Looking for a present for a girlfriend? Some ideas for you below under $50:
holiday candle
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!
This is my favorite holiday candle. It smells just like a Xmas tree. A must have if you get an artificial tree. Makes a great hostess gift, co-worker gift, in-law gift, anyone gift!
I get mine out every year the day after Thanksgiving when I start playing the Christmas carols.
gifts for her under $25
Looking for a gift for a friend or colleague? Need a gift under $25 for a gift exchange? Need some "in case of emergency" gifts? (when someone comes to the door to drop off your gift, and you did not get them one). Some ideas below.
marsala gift/other
How else can you incorporate marsala into your life? How about a gift? Something for your home? Know anyone getting married with a marsala wedding? She would probably appreciate a marsala gift!
pitchers
Pitchers make a great gift! They don't necessarily have to perfectly match someone's dishes. Choose a bright festive one for outdoor summer fiestas. Or a calm serene one as a vase for flowers. Look for an interesting shape or texture to stand out.
shopping in napa: napa valley vintage home
I walked into this store on Saturday in St. Helena, and I walked out with 4 large shopping bags full of goodies. If you're headed to a wedding in Napa, head to Napa Valley Vintage Home to buy the wedding gift. You will find something gorgeous in this store for a wedding gift, hostess gift, mom's or best friend's birthday. Spencer Peterman olive wood bowls, serving dishes, candles, necklaces, unique children's books, and cutting boards too pretty to put away in a cabinet. Located in charming downtown St. Helena, Napa Valley Vintage Home is a must!
