I usually buy smaller items and a big house gift.
Another thing is when you go over someones house for the holidays it's common courtesy to bring a hostess gift. They are opening their home for the festivities so why not get them something for their home.
Here are some of the items I would put together in a gift basket.
It's sometimes the little things that no one thinks about and the ones we usually need/want.
Trudeau has a great array of products for he home and kitchen. From Wine stoppers to Baking essentials here are just a few of the ones I thought would be great gifts this holiday season.
