Frosted mercury glass with a burnout snowflake, so understated and beautiful. I just love this Christmas ornament! The holiday season has arrived and Christmas Day is only weeks away. How does it sneak up on us every year?! Time to kick it into gear and get some shopping done! With so many wonderful gifts to choose from here a pberry's, you may need to round up a few more people to buy for! Customers have actually said that!
Thought I would do a "look book" type of post to inspire you, and hopefully help you cover some ground before you walk in the door! These items are in no particular order...I love them all...and they are certainly not all that we have, this is just a sampling!
Originally these were called Redneck Wine Glasses, they've since been renamed Hillbilly Wine Glasses. Same great design, same great reaction! Ours come in 2 varieties, Ammo (with a piece of ammunition in the stem and directions to break glass in case of emergency!), and Black and Gold Rocks (with black and gold rocks in the stem for Steeler fans everywhere!). So fun!
I love these little Vietri mini platters paired up with a dip mix. What a wonderful way to give a nice piece of this Italian pottery without worrying about matching some one's dishes! Who can't use one of these at the holidays?! We also have the dip mixes in Vietri red and white polka dot oval bowls.
I have a tray fetish! I love the color and texture of these willow trays and find them to be so versatile. Perfect for your stack of holiday cards, or keys and such, or magazines on a table. Fresh fruit would be great on these, or nuts, or greens and pine cones. I love trays!
Here are Vietri Santa Plates paired up with a cheeseball mix that, when made, fits perfectly on the little plate. Such a sweet little gift! Wonderful hostess gift...take it to the next level and make the cheeseball and deliver it on the plate...no need to worry about getting it back after the party!
It's not a secret that we all loved the cake rounds we carried in years past, however, I decided to change it up a tad this year when I found these scrumptious FUDGE CAKES! Yes, it's a cake of fudge, enrobed in chocolate that you slice and chunk to serve! These have been very well received and are going quickly!
Aroma therapy! Microwaveable body warmer in 2 scents, Cranberry and Lavender. We all know how these work, right? Pop the insert in the microwave to heat, then put it back in the LAMBSWOOL cover (read: so incredibly soft and cuddly) and get your cozy on!
I love the shape of these, just like mom's hot water bottle...but waaaaayyy nicer!
Speaking of *cozy*, if you ARE going to give a bottle of wine, you absolutely have to sink it in one of these! Usually we go with a topper, but this year, it's bottoms up!
Scrappy, scrolly, metal trees make a clean, simple statement. Such a nice alternative for someone who doesn't put up a Christmas tree any longer.
I like our wreath offerings this year! This is the birch bark wreath that came in a small and large size. The large is sold out. Just pretty. The tin sign stands about 3' and can be hung on a wall or propped as a backdrop.
Red is so hot right now...not just because it's Christmas, I'm seeing it pop up in decorating more and more. It started in kitchens, and is now making it's way into the rest of the house in accent pieces! The iron butterfly chair is to die for, it's as simple as that. I loved it so much, I built our Winter Garden theme around it!
Here's a closeup of the houndstooth throw on the butterfly chair, and the scrap metal wreath!
Stunning. Grey is also a hot color right now...so neutral. The throw also comes in camel, also a neutral color. And how about this wreath. Oh my goodness, how I love this wreath. Small but mighty!
Chunky, creamy white pottery for decoration only (not food safe), but would love to hold a bunch of holly branches for you! How pretty would THAT be?! And, as for the square platter...I adore it.
Another member of this year's wreath family...the woodrose and frost tipped pine cone wreath. Creamy, dreamy and lovely, in 2 sizes!
SNOW GAUGES! Ok, I get that we don't live in Colorado, but it's not like we don't get ANY snow...except for last winter! Does it really matter? I think every home in this area, with small children should have a snow gauge! My grandchildren are getting one...SHHHHH!...and yours should too!
He's just so darn good looking with the snowflake candles in him, imagine him with apples, or pomegranates with greens! I love his little stubby feet! And don't miss the tray he's sitting on! (Scroll down, please!)
Industrial grey metal! My favorite. This tray comes in 3 sizes. I love a tray like this sitting on an ottoman or coffee table for remotes and magazines. So cool!
For the cook who has everything! It's been proven that holiday cookies taste better when the snowflake handled measuring cups are used. Just kidding! These are the same ones that Paula Deen uses though, and I'll bet her cookies are good! And hey, if you make the baker happy, you just may end up with a cookie or two, so there's that to consider as well!
Here we go with the trays again. This (and the next one) are old, authentic, European grape gathering baskets! This one is HUGE and would look great sitting on the bed in a guest room...filled with a couple rolled up fluffy towels, bubble bath and a good magazine. Add a lovely candle and matches, water pitcher and glass, or bottle of wine....somehow it turned into a bath themed basket! Why not?!
Here's the ROUND one! Oh, how I love the round one! It's really large as well! These baskets / trays are so sturdy too! A lot of grapes were gathered in this. So much character in this otherwise plain basket.
Just like the snow gauge, I think every house with small children should have snowmen draft dodgers! Need I say more?!
How brilliant is it that someone thought to take a relatively low calorie pretzel, dunk it in a vat of chocolate, give it a generous coating of sugary goodness... and call it a gift!
Brilliant...and soooooo yummy!
Oh what comfort you'll find in a long sleeve nightshirt that comes IN A SACK! Love great packaging! Two designs, One size fits all! Doesn't get much easier than that....
Not a nightshirt kind of gal? No prob! I give you the Magic Top 'N Shorts (see the packages in the sink?)! Just remove the wrapper and put in water and in 5 minutes, you'll have a cool top and a hot pair of shorts (see the mannequin)! NOT EVEN KIDDING! It's magic...and so fun!
Spending an extended amount of time with your extended family? In the * spirit* of holidays and families, meet your new best friend! Clips to your belt loop so it's never out of reach! What a great girlfriend gift!
For the milder beverage toters...the insulated lidded mug in festive stripes or dots...aka: how to decorate your desk or vehicle for the holidays! Very giftable too!
I hope this gave you some ideas! Please keep in mind, the Alex and Ani bracelets are so hot right now, and make wonderful gifts, as do the John Wind bracelets, the Sid Dickens memory blocks, and the Vera Bradley bags and travel pieces!
Enjoy your holiday and, as always, thank you so much for shopping at pepperberry's! You're all so good to me, and I truly appreciate it!
See you when you get here!
