I was visiting my brother and sister-in-law and fell in love with this Lola blanket they had! It is unreal and was an immediate add to my wishlist this year! They are pricey but I have never felt a blanket like this in my entire life, it is so lux, cozy and it stretches so it feels like a big hug.

I am obsessed with this brand of olive oil. They are the first squeezable bottle on the market and the quality is so fresh, 100% EVOO which is evident in how good it tastes. It comes in a "sizzle" and "drizzle" version, the "sizzle" is meant to be used when cooking with heat and the "drizzle" is meant to be used in things like salad dressings, never heated. They also sell refills of them in cans.

A personalized ornament makes a really special gift for a couple who is newly engaged, married or even buys their first home. Some of my favorite ornaments are these custom ones we received as a gift for our wedding! You can even get one made with part of an invite curled up inside.

This brand has starter kits, refills and single options to purchase but most loved is their Cleaning Essentials Kit in Glass: All Purpose Cleaner and Bathroom Cleaner kit was the way to go. This is a brand where you mix the concentrate with water to get the desired solutions, and that can be used on every surface (countertops, stains, bathrooms, laundry, floors, pets and more). Branch Basics stands behind that this solution will replace every cleaner you have in your home, with its effective concentrate and streak free application, you won’t need anything else!
