Sometimes I feel like the world’s biggest procrastinator. Especially on gifts lately, when I’m supposed to be so awesome at it. A friend of mine got married in the Caribeean last month, and knowing how fun she and her man are, I decided to put together a quirky, sexy gift for them. Starting with the 50 Shades of Chicken Cookbook. We have this cookbook {and yes, I’ve read the book}, and LOVE it. It’s so hilarious – and rather sensual – to walk through the instructions together. To handle the chicken, tie it up, etc. Plus, the recipes are DELICIOUS. Who knew a chicken was so easy to roast/bake?! I added a roll of cooking twine and something sexy and comfortable for each to wear while cooking, and plopped in all in a box. All I can do from California these days. .  . hope they enjoy!

My sweet friend, Megan, got engaged a few months back (way back!), and is planning a Mexican Rivera, destination wedding. I was SO behind on picking her out an engagement gift, so I wanted to make sure it was EXTRA thoughtful. Knowing they’ll be flying to Mexico next May with lots of luggage, I decided on luggage tags! And let me tell you, I found the absolute CUTEST Mr. & Mrs. luggage tags on Etsy. Megan and her fiance live in Texas, which means I wanted something semi-western, semi-Texan, and semi-girly. As you can see, they’re perfect. Mesa Dreams lets you customize the suede lace and grommet color; I went for the teal . . very Megan! I love everything Mesa Dreams does. . . love! In the box to mail, I added two mini champagne bottles and two plastic champagne flutes with a little note of congratulations, and boom. Done. Hope you liked this one!
