today´s the day, the final day I almost thought it wouldn´t come but I am posting my biggest gift guide to date and hope to help you shop some last minute ideas for all kinds of women in your life.
I am going to break it down in different categories to make it easier to shop. This should be the best time of the year so there is no time and place to feel overwhelmed and stressed about getting the right presents for everyone. Most of the items have Prime shipping so they will definitely be here in time for Christmas.
I can´t believe it´s only the first week of December and we already got our Christmas cards printed and ready to send out. How in the world did this happen while chasing a busy toddler!!!
This is the fifth year in a row we have ordered our Christmas cards from kartenmacherei – an online shop where you can choose from the pretttiest designs. They started with a few and now have tons of different ones to offer.
Our card is called Festive Forest and it has the prettiest gold sparkles all over. We added three pictures, one big at the front and two inside which is totally enough but always hard to pick from.
I went with a forest theme this year as our pictures where taken in October and there are leaves and Fall everywhere around us. Next year I am going to try and get some snow in the pics. We´ll see how this turns out.
I finally came around to shot a close up of my tree. To be honest I have done many trees the last few years but this years tree might be my absolute favorite – or am I saying this every year!!!
The color concept for our Christmas tree is as simple and classic but as chic and beautiful as possible. It is Red and Green – THE original Christmas colors in my opinion.
I always start by adding the plain ornaments to the tree and go from there. For this year´s concoction I went with all red and green ornaments. After that I added tartan print bows and glittery poinsettias in green and red. The poinsettias might be my favorite feature of the tree.
Afterwards I go and get our special ornaments like the pickle or the Mickey bubble and place them all over tree. The last thing I add are the lights. They are just clip on and super easy to put on.
I also got some fun things like the candy canes and candies so Emilia can also grab some things from the tree. We also started a new tradition this year. I am letting her pick one new ornament every year (going to write the year onto it) and then place it somewhere on the tree. This will be so much fun and when she is old enough and moving out she can start decorating her Christmas tree with all the cute ornaments she collected over the years.
She was very interested the first two or three days and always wanted to grab some ornaments but now she only wants to turn on the lights of the tree and look at it.
it was a pretty relaxed weekend over here with lots of naps and food other than that I caught on blog stuff and we baked gingerbread cookies together with Emilia.
It was her first time doing something like that and since she loves to help in the kitchen she was super happy about it and of course ate some of the dough too but I mean that´s what baking is all about am I right?!
The gingerbread dough was pre-made and cooled so it was pretty easy to handle. In fact I got it from the food section of Ikea. Yes you heard that right. We went to Ikea just for cookie dough.
All of my decor like the gingerbread baloon is from Pink Dots Party Store. You can shop after seasons and / or colors so it is a pretty easy experience. I get so many of my party stuff from there no matter the ocassion.
