Holiday Gift Ideas for 2012

The holiday season is usually prime time for gift-giving; and if you’re attending a wedding – even more so! These would make wonderful gifts for anyone, but I’ve chosen a few things that would be really sweet gifts for a couple just starting out and making memories. Here are six gifts and the traditions that can accompany them:

1. Champagne flutes are a must for New Years’ Eve toasts and celebrating special occasions together. 2.Having an ornament like this Waterford ornament to commemorate your first year as a married couple is a gift that will bring back happy memories each year. 3. When I was growing up, it always added to the excitement at dinner time when the holiday china came out. It gave my parents a way to remind me to be on my best behavior and to eat all the veggies on that pretty plate! Giving this to a couple is ‘s a great way to start a seasonal tradition in their family, too! 4. Stationery with a gold motif is always wonderful to have on hand at this time of year for thank you notes. 5. A bright tray is so helpful for breakfast in bed, or bringing hot chocolate to the fire. 6. Pretty gold candlesticks a perfect for romantic dinners, and are a festive touch year round in any home!

Happy Holidays with joy and peace to all!
