Calirosa Rosa Blanco Tequila

Bringing a bottle? Make it an interesting one! If tequila and rosé had a baby, it would be this pretty pink spirit. It's actually singer Adam Levine's brand and it gets high marks. Perfect for sippers, shot shooters, and margarita makers. Comes in at just under $50.

Citronella & Thyme Candle

I love useful products that are pretty, too. Terrain offers several scents and sizes. These will keep the bugs at bay and scent any space deliciously.

Terrain

Grill Prep & Marinade Tray

A genius gift for any griller. The bottom tray is for marinating or just getting the raw food to the grill. The printed top tray is melamine. It acts as a lid while marinating or carrying. Then after cooking, it will transport the food to the table without contaminating. It's lovely!

William Sonoma

Lacquer Bean Bag Toss Set

If you are invited for the weekend, bring the fun! An overnight stay calls for a bigger gift.  It's a wonderful family gift, as all ages can enjoy it. Select colors are on sale. Make it even more special with personalization.

Pass the salad, please. These are the perfect gift for a garden get together or patio party. Surely they will  turn heads (of lettuce). They are made from sapel wood and then oiled.

Personalized Charcuterie Tray

Available in several sizes and stain colors, but this 8" x 12" is my favorite. It's not too big or too small. Super good looking!

Tropicale Bamboo Pitcher

Pour up some fun! This good looking gift is under $20. Even better when you fill it with some sangria and present it to your host.

Sur La Table

Lafco Discovery Trio
One of my favorite "little" gifts to give. It's a great way to sample fragrances, and wonderful to have in the gift closet. For $16 you select three scents of your choice. Choose from Duchess Peony, Paloma Melon, Champagne and many more. The candles are perfect for travel, ship for free, and you get a $16 coupon for a future purchase. It is so pleasingly presented, too. It's a winner.
