21 days and counting!!
December 1st to me marks the official beginning
of the holiday season, and I for one couldn't
be happier - I adore this time of the year!!
With so many holiday functions,
I thought I would start off our series of holiday posts
with a selection of favourite host/hostess gifts.
1. Ornaments
I love the idea of bringing ornaments as a
gift - either a box of beautiful balls,
a vintage ornament, or a fabulous single.
Just as we love our interiors "collected", so too
do we love our trees to be a culmination of the
ornaments we've collected over the years,
including those from friends and family,
and I feel as though this is a host/hostess gift
with a bit of meaning behind it.

5. Coffee Table Book
A couple of my fave picks - Slim Aarons' latest,
La Dolce Vita and Miles Redd's The Big Book of Chic.
You may have to do a wee bit of searching to find these
for under $50, but I think it can be done, and there are
a whole lot of other fabulous pretty books out
there for around the same!
3. Holiday Rosemary Tree
There's so much to love about this as a gift.
It's simple, it's green, it's functional, it's
amazingly fragrant, and last but not least, it really
makes for beautiful holiday decorating!

With all of the holiday glitz, I personally like to
keep mine as pared down as possible - a great container
will do - but they're also adorable with a few ornaments!

4. Olive Oil
A good bottle of olive oil is top of my list,
and I also feel like it's a pretty safe bet all round.
It's obviously well suited for the gourmand
host/hostess, but it's also a great gift for those
you don't know as well.

It fits perfectly in a wine bag, and there are so
many fabulous bags to choose from!

5. PomPom Throw
Always feel a bit funny throwing in something
from the 219 Boutique, but there's a reason
we're carrying them - we love them!
I've given these as gifts so many times as
they really make such a great gift!
They're a lightweight 100% cotton blanket and
come in a kazillion colours including this
fabulous green - perfect for the holidays I would say :).
Happy happy Monday lovelies!!
Big hugs, Christine
