Hi there! Today I thought I would do something a little different than my usual. I thought I would share a few favorite little gifts I received from the holidays. I did this a few years back and people seemed to enjoy it. I know I always love to see what people get and are loving. First up…Amazing Grace Whipped Body Crème. My mom gave me this and it is amazing! I’ve been wearing Amazing Grace perfume for years and this has the same beautiful scent. It’s thick and creamy and perfection.
Next is this “knock my socks off” beautiful Mud Pie butter dish. I bet you’d never guess that I LOVE butter dishes, ha! I have a few pretty ones that I use, but this one with it’s delicious glass knob just makes my heart go pitter patter💗This was another thoughtful gift from my mom:)
Ok, this next little number never leaves my purse. My sweet friend, Wida, gave me some of this NYX Butter Gloss a while ago and I used it all up. My sweet daughter surprised me with a new one for Christmas. The color I have is Crème Brûlée. It’s the perfect “go with everything” shade with a little bit of shine and the price can’t be beat. There are many other colors that I’d love to try someday, too.
So you probably didn’t know that I love butter dishes and lip glosses, but I bet you DID know that I love chocolate, right? I don’t just love chocolate. I LOVVVVE chocolate, but not just any chocolate. Mama likes dark chocolate. I’ve never been a big caramel type of gal, but this pretty little box had an assortment and I tried the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel and then I died and went to heaven. Only one problem. There were only three of those in the box. Man, oh man, oh man!
Next up, another thing that I love. I guess you could say that I love a lot of things. Is that good or bad? I love fun socks. Look at these pretty socks from the Loft with fun patterns & pretty colors. I especially love the ones on top with the skiers.
This next gift was a really special surprise from one of my design teams. Isn’t this jewelry box so pretty with my name etched into it? I would have never bought something like this for myself and everytime I look at it I just smile and am touched by the thoughtfulness of others.
Have I lost you yet? Are you enjoying this or wishing I would just shut up and share a card with you:) Ok, the last gift I have to share with you is this amazing print given to me by another one of my design teams. Yes, card makers really are the best of the best. This gorgeous print is by one of my new favorite artists, Helen Dardik. I absolutely love her effortless, colorful and truly unique style. If you don’t already, you should check out her feed on Instagram. Watching her paint is such a treat.
Now onto the good stuff:)
I have a couple of winners to announce.
The winner from my Altenew for a Year in Review blog hop is Aimee LaCroix-Slocum.
The winner from my Seasons Givings blog hop is Lisa Norstrom.
Since we’re on the topic of giveaways….how about another?
Leave me a comment telling me which gift that I shared today that YOU would love to receive. I am dying to hear. I’ll pick a winner or maybe a few to receive a very special prize💗
Thanks so much for stopping by!

January 6, 2018 at 7:24 amThanks so much for sharing your gifts. I love seeing what others give and get for Christmas. All of the gifts are great! I would love to get any of them, but I especially love the Amazing Grace Body Creme. My sister introduced me to Amazing Grace perfume last year and I love that scent! I use NYX eye liner…I’m going to try the Butter Gloss lip gloss in creme brulee. Thanks for the tip. Love your blog! Enjoy your day.

January 6, 2018 at 7:30 amDark Chocolate is my favorite and it loves me back – stays with me forever! (my legs, my arms, my torso). Your butter dish is amazing! What do you keep inside? Dark chocolates?
Marcia K Designs
January 6, 2018 at 7:30 amHappy New Year!! What a fun collection of gifts! I love those Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels. . . .love them and also got some under my Christmas tree. I’m following Helen. So excited for the vibrant, colorful motivation!!
Jackie Lic
January 6, 2018 at 7:36 amLove amazing grace too. I’ve been eyeing that whipped butter.
Betsy Davis
January 6, 2018 at 7:37 amEverything is so nice! I don’t know what Amazing Grace smells like, but I love the name. That butter dish is gorgeous!! Basically you can’t go wrong with Ghirardelli either. So hard to pick a fav. I’ll have to check out Helen Dardik. That print is awesome and unique.
Fun post!
Kelly Schirmer
January 6, 2018 at 7:37 amOh such fun gifts! I am a lover of all things Loft, so those ski socks caught my eye! But that butter dish, is so lovely, and the llama print, wow! PS…I jumped on the llama train after your Pink Fresh llama card, and had so much fun stamping with that set at Christmas. Found llama gifts at Pier One, and even some holiday cactus paper at Target, hee!

