Still stuck for Christmas present ideas?!

We all know that the proverbial shopping clock is ticking away- only FIVE more shopping days this holiday season.. or six, if you are the type to try your luck at some stores on Christmas morning.

With the storm this weekend, my guess is you're probably snowed in, and furiously online searching for those last minute purchases.

Have no fear! She Chester will save the day this coming week for any of those last minute purchases.

We all have that friend or family member who has just about everything. Every year, you put your thinking cap on and as the Christmas ends, you ask yourself how you're supposed to do it all again in a year.

Today I'd like to share a photo of our our more unique presents. This apron is for the gal who serves as hostess with the mostess in your circle- always having friends over, always coming up with new and delicious meals. Someone with spunk.

Imagine her delight when she receives this apron- the epitome of holiday cheer. I promise you she won't be receiving another one this Christmas!

For all those last minute shoppers out there, don't forget to swing by She Chester this final week to check the last gifts off of your list.

See you soon,
Mary

Our First Christmas

While each Christmas is special in their own way, I think we can all agree that there is something very memorable about your first holiday with your significant other.

Newlyweds often find themselves with their house brimming with wedding gifts that need putting away- from pots and pans to new sheets and towels. By the time the holidays roll around, we as friends of the young lovebirds have to ask ourselves-
"What in the world is left to get them?"

Well I have your answer right here! Our Recipe for Love Measuring Spoons are the perfect stocking stuffers. They come in a set of four:

A HEAP OF HAPPINESS - 1 Tablespoon (5 1/4 inches)
A SPOON OF SHARING - 1 Teaspoon (4 inches)
A PINCH OF PASSION - 1/2 Teaspoon (3 1/4 inches)
A DASH OF DREAMS - 1/4 Teaspoon (3 inches)

These are the perfect compliment to the many kitchen related gifts they surely received for their wedding.

So stop on by today!

See you soon,
Mary

Happy Everything!

The holidays mean entertaining and I myself love having friends and family over as much as I can during this wonderful time of year. The only issue I run into, however, is constantly pulling out the different themed platters and serving items I've collected over the years.

I start with my fun spring plates which then turns into my summer picnic ware. Before you know it, it's time for Halloween then Thanksgiving and now we're in full blown holiday season. I just can't keep track any more!

You can imagine my delight upon discovering the "Happy Everything" platter. I took a photo of one in our shop as you can see, and what makes is so versatile is that the Christmas Tree on the platter is just one of many attachments you can put on it. When the holidays are over, the platter stands close as I can simply switch out the tree for something for New years, Valentine's Day, Easter and beyond!

Now if that's not efficient, I don't know what is!

So stop in today and pick one up before the holidays soirees get the best of you!

See you soon,
Mary

Tis the Season- for Holiday Parties!

There are many reasons why I love the holiday season but in particular, I always enjoy all the parties! Whether hosted by family, friend or business colleague, one thing reigns true: never come empty handed!

Hostess gifts are a great way to show your thanks for the invitation, as well as the efforts made to create a fabulous soiree. While it's not mandatory, it's always a thoughtful gesture and demonstrates good manners.

This season, hostesses everywhere are surely receiving the standard bottle of wine, flowers and/or candies.

Why not take the creative leap and try something a little different?

At She Chester this holiday season, we have an array of options- from holiday inspired dish towels and monogrammed napkins, to delightful serving dishes to fit every taste and budget.

So this season, instead of reaching for that bottle of wine, come visit us at Just the Thing and treat your hostess with the mostess with a gift they'll appreciate throughout the season.

See you soon,
Mary
