For starters, I have a slight obsession with organizing items. Baskets, shelving, bins, bowls, really anything I can put something in... I have to have. I also have a large collection of blankets, which is new for me. When I lived in Florida I was fine with having one throw blanket on my sofa. That was enough. Around the holidays I would add one more, just for decorative purposes. But now... now things are different. Here in North Carolina it can dip into the 70's any night of the year 😳 ... which is winter to me. Flat out WINTER... 😂 So now I have shelves of blankets in my living room all. year. long. And I LOVE it. So, obviously I snagged some great throws, and baskets... but I also stocked up on candles and other home goods that could easily be gifted. (Yes, I admit it. I like to always have back up gifts on hand. For anyone and for any occasion... it's a good quality. 😉)
So here is my first and maybe favorite purchase. Have you ever felt a Barefoot Dreams blanket? If not, GET ONE NOW. They are incredible... and no matter how many times you wash them they maintain the softness. I personally love the bamboo material best but this snow leopard beauty got put in my bag instantly. I don't regret it. Neither will you...

Now, besides the amazing throws, I stocked up on storage baskets. These two-tone metallic baskets are great to have on hand because practically every client I get mentions needing more storage. Everywhere. Obviously my preference would always be moving walls and adding closets and genuine designated storage spaces, but reality is, that doesn't always happen. So furniture and beautiful functional pieces are a must. (If you love it get it fast-- it sold out once and is back in stock, but who knows how long!)

Do you love scented candles? I do. And I am picky. I don't mean to be, but a lot of candles give me a headache. So I like to stick to soy, or essential oil based candles that are paragon free. These Voluspa Maison candles are heavenly. And you guessed it... would be a wonderful gift 😉

Bar Carts. Functional, beautiful, and mobile! Yes! I love the surge in bar carts over the past few years because these silly shelves on wheels can be used for so many things other than a mobile bar! Look at this gold and mirror cart available during the sale for less than $150!
When I turned 30 I wrote a letter to my kids. I did the cheesy, "30 things I learned in 30 years," with bits of advice for them that hopefully they will learn from me before they are 30! But one of the top 10 things was to, "spend the money on the sheets." Seriously. Life is too short to have anything less than luxurious sheets. We spend (if we are lucky) 6-8 hours on them every. single. night. I truly believe sheets are always a good investment. Egyptian cotton is a must, the higher the thread count the better, and if you can get the silk- get the silk. Amiright?? Well, Donna Karan is bringing the silk this year. This Habutai silk bedding collection is everything dreams are made of.
So, are you considering getting anything for your home? Do you like gifting home decor or do you think it's too personal? I'd love to hear from you!