January 6, 2018 at 7:38 amI love this fun post…everything is so wonderful!
I’m a fan of Helen Dardik’s work and that Llama print = SWEET!
Connie
January 6, 2018 at 7:45 amWhat a fun post! I always love to see what others receive and enjoy. I really can’t decide between the body cream and lip gloss. Looks like I may have to go shopping to compare and decide.
Maria
January 6, 2018 at 7:45 amWonderful gifts, Laura! Love them all, it my heart would go towards the body cream with the awesome message! Thank you for sharing for they all make for great gift ideas!
Martha R
January 6, 2018 at 7:50 amLovely gifts, Laura. The next time I’m in Ulta I’m going to try the lip gloss. This was a fun idea to share your gifts.
Donna Rinckel
January 6, 2018 at 7:51 amHmmm, let me think a bit. It would be a toss up for me between the lip gloss and the chocolate I think. You got some awesome gifts, Laura. Well, since I over ate at Christmas festivities I better go with the lip gloss. Happy New Year!
Kimberly Cole
January 6, 2018 at 7:53 amI love those socks

January 6, 2018 at 7:56 amAll of these gifts are lovely and thank you for sharing! The NYX butter gloss is something I’m definitely going to have to try.
LUCIE ASPIROT
January 6, 2018 at 7:58 amHello Laura. Well Santa’s been generous with you, that means that you have been a very very good girl all year !!
Seriously, I love everything, but that butter dish is just gorgeous. This spring, I will be going through a full revonation of my kitchen and other rooms of the house, so I’ll be in the lookout of a few special pieces.
It’s always fun to read you and watch your videos. Please, do not stop! I wish you, and your family, all the best for 2018.

January 6, 2018 at 7:59 amThis was a fun post. I’ve reached the point where I really don’t want more things in my life (except craft supplies), so I like the practical nature of some of these gifts. Because of the deep freeze my neck of the woods is in, I’m drawn to the Amazing Grace body creme. Seems luxurious and has such a sweet sentiment on the box. Perfect for you! And I love the print, so I’m headed over to Instagram to check out her artwork. Thanks so much for your gift to us, the gift of your creativity and your sparkling personality that shines through on every video. Great inspiration.
Marcia Scantlin
January 6, 2018 at 8:02 amWhile I do love my dark chocolate, I want to try the Amazing Grace.
vicki dutcher
January 6, 2018 at 8:09 amFun gift. That Helen Dardil print (and her blog) is awesome thanks for the insight.
Leslie559
January 6, 2018 at 8:10 amHappy New Year, Laura. I’m a sucker for socks, too. I love all the fun prints you can get. Your print from Helen Dardik is spot on for you. Maybe not in rainbow ‘order’ but definitely every color the rainbow could hold. Beautiful and Fun!
Lynn
January 6, 2018 at 8:12 amThe sox and card print are my favorite.
Stefanie
January 6, 2018 at 8:18 amI too have used Amazing Grace creams. Wonderful stuff. I like a lot of Philosophy’s products. You must try their shower gels. I’m currently using Vanilla Fig. Just yummy and very subtle. Thanks for the heads up on the lip gloss. I will give that a try.
So glad you had a great Christmas.
Sue LD
January 6, 2018 at 8:19 amI like the butter dish and the chocolate!
Sonja
January 6, 2018 at 8:20 amOk…i can’t just pick one. Love the socks & chocolate! The lip gloss looks like something I need to try…great price!
The Crafty Den
January 6, 2018 at 8:20 amWow what beautiful gifts; you were very lucky this year! I love them all but the personalised jewellery box is my fave. Happy New Year Laura x x

Happy new year!!
Anonymous
January 6, 2018 at 8:31 amI would try the butter gloss. I don’t normally wear any lipsticks, but this looks interesting. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.
FeM
January 6, 2018 at 8:32 amI had tried that same chocolate and fell in love with it too (I’m glad my husband doesn’t care for it). Those socks look so comfy and the colors on the print is so vibrant. Thanks for sharing your favorite gifts. Happy 2018!!!
Patricia F.
January 6, 2018 at 8:33 amYou received such wonderful gifts! They are all so cool, but I especially love the colorful print! It’s gorgeous with all those beautiful bright colors! Happy New Year!

