A few gift ideas from around the web:
I bought these MERIWOOL Men’s Merino Wool Midweight Baselayer Bottoms for my husband a few years ago and he pretty much wears them every day under his jeans once the temperatures drop. They keep him nice and warm while he works outside and were totally worth the price if you are looking for this type of gift for someone.
Making sugar cookies this year? MoodForWood has some seriously cute engraved wooden rolling pins in stock and ready to ship.
Amazon has bottles of Philosophy body wash for just $10. Lemon custard, coconut splash and margarita are on sale. {I love this stuff!}
Looking for a crazy good aged cheddar to send someone? Harman’s Really Aged Cheddar is the best stuff on earth and it even comes gift wrapped.
If you’re like me and like to wear basically the same thing everyday, specifically the Gap Modern Crew T-Shirt, they are on sale right now for $11.98 each.
Artist Jill Millward has put together 2 different mixed sets of wintery notecards. Each set has 5 cards and you can find her on Instagram.
DIY Mulling Spice – Have you ever made a Crock Pot of hot apple cider? If not, you are missing out on one of the great pleasures in life. Plus, rather than spending a fortune on pre-assembled mulling spices, you can make your own. Give the extras away as gifts. It’s win-win. Get the recipe HERE or Pin it for Later.
And last but not least, Botanical Interests is offering free shipping on all orders through Monday.
That’s it. That’s all I’ve got. Have a great weekend! 🙂

Brrrrr! It is chilly in north Florida too – 40 degrees! Today’s List:
1) Finish laundry
2) Declutter hutch (where all the holiday dishes are) and utensil drawer (where are the “extra” type gadgets are)
3) Take photos of recently finished items and get them listed on Etsy
4) Have a bonfire tonight – roast hotdogs and marshmallows!
5) Start putting out some Christmas decorations
6) Relax and have a cup of hot cocoa (just bought the white chocolate hot cocoa mix to try)

Just curious what size Gap shirt you buy for yourself, Mavis? We’re about the same size, I think. I’m more of a V-neck and short sleeve person, so was also wondering if you’ve tried either of those versions of Gap’s tees.
Mavis Butterfield says
I buy a medium in both the short sleeve and long sleeve shirts. I don’t buy v-necks but I would think they’d be the same.
