Here we are...Christmas Eve...and I'm guessing there is someone out there racing around today for last minute gifts. Whether it's the thrill of last-minute shopping or a complete "I have no idea what to get so-and-so", I'm here to offer up some ideas (some of which my loyal readers will recognize from previous blog posts!).
Cozy throws make a great last-minute gift. Image Peacock Alley Instagram.
- A beautiful water carafe - pair with some fun paper or cloth cocktail napkins
- Coffee-table book - pair with a ceramic bowl and some local snacks
- Local/regional cookbook - pair with a fun dishcloth and cooking utensil
- A cozy throw, quilt, sheets or fluffy towels - who doesn't love brand-new linens or cozy blankets? I picked up a new throw at Peacock Alley in Nashville yesterday - so soft and comfy!
- Local cocktail mixers - pair with a bottle of appropriate alcohol, cocktail glasses and bar snacks
- Spa gift certificate - give the gift of relaxation! This is one exception to my "no gift card" rule.
- Museum or zoo membership - as I discussed in a recent blog post, give something the recipient can use all year and may not typically buy for themselves
- Basket of local goods - there are so many wonderful, local products available so put together a local gift basket of items your recipient may like!
Happy last-minute shopping!