January 6, 2018 at 8:33 amGoodness, Laura! What a nice group of gifts. I love creams & lotions, butter dishes and chocolate too. I lived in Belgium for 2 years. My children and I got to take a class from a Chocolatier! You can see photos here if you’d like – https://wp.me/pSFsY-1lU. (Feel free to delete this is you don’t want the link here. 🙂 ) We’re a military family – retired now.) Love great socks too. I bought cozy and/or pretty socks for all 4 of my children and my mother for Christmas.That jewelry box is so pretty! I am going to follow Helen on Instagram. Thanks for sharing the link to her Instagram feed. I think that one of my daughters and I saw that butter dish (or one very similar with a pretty knob on the top) in a local shop named “Possibilities.” Anyhow, I really like the butter dish a lot. Pretty sure that I don’t NEED another one, but it is so pretty! Happy New year! I’m a big fan of your work and learned so much taking your Craftsy class a few years ago. You are a blessing and an encouragement to me.
June K
January 6, 2018 at 8:34 amI had no idea about some of your loves but your butter dish love is an unique one. That butter dish you got is gorgeous. I think that is my favorite.
Jeanne Beam
January 6, 2018 at 8:37 amI think I love all your gifts. I will pick the Amazing Grace body creme. It sounds heavenly. Thanks for sharing…
Sheri D
January 6, 2018 at 8:39 amI am torn between the butter dish that I absolutely LOVE and the Amazing Grace. Ok, the butter dish, it just makes me swoon. How pretty is that? I have never seen such pretty butter dishes. I am going on the hunt now. Thanks for sharing! You had a wonderful Christmas. May 2018 be your best ever!
Lindar C
January 6, 2018 at 8:42 amLovely gifts, the print is amazing. I’m a trinket box girl myself, I have too many already! Congratulations to the winners!
craftygal1
January 6, 2018 at 8:43 amI have to say Laura that I enjoy seeing some of the thoughtful gifts you received! It is fun to see. I am definitely going to check out the Amazing Grace whipped body creme, but my favorite thing that you have shared is of course the beautiful print from Helen Dardik. Thanks for sharing and I am looking forward to seeing everything you create this New Year!
Betty
January 6, 2018 at 8:43 ami’ll take the chocolate – especially the sea salt ones!!! thanks for sharing these fun gifts – they’re all so thoughtful – happy 2018, Laura!
Mirella Rogan
January 6, 2018 at 8:44 amAll of the gifts you received are so thoughtful, as they appear to be really hitting the right “spots” for you – which is amazing! 🙂 I would definitely want some of that chocolate (dark chocolate is my love, too!), but I doubt you’d share much of it 😉 The butter dish looks stunning, too, but I wouldn’t have much use for it in my house – I just love the way it looks!
Lonnie
January 6, 2018 at 8:49 amI love your new butter dish and would love to see more of your collection. Don’t worry about having so many things you love. It makes you a very positive person. Thank you for sharing your talents. I look forward to many more in 2018.
Phyllis Freese
January 6, 2018 at 8:54 amYou received some great gifts, but my most favorite is the beautiful jewelry box.
Elaine Ryan
January 6, 2018 at 8:54 amMaking cute little pouches for Ghirardelli chocolates last Christmas I too hadn’t tasted them, but when I took that first bite of the dark chocolate salted caramel I was in chocolate heaven, that dark chocolate with a hint of salt and oozing caramel…..Oh My! That’s the gift I would love.
Sue Bunn
January 6, 2018 at 8:59 amHappy New Year Laura. My favourite is definitely the print – so colourful and quirky and such a lovely sentiment!
Heidi Rees
January 6, 2018 at 8:59 amOh I absolutely LOVE Ghiradelli chocolates!!!! Caramel is my FAV!!!
Jeanne Boardman
January 6, 2018 at 9:00 amWhat great gifts! Love me some Amazing Grace but my fav has to be that art print! So so pretty!
KarenHTK
January 6, 2018 at 9:02 amThey ARE ALL Good! Hard to choose just one! Love the personalized jewelry box, Grace cream, NYX Butter Gloss, Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel…
Lori Osborne
January 6, 2018 at 9:08 amI love the cute socks! Got a couple pair myself😀
Miriam Prantner
January 6, 2018 at 9:11 amThat butter dish is so pretty! I love it, and the chocolate…apparently I am a butter and chocolate kind of girl! You got such fun goodies for Christmas!
joyce m
January 6, 2018 at 9:14 amAll the gifts you got were amazing! My favorite would have to be that butter dish with the chocolate not far behind.
mypapercraftworld
January 6, 2018 at 9:15 amThat was so much fun, Laura … thank you! I was so taken with that first gift … it’s so gorgeous and girlie … I love the philosphy quote … and I’m imagining that the scent is just beautiful! However … you showed us chocolate … oh my, you make it sound heavenly! I would have loved to have received any of these gifts! Happy New Year … Bonne Année 2018! Anita 🙂
Jackie
January 6, 2018 at 9:15 amThanks for sharing this, you got some pretty cool stuff for Christmas. That body cream sounds fabulous, I Googled it for the scent and it seems delightful. With all of the dry air inside and out in the winter, my skin needs all the help it can get. I am going to check out the NYX Butter Gloss, too. I rarely wear lipstick but I love lip glosses.
Amy Cooley
January 6, 2018 at 9:17 amWe must have similar tastes! I love Philosophy (but I’m a Falling In Love gal). I got the same lotion. Also, I love dark chocolate and fun socks. I have a couple of suggestions for you. The truffles from Seattle’s Chocolates are definitely worth ordering. Have you heard of Woven Pear sock box subscriptions? Check them out on IG. You’ll be hooked. Happy New Year!
Linda Gorun
January 6, 2018 at 9:19 amAll your gifts were pretty stupendous, but I LOVE Amazing Grace. I have body spray, perfume, and perfumed cream. Yummy! Lucky you to receive such a lovely gift!
Dana M
January 6, 2018 at 9:21 amCrafty folks must have similar taste as I would love any of the fabulous gifts you received. That butter dish though, be still my heart!
F. Andre
January 6, 2018 at 9:24 amYou received some lovely gifts. I’d choose the art print, and thanks for the introduction to the artist.
Linda M.
January 6, 2018 at 9:27 amAlthough I live in Phoenix, my feet are always cold—-so I would love to receive the cozy socks. The butter dish is very nice, too. It’s so pretty and the fact that it’s from your mom makes it extra special!
Amy M
January 6, 2018 at 9:30 amI love socks ❤️ I’ve never minded getting socks as gifts especially if they’re thick,warm socks.
Robin Tharaldson
January 6, 2018 at 9:37 amYou had me at Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel!!! My absolute fav from Ghirardelli..well the Peppermint Bark is totally awesome! too!!!
Kari Villebrun
January 6, 2018 at 9:38 amIt is so hard to pick, but for myself I have a top three. I love the dark chocolate, the darker the better. The socks I also love because you can personalize them as to what the person likes and so on. Third which is my favourite of all is the print on the card of an artist you love. I would definitely keep the card and put it in a beautiful frame to keep in your studio as inspiration. How great would that be. Thanks for sharing, take care Kari
Connie Hodges
January 6, 2018 at 9:38 amAmazing Grace is my favorite fragrance! I have an Oil Scrub that I love, but have never tried the body cream. I bet it’s wonderful as I love most of their products.

