Give the Gift of Relaxation

There’s nothing that says “last-minute” about our selection of Lavender Rosemary products. Build a custom gift basket and fill it with our cleansing Lavender Rosemary Foaming Hand Soap and Lavender Rosemary Bath Soap Bar. These popular soaps nourish skin with aloe vera and soothing shea butter. Bundle them with Lavender Rosemary Dish Soap to transform an ordinary chore into a delightful and calming experience. Our Lavender Rosemary Lotion replenishes skin with aloe and shea butter for that perfect finishing touch. This soothing trio can be accented with a beautiful Lavender Rosemary Hand Soap and Napkin Set or Lavender Rosemary Drawer Liners.

Give Thoughtfully

Our line of Naiad vegan soaps and scrubs is perfect for any eco-conscious friend or family member. We just love the soothing French Lavender Whipped Soap Sugar Scrub. This fluffy and soothing whipped scrub sluffs off dead skin and delivers vital nutrients. It’s cruelty and paraben-free! It’s also available in Beach House if you’re dreaming of warmer weather and fresh beach scents.

Pair the whipped sugar scrubs with vegan bar soap, available in Connecticut Beach House – a fresh, clean scent – or calming French Lavender.

Our Emmeline Hummingbird Pajamas are the perfect gift for your mother or mother-in-law, best friend, or anyone who needs a cozy night’s rest. Made from 100% cotton, these cute pajamas are comfy enough to wear all day. We wont’ judge! Our Sweet Dreams Pillowcase is a thoughtful companion gift to our pajamas. For a bit of inspiration, give our Inhale the Future Pillowcase, Be Brave Pillow, or Let Her Journey Begin Sign in your custom gift set.

A fabulous woman only becomes more fabulous with the right accessories. For the strong, confident women in your life, we recommend our “She’s Got This” Bracelet.

Trimming a Tree for Every Room

If you’re feeling extra holly jolly now that it’s December and just love decorating, think about this: more than one Christmas tree. That’s right. Who says you can’t have more fun and more merriment? We love putting up multiple Christmas trees each year to cater to each room’s aesthetic. 

The Shabby Chic Tree

Add a festive touch to a shabby chic room by complementing existing décor. If your room is decorated with beautiful and feminine accessories,opt for a tree that just screams holiday chic. Our bedroom is the place where we bring out all the pink! 

Start with an all-white synthetic tree for an antique base, or go for a traditional evergreen. If it’s not pre-lit, we recommend wrapping white or pink lights all around! Now it’s time for ribbon. Use burlap, lace or pastel tones for a chic touch or even satin ribbon looks beautiful! Then decorate with pretty ornaments, like our  Snowflake Ornament and our Heart Ornament. Pair it with neutral hues throughout the room to create a winter wonderland! We love bottlebrush trees and a bowl filled with vintage ornaments. 

The Naturalist Tree

Decorate with natural elements – pinecones, branches, holly, leaves and more beautiful décor you can obtain for free. This naturalist aesthetic pairs great with rustic décor. Decorate with acorns and greenery, or add a bit of color and fun with burlap ribbon, handmade ornaments and personal mementos. We love to add some vintage style props to our tree like this sweet vintage truck filled with glittered pinecones. 

Light it up with vibrant gold lights for a calming charm that goes great with that fresh Christmas tree smell. If you opt for a synthetic tree, get that great smell with our Christmas Joy Candle, made from 100% renewable soy wax.

The Traditional Spin

If you’re a green-and-red type of Christmas decorator, go for a classic beauty. Set up a grand tree to wrap in tartan ribbon. We love a rich burgundy color or an eye-catching red. Lights are up to you, but we love the ritzy feel of gold. Let them twinkle, too! Our traditional tree always goes on our front porch. We love that Adirondack Christmas look with warm plaid throws. 

A traditionally decorated tree pairs well with our Pomegranates and Bunches Wreath, which pulls in natural elements to create an eye-catching color palette of reds, greens and golds.

Additional Touches

Part of creating a beautiful Christmas tree setup is surrounding it with beautiful accessories. Get creative with tree skirts! Opt for soft fabrics, natural fibers or even plush blankets.

Then decorate your beds, chairs and couches with festive pillows. Our Merry Little Christmas Pillow is perfect for a traditional tree, and our Pere Noel has a lovely vintage charm.

How many trees will you put up this year? Let us know in the comments!

And while you are doing all the decorating make sure you are in our flannel Vintage Santa Pajamas! 

Preparing For Guests

Temperatures are dropping and the holidays are quickly approaching. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Preparing for out-of-town guests can be a wonderful experience, too. Pamper your guests and offer them the holiday stay of a lifetime. You truly can be the “hostess with the mostest” if you follow these simple tips for preparing your guest room.

Designate a Quiet Space

The holidays are a magical time of the year, but they can also be stressful. A major key to setting up the perfect guest space is to allow privacy and quiet. It’s hard to be away from home, no matter how much fun you’re having. Set aside a room for guests that’s farther away from most of the traffic and noise in your home.

If possible, designate a guest bath for additional privacy. Guests will appreciate this oasis while they stay — a place where they can joyfully relax and decompress after a stimulating day.

Style for Comfort

Part of creating a relaxing space is incorporating cozy elements. When designing your guest room, avoid any color or pattern that is too busy or harsh. Think about what you’d want to find in your own bedroom after a long day — cool, relaxing blues, calming grays, or perhaps soft neutrals.

Incorporate layers of texture with cozy throws, like our Sven Throw. Add variation with elegant ruffled pillowcases, like the Gabriella pillowcase from Bella Notte Linens. For bedding, incorporate a variety of layers that allow guests to adjust to hot or cold temperatures. The play of textures will allow you to stretch a calmer color palette further, adding interest without overwhelming the senses.

You can even pamper your guests to encourage a more resort-type ambience. Our fluffy, cozy Pine Cone Hill Signature Towels are luxurious and available in soft neutrals and cool, calming hues. Hang a clean, fluffy robe in the bathroom, and stock your cabinets with spa products like specialty soaps, bath salts, foot scrubs and quality towels for ultimate relaxation.

Add Personal Touches

To make the guest room fit well with your home, add a few personal touches for your guests to appreciate. Whether you decide to add a few family photos or a decorative guestbook, your guests will love these thoughtful additions. Display fresh flowers in vases on our Reclaimed Wood Serving Tray for a fun welcome station.

                                                                                                            

Holiday scented candles are perfect for a festive ambience. Search for common scents and avoid anything too overpowering or heavily floral. A calming leaves, cinnamon, pine or even pumpkin scent could work wonders for your guest room. One of our favorites is Roland Pine. Play with aromatherapy and essential oils, too. Lavender and eucalyptus both encourage relaxation. We recommend a bit of French elegance with Trapp No. 25 Lavender de Provence.

Fill the Space with Fun

Welcome your guests with a basket full of anything they may have forgotten. Travel-size shampoos, soaps, toothbrushes, floss, nail files, toothpaste and more essential items are great ideas. Then have some fun! Perhaps you want to leave chocolates on the pillows, or a bowl of festive holiday candy on the desk.

The key to creating a breathtaking guest room is incorporating every need. If your guests have kids, consider displaying some fun holiday movies to watch. Place a few of our striped floor poufs around the TV for a fun family activity. You can even set out some microwave popcorn or theater-style treats.

If your guests have pets, display some dog or cat treats, waste cleanup bags, small toys and perhaps even a pet bed. Target your audience well, and your guests will rave about their stay long after it’s over!
