This time of year not only entails holiday lights, holiday decor and gift giving, but it's also the time of year for festive holiday parties. Whether you are hosting a holiday party for friends and family or attending one or more get-togethers over the next few weeks, holiday parties are a chance to get all dolled up and don your finest dress.  

To many, the holidays are synonymous with entertaining so the pressure can be on to throw the biggest and best holiday party. There are others out there for whom even the thought of having a dozen or more people over to their home leaves them feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Regardless of what end of the spectrum you fall, there's no need for a holiday party to be over-the-top or stressful. Having friends and family over during this time of year is meant to be fun and celebratory.

The holidays are right around the corner and that means delicious food and special times. This time of year is also marked by gifts! Giving someone something you know that they will love and will make them feel special can bring us joy.

We all have those friends in our lives that seem to have everything. They buy things for themselves when they see something they want and leave their friends and family at a loss for what to buy them this time of year. For someone who has everything, you want to get them something special - something unique that they don't already have.

For some of us, the pressure to decorate and deck our halls this time of year is overwhelming. Not to mention there are many other things on our to-do lists this time of year. While the idea of decorating your home with trees, garland and other wintry vignettes might seem daunting, holiday decorating doesn't have to be, and shouldn't be, a chore.

It's the beginning of December and that means Christmas is right around the corner.  With December comes sparkly holiday decorations, family gatherings and pretty presents wrapped under the tree among other things. It's a magical time of year with many traditions and giving hearts.

It's hard to believe that the holidays are already upon us. It's the time of year for twinkling lights, festive music and, of course, gifts! Whether you are shopping for a friend, spouse, sibling or parent, we have a wide selection of gifts to choose from this holiday season.

Dad's big day is around the corner {Sunday, June 15 to be exact}. It's time to get the special man in your life something unique to say thank you for always being there, providing guidance, a laugh, or a shoulder to cry on. You may have exhausted your typical gift list though. You already got him that power tool he needed last year and you want to buy him something other than the usual button-up shirt he requests.

Mother's Day is this weekend, but it's not too late to get a gift. We pulled together several fabulous gift options last week available in our online boutique. It was so hard to narrow down options from our wide array of gift choices so we thought we would share a few more with you today for all those last-minute shoppers.

Here's some more great gift options for Mother's Day.

Mother's Day is right around the corner, meaning it's time to start thinking about a beautiful and unique gift to get for someone so special. But what do you get the person who never asks for anything or has everything they need? You get them a truly unique, rare gift that will leave a lasting impression.
