Saturdays At Shop This: Being Present

{ Via: ZsaZsa Bellagio }

Apologies for being missing in action, but Ms. Shop This came to town and brought that wonderful fiancé of hers, Steve. Like you, I have been busy in the best of ways. Christmas for most of us, is about finding the perfect "present." But my daughter taught me a lovely lesson this week. She asked me to  just "Be Present," for Christmas. Apparently I worked too much over Thanksgiving, and she felt my absence, even though I was here every moment. If we look within, we'll find that all of us just want to "be" with our loved ones. What's inside those beautiful boxes is a bonus. The best Christmas gift of all, is giving of ourselves. So that's where I have been, and will be until December 28th. Here's some last minute links I think you'll love.

We'll begin with one of the best Holiday Shipping deals of all. Neiman Marcus is offering Free Overnight Delivery if ordered by Noon today. Use Code: NMQuick.

And lastly, speaking of wine. The Ullo Wine Purifier is what to gift your favorite wine afficiando. I have been using it for 9 months. It's fabulous for filtering out the perservatives and sulphites that are in wine. It also aerates your wine, if you wish. Amazon Prime will get it to you before Christmas.

May your holiday sparkle, and your heart be filled with the love of family and friends.
Merry-Kissmas
