make it personal.

At the beginning of the year I like to stock up on small gifts.  You never know when you might need a dinner party, house warming, birthday, or thinking of you gift.  In This Very Room has some great options, at fairly decent price points.

Some of my favorites are:

trellis magnetic board

the "links" cutting board

And last, but not least...fabulous trays for entertaining

the damask tray

macbeth tray

I just love all the prints to choose from. You pick your favorite color and just add initials, name or monogram.  All your friends and family will adore these personalized gifts. 

Happy gifting!

you can plan on it.

A new year is always exciting to me for many reasons.  One being, I get to get a new planner!  For the past three years I have found these fabulous ones from Gallery Leather. They not only come in fun colors, they are small enough to fit in your purse, but large enough to write all your "to do's" down.  If you get lucky, you may find them at TJ Maxx or Marshall's as well. My mom found them and gave one to me for Christmas.:)

 Happy Planning!