January 6, 2018 at 9:42 amThe butter dish gets is my top pick. Love the glass knob on top. Looks like you had a fun Christmas, a little bit of everything! Great post . . .
Barb R.
January 6, 2018 at 9:44 amYou have very thoughtful friends and family. I love them all, but I’m a sucker for fun socks.
Cheri
January 6, 2018 at 9:51 amWow – I like all the gifts you have shown here! The NYX Butter Gloss & Amazing Grace Body Creme look wonderful – I’ve never seen them before. But I LOVE the socks! I often wear two pair of socks, along with my slippers, during winter here on the east coast….and right now it’s SUPER cold! Love watching your videos, Laura!!
Lisa A creations
January 6, 2018 at 9:58 amOut of all your gifts, I would most love to receive the NYX lip gloss. It looks awesome and I think I might have to purchase one for myself to try it out. 😉
Elayne
January 6, 2018 at 9:58 amLaura, it’s always fun to see what you’re up to, and today’s surprise was cool. Since I didn’t get any presents for Christmas, it’s fun to see what others enjoyed. Some of yours I’ve never heard of. I love fun socks, too, and at 75, I’m still crazy enough to do it. I would choose the socks!
Helen
January 6, 2018 at 10:08 amThanks for sharing these gifts! What a delight they must be for you. As for me, I will never turn down a gift of chocolate, especially dark chocolate…I share your great love! Thanks for sharing your gifts and introducing me to that delightful card at the conclusion.
Mary B.
January 6, 2018 at 10:17 amHi Laura ! I would want the Amazing Grace creme for a few silly reasons. I like the name of it and the packaging, but also because I’m getting old and all dried up :0)
Zsoka Marko
January 6, 2018 at 10:21 amWhile I love chocolate as much as you, my fave is the print! Thanks for sharing, I’ll now go check her instagram, wonderful colors and illustrations! XXX
Barbara Clark
January 6, 2018 at 10:23 amAll your gifts were wonderful. But for me, it’s a toss up between the bitter dish and socks😉❤️💕
Rebecca Hoffman
January 6, 2018 at 10:24 amI Loved all your favorites but the one that stood out to me was the description of Amazing Grace!! Probably because I fight dryer skin in the winter months here in NE Ohio!!
Joy
January 6, 2018 at 10:25 amI like the lip gloss call me crazy but I’ve always liked getting them! Craft on Laura your videos and blog posts rock!
Greta H
January 6, 2018 at 10:27 amWhat a fun post! The butter dish & print are beautiful! I love pretty socks, too–the skiers are so cute! The whipped body cream sounds wonderful & such a beautiful jar! I’m a lip gloss girl–they’re all over the house, in my purse, in the car–so I can always grab one. I already wrote down the info on yours so I can find it–that’s the gift I’d love to receive! Glad you discovered caramel & dark chocolate–that’s my first choice in a sweet! Happy New Year, Laura!
Elaine Cook
January 6, 2018 at 10:30 amI love that you shared your gifts with us! Gives me ideas for friends with birthdays coming up, which is always hard right after Christmas. I love glass door knobs and hadn’t heard of that company, so that’s my favorite.
Jenny Swords
January 6, 2018 at 10:30 amGorgeous gifts Laura. Body lotions and creams are my thing…I have a couple I always pick up in the airport duty-free.
Robin L
January 6, 2018 at 10:30 amI love the butter dish. I have an old postage stamp wetter(not sure if that’s what its called) but it is like a trough with a roller on top and you put water in it and as you roll it put your stamp on so you don’t have to lick the stamp. I think I got it at a flea market somewhere.
Cynthia Cole
January 6, 2018 at 10:33 amI’m loving that Mud Pie Butter Dish for it is so stinkin’ cute!
momrc
January 6, 2018 at 10:33 amLucky you … great gifts and ideas for another year. I am intrigued by the butter gloss. Will have to try that one.
Shirley T
January 6, 2018 at 10:35 amI just tried “hands of hope” hand cream & it cured my cracked hands instantly. Definitely will try the body cream now. Thanks for sharing your gifts…always fun to see others goodies!
soozyb2013
January 6, 2018 at 10:38 amI love the socks and lip gloss. I am always licking my lips making them chapped in the winter and I do enjoy whimsy socks. I have some with mustaches on them, underwear on them, dogs etc. My hand knit ones I make gotta be one of my favourites.
Marsha D
January 6, 2018 at 10:42 amWhat fun to see your lovely gifts. I also love butter dishes. In fact I just bought a new one -just an every day one because the last one broke. I’m going to try the amazing grace line – looking for a really good face cream. Thanks for the fun post.
Kathy Higgins
January 6, 2018 at 10:43 amI really like the style of Helen Dardik. Her colorful paintings make me smile! I am so glad that I found your blog, because your posts always make me smile! You are so talented Laura!
Mary Beth Allsop
January 6, 2018 at 10:51 amI love the butter dish!!!! Looks like you had a wonderful Christmas!
Julie
January 6, 2018 at 10:53 amI’m also a fan of fun socks—I bought myself three pairs at pre-Christmas sales, and bought special designs for friends for Jan Feb and March birthdays. I am interested in your tinted lip gloss and may give that a try. My hubby always comes up with the best gifts, but this year he included tins of my fav tea: Downton Abbey Butler’s Pantry (with Carson and Hughes on the label 😌).
Linda Carson
January 6, 2018 at 10:53 amSuch wonderful gifts! Would enjoy seeing your collection of butter dishes! The one you received is my favorite!
Lieve S
January 6, 2018 at 10:56 amWhat a great post ! You were spoiled ! Good for you !
I love the quote on the Amazing Grace Crème ! Maybe I’ll use it on a card one day; I’ll write it down.
I’m from Belgium, so I love chocolate; we have very yummy dark (and real dark) chocolate.
Those socks look so soft and warm – enjoy !
Great Helen Dardik-print. I didn’t know her work; thank you for the link.
Enjoy all your gifts ! I would go for the socks or the print.
Winter greetings from Belgium.

