It’s so hard to believe that Christmas is one week away! We’re seeing some friends and family and then next week, going to head to Pennsylvania for a couple of days where a couple of friends will join us.

Weekend Notes December 18, 2021

A few great last minute gift ideas and favorite links from the week:

This sherpa scarf. I own it and it’s like wearing a blanket! Anything from The Laundress (they also make the best stocking stuffers), the Vogue x Music book for the music lover in your life or Jennifer Zeuner small hoops.

For the man in your life: a Carhartt neck warmer, anything from Tom Dixon or if you want a splurge, the incredibly stylish Tumi carry-on. I also ordered Keith these sweatpants. 

Hacks to make your life easier – great post from Somewhere, Lately. 

For those who struggle with grief during the holidays, here’s how to better prepare for the heavier moments.

Holiday cookie recipes to try this year. Yum!

Also, tomorrow we’re heading to a friends house with all of the kids and I’m planning to bring these easy-to-make Reindeer Pretzel Noses.

Sometimes I forget that H&M home is filled with some really good items. Some favorites include this Washed Linen Table Cloth that I’ve been using for years. This head vase that looks significantly more expensive than it is, this pillow cover and this wool-blend throw that I just ordered for the lake house.

Another cable-knit, half-zip sweater that’s caught my attention (in several colors, too.)

I got this jacket (in a small) and it’s like a stylish sweatshirt material.

Speaking of jackets, I really love all the stylish puffers from SAM.

One week left! Hope it’s a good one for you and you’re able to relax a little and do something that makes you happy.

xx,
