Sprinkle a little Russian dressing on your tree this year with some sweet  matryoshka doll ornaments. You can even hide a tiny treat inside. Adorable!

Have yourself a classy Christmas this year with these minimalist  Santa ornaments.

Thanksgiving weekend is shopapalooza and everyone is having killer sales. I’m going to take the opportunity to stock up on stocking stuffers.

Can someone tell me why pickle ornaments are a thing? My grandparents had one, my parents had one, and there are a zillion of them online. Browsing Christmas ornaments, I find myself contemplating buying one, and I haven’t the foggiest idea why. I don’t even like pickles.

My grandmother had a tradition of making sock monkeys for each of her grandchildren when we were babies. I named mine “Monk the Monk” and he’s been a constant presence in every home I’ve ever lived in. Even though sock monkeys have become ubiquitous in recent years, I still find them utterly charming. To me, nothing says “comfort and joy” like this set of handmade alpaca ornaments. Merry Christmas, Monk!
