Speaking of gifts, I got the nicest surprise the other day.

complete with jingle bells.

My first time hosting Christmas at our new house. Very stressful with everyone traveling and staying with us. Yikes. Lovely giveaway. my email is alexandra.i.robertson7@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway. It's so stressful during the Holidays, this giveaway is a great stress buster!
ReplyDeleteAmy idea of stress-buster in a box is great! I told my colleagues in the room as a gift for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOh, I could use such case, especially after this week's work. Unfortunately, it is so strange regularity that I really I see in my work - in the period before Christmas is increased aggression in people, every day I have a few interventions related to domestic violence. This is a very serious problem.
Yours very warm
What a wonderful give away! Something that is totally for yourself. Blogging friends are so wonderful always sharing. Enjoy your holiday season. Oh, and count me in. joanne.boulter@live.com

You're singing my song, Amy. Please add my name to the hat.
ReplyDeleteA stress-buster in a box is just what I need this time of year. Between getting ready for Christmas and working with middle school kids all day, it is a stressful time of year.
ReplyDeleteWow! What an incredible giveaway! I would love to win it. Who couldn't use a little relaxation in a box?! I love the cute Christmas in a jar gift you received too.

ReplyDeleteOk AMy I've picked out my stress buster... It was the chocolate of course. I didn't know that chocolate was a stress reliever. They are all great ideas but we all have our weak spots. Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeleteDark chocolate, only, Mary, but I'm grateful that ANY chocolate is good for you!

Well, I thought I was already following your blog, but apparently was not. So now I am (and also following on Pinterest). What a lovely gift! I start stressing out about the holidays mid-October every year, mainly because of all of the things I must finish at work before the end of the year (especially if I want to take time off, which, of course, I always do). And at the same time, I want to be festive and cozy and decorate my house from top to bottom, bake, sit in front of a roaring fire with hot cocoa, and do all those other fun holiday activities. So, all in all, it ends up being a very stressful time. Thanks for making your box of stress-busting goodies available! Melissa at melddc2@gmail.com
ReplyDeletePooh a lovely box of goodies! Alas I have no tub. I would love a good soak! Living in an RV has it's drawbacks. What a generous, gracious thing to do
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to destress
ReplyDeleteWow what a wonderful giveaway of awesome goodies. I all ready following you and on FB and Instagram....thanks again for sharing Pat Howe plbh65@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSome great ideas ...
ReplyDeleteI always find a good cup of tea can help too!
All the best Jan
Love this idea for a gift! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
