Stuff Your Stocking With... Sweet Treats + a GIVEAWAY!

With Christmas just a few weeks away I am teaming up with Jen from Pop! Goes the Reader to bring you some fab holiday gift giving ideas for your favorite reader.  Visit our blogs every Thursday this month as we feature some stocking stuffer ideas paired with books that we feel should be on anyone's Christmas Wish List.  I love this time of year, and I especially love gift giving.  I hope our posts give you some ideas on what to give others, and maybe even add to your very own Christmas Wish List (feel free to link your loved ones to our posts, hehe).

Who doesn't love sweet treats?! I know I do!  For this week's STUFF YOUR STOCKING I've gathered some gift ideas for those who have a sweet tooth.  You don't have to know how to bake in order to use any of these items, but they sure do make cute stocking stuffers.  I particularly like the gingerbread men measuring spoons.  How cute are those?!  And you can never go wrong with a Dessert of the Day recipe cookbook. Mmm.

Stuff Your Stocking With... Things To Keep You Warm + a GIVEAWAY!

With Christmas just a few weeks away I am teaming up with Jen from Pop! Goes the Reader to bring you some fab holiday gift giving ideas for your favorite reader.  Visit our blogs every Thursday this month as we feature some stocking stuffer ideas paired with books that we feel should be on anyone's Christmas Wish List.  I love this time of year, and I especially love gift giving.  I hope our posts give you some ideas on what to give others, and maybe even add to your very own Christmas Wish List (feel free to link your loved ones to our posts, hehe).

For this week's STUFF YOUR STOCKING, I decided to go with the theme "To Keep You Warm".  Even though we don't get a true winter down here in Texas, we have our occasional chilly days, and that calls for a comfy scarf or cute beanie.  I gathered up a few items that I would love to see in my stocking, so I'm betting someone you may need a gift for would like them as well.  Also, you can never go wrong with a Starbucks gift card as a stocking stuffer!

I've also got some steamy Adult Romance suggestions to keep you warm, too.  Pairing one of these books with an item above would be an excellent gift to keep any reader warm this Holiday season!

Stuff Your Stocking With... Wanderlust + a GIVEAWAY!

With Christmas just a few weeks away I am teaming up with Jen from Pop! Goes the Reader to bring you some fab holiday gift giving ideas for your favorite reader.  Visit our blogs every Thursday this month as we feature some stocking stuffer ideas paired with books that we feel should be on anyone's Christmas Wish List.  I love this time of year, and I especially love gift giving.  I hope our posts give you some ideas on what to give others, and maybe even add to your very own Christmas Wish List (feel free to link your loved ones to our posts, hehe).

This week's stocking stuffer ideas are for the travel bugs at heart.  I know if it weren't for my bank account and lack of extra time, I would be jumping on the next train, plane, or truck out of town!  I gathered up a few items that I felt would be great gifts for anyone who has a love for travel, or simply appreciates the sense of adventure.  I like the travel journals I found, especially the Travel Listography -- how fun is that?!

The great thing about literature, if you aren't able to physically travel some place -- there's always a book to take you there!  I've rounded up a few of my favorite books set in different countries, or centered around traveling, that I felt would make a great companion with any of the stocking stuffer items listed above.
