I know we’ve all been saying it, but I truly can’t believe it’s holiday time! This year flew. Here we are and Hanukkah is almost over and Christmas is upon us. Then we’re going to be off into 2018. Ah!

Julie here today, and when it comes to gift giving, my go to items include candles and coffee table books, so I was thrilled to be able to put together today’s gift guide, which is all about gifts for the home.

Below you’ll find gifts that are perfect for the home. Would love to hear what’s on your list in the comments below! And, as always, you can shop each of these items by clicking on their links below the collage. Happy shopping!
