Hostess Gifting
We've all been there. On my way out the door to some fab holiday party and eek! I forgot to pick up a hostess gift and gas station flowers are not gonna cut it. Every year before holiday madness sets in, I pick up a couple of gorgeous hostess gifts so I'm never caught empty-handed. I have been loving the gift sets from Lifetherapy recently.
