As part of our holiday celebrations at Nicola’s Homes, I have decided to post 25 days of gift ideas from the boutique—our Advent Calendar 2010. If you wish to purchase any item(s) from our 2010 Advent Collection, please phone us for payment and shipping information at (207) 899-3218.
The first day of December: your Thanksgiving guests have returned to their homes, the leftovers have been consumed and now it is truly time to contemplate Hanukkah and Christmas. If you’re like me, December 1 is the start of a whirlwind of shopping, decorating, cleaning, cooking, traveling, partying, caroling, playing and wishing. And if you’re like me, it all seems exhausting at first.
So—for our first day of Nicola’s Homes Advent 2010, I’m encouraging you to take today for YOU. Choose any indulgence—a massage, an afternoon nap, a cashmere sweater, Christmas cookies for lunch, anything that restores and rejuvenates you for the merrymaking ahead.
Our Relaxation Basket is one of several luxury themed gift baskets prepared at Nicola’s Home for giving, or for getting. One of my favorite things in this basket is a cable-knit sachet of lavender that can be microwaved to soothe away stress. I also love the gourmet cocoa with peppermint swizzle sticks and the divine milled Swedish soap.
From scented candles to handcrafted treats to beauty and bath, this basket tells the person who receives it that their wellbeing means everything.
