Hostess Gift Guide + My XMas Tree

I had a completely different post in mind today. However, Brad & I have a Christmas party to attend tomorrow night, and I found myself not knowing what to give to the hostess. So, I did a little research, and I have come up with, what I think, are the best gift ideas for any hostess.

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5

And now for a few of my Christmas decorations around my house...

Unfortunately, our fireplace was sacrificed for another bathroom... So the stockings were hung on the built-ins with care! And I found the most perfect gingham ribbon. However, when I got home, I realized I didn't buy near enough to wrap my tree. Thus, the bows.

Here's another sneak peak at my new striped walls <with a very dirty Ella Bella>...

Once I find the perfect art, I'll share the entire wall.

P.S. I just ADORE my new spotted pillow!

TGIF, everyone!!!
