How in the world is it already Christmastime? I hope you had a relaxing, meaningful Thanksgiving. My turkey dinner was delicious, but I hardly had room for it since I devoured so much Crème Brûlée French Toast (see my video at the end of the post). If you are gearing up for holiday shopping, you may be interested in a few gift picks here. Christmas Quotes & Favorite Black Friday Gift Ideas are some of my favorite ideas to give or receive.

And do enjoy some inspiring (and humorous) quotes pertaining to the season.

1. This Book.

It’s so inspiring and gorgeous! Whether it’s for you or a country decor lover in your life, there will be happy recipients.

2. Lenox Holiday Bone China Bowl

This bowl is so perfect for so many things! Add water and float a rose or candle in it. Add red and green M&Ms or nuts. So many possibilities, and I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t love it! I’ll be buying it for family members on my list who love to entertain.

My mom has been serving with these Lenox pieces for years (she mixes in her Lenox Eternal pieces), and what fun to bring out the holly and touch of gold during the holidays.

If You Decide to Give the Gift of Better TV Reception, Spring for Installation…

(Just a heads up…some naughty words spoken in this very physical comedic scene with some amazing actors. If you watch this off-color hilarious clip, let me know your favorite part in the comments…mine is what Reese Witherspoon tragically/accidentally does!)

3. Candleholders.

So versatile and timeless, you’ll be brightening spirits and homes if you choose to give this romantic gift.

Here’s something rustic I don’t see very often, a galvanized candlestick.

And how about a gift for YOU if you’ve been nice? (Well, at least the price is nice!)

4. This mug.

I received this YETI mug recently as a gift, and I adore it. It makes the perfect one-size-fits-all gift for everyone on your list. I’m ordering multiples!

Happy hunting, friends.

Here’s that French Toast (recipe is in the comments thread of my FB post after you click play) I mentioned, and I used my homemade sourdough bread for it.

Peace to you right where you are.
