Gift Guide 2013: Let's Party

Everyone loves to go to a party, but there are only some people in your life that actually throw them. These gifts are for her. Let her know how much you appreciate her willingness to entertain and feed you with a fun addition to her home. Plus, she will always invite you back. 

1. I love a stemless and these are girly and festive BHLDN ($68 for set)

2. A Polaroid camera would be so fun at a party ($199) 

3. These gold playing cards are perfect for game night and a great stocking stuffer. Anthropologie ($18)

4. Love me a Moscow Mule in one of these from Anthropologie ($18)

5. An elegant and rustic cheese board from Anthropologie ($48)

6. Love these elephant votives from Nate Berkus for Target ($9 each)

7. These trays would be great for appetizers or as a display on a table. Serena & Lily ($98)

8. A black and white stripe tablecloth would make anyone happy. Anthropologie ($228)

This makes me want to throw a party! That is a bit on the back burner right now in babyland, but at least I can send a couple of these to other hostesses on my list. 

Happy Shopping!

Weekend Wish: Fancy Flowers

What girl does not love fresh flowers? Either delivered from your love, picked fresh from the garden and arranged, or picked up at the local farmer's market, they make every girl happy. Arranging flowers is so much harder than you would think. Throwing them in a vase just does not look as great as if a professional did it. And while we would all love to live like a Waldorf and have fresh flowers strewn all over, perfectly arranged, it just does not seem attainable for reality.


Or is it??


H.Bloom is a subscription flower service that delivers gorgeous arrangements to you as often as you want based on your style. It is also very affordable with arrangements starting at $35. By the time you buy your favorite flowers at Whole Foods and get them in a vase, you probably spent much of that and do not love the result.

They do not deliver everywhere yet, but check out the site and see if it would work for you. How amazing would this be as a wedding gift or for a new mom? Now we can all get a little fantasy into our homes.
