Favorite Things
Every Christmas my girlfriends get together for a girl’s night before the true hustle of the Christmas season arrives. It is a glorious night of laughter, snacks, and sharing our “favorite things” of the season. Each gal thinks of their favorite thing from that year ($10 item) and brings three of that item individually wrapped. Then we all pull numbers and those are the items we take home. It really is the BEST time and I have had the honor to host five of them. It’s GREAT finding what your friends loved throughout the year and why they loved that item. Then you get to try a few different items! It is truly the BEST night. I look forward to it each year. Plus, you can grab a few for family gifts for Christmas.
I wanted to share a few of my favorite items I have given in the past. They are perfect for a gift swap/ white elephant/ or stuffing that stocking. Plus, you have time to try some of my favorite inexpensive items yourself! I do earn commission for my links, but I PROMISE to continue the Real Life way and only share my honest review on items I use and LOVE.
Let’s get started.
THIS TEA Dessert tea has my whole heart. Sadly, everyone knows it and it is sold out at my local Publix each week so I have to buy it on Amazon. I buy the big box and share with friends. It is the BEST cup of tea that you can have in your recliner while you watch TV before bed. Ask me how I know.
THIS TOOL is a MUST. While I am linking it I also notice it is 52% off. So I am actually grabbing one for a friend. I gave this one year with my favorite seasoning. Every person that cooks needs this. Plus, it is a cute stocking stuffer for your mom or mother-in-law.
EVERY WIFE needs this. It is a small, short little book of prayers to pray for your husband. I THOUGHT I loved Coach, and then I started really praying for him a few years ago, and I swear I love him more each day. And on the days I don’t, this book makes it better. Ha.
AHHHHHHH.... The best pens EVER. The price is just great. They truly are so good! I grab them for teacher gifts as well! LOVE THEM.
GEMS are popular with my friends. So everyone loves my favorite over the door gem holder. This is the BEST for anyone that loves Two Hidden Gems.
MY HOUSE HAS TO HAVE THIS Everyone checks what’s for dinner each day. Everyone writes what they need from the grocery store on this list. This little pad works great for us. I love giving it as a gift.
I AM LOVING THIS It brings me great joy to use this after the gym in the morning while I pour my coffee and sit in my recliner. For less than $5 it makes a cute gift to have to give someone you know loves skincare.
THIS. I am the last one to own one I am sure. But for $6 it is another great gift to have on hand! Plus, a great stocking stuffer for that hard to by for but you know they drink coffee person.
MUST HAVE for all of the cute teacher shoes. This is my favorite brand. I have purchased this pack 6 times.
I have already started planning this year’s event because it is my favorite night of the year. I HIGHLY encourage you planning a girl’s night to swap your favorite things of the year.
