Day 5 takes us back to the charm and delight of days long past with the popular “Let’s Bring Back” book series.

The first book ‘Let’s Bring Back,’ based on Lesley M. M. Blume’s popular Huffington Post column of the same name, is a whimsical and witty encyclopedia of nostalgia. Beautifully illustrated, ‘Let’s Bring Back’ combines fanciful items and ideals of bygone eras, along with fun tidbits on tradition, quotes and even a recipe or two. A must have book for anyone who yearns for a simpler time, or at the very least appreciates vintage.

The follow up ‘Let’s Bring Back – The Cocktail Edition’ boasts an extensive roster of libations from years gone by. Ranging from ancient times through the 1960′s and resting heavily in the prohibition era, there over one hundred delectable recipes for you to try. Once more, interesting tidbits are shared throughout the book on the topic of imbibing; such as, the history behind certain drinks, forgotten drink categories and even appropriate drinks for the morning.

This book plus a bottle of the person’s favourite tipple and you’re set!

Day 3 is all about an amazing line of body care and home scent line we just started carrying, Blithe and Bonny.

Not only is the packaging awesome, but the scents we’ve chosen are divine. With room sprays, soy candles, goats milk soaps, luxurious hand creams, and rejuvenating bath salts, there is an option for everyone.
