    DIY Chocolate Egg Kit

    Okay, forget what I said about non-chocolate Easter basket stuffers and allow me to introduce you to these DIY chocolate eggs. This kit from Uncommon Goods provides all the ingredients to make twelve hollow, dark-chocolate eggs that can be filled with Wiley Wallaby Fruitrageous Drops (or candy of your choice). Once the molds set, you and your children can decorate them with white chocolate and sanding sugar. Honestly, this chocolate egg kit is like Easter’s answer to making gingerbread houses.

    Kinetic Sand Easter Eggs

    Every Easter, I try to find a few non-chocolate Easter basket stuffers. It’s not like I’m filling their Easter baskets with celery, but if I can sneak a creative craft in along with some sweets, that’s a win. This year, I discovered these pre-filled Easter eggs with colorful kinetic sand in them. Kinetic sand is fun to squish and mix colors together and because it sticks together, there’s no mess.

And, I think this 70-piece mini puzzle is the cutest way to tell someone they’re in your thoughts. Piecework Puzzles also makes mini puzzles to say Happy Birthday and I Love You. A great gift or stocking stuffer!

    Schumacher Wrapping Paper + Frayed Edge Velvet Ribbon

    Why should we only wrap our home in the beauty that is a Schumacher print when I can wrap every single present under the tree in their gorgeous wrapping paper? To top these designs off, I ordered a bunch of different ribbons like this chiffon classic and these velvet beauties. Now, I just have to summon the strength not to scream when the girls tear through the wrapping paper to open their gifts Christmas morning. (Just kidding, they’re getting the cheap stuff. I’m saving the Schumacher for people who can tie their own shoes.)

    Velvet Ribbon For Thanksgiving

    This velvet ribbon is one of my favorite tablescape tricks because it’s a very inexpensive way to make your table more festive (or any area of your home). It’s available in ten different colors, but I love the chocolate brown ribbon for Thanksgiving. Tie it in a bow around napkins (no fancy napkin rings necessary!), vases, or topiaries, and all of a sudden you have added rich texture to your table without doing much. Plus, the remaining ribbon can be tied into other holiday décor or gift wrapping.

    T.J. Maxx Holiday Finds

    Mom brain is real and I genuinely always forget that TJ Maxx is online now. Thankfully I recently remembered and subsequently snagged SO many great items for the holidays: I got this advent counter nutcracker because the girls are obsessed with The Nutcracker. Also, remember how I always complain that a classic gold star tree topper is so hard to find? Well T.J. Maxx answered my prayers with this metal option. And, don’t sleep on their handbag section — T.J. Maxx carries designer styles like this tote from Longchamp (which is making a major resurgence), heavily discounted.
