Picnics Are Coming

Kristing — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:39:43 +0000

It’s the time of year that home gifting is at it’s height. People are moving, having parties, hosting picnics, and everyone brings the same old home gifts of a bottle of wine. Not that the hostess will ever turn down a good bottle of Pinot Grigio (who in their right mind would?) but there are other, more unique home gifts that deal with wine.

For example, what if the hostess of your party wants to drink her wine on the go? There are several occasions where my friends and I have been picnicking and had no good way to bring our wine with us. Along come products like the Sunset Wine Tote. This is more for romantic evenings on a hilltop at sundown with a significant other than for big gatherings. But really, it’s the perfect cap to a day together. It’s got room for one bottle of wine, two glasses, and a bottle opener.

If you’re more into the spring/summer park drinking, you can pick up a wine sack! This little baby can hold three liters of boxed wine (the equivalent of four bottles) perfect for basking in the afternoon sun with a large group of friends. It’s got a sturdy base for standing too and room for an ice pack if you’d prefer chilled white wine!

Telescopes and Sextants as Home Gifts

Kristing — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:12:34 +0000

Sometimes you need a little getaway. A place in your home where you can just get some peace and quiet. Maybe you want to read a book or listen to some music without the hustle and bustle of the rest of the house taking over. This room needs some decorating and thought put into it.

Here are my two favorite home gift ideas for those who are looking for a slick deal!

This great antique, nautical sextant is not just for looks. This actually works to define the angle of stars and sun. It’s a perfect object for on top of your antique desk or work area and definitely looks like something that belongs in a study.

The second item is also from Classic Hostess. It’s a walking stick with a cleverly disguised telescope attached to it! Perfect for long walks and star gazing. Honestly, I might order one for myself because I think it’s so cool. The rosewood handle is 38″ and has a brass covering on the top which conceals the telescope when it’s not in use. When you do want to use the telescope, simply pull off the cover, swivel the telescope out and voila!

These two gifts could make anyone smile!

For only $16.99 – which is 51% off the $34.99 retail price – you get 3 packs of 4 Schick Xtreme 3 Razor blades. Do the math and you get 12 razor blades in all!

These razor blades consist of 3 small blades that allow for a close, comfortable shave that minimizes awful razor burn. Each blade comes with a Glide Bar that helps prevent irritation.

Vases for Home Gifting

When you throw a party, especially a housewarming party, people are going to bring you home gifts. A lot of people will bring you things that you need for your apartment or new home, but some people will bring flowers. Really, nothing says “welcome home” like fresh flowers on the table.

That’s why a great home gift for a new homeowner is a vase. It’s not something that you think of right away that you need, but it is necessary. Finding a really cool vase that can be used all year long is key. I am partial to this azure, lime glass capri vase from Classic Hostess. It’s got style, class, and character. It’s the perfect place to put those daisies, roses, or any other kind of flower that guests will bring over as a hostess present.

The other thing about this vase is that it’s the perfect size. Sometimes when you only have one vase, a small bouquet that a guest brings can look a little anemic. If you get a large bouquet for a special occasion, you want it all to be able to fit in one vase. Finding a happy medium is definitely a must. This vase is ten inches and is the perfect size for any bouquet.

Remember Seasons? Sangria Set for Summer

Kristing — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:06:42 +0000

Brrr! It’s awfully chilly in the Northeast corner of the United States today! Well, I say that relatively because it’s positively normal for it to be this temperature in March. I suppose we’re just a little spoiled because of the astonishingly beautiful weather we’ve been enjoying as of late. It put me in the mood for summer and barbeques and outdoor parties.

In a word, it made me want to mix up a nice batch of sangria and relax on the balcony. This is a great way to spend an evening with friends and loved ones. It’s also a great way to throw a party! The best home gift for a sangria party is a Sangria set!

This great set from Classic Hostess, a great site for home gifts, contains a pitcher for mixing and serving and four glasses. So grab some friends, mix up a batch and have a ball in the evening air. Well, as long as it’s sunny and warm!

Here’s my favorite recipe for sangria:

Mango-Peach Sangria:

1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1 cup Grand Marnier
1 bottle Viognier
1 mango, chopped
2 peaches, cut into thin wedges
1/4 cup mint

Preparation:

In a saucepan, cook the sugar and water until the sugar dissolves; transfer to a pitcher and refrigerate until cold. Stir in the Grand Marnier, Viognier, mango, peaches and mint and serve over ice.

Serves: 2-3
