It’s that time of year again – holiday season! Thoughtful – and useful – gifting is one of my favorite things, so I have put together this food & travel gift guide, inspired by my kitchen and my travels. It is full of new discoveries and stand-by’s, as well as a few indulgences.

I love holiday gift guide season – great choices!
Thank you, Teresa!
Wonderful inspirations for gifts this year, thanks!
Glad to pass on some ideas 🙂 Thank you!
You have some lovely gift ideas, I know I would them. One thing I enjoy about this season that most people might not understand is that we don’t exchange gifts any more. No pressure trying to decide what someone else would like when they would probably exchange it anyway. I guess you might say I’m a Grinch but we have certainly made our family happy because they never knew what to get us. 😀
haha I am not big on exchanges/returns during the holidays either so, of course, I’d rather get or give something that fits the person perfectly, though that does not always happen!
