Comfort Essential Gift Ideas for the Holiday Season and Beyond

The shopping is done, the stockings are stuffed and the trees are trimmed, and though I still have pending invites, in the midst of all the holiday hustle and bustle, I’ve managed to maintain a sense of balance of what could easily become a season of chaos.

Yes… “A party for one tonight…well one and four paws and a wagging tail.” I’ve managed to carve out a little time to paws (pun intended) and enjoy a festive night-in with a few comfortable essentials perfect for gifting this holiday season and beyond.

My night-in consist of a little crunching and sipping as I relax in one of my favorite chairs, cuddled in my new favorite throw, while savoring the luxurious taste of a medium bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, which pairs nicely with a bowl of perfectly popped corn, all the while enjoying the nostalgia of a holiday movie or a page turning best seller, or simply the soulful sounds of the season. “Oh what a night!”

This ombre throw is so cozy and luxurious.
I’m really feeling this Popcorn Popper. Not only is stove-top popcorn a healthier snack choice, but in my opinion; it’s hands down “the best” putting microwave and air-popped popcorn to shame, and what I appreciate about the Zippy Popcorn Popper is how easy it is to create custom snack mixes by adding ingredients such as chocolate, caramel and more through the silicone covered flavor port on the lid.
Start with 6 tablespoons of olive oil. Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in the stovetop popper over medium heat. Add 1 cup of popcorn kernels, cover the pot, and cook until popped, shaking the pot occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the remaining olive oil through the flavor port on the top of the lid, continue to stir as to equally distribute the flavor. Season with kosher salt and give one final stir. Transfer to a earthenware popcorn bowl and enjoy!
Oh and I just love the contemporary style and solid sham of this wine glass…I find it very sexy!
This whimsical earthenware popcorn bowl is the perfect addition to a movie or game night.
Someone else is enjoying this cozy throw as well.
I chose this book as a stocking stuffer for my Husband. I’d already started reading it and knowing how much a fan he is of Jay-Z’s I figure he’d enjoy as well.
