I always look forward to your holiday newsletters - especially your gift guide. I often struggle to find just the right gift and I appreciate this year's selections! The cookbook by Erin French looks fantastic and I love gifting ornaments - thanks for these beautiful suggestions. You also had me at peppermint bark! I am eyeing some of these items for myself, lol.

I am excited about the Za'atar tahini sauce on roasted sweet potatoes - you bring together some of my favorite flavors with this recipe. I love Za'atar and appreciate you introducing me to this magical earthy spice blend.

I am also thinking about attempting beef Wellington this year. My mother and her best friend used to make it every Christmas Eve. Good luck with yours!

LOVED this years Holiday Gift Guide!

I couldn't agree more about the Brooks, totally life changing.

Erin French's food always looks so yummy!

The powdered pumpkin, wow, who knew that even existed. I bet its freaking AMAZING and such a great shortcut or even if you just need a smidge! A PSL I cant get behind.

I have always wanted to try the Saie illuminator gel. I know coming from you its got to be simple, elegant and serve a purpose.... I may give it a shot during the Sephora sale. ;)

I think I am most excited to see/hear how this beef wellington comes out- whoa, what a feat!

Great summary and recipes!

Format is easy on the eyes and LOVE how you explain WHY you like the products.

Our gift guide comes out end of month...hopefully... but same approach. NO $$, just stuff we like or think others will. Cheers!
