Gift Giving Is Magical

12 Days of Givewaways - Day 12:

  Today we're giving away a collection of one of each of our Stonewall Kitchen Favorites:  Red Pepper Jelly, Roasted Garlic Onion Jam, Cranberry Horseradish Sauce, Orange Cranberry Scone Mix, Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread, Coffee Caramel Sauce, and a Dark Chocolate Toffee Sauce (Comment on this post to enter).

We decided to bring our Stonewall favorites back for the holidays.  Serve the Red Pepper Jelly, Garlic Onion Jam and Cranberry Horseradish over cream cheese with crackers for an easy app.  The Cranberry Horseradish Sauce is also an excellent addition to a turkey sandwich.  The Scone and Quick Bread mixes are super easy but deliciously flavorful.  We've been serving the dessert sauces with dipped pretzels here at IA (which are delicious with that little bit of salt).  They would be equally divine served over ice cream or brownies.

Not only does Stonewall Kitchen make entertaining easy (they'll never be able to tell how easy with all this flavor!) but they use only high quality, REAL ingredients -- you won't find any high fructose corn syrup or hard to pronounce ingredients here.  We also love that Stonewall Kitchen has an entire section of their website dedicated to easy recipes, organized by product.  The Roasted Garlic Onion Jam alone has over a dozen recipes ranging from Meatballs to Warm Brussel Sprout Salad that we can't wait to try.

12 Days of Giveaways - Day 11

Today we're giving away a Luminara Flameless 5" candle (Comment on this post to enter).

We're putting the cart before the horse today -- Luminara is another addition to the Initial Attraction lineup, scheduled to arrive on the premises any day.  Offering the ambiance of a real candle without the flame, these battery powered beauties will provide over 500 hours of flickers.  The pictures do not do these candles justice -- a retailer friend of ours left one of these babies "burning" overnight at her store and received a call from the local fire department in the middle of the night to alert her to what they thought was a forgotten, lit candle.  When it's realistic enough that the fire department falls for it, you know you've got a pretty good flameless candle.  In fact, Walt Disney owns the patent on these candles.  If it's good enough for Walt, we're thinking it should be pretty great for decorating at home.

12 Days of Giveaways - Day 10

Today we're giving away a Dream Package Tote and Spirit Liftah Wine Bag from SCOUT (Comment on this post to enter).

Another newbie to Initial Attraction, SCOUT is a merging of fashion and function.  HUGELY durable (are they indestructible??) and perfectly sized tote bags and accessories are available in a variety of trendy patterns with entertaining names like Breaking Plaid and Remember the Tartans (the two patterns seen here).  Because they're polypropylene, they're easy on the wallet as well.

SCOUT is a great gift for the traveler, teacher, farmers market aficionado, knitter, busy mom and more.  I'm contemplating using SCOUT as the actual wrapping for a few of my gifts, and there's one bag in particular that would be fantastic for transporting holiday gifts too and fro (no more ripped paper bags!).

12 Days of Giveaways - Day 9:

Today we're giving away an R. Nichols candle of your choice (Comment on this post to enter).

Brand new to the Initial Attraction collection, these charming illustrations stand alone in the marketplace -- we've yet to find another candle that offers such clean, simple, joyful designs. In fact, the whole goal of the R. Nichols candle is to merge the illustration with the scent so perfectly that it just makes you smile. What better gift is there to give?

Not quite socks, not quite slippers, these adorable footcoveriings are soft, warm, and comfortable as they are lined with Sherpa fleece.  Available in a variety of sparkly colors, people are purchasing these not only as slippers, but also to wear at parties or visiting friends when you want (or need) to take your snowy boots of.  The best part about them?  They are machine washable and won't shrink.

If you win this giveaway, you must be prepared to come in quickly to claim your prize.  Snoozies are sized and selling out quickly -- we will not be restocking this item.

You know and love Crabtree's luxurious and fabulously scented hand creams, but did you know that they offer a nail lacquer too?  Available in a wide array of modern and fun colors, these nail lacquers make for great stocking stuffers.  Or, pair with the remover wipes and a tube of hand cream and you've got a mini manicure or pedicure sure to delight.

12 Days of Giveaways - Day 5:

Today we're giving away a K. Hall Hand Lotion and Hand Wash in your choice of scent (Like this post to enter, a Comment will get you a second entry).

Beautiful packaging, even lovelier scents.  Meme has had her eye on K. Hall for years, so we're thrilled to finally introduce you to this family owned, made in St. Louis company.  With distinctive scents like Cypress & Cassis and Egyptian Jasmine, you're sure to fall as hard for these bath and body products as Meme and I have.

K. Hall does not use animal or petroleum bases and they do not test on animals.  With all natural ingredients, these are products you can feel good using (and they will make you feel good!).  My new favorite product is the bath salts -- beautifully packaged, you get a full two POUNDS of mineral salts, that would look lovely in any bathroom.

Keep K. Hall in mind for anyone on your gift list that you feel already "has everything."  Not only will this wonderful line surprise and delight them, but it will get used up (so as not to take up space in an un-useful way).

Today, we're giving away a Mariposa Mom Picture Frame (Like this post to enter, a Comment will get you a second entry).

We love mom!  And this adorable statement frame let's her know you do too.  Not her vibe?  Mariposa has a wide array of picture frames, with a look and feel perfect for any gift recipient, including mom, grandparents, new couples, new parents and more.  The best part about them (aside from finding something just right to commemorate your special photo)?  They're made of cast aluminum and won't tarnish.

Don't forget, Mariposa isn't just for pictures -- their brilliant cast aluminum pieces are great for entertaining as well.  From napkin boxes to statement trays to beautiful serving pieces and more -- Mariposa is a lovely way to celebrate life's memorable moments.

You know what a special treat these Beverly Hills based confections are (have you tried the new Gingerbread Cookie Bites or Peppermint Malt Balls??).  We're taking things up a notch by offering these beautiful boxes which house 3 Sugarfina cubes of your choice, so you can make your own gift set.  A great alternative to a bottle of wine for the hostess, send instead of a mug for the teacher, or sweeten anyone's day with this personally curated (by you!) collection.

Don't forget, Sugarfina's individual cubes make for great stocking stuffers and their tasting packs easily round out a gift when you want to do just a little bit more.

The winner will be picked by random number generator on 12/3/14.
