Ok, friends....we're gonna start this list off with our coffee maker because I get questions all the time about how I make my coffees! This is it. The machine makes great, coffeehouse-like coffees and it comes with a simple little manual frother that works well and cleans up easily. I'm also linking the coffee that I love because it's so tasty and sooo affordable!
1. Ninja Coffee Bar - We've had this for a few years now and still really like it. The coffees you can make with it are top notch but the machine doesn't cost an arm and a leg! It comes with a manual frother that's super easy to use and to clean and also comes with a recipe book for all sorts of fancy coffee drinks!
2. New England Coffee Chocolate Cappuccino - This is my favorite coffee! I have this every day. I add a bit of frothed almond milk and a bit of raw sugar. SO good. And the coffee is super affordable! In fact, they ran out of it everywhere for a month or two and I kinda panicked! Haha. So when it came back in stock, I ordered a ton of it! It also makes a great gift to tuck in with other items....like a pretty coffee mug. If you keep an eye on the price, it drops as low as $3.78 from time to time.
Side note: Bart found some Natural Bliss Dark Chocolate Peppermint creamer yesterday, that is SO good! Add it to either one of these coffees for a delicious peppermint mocha at home!
3. Amaryllis Bulb Kit - This is a favorite gift to give at our house! Everything you need to grow a gorgeous amaryllis is included in the kit! Just follow the directions to plant it in the pot provided, using the growing materials inside and watch the magic happen! It almost feels like giving someone the gift of fireworks because when those big beautiful blooms bust open, it's such a feast for the eyes! It's fun to watch the bulb grow and produce those huge stunning blooms! It takes approximately 6-8 weeks for the bulb to bloom. Perfect timing for adding some color and cheer indoors, in the dead of winter, a couple months down the road!
4. Quilted Velvet Metallic Stitch Square Throw Pillow - I love this pillow because it's great for the holidays but can also transition into January and February. I don't have this one yet, but I've petted it in the store - haha! - and have it in my shopping cart to grab as soon as it goes on sale. This would make a really pretty gift.
5. Cardinal Throw Pillow - This one is available online only so I haven't seen it in person, but I'm totally buying this one for our family room! Those colors!! And look at the close-up detail...so, so pretty! Again, this would make such a gorgeous gift! I can't wait to get mine!
6. Joy Wreath Mug - My sweet friend gave me this mug recently and I LOVE it! GAH. It's so cute and so well made and it's SUPER affordable AND it's on sale right now, making it even MORE affordable! This would make a darling gift by itself, or you could give a set of two or four, if you wanted! (Four of them, as I type this, would only cost $15!)
7. Plaid Pillow - We have one of these and I'm about to buy two or three more! Seriously, right now, it's $12.50....I don't know what it is with pillows lately (Well, I can tell you what it is....we haven't gotten any new throw pillows for YEARS and it's TIME, people. Haha! Our old ones are....old.) I'm enjoying freshening up the pillow situation around here and this one is nice and squishy. Very happy with it!
8. Santa Pillow - This is another one that we have and it's SO stinkin' cute!! I really love it and it goes so well with all of our McCoy pottery as well as our Christmas decor!
Side note: Do you SEE in the above graphic, how well the two pillows I don't (yet) have, go with the two that I DO have??? They all look like they were made for each other!!! Hahaha!
9. Luminara Birch Bark Flameless Candles, set of 2 w/remote, timer and batteries - So this is a bigger ticket item, but this is one that I know makes a lovely gift because a dear friend gave these to us!! They're beauuuuuutiful and we have ours set on a timer so they automatically come on every evening and shut off at bedtime. They flicker and look so realistic, that we've had several people sit down next to them and start studying them, trying to figure out if they're real or not. I love, love these. You can also get this same style candles that aren't the birch bark look, if you prefer them plain. Either way you go, I highly recommend these candles.
10. Luninara Flameless Candles, set of 3 with remote - We have several different sizes of the plain version of these candles as well and love them all. The wicks move and flicker, so they look and sound very realistic. We've got them positioned all around the family room and it looks so cozy in the evenings, when their timers all turn them on!
11. Home Sweet Home Door Mat - If you follow me on instagram, then you've probably seen this door mat on our front porch. We've had it for a few years now and still love it! It's just so welcoming and I love the typography!
12. Welcome Door Mat - Also, if you follow me on instagram, then you may have seen this door mat in the pictures I took of the Kindreds Night decor that I did for our church recently! I got this rug to go with the front door scene I created with our antique door, and I have to say I kinda want to get this door mat for our front porch, too! It's really pretty in person. This would make a nice gift for someone and both of these door mats are really affordable! Just $13!
13. Soapbox Liquid Hand Soap - And while we're on the subject of Kindreds Night, we also got these hand soaps for the restrooms. Not only did the brown plastic bottles coordinate with all the glass amber bottles we had on the table centerpieces, but they also smell really good! (It does come in a few different scents.) It made me smile every time I saw someone walking out of the restroom smelling her hands, or rubbing some of...
....this lotion into them.
14. Up&Up Extra Radiance Cocoa Butter Body Lotion - Again, we chose this lotion because it's packaging color coordinated with our theme and also because it smelled good. This lotion and the hand cream above, would both make nice little stocking stuffers (although this lotion is a pretty big bottle for less than $3!).
15. Morning Handsome Mug and Morning Beautiful Mug - One more idea for you....we don't have these mugs but I think they'd be darling to give as gifts. You could obviously give a single mug or you could also give a pair of the mugs to a couple on your list. So sweet! And only $6 each! These would also make a fun hostess gift!
Ok, friends....that's it for home suggestions! I'll be back with a kiddos gift guide to round out the Holiday Gift Guide Series! I hope you find these helpful!
