Edible Gifts // Homemade Eggnog

homemade eggnog / a thousand threads
Happy snowy Tuesday, everyone! It sounds like the weather is pretty frightful just about everywhere this week… and if you’re stuck inside like me, I’m gonna take a wild guess and say that you’re probably looking for something that looks a little bit like this. Creamy, comforting, filled with bourbon…

Bonus? This was my first time with homemade eggnog, and it was so much easier than expected.

Christmas tree, Christmas tree. Where can you be?

our christmas tree / a thousand threadsour christmas tree / a thousand threads
On Saturday we packed up the car and drove to the Christmas tree farm to hunt for a tree — hands down my favorite Christmas activity, since as a kid we always hit a lot.

(Clearly. Can you feel the excitement up there?)

And even though we were just a tiny bit early for the snow (now the ground is covered!) I think we might’ve just found our best tree yet…

Okay really you guys… I don’t even want to tell you about this one. Do you know how much my home office could use a $500 gift card to Poppin? What?! Amazing.

24 Merry Days // Giveaway Day Seven

Are you all as obsessed with West Elm as I am? Especially everything they’ve been up to lately?

Their martini side table is crazy classic and I can think of about five places in my house where I could use it — I’m sure you can too. So run on over to Paper & Stitch today for this exciting giveaway!

Peppermint Pistachio Bark

The holidays are here, and to me that means cookies and candy. (Okay every occasion means cookies and candy… but did you see that it was National Cookie Day yesterday?)

So yesterday I shared a post on Coco/Mingo about just that, with a little recipe to add to your holiday swap (do you do a cookie swap?) or, if you like, just eat up all by yourself.

… you already know that’s what we did. This season is dangerous.

Check the post out here, along with all of the gorgeousness that is Jessica’s blog.

And thank you thank you thank you to everyone for entering yesterday, and for all of your kind words. I’m so excited that I was able to introduce a few of you to a great new brand, and I love hearing all about your plans for the photo books!

If you didn’t have a chance to enter, don’t worry. All of our 24 Merry Days Giveaways last for a whole week. (So that means right now you can still enter days 1-5… just sayin’.)

24 Merry Days // Giveaway Day Five

We’ve talked about my house, right? How it’s kind of stuck in this constant state of decorating disrepair?

So let me tell you, today’s giveaway speaks straight to me — what I wouldn’t give to have a whole gallery wall of prints in one fell swoop.

In fact you might want to hurry over to Making it Lovely now, before I find a way to fix day five (okay or all of the days… are you loving this so far?!)

Their photo prints, books, wooden calendars, and holiday cards would all make the perfect gifts this holiday season. Not to mention these gorgeous wooden boxes that you can create for just $95 (did I mention that their prices are insanely reasonable? $100 will go a long way).

Oh hey, and by the way, all of their products are recycled and made of insanely lush, beautiful paper, the likes of which you definitely won’t find anywhere else. Sold yet? I was.

It’s easy to enter, just follow the instructions in the box below. We’re using Rafflecopter, so you have 20 chances to win!

Thank you to Artifact Uprising for making this giveaway possible!! And, of course, to Audrey — who really made this whole thing possible with her ninja-awesome organizational skills, guiding us all through 24 Merry Days every step of the way.

Check back tomorrow for something special from Nicole at Making it Lovely! And keep up with all of our giveaways at the 24 Merry Days site here.

Unfortunately this giveaway is open to readers in the US only (boo… but be sure to check back at the 24 Merry Days site for the rest of our prizes, because some of them are open to everyone, and they’re coming up soon!).
