Decor to Die For: Great Gifts for Great People!

With the holiday season coming close...OMFG!!!! It's only a couple of weeks away!!!!!!!!!

OK, with the holiday season here...it's time to get some gifts (unless you do it the way it should be done...which is not as fun but feels pretty freaking good...and that is giving out donations to charities on behalf of your friends and family), now instead of not putting any thought into it, or buying gift cards...AGAIN...or regifting,


Which btw is super fun to watch the other persons face when they open the re-gift,

Use our gift guide and your cute lil noggin to really make your recipient feel loved.

Now, because it's decor day, these are gifts for the home. Check back on other days to get other ideas for beauty gifts, fashion and foodie gifts ;)

And away we go...

For the super cute nature loving funky mother f'n people in your life....let them spice up their walls with these suuuuuper rad ceramic deer heads.

See?? Who needs to put up real deer heads on their walls to show their lack of self esteem when you have these! ?

Next up for your uber retro lovin modern friends who have almost everything....what about a vintage-esque clock radio with Ipod adapter? This screams thoughtful!

Um yes please! We will take 2!

If you have to regift that wine that your (hardly thoughtful) friend brought over...then at least regift it with total balls and style....
These cleaver and hilarious Pop Tag wine tags are perf! Plus you can tie them on anything for a lil truthful and cute honesty!

Yummy yummy yummmmmmmm...these Pottery Barn faux fur throws are delish for your digs...
They are absolutely luscious and chic to the 9s. Your friends will run around butt nekkid with these wrapped around them, guaranteed! Hopefully they will send you some pics...or not.

Plus you can save on gift wrap...just fold into a square and tie a beautiful opposing ribbon around it...ie...black thick ribbon on white blanket and white on black.

Tres chic!

For the ultimate in thoughtful gift giving make it uber personalized.

We are craaazy hearting all things silhouette right now and these family silhouette pillows kill us.
Soooo cute right? Le Papier makes pillows for 1, a couple or like this one that shows what happens when a couple likes each other A LOT!

What about that girl/guy that looooves pop art and fun decor but you have no clue what the poop to do? Make them a crazy cool custom neon sign. No one will ever top that or thank you more than the lucky recipient.
P.S. Remember that S&M post? The "swallow" neon that was ridiculous and crazy $$$? Neonsign.com will make that for waaay less moolah.

You're welcome! or should I say thanks!!!

What is a decor post with out mentioning one of the Kings of decor...our true love and BF...Jonathan Adler.

WOW! We suuuuper heart this black "Druggist" Love vase from Mr. Adler-Doonan.

We heart how the sweet and Victorian-esque design is punked up with a matte black finish. Perfection.

How rad is this Fast vase from Rosenthal? Look closely...

It's like the vase was running super fast (maybe away from your friends wrapped in the fur blankie) while it was drying. Great one for the person who loooves fresh flowers. Grab a few black roses throw in this bad boy...tie on a grosgrain ribbon and tada!

For your candle loving friends who already got a candle you found on the candle post... grab them a set of the 7 deadly sins candles from Z Gallerie. They will never buy these for themselves.

Got a few extra $$$ lying around? Buy the OG versions of the 7DS candles from one of our favs DLco. These exquisitely scented votives will smell up your whole casa...

P.S. F the Snuggie and don't you dare buy them another tie...put some heart into it! They are worth it aren't they???

P.P.S. Etsy has suuper cute and unique gifts! OR try local craft fairs...and not the ones your nana goes to...there are cool ones out there...just google it.

Decor to Die for: Walk into the light... ok don't walk into it but look at it! Hearting lanterns!

Spray tan post?- check

Sandal post?- check, check

Summer salad post?- check

Pony tail post?- check

Wedding dress post?- check....

That can only mean 1 thing to us LALA girls of T.W.H....IT'S OFFICIALLY SUMMER!!! Well, almost 3 more days to be exact. But close enough! Wooo hooo.

We lurve us a good summer night party. Lounging with a beer or bubbly in the backyard with a warm summer breeze tickling our necks...ahhhh can't you just smell the s'mores, s'moring?

It's super easy to throw a summer bash (oooohhh we feel another post coming on!) drinks, fun easy summer food, music and of course....friends!

But there is a biiig difference between "Hey come over an chill" and "Hey I'm throwing a summer night shindig"...and that difference is decor (um hello? of course). Oh and hi..boys? that does not mean plastic chairs and a boom box. Candles and hanging lanterns are the quickest, shmanciest and least expensive way to up the ante to make a summer night party into a Mid Summer Nights Dream!

There is nothing more chic and understatedly glam than a few lanterns hanging from..well anywhere. We uber heart them hanging from trees and overhangs.

Here are some of our favs of the season and hopefully you will agree ;).

These great Z Gallerie (lurve this place for accessories!) white lantern stakes are perf if you are lacking trees or balconies or anything to hang a lantern from.

Dig these into the ground or a DIY sand bucket, throw a tea candle in and tada! Cuteness and mood is achieved!

OMG how beautiful are these paper star lanterns?

So whimsical, so intricate and beautimous! There is no way that a party won't be transformed into a quiet (or not so quiet) bash with a few of these hanging around at different heights. They are perfectly eclectic enough to go with any decor or party style.

This quiet dining table would look super boring with out the help of these cute oval lanterns...

They just bring it up a notch and give it style and flair.

Wow, the delicateness of these beautiful glass lanterns (for lack of a better word) from our fav store Anthropologie is on another level.
They are feminine yet not girly, romantic with out being too sweet. Hang these from an awning, or a tree, or opened umbrella at different lengths and you will shock yourself at how glamorous your party will become.

Just one of these grand metal Moroccan lanterns will totally transform your space. They do not command a ton o' attention but yet they do...weird right? They are striking and chic and will absolutely go with any decor.

They are even best served when they are not paired with a Moroccan or Indian vibe. They will make a traditional space sing...

OK, here's the reason for this post..while we have always hung lanterns at all of our parties..when we saw these gorge fabric ones from India Rose we just about died (in a good way).

They are so unique and cozy looking. So pretty without being too fancy..but uberly striking!

So, when we were about to click on the link to them we were a tad nervous at what the price would be..and guess what? We were tickled pink when we saw it... super reasonable and under $50!!!! Yuppers... you'll see some of these at our next bash (whenever that is...I have super good intentions)

Now the standard of hanging lanterns but never to be out done or overlooked... the OG but perfectly perfect outdoor mood lighting... the round paper lantern.

These come in every shape and size from everywhere and each one is beautiful, delicate and just totally creates and amazing mood.

These great orbs are from the one and only, home away from home, Target. These are a touch pricier than the ones, say at Cost Plus, but they are RTG and a bit better quality.

These are not ones to throw away after 1 use.

Oh gosh... I can just see all of these hanging from the trees...AHHHH... can't wait to drink under the stars and enjoy the romantically chic lighting!

P.S. This "mood" lighting is perf for making your skin flawless!

Now all you need are some fairies flying around serving sangria!
