Holly-days

I have been sucked in. I have always had the idea in my head that I need to wait for Christmas/Holiday music until AFTER Thanksgiving but, I have given in. Everyone else is doing it! The Peppermint Mocha's and Carmel Apple Spice at Starbucks also make me think of all the gifts I want to buy. The hard part is figuring out just WHAT!

I've bought my mom wayyyyy too many clothes and although I can spice up any gift with some Madewell purchases I also know that I want the majority of my presents to have a sentimental or thoughtful meaning. That being said, here are a few things I would recommend for anyone :)

some of my favorite books :)



any gift that gives back! Toms Shoes gives a shoe to a child in need with every purchase and West Elm has a whole section of "Gifts that give back" There are a variety of these mugs that give 50% of proceeds to the mug's selected charity (This one benefit's The Boy's and Girls Club).

Finally, This cool website allows you to create your own hardcover photo BOOK for someone special in your life. I've got a few ideas myself. There's a promotion right now for Buy One Get One FREE on this website.

You can always send me an email if you want in on my special new vintage button rings and knot rings too! (Pictures up soon in another post).

My mom always told me that Holly the Elf would come and help Santa bring the presents.... I think when I grow up I want to be holly the elf.There are more ideas to ponder and thoughts to think but here are a few cool ideas! Toot-i-loo
