I love the holidays! Spending quality time with loved ones and eating lots of yummy food makes me so happy. But buying presents for Christmas can be overwhelming with so many choices. While some of you early birds may have already finished your shopping, I thought I’d share some great gift ideas I found online for those of you, who – like me – are just getting started.
GET COZY
Since we’ve all been spending more time at home, I thought these gifts will make friends or family even more comfortable!
Scented ‘Homesick’ Candles
The holidays are going to look different this year, with many people not able to go home to celebrate. This “Homesick” candle is the perfect way to bring the essence of a city, state or country to those that might not be traveling this year. https://homesick.com/
Cozy ‘Warmie’ Slippers
Give your Mom, sister or friend that warm fuzzy feeling – literally! Believe it or not, these slippers are microwaveable so their feet will never get cold again.

Because we all need a little Zen in our lives. Put your favorite scented essential oil in this diffuser and let the calm wash over you.
