Huge thank you to Le Grand Courtage for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.
Go nuts with your Easter egg hunt, but search no further for the perfect adult Easter basket! The care packages you got from the Easter bunny were a blast when you were a kid, and Easter baskets can still be just as fun for the grown-ups as party favors, hostess gifts or to send to friends and family.
Our Easter basket this year is a date night in a basket for the twenty- or thirty-something hostess, featuring a beautiful bottle of Le Grand Courtage rosé brut! Not only is it the perfect way to either kick off or cap a spring evening in, but the gorgeous pink color and elegant labeling make it a festive centerpiece for our Easter basket! I opted for the full bottle for this basket, but they also have adorable minis that make the perfect addition to any basket! And we can’t enjoy this sparkly number without a classy and festive glass, so we included two champagne flutes for you and your loved one.

Summer party season is officially here! Between all of the pool parties, backyard gatherings, and Bachelorette watching parties (oh yeah – we turn my favorite 2 hours of every Monday into a weekly dinner party), I am always looking for different hostess gifts to bring with me (or give to my guests), and maybe even more importantly, new ways to wrap and present them!
Candles and wine bottles are often overdone, but one gift that that is always appreciated is one that is homemade. Plus for the giver, it’s usually easy to throw together last minute and can accommodate any budget!
My personal favorite and go-to homemade gift comes in the form of a mason jar with a customized gift tag.
We all have a million mason jars laying around (and if you don’t, you can get a dozen at your local grocery store for under $15 or here) and you can easily fill it with your favorite homemade salsa for a fiesta party, homemade cookie or pie ingredients for an interactive baking extravaganza later on, or even with something as easy as Swedish Fish for a cute kids pool party! It can be as simple or elaborate as you want, but what matters most is how you wrap and display it!
We all know presentation is key to making a simple gift look like you’ve been thinking about it for weeks or even just to add a customized flair to it! So to help us all out, my friend Steph at JOY Creative Shop, has created the most adorable gift tags that are perfect to add to all your homemade gifts!
The Christmas countdown is on! All of our focus is on the final details of pulling together the perfect Christmas celebration – wrapping those final gifts, touching up the Christmas tree, and setting the table for your Christmas feast.
But don’t forget! New Year’s Eve is just around the corner as well, and we need to find the perfect gift for the hostess of your upcoming NYE party!
You’re in luck and we’ve done all the heavy lifting for you and found the absolute PERFECT hostess gift – Le Grand Courtage Blanc de Blancs Brut Bedazzled Bottle!

If you read our post about how to prepare your home for guests, you know how important it is to make sure your guests feel right at home by welcoming them with some of their favorite treats and creating a warm and comfortable space for them.
Of course, one of the most important aspects of hosting overnight guests is the guest bedroom and preparing their own little oasis, but not to be overlooked, is the guest bathroom!
When I stay at a hotel, one of the main aspects that I judge the entire hotel on is the style and feel of the bathroom. If it’s not clean and crisp, I assume the entire hotel is not. But if it has a luxurious and custom feel, my reviews of the hotel are glowing. Same goes for the home. Obviously, no one thinks your home is a hotel, but why not class it up and give it a luxurious and custom feel?!
I’ve gathered some of my favorite stylish bathroom decor and products to give your guest bathroom that extra oomph that will have your guests seeing hearts (without the large price tag of a remodel)! Enjoy and happy hosting!