January 6, 2018 at 10:56 amAll the gifts were great especially since they came from the heart! My favorite is the butter dish. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!! Can’t wait to see your creativity in action this year!!!
Carolyn
January 6, 2018 at 10:59 amI love your butter dish! How special that is! I worry about knocking the knob off, but you don’t probably consider such thoughts.
nancw
January 6, 2018 at 11:01 amThanks for the intro to Helen Dardik. Chocolate is my fav!
Diana O
January 6, 2018 at 11:04 amFirst, You have GREAT taste… It is a toss up for me between the Amazing Grace Whipped Body Cream and the Chocolate! I know where to get the chocolate, but have never seen the Amazing Grace products. I will have to go looking I believe! Thank you for sharing and congratulations to your winners today… God bless you.

Sheri K
January 6, 2018 at 11:18 amWow, what lovely gifts! I’ve been using Amazing Grace shower gel and lotion for years, and have tried the whipped body cream in the past and love it! I sometimes get that for Christmas, this year I received a new scent, Amazing Grace, haven’t tried it yet. I would love to get the whipped body cream, helpful for that dry winter skin!
Susan T
January 6, 2018 at 11:21 amSo cute…My pick..the llama for the momma! The lip gloss I will definitely have to check out. You had me at It’s a good price.
Gail

January 6, 2018 at 11:32 amI adore butter dishes, too, but I think I would like to receive the Lip balm, or maybe the print. Actually, I like those socks, too, my feet are cold.
Linda
January 6, 2018 at 11:34 amI’m with you love dark chocolate.
Marian W
January 6, 2018 at 11:35 amThe butter dish is a work of art and can you ever really have too many socks.
Debby L.
January 6, 2018 at 11:37 amI am going to try the NYX butter gloss. I am addicted to Burt’s Bees so I’d like to try something new.
Kelley Robbins

January 6, 2018 at 11:47 amoooh, so many choices! But the butter dish got me! I love them, too! And you are right, the clear glass knob on top sets that one off perfectly! You had a lovely Christmas full of delightful and very thoughtful gifts. Thanks for the chance for another giveaway, Laura!
super stick chick
January 6, 2018 at 11:49 amSo many fun and pretty gifts you lucky girl! Living in the below zero state of Minnesota, I am a cozy socks kinda gal. Love all the fun. Thanks Laura!
Becca Yahrling
January 6, 2018 at 11:53 amWow, Helen really is talented! How beautiful! I think I
would love to receive a trinket box with my name etched into it.
How fun and so useful. I love a gift that really has ‘thought’ put
into it.!

January 6, 2018 at 12:18 pmGreat gifts, Laura!! Gifts are extra special when they are picked out with the real you in mind! I would be torn between that awesome looking Butter Gloss & those yummy chocolates. Guess I’d say the Gloss as if I eat more chocolate after all the Christmas goodies, I’ll have to buy bigger pants. Thanks for sharing!

