I love finding the perfect gift for everyone on my list. Usually when it comes to gift-giving I focus on the person’s interests and try to create a theme around that. This year I partnered with Tuesday Morning to curate unique gifts for various people on my list. I am so excited to share all the amazing finds I found! An added bonus is that Tuesday Morning prices are always 20-60% less than what you can find in specialty and department stores; I love a good deal! Check out the fun and unique gifts I put together.
The Baker
Full disclosure- I squealed when I saw this Santa cookie jar at my local Tuesday Morning store and knew I needed it. My kids love helping me bake over the holiday season and I know many friends who do the same with their kids. Add some holiday-themed spatulas, bowls and a beautiful serving tray and you have an incredibly thoughtful gift your friend will enjoy all season and for years to come! I love this gift set I curated so much; I may end up keeping it for myself! I found the perfect basket to put all these items in to elevate their presentation. To wrap up the gift, I attached a cross stitch ornament as a gift tag.
Neighborhood Gift Exchange
Neighborhood gift exchanges can be tricky if you don’t know your neighbors too well. We just had a lovely couple move into our neighborhood and I’m still getting to know them. I found this red colander that I knew would be the perfect base for my gift. If there is one tip I can offer when putting together a gift- think outside of the box…literally! Think outside of the gift box and look for items that could hold your gift items uniquely. That’s why I love Tuesday Morning, I can always find a basket, tin or bin that gives my gift a little more character (and the recipient can use!).
The Homebody
I labeled this gift as the homebody basket, but even an entertainer would love these finds! As soon as I saw that Farm Fresh Christmas Trees bin, I knew I had to incorporate it into one of my gifts. I found this soft plaid throw blanket that was made in Italy and paired it with a gorgeous gold candle that smells like Christmas! The acacia wood board and Naughty and Nice cheese spreaders made this the perfect all-around gift.
The Host/Hostess
Holiday parties are in full swing and it’s the perfect time to stock up on gifts for your hosts! Most people will bring wine (awesome!) but I love gifting either a beautifully packaged soap or something they can use in the kitchen. For this year’s host/hostess gifts I found these beautifully embroidered stockings at Tuesday Morning that I wanted to use in lieu of a gift bag. The detail on these stockings is incredible and they were shockingly so affordable!
Extras
I always pick up a few extra gifts to have on hand during the holiday season. This way if I end up needing a last-minute gift, I don’t have to stress or run out of the house during this busy season. I ended up purchasing a few extra trinkets and some wrapping essentials (bags, tissue, basket filler and gift boxes) to make sure I was ready for gift-giving!
Which basket was your favorite? Head into your local Tuesday Morning to get a jumpstart on finding unique holiday gifts!
With love,
