A New Favorite Thing - Vine Oh! Box

I was really excited when Vine Oh! reached out to me about trying one of their subscription boxes.  I've been seeing them on social media and have been wanting to check them out.  It's a box filled with fabulous sips and surprises.  Here are all the details of the current winter box that's available (it's almost sold out) and an amazing deal with even better free gifts.  

This box comes with - 

• Cuccio Somatology Detox Bath (retail value $40) - I'm so excited to try this Epsom salt bath experience.  I was just telling my friend the other day I need to do one of these so the timing is perfect. 

• Jules Smith Hoops Earrings (retail value $40) - 14k gold plated and hypoallergenic.  Super cute! 

• Plum & Punch Toasting Flutes (2) (retail value $30) - Obsessed with house cute these rose gold flutes are...they have "get fancy" written across the front.  So fun!!! 

• Emily Bordner Tassel (retail value $9) - the perfect spring accessory! This fun clip tassel can clip on to your handbag or be used for a keychain.

• Wine - And the most important thing in this box is two bottles of custom wine.  

Great gift for yourself or one of your girl friends.  Would be a great pampering gift for a new mom!!!  Imagine how excited she (or any of the ladies in your life) would be opening a box like this.  

I've got a great deal for you thanks to the folks at Vine Oh!

Five Friday Favorites - Etsy Shops

I've been wanting to do this Five Friday Favorites topic for a while now.  I LOVE Etsy....love all the unique items they have and supporting small businesses.  I've bought SO many things from Etsy shops over the years but narrowing down to my five favorite shops.  Check them out -


#1 - Salted Words Company

I got this sign to put in our mudroom.  I love the meaning behind it and I want our kids to remember it each and everyday they live for school.  The quality was great and I was able to pick size and frame color so it fits with our decor perfect.  They offer a bunch of different phrases, song lyrics, etc.  I had a hard time deciding what to get.  Love this shop so much, I know I'll be ordering from them again.  And you can get a discount with code CHRISTINA20 at checkout.  Definitely take advantage. 


#2 - 3 Little Pixies Shop

Got a personalized money clip from this shop first for my hubs with special dates on it (anniversary and the kids birthdays) and he LOVED it.  Something simple but it has a very special meaning.  We ended up getting these for each of our dads too with important dates.  Great gift idea! And they don't just do money clips.  They have a whole bunch of personalized items for you!


#3 - Sawdust and Lace

My girls LOVE to do art and they are constantly giving me pieces of art to display in my office.  And by office I mean my little nook off of our kitchen.  I ordered this sign to display their works of art.  I love the clips because it makes it easy to change them out.  Unfortunately they are taking a small break but you can be notified to when they return which I hope is soon because their stuff is SO cute!


#4 - My Little Mookie 

I have been ordering from this shop for YEARS ever since I got a blanket as a gift.  She makes the sweetest, cutest baby items.  I especially LOVE her blankets because they are super soft and customizable so you can make it personal with almost whatever you want.  Make for great additions to your home or gift ideas.  She also has super cute onesies, bibs and more.  And you can get some of these fab pieces for 20% off!  She's offering all my readers 20% off with code CFT20 at check out.  Definitely recommend you look at her stuff!!! 


#5 - Recneps Design

I got one of these key rings for my Hubby for Christmas.  He hates anything bulky and this was the perfect gift to keep his keys in some order.  He doesn't just do key rings, he has all sorts of great, hand-crafted accessories that make for great gifts.  Perfect for Valentine's Day.   And here's a coupon code for you to use CFT10!

GIFT GUIDE - Stocking Stuffers for Adults...but mainly Ladies :)

Stocking Stuffers for me are always the last items to purchase.  Growing up my parents (I mean Santa) would always fill ours with practical gifts like shampoo, toothpaste, etc.  Now as an adult when my husband (I mean Santa) fills my stocking I ask for a balance of stuff I need (that I would already buy) and fun stuff.  Here's a list of the fun stuff...some gender neutral or for him but mostly for the ladies.

