coziest fall gift basket

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

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)!

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 […]

When we lived in Colorado, we went to my mother-in-laws cookie party every year and LOVED trading yummies […]

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 […]
