Lalalala...ya may not want to hear it, but we're exactly 6 weeks away from Christmas Day, people! 6 weeks. I've got you covered. I'll be bringing lots of holiday gift ideas for all the people on your list. Gift guides. Holiday wrapping ideas. Fun traditions. I hope you find my ideas on what makes a gift memorable helpful. I'll give you a little backstory on why I'm so passionate about meaningful gifting. But first, if you know someone that might like what I'm serving up here - tag them below. I'd love to spread the word and shorten those return lines the day after Christmas. So here's the deal. I love shopping. Growing up, we didn't go camping or hiking or play sports on the weekend. We shopped. So I'm pretty good at it. I'm even better at it now because I have the perspective (after a cross country move from and then back to TX in less than a year but that's another story) that we don't need all the stuff. It's fun to give and get but it must be done with intention and that takes time and effort. I use my skills to offer the best of the best of what I see out there. Sometimes it’s something I’ve bought and know it’s top notch. Or things I notice and love but don't personally need. I do lots of "Marie Kondo-ing" before I even leave a store or a website. I will see an item, take a pic, tell it how cute it is or how perfect it is and then LEAVE. IT. THERE. I didn't need it BUT you may have the perfect person or reason on your list and POOF, magic. So that's my story and why I've added Gift Concierge service, a personal gift guru at your fingertips to help you muddle through the weeds to find the perfect something for your someone. When you see an item in my feed, in a gift guide or story know that it's special. It hits one or more of my gifting principles: NOVEL, USEFUL, PERSONAL, LASTING or an EXPERIENCE. I'm especially fond of that last one, #makingmemories. I encourage you to shop intentionally so that your gifts stand the test of time and remind your recipient of you. . . . . . . #sixweeksaway #herecomesmrsclaus #ticktock #giftguru #giftconcierge #giftguides #giftguide2019 #giftlikeyameanit #intentionalgifting

What happens when the cookie jar is sweeter than the cookies that go in it?! A few @worldmarket finds over in my Stories today. Nesting dolls were a theme for them this season and I’m loving it. Since we’re on the topic of cookies...I’m a chocolate chip fan but it’s gotta be crispy. Chewy or crispy. What’s your pref? . . . . . #nestingdolls #cookiejar #holidaybaking #worldmarket #sweettreats #giftguru #giftguide #giftideas #giftconcierge #giftlikeyameanit #givelikeyameanit #atxblogger #calligraphyatx #atxcalligrapher #handlettered #lovelettered #guidetogifting #thepinkpen #weddinginspo #bridesofaustin #austinwedding #engaged #atxbride #texasbride #luxurybride #austinweddingvendor #theknot
