Holiday Gift Basket Ideas

No idea what to buy a special friend ot relative for holiday gift giving? A gift basket that encourages relaxation, especially during this busy time of year, is the perfect gift! Michaels, Homegoods, or Marshalls have nice selections of decorative boxes.

Add a cozy pair of slipper sox or a pair of Snoozie slippers are wonderful! An attractive mug with a box of herbal tea or a favorite bottle of wine speaks comfort. Don't forget chocolates for chocolate lovers. How about a yummy bar of Godiva Chocolate?

Or, think "spa delights" and find a pretty bar of scented soap, hand/foot moisturizing creams, a lavendar candle, a journal, or bath beads. Most important, for readers, add a good book, or maybe two or three!

My newest Christmas novella, Blessings and the Thief, has sweet romance, humor, and an inspiring message. Reviewers call it, delightful! It's a story that reminds us of the importance of family and friends. What could be more special than a gift basket filled with thoughtful and restful gifts?

Order Blessings and the Thief on Amazon in print or ebook for hours of relaxing reading.

What Reviewers are Saying:

“Relax by the fire with this wonderfully crafted Regency Christmas story spiked with romance and a bit of mystery. The book instantly brings you into the moment when a sleigh load of good friends arrive in a snowstorm, excited about sharing the holiday in an inn said to be haunted by mischievous ghosts. When the host is taken ill, his nephew Damien, who can’t seem to move on with his life after his mother’s death, reluctantly fills in. But being host doesn’t seem such an unpleasant task when the lovely Tess, who has been dumped by her fiancé and has sworn off men, arrives with her aunt and uncle. Throughout tradition holiday festivities, conversations center about missing items. Who is the real thief? The ghosts? A party attendee? The developing romance between Damien and Tess warmed my heart, while the mystery piqued my curiosity. Don’t miss this fun read!"

"This is a delightful, delicate tale, full of seasonal joy and happiness. Through Tess and Damien’s eyes we experience the Regency Christmas customs of gathering greenery, making decorations, lighting the yule log, and going on sleigh rides. The spirits of the inn also play their part, teasing and healing in equal measure.
The mysteries of the ghosts and the missing trinkets are finally resolved in satisfying style, with Tess and Damien looking forward to the New Year together.
A lovely Christmas story!"
