Five Favorites

A few of my favorite things for the holiday:

Cookie Stamper

The Eppersons are big on baking cookies during the holidays. Scratch that. We’re big on baking cookies throughout the year!

These Cookie Stampers with retro designs are perfect for stamping your signature cookies and perfect for gift-giving to friends and loved ones.

Available at Quirks, Poweplant Mall, Rockwell

The wooden handle makes it easy to stamp the dough.

Si Eau de Parfum by Giorgio Armani

The holidays are all about attending parties and family reunions. Looking and smelling fresh is a must! Si Eau de Parfum by Giorgio Armani is my new favorite scent.

With notes of Sicilian bergamot, mandarin oil and liquer de cassis, Si promotes instant feel-good charm. A hypnotising heart of absolutes including rose de mai, neroli and Egyptian jasmine makes for a sultry character and uniquely chypre base notes of patchouli oil, woods, amber and Orcanox are blended with the sweet animalic accord of vanilla absolute.

You’ll smell yummy all day!

Nine West Drusilla Pumps

I am always on the lookout for day to night shoes that are both stylish and comfortable. Nine West has been my favorite go-to shop now for walkable shoes.

My latest purchase is the round-toe butter yellow pumps with heels measuring approximately 3.75″.

Échiré Burre de Baratte

Let’s talk about butter, shall we?

Échiré Burre de Baratte is one of the best butters you’ll ever have.  It is made from the best ingredients (the milk comes from 66 farms of close proximity to each other so the cows enjoy the same grass and climate) and handmade in a small pocket of western France. It is the world’s most exclusive – and expensive – butter, loved by chefs and served in many of the world’s most famous restaurants.

If you’re wondering how Échiré is pronounced, go here.

Available at Rustan’s Grocery/The Market Place

Someone has “intercepted” the Échiré butter before I transferred it to our butter boat.

Gift bag from National Book Store

I love gift wrapping presents but there are times when I’m stressed and pressed for time that all I want to do is just bag the damn gift, haha!

For quick and stress-free gift wrapping, this striped Santa paper bag is the answer. The design is unisex and suits adults and kids alike.
