Holiday Gift Ideas: 2014

As much as I love shopping, picking out gifts for other people is a struggle for me personally. I actually enjoy the wrapping part more than picking out the gift [see here and here for my holiday gift wrap ideas from last year].

Buying for family and close friends can be hard, but then there always ends up being a few extra people that I have to buy for that prove to be even more difficult. T.J.Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods (three of my regular go-to stores) challenged me to come up with some gifting ideas for those who might not be on your original list, but could use some holiday cheer; Like the doorman, a neighbor, a teacher, or your boss. I, obviously, accepted the challenge and I'm excited to share what I came up with. I think they're pretty great gifts, if I do say so myself!

At HomeGoods I found a gorgeous wool blanket, with a festive print, that would be a perfect gift for your mother-in-law. I paired it with a jar of ready-to-bake cookie mix. Also, I don't travel for the holiday's, but this would be a great gift, if you do travel, to give to whoever you're staying with as a "thank you."

At Marshalls I spotted the best shaker I've seen in a while. It was hard to not keep it for myself, but I immediately thought of my super fun and quirky neighbor when I saw it. She loves to entertain, so I paired the shaker along with some holiday-appropriate napkins to gift her this year.

And lastly, at T.J.Maxx, I found the perfect way to add a little "umph" to a hostess gift for the party I'm attending next week. Normally everyone brings a bottle of wine or champagne to gift the hostess, but since it's the holidays I wanted to do a little something extra. So, picked up some cute stemless wine glasses and reusable wine beads (they keep your wine cool without any watering down!).

Now it's your turn! Share your personal favorite T.J.Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods holiday gift finds on social media using #bestgiftever and we're going to select one winner to receive a $100 gift card!
