Holiday Hurray

Day 22!

I am having SO much fun with this I almost don’t want Christmas to arrive!

 

Check out this ring.. with a very cool message.

The ring reads:

TIME DOESN’T CHANGE THINGS
YOU CHANGE THINGS IN TIME

Strikes me as a perfect best friend gift!

Find it HERE.

Have you centered your shopping for the holidays at the mall?

Tsk Tsk

Stop by and see the crew at Picture Perfect on Bernard! Their prices are better PLUS they can still get custom framing done by Saturday!

While I LOVE the Friendship bags. This Angel print by Alex Cherry is pretty darn cool.

It comes in a bunch of different sizes.. I am a fan of the big one on stretched canvas in their window!

Really. That’s JUST COOL! Holiday Hurray!

Holiday Hurray

Day 21

 

Gifts are the hardest to buy in the last couple of days before Christmas … for the people you want to make the best impression on!

The trend that seems to be the most appreciative these days is “experience” gifts. A trip on a hot air balloon, gift certificates for dinner and a movie or maybe a pottery class or better yet a trip to a far away place! That far away place might live in someones imagination or on a stage in town.

Cue Kelowna Actors Studio!

They have had an amazing run this season, really every season is good but somehow they seem to have risen the bar again!

Why not get someone a gift card for Kelowna Actors Studio? They can use it for classes, shows or even at the bar at the show!

This is one of those gifts that might just become a tradition for you to give year after year, which means next year at crunch time you won’t be in a twist about what to do!

 

Kelowna Actors Studio

 

This is just FUN!!

Yup.. those would be “The Grinch that Stole Christmas” Chucks.

You might not have them this Christmas but they are on sale and you will be SO excited to put them on next year!!

Holiday Hurray

Days

17, 18 & 19!

Need a perfect hostess gift?

This is it.

If you bring this bottle of wine guarenteed who ever gets it won’t be scrtaching there heads wondering which guest brought which bottle of wine!  Yours will stand out!

Winemakers notes:

Ripe black cherry and raspberry aromas. Round upon entry in the mouth, excellent balance. Supple, fine-grained tannins resolve nicely. Long, aromatic finish. If you ordered a bottle of Bordeaux in a nice Parisian bistro, it would taste like this.

Check it out here.. Swanson Vineyards

Ohhhh…. I wanna be CRAFTY!!

If you watched last weeks 52NEW involving Salt Dough Christmas Ornaments you know I am anything but!!

If I was.. I would want THIS  ——>

I did knit my Dad a scarf one year for Christmas.. it ended up looking like a 7 foot long pant leg, but Dad still wears it to walk the dog and says it’s very warm. (Dad’s can be so nice!)

For the crafty cutie in your house  go HERE!

Need a gift for a girlfriend going through a breakup?

Normally I’m not a big fan of negative imagery or anything that looks back rather than forward, but sometimes hard times can grow into a bit of a giggle and be cathartic all at the same time.

Probable not a great gift if they’re kids in the house.

Find it HERE

Kids can have fun at Christmas Dinner!

If you do have kids in the house, this is a great plan to keep them busy during Christmas dinner! If you are feeling really creative have the kids design place mats for the “grown ups” table before dinner to keep them entertained and away from the presents!

Find them HERE!

Now.. why was was Holiday Hurray off a day?

Because I was at a Chocolate and Wine party!

It was wonderful!!

But the hit of the party was: Tiger Butter!

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Goodness!!

Wanna try it?

Totally worth it!!

1 lb. white chocolate
1 lb. milk chocolate
1 c. creamy peanut butter
Melt white and milk chocolate separately. Add peanut butter to white chocolate. Pour together – do not stir. Pour into wax paper lined pan. Swirl chocolates together to get a striped effect. Let cool at room temperature. Turn out onto cutting board and cut into small squares.
