Hostess Bread Basket Gift Idea

A Hostess Bread Basket Gift Idea is incredibly thoughtful, and something that the hostess can put out that evening to let guests enjoy, or even at a later date! Hostess Bread Basket Gift Idea If you've dug in to the blog much at all, you may have seen the Sunshine Gift Basket, New Baby Gift Basket and the Relaxation Gift Basket that I created for a few people in my life. I absolutely adore building gift baskets, and thinking a little outside of the box when creating them. When we made the White Chocolate Spiced Pecans, and the Homemade Blackberry Butter the...

Sympathy Gift Basket Idea

Sympathy Gift Basket Idea: Sending necessities to those who've recently lost someone, so they don't have to worry about having things on hand for guests. Sympathy Gift Basket Idea for bereavement, grieving, funeral, and condolence. I'll never forget when Karen, a sweet, sweet friend of ours, sent over a gift basket FULL of necessities, when we tragically lost my husband's father. During that time of grief, condolence, and incredibly busy time, the last thing we were thinking about, was heading to the store to stock up on paper goods. Instead, we were spending time with those that we love, and greeting...

A Little Creativi-“TEA” Gift Giving

This post brought to you by Tazo® Tea. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Fantabulosity. Creativi-"TEA" Gift Idea: A "creative" way to give someone a small gift for any occasion. Perfect for a teacher gift, friend, or co-workers. This Fall, I get the pleasure of speaking at the Inspired Retreat, in a little town just outside of Nashville Tennessee.

When I was asked to speak this Fall, I knew there...

This "You're Sweet," gift idea, can be used in SO many ways. Hostess Gift, a gift idea for best friend, neighbor gift, co-worker, and so much more.

Finger Paint Art: “I Love You Daddy”

This post was sponsored by P&G as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. For Father’s Day this year, I knew I wanted my kiddos to craft up something special for their daddy, so off to Pinterest I went.

You’re Invited… Favorite Things Party

Favorite Things Party Invitation Ideas: Every year, I host a Favorite Things Party, and try to have one big "wow" factor. This year, it's the invites. Well... maybe. So we all know I love a good "WOW," factor at all of the parties that I style and host. With the first Favorite Things Party, the "wow," factor was the food. The second party, the "martini bar." This year... I'm thinking it's the invites. I wanted each and every lady to feel pretty, and fabulous, when she received the invitation for my Favorite Things Party.

Silent Night… Movie Night…

This post was sponsored by Redbox as part of a program with Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. If you're like me, you're all about last minute, simple gifts. I'm the worst procrastinator about some things, and that includes gift-buying. I LOVE giving gifts. Like, my heart goes CRAZY pitter-pat, when I give someone something. I love seeing their face light up, of surprise, or thankfulness. But there's just some reason that I REALLY drag out buying a gift. So, I usually find myself scrambling at the last minute to come up with something. To ease the stress...

Fantabulosity’s Holiday Gift Guide

You know that urge you get to buy yourself something, when you're shopping for others? No? {Facepalm} Maybe it's just me then? I can't help it though! I'm totally drawn to pretty things, and think, I have to have that! But if I seriously buy myself one more thing this year, {trying to justify that it's just an advance Christmas gift from my husband}, my husband may put me on lockdown. :) So while I was shopping for some gal pals of mine the other day, anytime that I would see something that I thought I had to have, or wished that someone...

DIY “Hot Chocolate” Gift

This post was sponsored by Regions Bank. All opinions are my own. I can't thank Regions Bank enough for sponsoring my little DIY Hot Chocolate Gift Idea that I'm sharing with you today, through Mom It Forward! #RegionsGreetings Every year, I seem to over-do it financially, when it comes to gift giving. Why? Why in the world do we do that to ourselves? This year, I've really thought about how I can still be the "gift-giver," that I want to be, without breaking the bank. DIY gift ideas are ALL OVER Pinterest. I thought, "Why can't I spend pennies, making something that would...

Holiday Baking Kit

Throughout the year, I'm always looking for ways to incorporate "acts of kindness," activities for my kiddos & I to do together. Last Spring, we made Gooey Butter Cookies, wrapped them up in adorable little boxes with a quick little gift tag, and we went about the neighborhood, delivering happiness. My boys were able to experience "giving," and got some fresh air while we were at it. ;) Holiday Baking Kit We all know that the holiday season is all about giving, and being kind to others. It's FULL of opportunity and excuses to perform acts of kindness with your littles! To get...

Breakfast Gift Box Idea

I couldn't be more excited to share this Breakfast Gift Box Idea with you today, sponsored by Gluten-Free Cheerios™. Breakfast is my FAVORITE meal of the day.

All opinions are mine alone, I pinky promise! #HealthySavings #CollectiveBias Oh whether we like it or not, Cold & Flu season is right around the corner.

Happy “Pops” Day! Father’s Day Gift Idea

I have been in a "gifting," mood all week, and although that sounds really good... it's only because I've been putting off getting TONS of gifts that I have been needing to get for a while now, and I'm finally getting around to it. With Father's Day right around the corner, I knew that I better get on the ball, since I was "gifting," anyway. :) We have a friend that has recently become a new "dad," and I wanted to get him something that I had seen on Pinterest, so when I was planning his gift, it hit me...

DIY Coffee Mug

It's simple. My mom loves coffee and Jesus. Don't get me wrong... she loves other things too... but she LUUVS her coffee and Jesus. :) When Mother's Day rolled around, I totally waited until the last minute to make her Mother's Day gift. {Ok, maybe the day after Mother's day, I finally made her gift. But don't tell her I said that.} I'm a HUGE procrastinator with some things. I have no idea why, but I tend to think I have more time than anyone else to get something done. Anyhoo...
