A Few (More) of Our Favorite Things

It is the holiday season and if Oprah can keep talking about her favorite things, then so can we. Throughout the year items catch my eye that I dream about one day getting, but in the last few months of the year it seems that I am bombarded with things that I simply must have. Inevitably I am torn with buying these things for myself or sticking to my gift giving budget.

The good news is that there are so many amazing sales before and after Christmas. This helps to ease my purchasing guilt. So, if you are still searching for those perfect gifts to give, or are on to shopping for yourself, here are things that might be of interest to you. Of course we can’t stay away from the wood products, but we threw a couple décor ideas in as well.

Acacia Wedge Server

This beautiful server is a great way to showcase our favorite wood material. I love the rustic natural feel that can compliment any appetizer or main dish. And when it is not being used for food presentation it can be adorned with a lovely vase or candles. This is a great gift or an accent for your own holiday entertaining.
