coziest fall gift basket

the coziest fall gift basket- perfect for a thanksgiving hostess gift
cozy gift basket ideas

Even though fall is not right now in New Zealand, we do celebrate Thanksgiving from across the ocean (and we are even hosting this year)!

And even though there isn’t really much ‘cozy factor’ about the beginning of summer in New Zealand, there is something about seeing November on the calendar that makes me want to gather all-the-warm-and-cozy-things.

I actually put this cozy gift basket together for a friend in our actual autumn (aka- months ago), but I thought it’d make a great Thanksgiving hostess gift as well.

Perhaps these cozy baskets are my favorite because they’re a compilation of so many of my favorite things? Fluffy socks, a cozy mug and fancy tea (you could also do yummy hot cocoa!), a pumpkin candle, fall baking goodies and dark chocolate- it’s like a recipe for sitting by a fire with a good book.

As I’m looking at this, every cozy basket probably also needs a fuzzy blanket and a good read tucked in there as well. Perhaps you can remedy my oversights if you put one together? Stay warm, friends!

embroidered map Christmas ornaments

Ok, so these might be my favorite Christmas ornaments that I’ve made (maybe ever? That’s a bold statement, but I REALLY love these New Zealand map ornaments). Maps. Plus Christmas ornaments. Plus embroidery. Plus a nod to our new home in New Zealand. It’s pretty much a compilation of a bunch of favorites. They’re so […]

homemade frozen cookie dough (guy gift idea!)

I am going to let y’all in on a little secret- I give Adam homemade frozen cookie dough for *almost* every holiday (birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day- cookie dough for all!). Since it is the biggest hit ever with Adam, I tucked a ‘tube’ of frozen cookie dough into a birthday gift for one […]

50+ tried-and-true ideas for the BEST favorite things gift basket

how to put together the BEST favorite things gift basket

A couple weeks ago, it was a friend’s birthday here in NZ. And I had SO much fun putting together a “Favorite Things” gift basket for her. (It’s funny- I always make the mistake of assuming our kiwi friends have heard of/know about all our favorite things. But turns out, many of these items that […]

edible gourmet birthday cookie dough

how to make edible gourmet birthday cookie dough (makes a great gift!)

In Texas, our go-to neighbor and coworker Christmas gift was edible gourmet cookie dough. SO YUMMY (and so easy). Recently, the kids and I were talking about all-time edible gifts and this cookie dough came up. Conveniently, a couple friends had upcoming birthdays, so we had a chance to make a batch. This time we […]

travel lego box

how to make a travel lego carrier

The idea of a travel lego box is totally not new (in fact, I made one for Burke a few years ago). But I put together a super easy version for our trip to Europe a couple summers ago, and now that same Lego carrier has now made its way around the world. It was […]
