I already got my Christmas present early, a Kitchenaid stand mixer, which I started using last week and hopefully keep using to make baked good as gifts.
The majority of gifts I’m giving this year are handmade, if not by myself than things I purchased off of Etsy. Probably my favorite item would be the beard cap I crocheted for my husband. So cute and nerdly, I know he’ll love it.
Thank you for the giveaway!!
I am giving my mom an iPad, hoping it will be easy for her to navigate so she can email me back! I would like a pair of Sorel snow boots and to win one of your giveaways.

What I would truly like to receive is my annual Christmas box from my Mom sent alllll the way from NY filled with a variety of her homemade Christmas cookies. This is the first year of my entire life that I will not be spending Christmas in NY with my family so the package from her will mean that much more.
give: i’m going to make a bridge out of vanilla wafers in baltimore so my friends and i can walk across the inner harbor in style.
get: oh, you mean besides that lollia candle? i’d have ta go with beauty gifts. i like the bath and beauty gifts and treatments that people hesitate to give because they think it’s not thoughtful enough. those are my faves – but i’ll probably get the swiss army knife on my wish list instead; that’s okay.
Great comments here…I want to give flowers every time I go to anyone’s home or event. Really huge arrangements. I think that is the best gift. I’d love to receive a really great quality but easy to use camera that also had video capability. I feel like I’m supposed to say a soy candle or a good night’s sleep though. 😉

I would like to receive: world peace. I think I’m getting an air purifier and some umbrellas, though.

I’m giving some scarves I made, museum tickets, and candles. I got some gifts early today (for my late Dec. birthday), and I was happy to find an owl locket among them.
Something that I’d love to receive this Christmas is Candles or Candle Holders, really anything related to candles.
