Sweet Grass Farm Farmhouse Greenery Home & Body Care Collection $6.95-$29.95 Since we have a fake fir, I cannot get enough of this fresh spruce scent, so different from the sickly sweet synthetic smells sold all over the suburban malls. I swear that the candle smells exactly like a newly cut Christmas tree and made of soy, it lasts much longer than the old gingerbread-mincemeat pie candle thing from the Hallmark store. The dish soap is all natural and completely eliminated the smell of salmon from my kitchen after cooking - quite a feat. The liquid soap and lotion set makes for a gift any dinner party host will be stoked to receive.
GIVEAWAYKarafe: The Board Game for Wine Enthusiasts $45.99My husband and I reviewed this game with our wine expert brother and sister in law and had a fabulous time. This is the perfect, easy party plan geared around wine tasting. It's a lot like Monopoly, with each player a vintner trying to best the others through acquiring capital, acres, harvesting, bottling. The questions are fun and include tasting options too. (Wine not included.) Wine can be intimidating, but we had fun learning more the grapes, wines and industry in a creative, inclusive atmosphere. A great gift for the board game and wine lover.
One lucky commenter will win their own brand new Karafe board game!

See's Candy 2 lb. box $30 As a transplanted Californian there is one holiday food stuff at the top of my covet list: See's Candy. The famous San Francisco company has been making the best American boxed chocolates for almost 90 years. There are no See's shops on the East Coast, to my dismay. Maybe you'll find a cute kiosk at your local mall around the holidays, but for candy this dandy to click-er is quicker.

Sure to cheer up the giftee when the February blahs hit.