Sherry Miller
January 6, 2018 at 12:25 pmOMG!!! I thought that I was alone on an island because of my LOVE for Butter Dishes!! I have a collection also and have a few that are used on a regular basis. I also have several antique ones in my china cupboard!
I’m so happy to know I am NOT alone in my love of these! Thank you!

January 6, 2018 at 12:46 pmHi Laura,
What a lot of wonderful gifts you received this Christmas. I loved them all especially the art print but because I am bed bound due to having terminal secondary breast cancer I would have to say I love the socks the best because these would keep my feet warm whilst I craft. :O)
Carolee McCaslin
January 6, 2018 at 12:47 pmSo fun to see what fun goodies you got for Christmas:) I love to fill my house with unique touches of little antique pieces so I LOVE your new butter dish!!!
Barb MacAskill
January 6, 2018 at 1:08 pmCongratulations to your lucky winners! If I had a choice from today’s gifts the NYX Butter Gloss in Creme Brûlée would win hands down. My New Year did not start the way I thought it would, found out hubby of 28 years has been cheating for months if not years, and I think the Butter Gloss would help me feel as if I have my Survivor paint on and can take anything that is thrown at me!
I guess it is a good thing that my word for 2018 is positivity and that I am ridding myself of drama and negativity! My soul must have known before my mind accepted it! I am going to fake it till I make it!
Happy New Year and Thank You for the many inspirational posts you have shared over the years! I love checking your blog posts out! 😁
Ellen Bornstein
January 6, 2018 at 1:23 pmLaura, your talent and wonderful sense if humor are the best gifts. You can write or talk about anything and I would enjoy it. Okay, maybe not politics or football. I adore the butter dish your Mom gave you but such thoughtful gifts all of them!
Shelly Kingham
January 6, 2018 at 1:26 pmI think I would love the Amazing Grace Body Creme!
cyndi morris
January 6, 2018 at 1:28 pmYou’re a lucky lady! Such nice gifts. I never thought I’d pick something over chocolate, but that NYX Butter Gloss sounds wonderful. Need to find that and give it a try!
Sue Olson
January 6, 2018 at 1:32 pmLike you I am a devoted fan of Philosophy’s Amazing Grace and have the fragrance, body butter, skin care items, etc. that a dear friend got me started on several years ago with a gift box of their items. But I absolutely love the beautiful jewelry box that you can actually see into that you received. I love how prettily it displays jewelry items.
Connie J Gregoire
January 6, 2018 at 1:36 pmThis was a really fun post to read through. Thanks for sharing. I LOVE that butter dish though!!! AHHHHMAZING!! I want to check out the butter gloss too.

donna mikasa
January 6, 2018 at 1:57 pmThanks for sharing your faves! That jewelry box is soooo pretty, except that I’m so not a jewelry gal so I’d probably stuff it with the sea salt candy! 😛
Nana Griffin
January 6, 2018 at 2:46 pmIt is a toss between the jewery box and the chocolates. But then chocolate is always super!
B. Robles
January 6, 2018 at 2:51 pmI love the print by Helen Dardik. It’s so colorful and pretty!!
lindagrady
January 6, 2018 at 2:56 pmThose dark chocolate sea salt caramels are a favorite of mine; I pick them up at Michael’s a lot as they are right next to the registers. LOL If you can’t bear to share your chocolates, lol, I love the socks; great designs. Thank you for your kindness.

maureenchandler
January 6, 2018 at 3:40 pmWOW! All your gifts are just wonderful! I would love to try the Amazing Grace whipped body butter. I have not tried the perfume but would love to find out more about it.

Dana
January 6, 2018 at 4:01 pmI love that you shared your gifts with us! It’s so hard to choose just one thing but I have to go with the print. Thank you for bringing Helen Dardik to my attention. Her art makes me happy. How could you not be happy looking at her art?!

Charlene Dahlberg
January 6, 2018 at 5:56 pmthe butter dishis my favorite –it has me swooning ! It is just the perfect addition to any table. My mom was an antique dealer for years and this reminds me so much of some of the lovely things she had over the years
Beverly North
January 6, 2018 at 6:01 pmMy first choice would be the Amazing Grace body cream-then the lip gloss. Thanks for sharing your gifts! You’re a special lady and deserve them all!!
LC Lamothe
January 6, 2018 at 6:21 pmWhat an awesome list of favorites! I too seem to LOVE a lot of things. I think that just means we’re easy to please☺ I enjoyed reading about each of the items on your list. I would have to pick the socks as my own favorite because they’re fun and cute but that butter dish is pretty fabulous too!
María Alba Negrón

Pat McCleary
January 6, 2018 at 6:43 pmThis was a fun post, Laura. I used a butter dish for years; somehow when it broke, I never replaced it. Maybe it’s time for a new one.
Andrea D.

