Holiday Gift Ideas

After prepping large amounts of food for days, cooking for hours in the kitchen to get a dozen dishes on the table for Thanksgiving dinner at our home, then playing games with the kids in our family....it was time to switch gears to Christmas! I shopped for a few hours alone (mom's know how exciting this can be!) taking advantage of Black Friday deals....on Saturday evening, ha! Then we spent the rest of the weekend unpacking boxes of Christmas decorations and placing touches of red, green, silver and gold to every nook and cranny of our home.

Mikayla's framed photo above is the back of her first birthday party invitation. See more about it below! I received compensation in exchange for this post, but opinions and adorable baby are 100% mine.

Gold can be found all over the decor and design world lately, and Minted has some of the best foil stamped designs out there! Here are my top holiday gift ideas...

For all the holiday parties you'll be attending in the coming weeks, any hostess would appreciate customized stationery. These are my top four picks: dots | stripes | bars | hello

Grandparents would love this photo artwork...

For your kids, this watercolor artwork would be a beautiful addition to their bedrooms.

For the home, I can't wait to get these watercolor zodiac sign prints for the bedroom my girls share.
And either the IL or US map prints to add to the gallery wall in my family room.

If you are still in need of a holiday card, you know I love Minted's card stock quality and unique stationery designs! I customized a wedding invitation to use for Mikayla's gold, navy and pink first birthday party, and couldn't be more giddy with the thick card stock, scalloped edges, shimmery foil details and quality photo printing on the back. And the beautifully designed recipient address printing on the envelope is icing on the cake!
