The time and love that goes into every handmade piece radiates from each and every one.

If you make a purchase from any of these companies, I can GUARANTEE that each owner will do a happy dance with every purchase... at least that's how it goes for us :) 1: Crocheted Cowl Scarf by Hooked On Yarn CT 2: The Darks Nailpolish by Spellbound Nails 3.

Give me all the puppies! Nothing makes me happier than when I see an adorable pup walking towards me. Really! I usually break into a huge smile and start talking {in baby talk, obviously} to the cutest little baby in the world... and then to it's owner asking if I can please pet them. Please.

Men are difficult to shop for. I know, I know, they will say the same thing about women, but this is my blog, so my opinion is what I'm going with right now, haha. Men are tough.

After graduating The Fashion Institute of Technology (many moons ago), I know fashion is completely subjective. I love that about it. You can make it all your own. You can choose to be someone new every day just by the armor you're wearing. There are certain outfits that make me feel like a million dollars. For all of the fashion lovers out there, it's not about the price tag or the label, it's about how special this piece is to you. What you can make of it. Fashion can give you confidence to take on the world and kick some major a$$. The possibilities are endless. 1. Pink Crystal Flower Earrings by Mei Faith Studio 2. I Have to be Successful Mug by MugaBabe 3. #Fashionista Soy Candle by Es

This has to be one of my favorite gift guides ever. I come from an Italian family, so when it comes to food, you know we like to eat.

I should warn you... don't view this gift guide hungry. I can't be held accountable for what will happen if you do :) 1. Baker's Delight Candle Trio by Prismatic Peacock 2. Banana Split Sundae Soap by AJ Sweet Soap 3. Garlic T-Shirt by Bianco Brands 4. Hangry Spoon by Sky Metal Designs 5. Avocado Earrings by Jewels For

Bookworms are a breed all of their own. I myself, am proud to call myself a bookworm. With that being said, I know how difficult it is to find the absolute perfect gift to give someone who's favorite hobby is diving deep into a book and forgetting the world around them. Do you chance getting them a book they already read? Nope. Do you get a gift card for them to get more books? Hmm, a little impersonal for some. Have no fear! I have scouted out the PERFECT gifts for those loving the written word. I know they'll take their heads out of their books long enough to really appreciate these gifts... I mean, I know I would! 1. Book Enamel Pin by Sweet Ava's Paper 2. Book Lover Coffee Mug by Heart &
