2017 Christmas Cards
It's finally time to reveal our 2017 Christmas cards! It was
a pleasure working with each of these clients bringing
their vision to life for their family.

Molly
The Christmas parties are in full swing. You're running around picking
up those final few gifts. You still have to wrap everything. Your pants
already feel tight from all the holiday goodies. AND, you don't know
what to wear to the next gathering. No? All of the above is just
happening to me? Ok, well, here's what I suggest for that casual
friendly get together that's probably taking place on a weeknight.
Throw on your favorite jeans and a cozy sweater. Make it more festive
with a pop of red or green (or both).

Cocktails
There's something about both this pastel pink and a deep
hunter green that I'm loving this season. It's an extra festive
choice that's not red, though I do tend to wear more red this
month in general (why not?). If you have fancy parties to attend,
think of the three texture trends this season... velvet, fur, and sparkly
sequins. If your outfit has one of the above, your sure to be the
belle of the ball.
Cheers!

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from me to you!
When it comes to designing Christmas cards, doing your own is the hardest task each year. I always love including a recipe on the back, and with the loss of my grandfather this year, it was an obvious choice to include his famous pancakes. Enjoy!

Introducing Coffee Cups
We are offering three different designs. The two lovely ladies above feature a
design on the front with "but first, coffee..." in the signature BFP font on the back.
The other design has java-loving girls wrapped around the cup. They are perfect for
the coffee, tea or hot cocoa lover!

Pipcorn
Pip, pop, pipcorn!
Y'all, have you heard of / are you obsessed with Pipcorn?? It's the cutest mini
popcorn with cute packaging and a handful of delicious flavors to choose from.
I'm not going to lie, I tried them all. I'm a huge fan of a sweet and salty combo,
bold and unique flavor. Try all four with the 4 pack or load up on smaller 100
tray: West Elm | "Parka" notecards | Pipcorn | popcorn containers: Target
(exclusively in stores - other cute bowls here)
Fill a stocking full, tie a small bag on the outside of a gift, host a movies &
popcorn night with your holiday favorites... what you do, try it! Or better yet,
spread some holiday cheer by sending a mini bag to a friend, neighbor, or
colleague.

2 Easy Holiday Cocktails
'Tis the season for eating, drinking and being merry!
Today we're bringing you two of the easiest cocktails that will surely make a splash
with your guests. Whether you're the host or simply being a gracious guest by not showing
up empty handed, these are two cocktails you'll want to have in your arsenal. Seriously,
they're are so easy (translation: they take about 5 minutes to throw together and have about
4 ingredients total).
They pass the taste test, the time test, and most importantly, the short list of ingredients
test. I have been wanting an excuse to use my fresh rosemary plant, and both of these
cocktails called for a garnish of rosemary!
I came across the first one while flipping through the Favorite Things issue of the O Mag.
Oprah always seems to kill it at all things Christmas, let's be serious. The only thing that
takes a little planning is freezing ice cubes in advance. They are what takes this one to the
ultra fancy (looking) Christmas punch level. I halfed the recipe below to simply make one
pitcher full.
pitcher: World Market | champagne flutes: World Market | tray: West Elm | "Eloise" notecards
2 bottles Prosecco (chilled)
3 C white cranberry juice (or white grape juice)
20 drops Angostura bitters
1 C fresh cranberries
Rosemary sprigs (for garnish)
In each section of a large ice cube tray, place a few cranberries and a cluster of rosemary leaves.
Fill with water and freeze about 6 hours or overnight. In a punch bowl, combine Prosecco, juice,
and bitters. Add prepared ice cubes and additional fresh cranberries to bowl just before guests arrive, and serve.

The next one popped up on my instagram feed as a sponsored ad and instantly grabbed
my attention. It screams cold weather with hints of maple syrup, a splash of something
sweet in the grapefruit juice and a Christmasy touch of rosemary as a finishing touch.
wine glasses: Pier 1 | "Mays" notecards | all photos: Catherine Truman Photography
4 parts Vodka (Grey Goose)
1 part organic maple syrup
5 parts freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice
1 pinch of sale
1 sprig of rosemary
Add the maple syrup, a pinch of salt, and a sprig of rosemary to a glass. Mash
the rosemary to combine the flavors. Top with the vodka and fresh grapefruit juice.
Serve over ice.
Cheers to the holiday season!

Handsome Gifts for Him
We're going to keep the gift ideas keep coming...
Today, we're switching gears to Handsome Gifts for Him. You can find this new
category added to our massive 2016 Gift Guide here. If he knows what he did,
maybe a bag of coal (also known as a soap set) will set him straight. If you're
looking for something more personal, we're obsessed with these city map
glasses. Don't forget, men need personal care items, too. To keep him looking
ever so dapper, throw a fresh mouthwash or Scotch-infused toothpick set in
his stocking; wrap up a sleek cashmere brush or sweater stone to keep his wools
winter-ready; tie a big bow around an updated hard-sided suitcase if he's always
on the go.
If he's more of a tech-guy, consider these noise-cancelling headphones something
you'll want to gift because (trust me) you'll want to borrow them for long flights!
You can't beat this cute electronics cleaning brush as an add-on.
Oh, but let's be serious, the easiest, most useful gift you can give a guy is a new
wrist watch. My favorite is a classic timepiece by Daniel Wellington. I have become quite
the collector... I'm obsessed with the simple, sleek face and timeless leather strap.
This is another one you want to gift because you know you want to borrow.
(You'll also find these on our A-Z Gift Guide under "W")
