1. Bottle Stopper Garden Kit
Does the lady on your list love a bottle of wine, or three? She’s a kindred spirit with the crew at Love & Lavender.
Only problem is, all those empty wine bottles can start reminding a gal of how much wine she doesn’t have left. Well, we say, when life gives you empty wine bottles, grow a garden in ‘em! Oh yeah, and you can use other kinds of bottles too if, you know, you’re into other beverages.
2. Custom KitchenAid Mixer

These unique candles are a wonderful tribute to the sights and smells you’ll find at some of America’s most beloved national parks. Did she treasure her trip to Yosemite last year?

22. Citrus Sprayer
Once we saw this cool gadget, we wondered why the heck no one thought of it sooner?!

Farewell 2024
At least you’ll give us all something to make small talk about at parties for the next 20 years or so. Our children can tell their children about living through the perils of a life-threatening pandemic. So there’s that.
In spite of the isolation and fear this year has brought, we’ve managed to stick together and care for one another. It’s taught us not to take each other for granted and to cultivate the goodwill we all possess deep down.
Part of the joy of caring for others is giving. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching someone’s face light up when they open your gift. Don’t underestimate the thrill of being the Christmas-morning hero.
See? We can find the bright side of things when times are dark. That’s one of the reasons that humans all around the world deserve a great holiday season.
You’ve got our list. Now get to it.
