The holidays are almost here, which means it’s time to start planning your holiday cards and gifts. With the cost of everything rising and a move towards more eco-friendly practices, a gift exchange makes perfect sense. Instead of buying a gift for each of your loved ones or friends, everyone will exchange one present with one other person. This way, you can swap thoughtful gifts with one another without breaking the bank — making this an affordable and fun tradition.

If you’re looking for gift exchange ideas, you’re in the right place. Discover some of the best reasons to introduce a holiday gift exchange this year, as well as some of our favorite gift exchange ideas. Plus, we’ll share some fun invitation designs so you can let everyone know your plans.

For a celebration that makes you say “Aaahhhhh,” you need a spa day. Spa days are an ideal way to celebrate lots of life’s big moments — from bachelorette parties to bachelor parties and baby showers to bridal showers. And a spa birthday party is one of our favorite ways to celebrate another trip around the sun.

At a spa birthday party, the guest of honor can let go of any stress from the past year and take on their next year of life feeling refreshed and ready. Yes, a spa day is one of the most relaxing ways to spend your day, but planning a spa birthday party for a big (or small) group can be a little less relaxing.

We’ll help you get through it by sharing tips that make the planning process almost as relaxing as the pampering process. Here’s how to plan a spa birthday party from start to finish (or perhaps from start to Finnish sauna).

Two of our favorite b-words are “brunch” and “baby-to-be.” Mention either and we get giddy with anticipation. So, when it comes to celebrating the baby-to-be (and their expectant family), a baby shower brunch is the best thing ever.

With all the yummy brunch food — from waffles to avocado toast — that little one will be doing cartwheels in the tummy. And the expectant parents will be just as excited to have one last brunch before they get really busy.

Brunch has benefits for the baby shower’s host too. Breakfast food is some of the simplest and tastiest food you can prepare (or purchase) for a crowd, so this baby shower theme is easy to plan.

We’ll help you put together your own baby shower brunch with ideas for your invites, menu items, and more. It’s time to introduce this baby to the good things in life — starting with brunch!
