Cyber Monday - My Christmas Wish List

Since I have been a very good girl this year, I plan to do a bit of Christmas shopping for myself today for Cyber Monday. This day, created to encourage online shopping, is the last day of deep discounts for many retailers.

Chinoiserie Christmas Gifts

Pagoda Jigsaw Puzzle

I posted on the ginger jar version of this jigsaw puzzle shown below and it sold out, but has restocked along with this fabulous pagoda one above. A lovely gift - and they come beautifully boxed. Grab them before they sell out again. Update - you just bought out the pagoda, but there are still some of the blue and white ginger jar left. A wonderful brain activity for a winter's day that does not involve a computer screen or noise.

Favorite Books for the Chinoiserie Lover

CCC

 

There are few things I would rather receive than a beautiful interior design book. Yesterday afternoon, I took a break from Christmas decorating and the dogs and I sat in the lanai cuddling under a ChappyWrap blanket as it has turned a bit chilly here - 75 degrees - LOL. I enjoyed reading one of my new books Rattan.

Blue & White Gifts for the Chinoiserie Lover

Tianlong Lidded Jar

A wonderful collection of blue and white gifts for the chinoiserie lover in your life - or for yourself!

Christmas Shopping

CCC

 All of my favorite stores have started their Black Friday sales early, so it's great timing to get ahead of the rush and get those orders in and things shipped. With supply chain issues, there is no time like the present.

Here are some of my favorites and links to the Black Friday sales with codes if required. My first pick is my Christmas gift for my pups Harper and Margot. This beautiful chinoiserie dog step ottoman allows your fur baby to get up and down from tall beds or sofas with ease. Whether your pup is small, older, has back or hip issues, or you are wisely trying to avoid problems caused by jumping up and down, these are the nicest pet steps I have ever seen. I have been looking for something like this for years and someone finally created it. It is available in white or navy with ivory or tan performance fabric cushions.

Christmas Gifts for Your Car

My Audi Baby

 

With all the snowbirds returning to Florida, I am bringing my car in for servicing bright and early this morning before things get busy around here.

I am a bit of a car buff and thought I would share some favorite car toys that you might love for yourself or for the car lover in your life. These would all make great gifts.

Easy Peasy Lemon Recipe

Linguine with Lemon

 

I made this dish last night for dinner and it was so easy and so delicious.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. All you need is pasta, a lemon, a knob of butter, a generous pour of heavy cream and a hunk of the best Parmesan you can get your hands on.

Early Christmas Shopping Steals

Cashmere Sleep Mask

 

With experts predicting that everything decent will be gone by Black Friday and that prices will be rising, many people have started Christmas shopping early this year. I have already started mine. I have rounded up some great ideas for holiday gift giving with some serious deals starting at $4.00!!! Many have no size and would make great stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, Secret Santa, office gifts, and the like. I just grabbed this pink cashmere sleep mask above for $8.00.
