I love that our boy will still get up on the roof and hang those high wreaths. Balls too! What a great helper!

BUY SIMILAR DEER SETS HERE and HERE

And then the next day we had a 50 mile an hour winds and knocked one down so it actually took two sons to get it back up there later in the week, LOL!

2. "Reindeer Mule"
YETI BARTENDER
It was an absolute no-brainer that I would create my favorite holiday cocktail of all time for the Yeti Bartender Series! I first had this delicious Reindeer Mule at a local brewery several years ago but last year they took it off the menu and I believe I even told them how incredibly sad I was about that. LOL. But I had taken a picture of the ingredients one year so I was able to concoct it at home along with my own homemade cinnamon cranberry simple syrup!
Check out my latest YouTube video.

AND on Sunday here on the Blog, I will have the entire recipe and a post dedicated to said yummy Reindeer Mule!

3. Home for the Holidays
TARGET GIFT GUIDE
Here is another great gift guide, this time dedicated to Target Holiday Hone! You guys, they have so many good pieces right now and my favorite is the musical Snow Globe

While 2020 has been tough for many reasons, there have also been many bright spots so I got a couple of these $10 Snow Globes as gifts as a reminder of the good! The red truck with a Christmas tree in the back and sweet snow swirling while playing Jingle Bells is just delightful! I also have the three wick candles and they are amazing and only 10 bucks.


4. Target PJ's
Speaking of Target Goodness.... OK, I keep saying this but every pair of coziness I get becomes my favorite and these thermal plaid joggers and long sleeve shirt SET from Target have my heart big time! Get you some, they come in several patterns and would also make a great gift, it would even be good to layer them under your clothes for outside play. And you MUST Have some fuzzy Leopard Slippers

 TURKEY CHEESEBALL
A friend of mine asked me for the recipe for this turkey cheese ball and well I’ve shared a photo of it with y’all before, I decided I should share the recipe in case you wanna make it next Thursday!

Turkey Cheese Ball

Ingredients

1 14oz tub sharp cheddar cheese spread (we like Merkt’s)

1 block cream cheese, softened 

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 

 Chopped pecans & optional fresh parsley to roll the ball in. 

 
Stick pretzels, candy corn, candy eyes (I got mine at Michael’s and I’ve also seen them on Amazon) and a little frosting to hold the eyes and candy corn on with.
 
Directions:
Mix the sharp cheddar cheese and cream cheese with a hand mixer until very creamy, add in garlic salt and Worcestershire and mix well again. Wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours. Remove and roll the cheese ball in the pecans & fresh parsley if desired. Stick the pretzel sticks in the back for the feathers and with an additional pretzel stick add a little frosting to the top for the eyes and the front for the candy corn nose. Chill on a cheeseboard until ready to serve. The cheese ball itself can even be frozen ahead of time and just let it thaw a little bit before creating the turkey appendages.


MEMES
Thanksgiving Memes of course!



Hope you eat healthy so you can indulge next week, deck, wrap whatever festive and Have a great weekend!
