Holiday Must-Haves

So, I gave you gifting ideas.  Now, we need to talk about must-haves for your partying.

First!  No party is complete without a FANTASTIC bottle of champagne.  But here's the deal - it's kinda cool to give out individual mini-bottles of champagne.  You WILL be the hit of any party.  Enter the Nicolas Feuillatte mini-bottles.  They even come with a strap for your wrist so you don't LOSE it! 

 
A perfect holiday treat is always kind of hard to nail down.  Everyone loves cookies, but the whole chocolate chip cookie thing (while classic and delicious) is a little overdone.  Enter..the French Macaroon.  I grabbed a box in South Beach recently and completely fell in love with them AGAIN.  Colorful and different - they're eye catching to a guest or a hostess (who will love you for bringing these!).

GOOD FRIENDS!  Please.  Don't be the person that invites people to their party for popularity or to show off.  Invite your FRIENDS (not necessarily the people pictured below).  You should actually enjoy the company of those your with and not worry about them judging you or your party.

Last, but absolutely not least, if you're the hostess, you need to send your guests home with little goodie bags.  Whether it's filled with a cute scented candle, some holiday cookies or some gourmet chocolates, you cannot let your guests leave empty handed.  Presentation is everything!  Wrap it in a cute or catchy way and no matter what the gift is, everyone will love it and the effort you put into it.

Obviously there are more must-haves, but that's all for tonight.

:)  Sleep tight kids.  Six days to Christmas and counting!


XOXO,
Bliss

I love BaubleBar.  Like..LOVE.  Seriously, truly, madly LOVE these ladies.  I've even been to The Bar, the newly opened BaubleBar store in New York City.  The baubles, the staff, the FUN..is amazing.  BaubleBar is doing a collaboration with Essie.  You get to pick a nail polish, and match it with three bracelets you love.  They all come together in one sweet little clutch.  Believe me, it's so fantastic - I bought two.  :)  BaubleBar sells SO many amazing things - you won't regret clicking this link to BaubleBar.

The last time I went to Boston, I fell into this amazing store, 1154 LILL Studio.  The concept of designing your own handbag is mind blowing.  You get to feel and see the fabric of the inside of your handbag (purse, clutch, makeup bag, etc.) and then pick the fabric on the outside.  It's so much fun and an amazingly personalized gift to give someone without being cheesy.  They've got several stores, but you can order online as well.  Just click here.

 
Best stocking stuffer EVER.  Mindy Kaling is hilarious and downright brilliant in this book.  I swear to you, it's like she stole almost every thought out of my head and published it.  Give one to every girlfriend -they will thank you.  Grab it at your local Barnes & Noble.

That's all for now.  :)  Enjoy.


XOXO,
Bliss

Holiday Gift Guiding

I'd love to do something like.."One Gift Suggestion a Day" for my blog, but I can't find the time to sew the button back onto my winter coat, let along blog every day.

SO!

Here's a few quick things that I think are super cute and affordable.

The Minimergency Kit!  I have this, I love this.  It's tiny, fits in your purse (not your clutch) and it contains some of the best basics for a night of partying or hanging out.  And the glittery nature glams it up - so you don't feel like someone's grandma giving a super functional gift.  You can snatch it up at Pinch Provisions.

 

The backup battery for the iPhone.  I don't know about you, but I'm a lunatic.  I carry a charger in my purse.  But THIS!  This is a box you charge on your computer and then drop it in your bag if your phone need a quick juicing up.  You can grab this at J. Crew.  Be careful, they're running out FAST.

Sexy beaded knit gloves.  Who doesn't love a great pair of gloves?  And as a gift, if you give a super cute pair....it's even BETTER.  There's also a matching scarf if you like giving sets.  You can grab these from Zara.  Because Zara is true love.

That's all for now.  :)  More to come as I sneak in some holiday blogging time.



XOXO,
Bliss