These retractable iPhone cords are the MOST POPULAR item by far by all of you.  SO many have been purchased especially this holiday season.  Makes a great gift!

This nail polish is the MOST pinned shade and it's SOOOO pretty.  Under $5!

iWatch bands are a great stocking stuffer and there are SO many affordable options out there.  I've purchased several since getting mine and love them - a great sport option and a more dressier version.

I put these initial key chains in my gift guide for co-workers.  I may have bought one for myself and gave it to my husband to wrap.  As of posting, this is ON SALE right now.

Here's one just for HIM.  These magnetic collar stays will be a huge hit with the man in your life. 

I LOVE sheet masks!!!  There are so many good ones out there.  Get a pack and keep a few for yourself and then wrap a few for stockings.  My favorites are these and these and I want to try these. 

This is such a cute layering bracelet and its under $15.  Great for teens/tweens too because its adjustable.  Wear it on its own or layer it.

Love insulated wine tumblers.  Gave these as gifts last year and this year.  Great for him or her.

MAJOR MARKDOWNS at Stella and Dot

Holy Cow there are SOOOO many sales going on at Stella and Dot right now that I had to put it all into one blog post!  Lots of great gift ideas in here.  And check out my Insta Stories as I walk you through some of these.

UNDER $20 

Taj Clutch ($16.99) - By far the most popular this holiday season and I'm surprised it hasn't sold out yet...I have no doubt it will VERY soon.  Perfect winter clutch with built in wallet. 

Awning Clutch ($18.99) - This is the PERFECT summer bag.  Love the black stripe.  And the inside has a really cute fun pattern.  I snagged one of these for myself and a few as gifts.  I mean you can't beat the under $20 price tag! 

Kala Charm Necklace ($19.99) - Love the charm detail on this necklace.  Such a great gift idea.  I picked up one to give to one of my daughter's teachers.  

Winona Drops ($16.99) - I love these turquoise earrings.  VERY light weight and go with SO much.  You can wear them year-round.  Earrings not your thing, there's a necklace with the same shape and stone that is also on sale! 

Rosalind Earrings ($11.99) - These are SO cute.  I ended up picking up a pair a couple weeks ago when they went on sale.  You can wear them about four different ways including just as a stud.  The perfect earring to dress up all the black I wear.  Highly recommend.  

UNDER $25 

Addison Top ($20.99) - This is a fabulous top for the holidays with the fun great color.  Dress it up with a fun necklace like the Sutton I have on or this Rebecca Minkoff collab that's also on sale.  Fit is true to size.

Winona Necklace ($21.99) - This coordinates with the earrings that I posted in the under $20 section.  Again, love the stone and the shape.

Rory Earrings ($20.99) - I LOVE these earrings.  They are so unique with the blush leather petal detail.  Light weight and go with some many things.  I HIGHLY recommend.  And if they aren't you for you, try the necklace (see further down).

Jasper Fringe Necklace ($22.99) - This is the perfect necklace to dress up your all black looks.  You know I wear SO much black so this is perfect.  Wear it year round.  This retailed for over $100!!!!


UNDER $30

Nakoma Chandeliers ($27.99) - I've had my eye on these for a while so when they got marked down a couple weeks ago I picked them up.  They've been reduced even further.  They are SO fun and a great way to spice up and outfit.  And all my Rachel Hollis fans, she loves them too!!!  

UNDER $40 

Rae Top ($34.99) - This is the PERFECT basic black top with a twist.  I LOVE the detail on the sleeve.  Great year around as you can layer it.  Fit is true to size.

Taylor Lace Cape ($34.99) - LOVE the detail on this top.  It's so pretty and flattering.  And you can't beat the price right now.  It runs big so DEFINITELY size down.

UNDER $50 

Rory Necklace ($40.99) - Like I said if the earrings weren't your thing try the coordinating necklace.  Adjustable so you can wear at different lengths.  Lightweight and really dresses up an outfit. 

Geometric Scarf ($47.99) - Love this large scarf.  It's perfect for layering with my cardigans, especially my favorite Always Cardigan that I'm wearing in this picture.
