I love the holiday season and part of what makes it so enjoyable for me is shopping for the perfect gift for friends and family.

Buying gifts for the men in my life can be tough and finding the prefect present for my female friends and family can be an even bigger challenge.

Happy Shopping!

Creative Ways to Store Holiday Gift Wrap

ConfettiStyle Gift Wrap

Just popping in today with a few ideas that may inspire you as you begin your holiday shopping and gift wrapping.

If you’re anything like me, you have lots of wrapping paper and gift wrapping supplies that you use during the holiday season.  I’m constantly pulling rolls of paper out of the closet, getting ribbon from the shelf and looking for gift tags.  I’m on the hunt for a simple and stylish way to store my wrapping supplies and was inspired by these ideas.  I hope you’ll be inspired too!

Inspiration {and an entertaining tip}

It’s the season for entertaining and one of the best ways to keep each and every one of your parties special is by serving common foods in a unique way.

How about serving some hot cider and donut holes for breakfast on Thanksgiving day?  Sounds yummy to me.

Entertaining tip:  Dress up plain glassware with decorative wraps using scrapbook paper, ribbon or fabric bands.

Here’s a great slow cooker hot spiced cider recipe!

Entertaining 101: Food on Display

So, how many of you will be hosting holiday parties in the coming weeks?  I don’t have any parties planned but I do have several holiday events we’ll be attending already on the calendar.

If you love to entertain during the holidays, one of the areas you should really focus on is the presentation of the food you serve.