January 6, 2018 at 8:55 pmI Love that you shared here, and such lovely gifts! First of all, that chocolate is my favorite and I ate well more than my share this season (I only do dark chocolate too!). I love lip gloss, so I am definitely looking at that one, although I don’t know where I would put it because I have them EVERYWHERE lol. I am also going to check out Helen Dardik.
Thanks so much for sharing!!
Tess Hackett

The two shades I have been using for the past couple of years are Angelfood Cake and Strawberry Parfait…now I’m gonna get Creme Brulee! NYX is my favorite ;o)

Denise Bryant
January 7, 2018 at 12:16 amWhat thoughtful gifts! I love the personalized jewelry box! So pretty, and since it’s clear, it shows off the special trinkets inside! I’d put a few treasures in it that were my Mom’s.
Iris M Soscia
January 7, 2018 at 12:43 amMy fave is the llama.
Christine
January 7, 2018 at 12:58 amWow, you are one lucky woman! They are all lovely, but I’d go for the chocolate because I’m on a diet and can’t have it, so I just want it more. Happy new year.
Megan
January 7, 2018 at 1:18 amWell you must have been very very nice last year. They look like all good useful items and look lovely, my favourite would have to be the socks, I’m very boring.
juliejitsu
January 7, 2018 at 2:26 amThanks for sharing all of your beautiful and thoughtful gifts. The butter dish would have to be my favorite as I love them too. I keep looking at them but never seem to buy any. What a thoughtful Mum you have.

Dawn Becker
January 7, 2018 at 7:34 amHi happy new year Laura!! I also wear Amazing Grace but didn’t know that’s they had the whipped body cream. Sometimes I like to wear lotion especially in the summer it isn’t as strong , not that
Amazing grace it strong !! Enjoy your cards all year long and look forward to another year of cards!

January 7, 2018 at 9:38 amLaura I just love you. You always make me smile when I watch your videos, so thank you for that. That butter dish is amazing. I have an old one that belonged to my husbands grandmother, but never had the lid for it. :(. Happy New Year!
Ginny
January 7, 2018 at 11:01 amI must confess I love Sox too. Always give Christmas socks to all and love to get them too. My daughter searches out interesting, meaningful ones to give to me. Never disappointed!
Tammy
January 7, 2018 at 11:15 amI’m loving the socks! I love to wear fun socks, and I really love it when I see somebody’s fun socks peek out under their pant legs. Thanks for sharing these gifts Laura…you are the best!

January 7, 2018 at 5:25 pmWhat thoughtful gifts! If I had to pick just one to revive… it would have to be that butter dish!! It is beautiful! I don’t collect dishes as you do but I would love to have that one to use or maybe just display! 😊

DebiKT
January 7, 2018 at 6:48 pmLots of fun gift ideas… thank you for sharing. My skin is soaking up lotion like crazy this winter. I stopped wearing fragrance in the workplace but now that I’m retired I think the Amazing Grace Whipped Body Creme sounds heaven-s(c)ent. 🙂

Darlene Fellows
January 7, 2018 at 8:25 pmWhat a fun post! I love seeing what makes other people happy. Your new jewelry box is stunning, but socks to keep my feet warm are what really warms my heart. 🙂

