Friday's Feature: Fall Hostess Gifts

Feature:
'Tis the season for holiday gatherings, parties, meals, happy hours, etc.  Most importantly, Thanksgiving! It's always nice to bring a small gift for the hostess to give thanks.  This time of the year it's super easy and beneficial to bring things like a side dish, beverage, appetizer, dessert.  My favorite go to's are wine and candles but recently I've been thinking festive dish/hand towels are really cute too. Or a nice bottle of wine in the cute thankful bag below.  I've seen more pretty inexpensive wine bags this year than I can count - grab a bottle of wine, throw it in the cute bag and you're good to go! 


{one}: pumpkin chalk board (on sale for $11.99!) // {two}: thanksgiving crackers {three} thankful wine bag

{four}: leftovers sign // {five}: turkey pillow // {six}: thankful candle

{seven}: coffee mugs // {eight}: hand soaps // {nine} towel set

Other Happenings:
+ Penn State had a heartbreaking loss last weekend.  Like field goal in the last seconds of the game for Northwestern heartbreaking.  We're off this weekend then have just two games left before the bowl games.  How did this season go by so quickly???

+ Six weeks until Christmas.  SIX weeks.  This time is going to fly and I plan on soaking up each minute of it.

+ Let the weekend begin; we've got friends coming in to visit this weekend so it's sure to be a good one.  It's also a plus to spend the weekend at home and not on the road.

+ What's everyone asking for for Christmas this year?? Any hot items that I should be adding to my list??

'Tis the Season!

    I love the Thanksgiving candle! I'm all about seasonal candles. One of the things I'm asking for is a pair of Wellies. I've wanted some forever and so now is the time to get them!

    Candles and hand soap are always a win in my book! And a good bottle of wine or champagne :) xoxo

    The thankful wine bag is such a cute idea for a hostess gift! That really is so heartbreaking of a loss! We've had this debate at work before about what's a worse loss, getting shut out because your team is terrible or losing at the last minute in a close game. Have a great weekend with friends!

    Such great options for hostess gifts - I've seen so many cute wine bags at TJMaxx lately that there's no excuse to dress up a bottle of wine! I hope that you're enjoying your weekend with friends. :)
