Merry Christmas week, everyone! Today I’m sharing some ideas for hostess gifts that go beyond the standard wine, flowers, or chocolates. Bonus: almost all of these are currently available on Amazon Prime so you can order and receive in time for Christmas! My personal favorites on this list are the Veuve (obviously) and the Waterford 2016 ornament. Waterford makes a signature snowflake ornament every year and they look so beautiful on Christmas trees.Β But, the truffle oils and the custom state cheese board are also great gifts!

P.S. – Williams Sonoma Peppermint Bark is currently 20% off! You’re welcome πŸ˜‰

Unconventional Charcuterie

One of my favorite little pleasures is a great charcuterie board. If you’re not familiar with that word, it’s French for meat and cheese. And, if you’re anything like my husband, that word alone is enough to deter you from ordering one. But, a few years ago I was at a winery in Arizona and they served us their sparkling moscato with white cheddar Cheetos. I’m serious. It was delicious!! They later explained that it’s a perfect combination because of the air, crunch, and flavor. That one sip is all it took for me to re-create and brainstorm other unconventional charcuterie items to pair with your wine and not intimidate your guests.

Hello Fresh Review

Like I’ve said before, I am not a chef. I do not enjoy cooking. Meals are a means to an end for me. The same can be said for my husband. WeΒ canΒ cook, and when we do, we try to make healthy, easy, quick meals. So, when one of my friends sent me a free trial of Hello Fresh, we figured we had nothing to lose. The free trial sent us three meals and waived the cost of $70.

I had a few assumptions about Hello Fresh. First, that the meals were relatively easy to make. Second, that it’s healthy. I was half-wrong.
