A One Woman Party

When I stumbled across Packed Party on Instagram I knew this fun company would instantly be bookmarked to my favorites for gifting. What is it you ask? Well basically its a cute little package you buy online that filled with treats from incredible brands, clever and sassy notes and a slew of occasions {from birthdays to promotions to breakups} to send to your favorite gal pal. Each package is put together upon order so the exact contents are always changing which really makes this a fun way to surprise the recipient {and yourself}. I am personally loving the "Miss You Bitch" set {which I would send up to my bestie in Maine had I not already mailed her Christmas gift last week} along with the "Thanks A Million" to tell someone how grateful you are and the "You Don't Need Him Anyway" break up box for the friend who needs a little cheering up after a some heartache. I am so in love with this idea & can't wait to send one to someone I love {hopefully not for the breakup package}. Just take a look for yourself at all the cute contents of this cheerful company. 

Tasting Room

I feel like a broken record these days with my bad posting habits. Honestly, the internet was horrific in NYC and I couldn't get a single thing done without losing my mind, so my sincere apologies for the lack of a post yesterday. I don't know how anyone gets anything done in that city! We arrived in Washington D.C. last night and lucky for me the internet is working - yahooooooo! As I was perusing instagram last night, I spotted such fun concept on one of my favorite bloggers - Note To Self feed and I thought I would share with you in case you haven't seen. The Tasting Room is a personalized wine club where you are sent samples of several wines which allows you to try a variety of brands and different grapes to find the perfect wine to satisfy for your taste. The starter kit {$9.95} will send you a few petite sample bottles of which you rate to your liking, submit to the company and they curate larger bottles based on those reviews. It's such a clever idea for those who can find selecting wine a daunting process. It also makes a great gift for the wine lovers out there!

It seems these days you can pretty much find a subscription service to pretty much everything. There are treats for your furry friend, beauty products for yourself or your guy, stylish clothing oh and pretty paper for those who aren't into the old fashioned paper and pen. Never mind the plethora of full meal services ensuring you never have to cook another day in your life. I personally love the idea of a monthly surprise package arriving at your door, perfectly curated with treats you may not have normally picked out for yourself but may be pleasantly surprised with. Enter Hatchery, a monthly tasting box delivered to you with products all sourced from small batch companies doing their thing. For $20/month you will be sent 5-6 samples of artisanal products for enjoying...think salsas, caramels, flavored salts etc. The best part, you get details on the producers and the site has their own marketplace for purchasing your favorites. Makes a great gift for your foodie friend or family member or yourself!

Golden Tote

I have to be honest, I don't know a lot of woman that don't enjoy shopping. It seems almost every female I have ever met can agree that a little retail therapy can help cure most bad days or that an outfit you feel great in can make you feel on top of the world. So for those who love shopping but don't have the time - this service is for you! Golden Tote offers a monthly mail service with two different price points {$49 for 2-3 items/month or $149 for 5-7/month} that sends you fab fashions right to your door. The custom bags are curated by two California fashionistas who are known as "the Sarah's" that will pick out on trend styles in your size and send your way. Oh, one of my favorite parts is on their social media they provide styling inspiration for their pieces they have in their shop as seen below {sort of reminds me of my weekend wear feature}. Every first of the month is a new tote with new treats for your enjoying...so go on and take a peak!
