Looking for a hostess gift, a secret-santa present, or just something for that one person that's hard to shop for? Well go to Anthropologie and pick up the Capri Blue Volcano candle. It just might be the best smelling candle out there. It smells so good, you may want to keep it for yourself instead of gifting it away!

Four words....

Red. Velvet. Whoopie. Pies!

Whoopie pies seem to be everywhere lately, so why not give them a Christmas twist?

A little tradition of mine is to get at least one new Christmas music CD every holiday season. This year's was Andrea Bocelli's My Christmas. It's like an angel singing wonderful renditions of all the Christmas classics.

Getting a lump of coal for Christmas wouldn't be so bad if it contained a small surprise! Make your own faux-coal, a la Martha, to hold tiny gifts for those on your nice list :)

Maybe it's the soothing neutral colors or the way they're all so neatly stacked in plush little piles, but these pictures of the Luxury Plush collection from Restoration Hardware make me want to drive to the nearest store and get them all! If there's one thing I love, it's snuggling under layers of soft, comfy blankets and pillows. Look at these... can't you just feel the plush comfy, softness?

I'm totally wanting to try out this holiday twist on my most favorite dessert ever, creme brulee. I didn't think you could get any better than classic vanilla, but white chocolate and cranberry, garnished with sugared mint and cranberries? Yes, please!

One of the best things about the holidays is all the yummy treats. Cookies, candies, and cakes galore! This cakelet pan from Williams-Sonoma allows you to bake up a whole village of mini gingerbread houses, creating a sweet and scenic edible centerpiece!