Margery C
January 8, 2018 at 1:08 amWhat fun gifts! I made a card for my group swap in your honor. It had a rainbow colored background. So fun and bright. Thought of your cards as I made it. Lip gloss me please.
karenladd
January 8, 2018 at 1:28 amWow, this is a fun post and you seriously made every single little gift look like magic! That butter dish is probably my favorite because it’s so beautiful but I am very curious about the NYX butter gloss now and will have to check it out! Happy 2018!
Jen shears
January 8, 2018 at 1:50 amSee! I could tell we would be great friends even before I read about your faves- but I honestly clicked on everything because it’s all so awesome! I think the butter dish may be my wish item for mother’s day!!😁
Thanks for sharing her your faves!
Rachel Vass
January 8, 2018 at 4:44 amLove this post, such an interesting read. I absolutely love Helen Dardik too and follow her on ig so I’m not sure I could choose between her print and that darling butter dish, swoon.
Kit A
January 8, 2018 at 7:39 amGreat gifts. NYX Butter Gloss is my favorite along with the socks. I love socks too. 🙂
Christy Q
January 8, 2018 at 8:29 amWow – amazing gifts!! I love the butter dish – so elegant!
Congrats to the winners.
Lori B Clark
January 8, 2018 at 10:00 amI’m like Pavlov’s dog. I salivate at just the THOUGHT of caramel, so I’d pick that gift as my fave. I’ve been using a VERY boring Tupperware butter dish for DECADES (could I possibly be that old?) and seeing that gorgeous dish your mom gave you, makes me want to change up! What fun it was seeing your Christmas gifts! Thanks for sharing!
Keiren Dunfee
January 8, 2018 at 10:26 amI also received some delicious Philosophy as a gift as well! Never thought about my boring butter dish though, maybe time for an upgrade!
SentSue
January 8, 2018 at 11:44 amJust one…so hard. I am a fan of dark chocolate and caramel, the lip balm looks great and I have been and Amazing Grace fan for years. A very happy New Year to you and may your year be filled with blessings!
Kilcha Goos
January 8, 2018 at 11:57 amI, too, love fun socks! They make me smile, especially when wearing them to work, even if no one but me sees them. 🙂 I’m also addicted to those dark chocolate sea salted caramels! I could toss all the milk chocolate out the window, but I’d fight a polar bear for the dark chocolate ones!
Mary-Anne V.
January 8, 2018 at 12:41 pmWhat wonderful gifts you got. I must say I am always looking for a good moisturizing lip product so the Butter Gloss is the top of my fav. list.
Lynda
January 8, 2018 at 1:10 pmI do love me some chocolate also, but Creme Bule is high up on the list too. Even if it doesn’t taste like it, the neutral color looks tasty.
susie sonnier
January 8, 2018 at 2:31 pmWhat lovely gifts. The butter dish is adorable and I’ll have to try that lip gloss too
Linda E
January 8, 2018 at 4:32 pmWhat a fun post! I have already pinned several — butter dish, butter balm and the creme! My absolute favorite is the butter dish because it is so unique! It looks like an antique!
Karen M
January 8, 2018 at 4:32 pmSwoon – the butter dish! Love the glass knob….everything about it. And well if you could keep chocolate in butter dishes 🙂
Amy Klin
January 8, 2018 at 6:24 pmLove the chocolates, but I’m also going to check out the Amazing Grace cream. Thanks for the fun gift post.
barbara lassiter
January 8, 2018 at 7:47 pmWhat lovely gifts and thank you for sharing. That was fun. I wrote down the name of the amazing grace creme as soon as I saw it. It must be my first choice! Hope your New Year is always Happy! 🙂
Bee T
January 8, 2018 at 7:50 pmYou must have been a very Nice girl this year!! Love the Butter Gloss.
Kathy Rudolph
January 8, 2018 at 8:23 pmI retired from teaching last year and I have socks…..LOTS of socks……Dr. Seuss, holiday, wacko patterns, Winnie the Pooh…….they were a hit with the little ones. But now? maybe not so much with the over 60 crowd. BUT….you know what??? That’s one of the perks of getting older! I can wear what I want and don’t give a hoot nor holler what someone thinks!!! LOL
Judyt
January 8, 2018 at 8:24 pmThe butter dish and socks are at the top of my list.
Carolyn S
January 8, 2018 at 11:07 pmI loved this post. I am kind of a snoop and this is letting me get a look at your goodies (does that sound bad?). Anyhow – love the Amazing Grace body cream and the lip butter – oh and the butter dish (although I would never be able to use it – I would just put it on a counter and smile at it)
Viveca V.
January 8, 2018 at 11:29 pmWell thought out and sweet gifts.. I am sure the gift giver had as much fun picking the items out, and it shows how special you are to him/her. Thanks for sharing such a fun post. I love the unique butter dish as well as the personalized and etched trinket box.
Rinda K.
January 8, 2018 at 11:55 pmThanks for sharing your non-crafty goodies. I really like that personalized jewelry box…it’s so pretty! 🙂

January 9, 2018 at 1:44 amWell, I already got chocolate for Christmas so I’m going to go with that gorgeous butter dish, and the adorable socks!! I always kick off my shoes when I’m at home so cute socks are a must have!
Heather Innusa

swldebbie
January 9, 2018 at 2:35 pmThis was such a fun blog post to read, Laura. It brought back good memories from when I was a kid and families and friends would visit each other between the holidays and there would always be a time of showing what everyone got for Christmas (yes, including those necessary but boring gifts of underwear!). TFS!
Kathy W
January 9, 2018 at 4:00 pmHmmm. It’s hard to pass up the chocolate, but I do love those skier socks.
Tammy B
January 9, 2018 at 10:51 pmFun post! Everything you received looks wonderful but right now, I need the socks to keep my feet warm and the chocolate for comfort in this brutally cold weather we’re having again. 😬 Gotta love winter in Alberta! 🌨🌬❄️
Cathy B.
January 10, 2018 at 11:09 amLaura, you are the best gift of all. I so enjoy your videos – you have a delightful sense of humor. If I had to pick, it would be dark chocolate.
Katrina H
January 10, 2018 at 8:31 pmI would love to try that NYX butter gloss. If you like cute socks, you should look at woven pear. I love their socks!
Maria G.
January 12, 2018 at 9:10 amI love all of your posts. Thank you for sharing. My favorite are the socks and the print is adorable.
Christa Marie
January 12, 2018 at 12:53 pmloving the lip butter color, and the socks! you’re right, the lady who designed the card is super talented! i just check out her instagram and her use of colors is so wonderful!

January 17, 2018 at 2:25 pmThanks for sharing! First of all, I have six words for you – road trip, Ghirardelli store downtown Chicago. Right by the Watertower. You’ll never run out of Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel again. Second, I love Mud Pie! I received a deviled egg tray for Christmas, and the best thing about it was the little serving fork that says “Feeling Devilish”. Love! My favorite of your gifts is the NYX Butter Gloss.
