<\/span><\/span>Hi there! Hope you are doing well. Are you like me and getting really busy with the holiday frenzy? <\/span><\/span><\/span> Ready for another collection of fabulous holiday gift ideas from my super chic blogging friends? Well here’s another superb roundup of awesome gift ideas. I have to say I have gotten so many wonderful ideas. For the first time in years, I am feeling my stress 0′ meter go down…..not up! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s face it…the holidays are plenty stressful enough without the added pressure of gift giving pressure. I love all these ideas, so many unique ones, and something for everyone. Thank you ladies for your fabulous ideas! So let’s get started, ladies take it away………..<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 Holiday Gift Ideas from French Essence?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Choosing gifts is such a pleasure? thinking of ideas, sourcing them and then<\/span><\/span>
finding that perfect match. That is the best part? knowing that your gift is going<\/span><\/span>
to please your special person. I love watching the un-wrapping? the guessing as<\/span><\/span>
the parcel is prodded and poked? It?s all part of the art of giving?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

I don?t believe that some are ?impossible? to buy for or that others ?have<\/span><\/span>
everything?? the art of giving means not being defeated, sometimes thinking<\/span><\/span>
outside of the box or oftentimes just keeping it simple.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span>When I think of a special gift, I think about what I would love to receive, an
indulgence that I might not buy for myself? something that would make me
smile and make me feel spoilt? a Cire Trudon candle is perfect. My preferred
scent is Odalisque? a blend of orange blossom, lemon and vanilla. I like a gift to
be long lasting and to evoke memories? this is a scent that does just that.
My other most loved gifts are books? nothing makes me happier? and I always
want to give as I would like to receive?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>             ?The Best of Flair? is an exquisite piece and one that is the perfect addition to<\/span><\/span><\/span>
              any library? it is beautifully illustrated and has many of the features that made<\/span><\/span><\/span>
              the 1950?s magazines of the same name so popular. This is a collector?s item, an<\/span><\/span><\/span>
              intriguing and fascinating book that enchants on every page.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here are our two favorite gift items this holiday season from our e-commerce site www.DianeJamesHome.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
  Our mother raised us with a tradition of never arriving empty-handed to holiday parties and that?s one of the reasons why we added a range of beautiful botanically inspired gifts to our collection of faux florals on Diane James Home.  It was hard to pick two of our favorite holiday hostess gifts but given that we?ve just introduced our new Winter scent candle made by Seda France, we had to include it!  And why not pair it with a lovely set of French-milled soaps, presented in a festive red box ready for gift giving (or re-gifting, if need be.)  Both gifts are sure to please!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Hi Tina,<\/span> Here are a couple of gift ideas that I will be giving this Christmas…<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

Personalized Note Cards<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
 These are only $18.95 for two pads of 100 sheets.  So thoughtful with the name or monogram personalization…and you can  create the look from lots<\/i> of images. Here are some logos that I have used for friends (and even for myself).<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
 This Heart Key Chain<\/a> would be perfect to give my girlfriends so they will know I care about them every time they use it.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
 Thanks, Tina!<\/span><\/div>\n

My first gift choice this holiday season is this<\/i> navy pom pom throw from Serena and Lily<\/a>. I recently partnered with Serena and Lily<\/a> and received this gorgeous substantial throw from them and all I can say is everyone needs one! I am looking forward to sitting by a  fireplace wrapped up in this ultra cozy high designer throw while sipping a delicious latte. Serena and Lily states on their website…that this throw is an understated design element. I totally agree!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My second gift choice this holiday season is that<\/i> adorable iPad Mini<\/a>. This great little device is every inch the iPad has everything that you love about it! Including a beautiful screen, fast fluid performance, and thousands of amazing apps to enjoy. You can choose to have cellular service on it and different capacities. The best part is that it can fit in one hand!<\/p>\n

I love to give themed gifts. For some reason it helps me narrow down my choices. In the past I have chosen a monogrammed theme for gifts.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span>I try to get the beautiful towels that are on Neiman Marcus?s pink sale every year?.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
You will get two sets of three pieces for $58, this is a real bargain. Plus, you can have them monogrammed. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I have personally purchased these towels as gifts, and for my own personal use. Many of my friends have done the same!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
If you like the option of a colored towel, and a colored monogram these are the towels for you. Only $12 for a bath towel.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
 I usually purchase the white with a sand monogram for myself, but have purchased other colors for gifts.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Gift #2<\/b><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The next theme gift I love to give is dinner related! I love to purchase nice plain white serving pieces from Crate and Barrel just go HERE!??.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
