My holiday gift guides officially start next week but since the first of our holiday festivities start this weekend {can you believe it?!} I wanted to share some of my favorite gifts to make people happy. I tend to buy hostess gifts, little things for friends or stock up on my favorite candle for the lovely brands I get to work with throughout the year and this list is filled with items that you know people will love.

Nordstrom always has some of my favorite gift departments and this year their Wit & Wonder shop is perfect for little gifts for special people.

A few of my favorite things…

One of my new years resolutions for 2016 is going to be to learn how to do embroidery. I saw this adorable monogram embroidery kit, which would be such a thoughtful gift to do for a hostess {and it’s fun because YOU get to do it!}. I also love this mini alphabet embroidery kit. Fun, right?!

Who doesn’t love an at-home hot chocolate kit? Or a pretty coffee mug to go with it?

We have an “A” Marquee light on our mantel and get so many compliments on it!

Who wouldn’t love a donut maker? Everyone loves a donut maker!

I’d gladly accept anything in this glitter and gold section. Especially these champagne flutes.

I’m pretty sure everyone would want a set of pretty coasters on their coffee table.

Also, this is genius.
