We have a couple of of these copper gratins and find that we have been using them a lot as of late. On top of that, we went out to a fabulous dinner recently, and all the main courses were presented in copper gratins !! The look was elegant and beautiful… and we just loved the idea.

Sooo…we’ve just ordered one of each size and may go back to get an additional one or two. They’re pricey, but we will use them often, and they will last forever.

Stay tuned for some recipes that we’ve spotlighted in these beauties.

Our shopping window is narrowing by the minute…and many of us have saved the most difficult (in some opinions) for last. What is a belle to get for the fellas in her life?? Well, here are some ideas!

For his royal “high”-ness as he lounges about…

…the most super-soft lounge pants you can find from Royal Highnies (and their boxers make great stocking stuffers, too!). Carried locally at Rush Wilson and other fine retailers!

For the fella who tends to be a bit retro…

This turntable

The perfect stocking stuffer for the beer-drinker…

This little gadget. Ya don’t have to be a Boy Scout to “always be prepared”. Just sayin’

For the beginning grill-master or the seasoned grill-chef…

A sleek set of grill tools

For the die-hard sports fan…

Stadium and arena blueprints from Uncommon Goods

More handy tools…

…from Uncommon Goods. (Hint, hint…these might be good for the belles, too!)

For the fella who struggles with decision-making…

This is just the thing one of us has needed for a son who struggles in this area!

For the whiskey drinker…

Even a whiskey-drinkin’ belle would enjoy the whiskey wedge!

For travelin’ in style…

…a Barbour travel kit

For the classic sportsman…

An H Goose watch is the perfect accessory. Carried locally by Pace Jewelers, P Squared, and Rush Wilson, so a little footwork will have you checking off your list!

Baby, it’s cold outside…

Perhaps he needs a little somethin’ to keep him warm! This Barbour jacket should do the trick.

Happy shopping, belles!

We’ve been sharing our gift ideas over the past few days…but today we have a very special edition of our gift guide. These gifts let you give…and give again! Read on…

Feed Projects provides meals to disadvantaged children all over the world. Founded by Lauren Bush in 2007, the project seeks to provide tangible goods (like these) that folks can buy…and profits go to provide school meals. Each product is stamped with the number of meals it supplies.

Our picks…this scarf…

The Harriet tote…

The original, reversible FEED bag…

Love Your Melon gives 50% of profits from the sale of these hats to pediatric cancer research. Our pick…

This charcoal “melon warmer”…

Thistle Farms seeks to heal, empower and employ women who are the victims of trafficking and addiction. Proceeds from these products go directly into supporting the path to independence for belles who don’t even realize how #belleringin they are!!

Thistle Farms Three Trees candle…

The Thistle Farms Jet Set…

Love Heals Every Body!

Sweet Beginnings makes the beelove family of products and provides assistance to men and women who are putting their lives back together after incarceration.

We think someone on your list will “bee” thrilled with these picks…

The nourish & smooth body cream…

Some honey for your honeys…

We are certifiably looney over our fur babies…so we “dig” any organization that helps other fur babies in need. Found My Animal supports pet adoption with belle-ringin products for adopted animals of all sizes and persuasions and their people.

This leash is perfect for our stylish outings about town…

And the waxed cotton dog bed is the perfect spot for Spot…

Peace, love, adopt.

The Giving Keys is an organization that inspires “paying it forward” and supports the homeless. When you give someone a key…they are encouraged to model the behavior on the key and give it to someone who needs it. Our picks…

Strength, Love and Courage…

And, of course, you might just make a donation to a favorite organization…local, national, or worldwide…in honor of those you hold dear. Some local Greenville organizations we have on our minds…

Jasmine Road…

…helping women in Greenville who are the victims of trafficking and addiction

The Hope Fund of the Greenville Humane Society…

The Cancer Society of Greenville County…providing HOPE to local cancer patients…

Peace, love, happiness and hope to you and yours this holiday season!!

This is the time of year that Sephora comes out with some awesome limited edition gifts and there are two in particular that we bought, love and are well worth the price! 

First in our cart is the Sephora Favorites- Give Me More Lip
This collection is $68.00 and is a $254.00 value. It contains at least five full size items and is chock full of high=end brands and a slew of great colors . Mattes, glosses, lipsticks and plumpers!


Pucker Power Belles!!!  Get it Here!

Next in the ole shopping cart is the Superstars – Every Day Must Haves…and they aren’t kidding! 

Again…we have several full size and great brands but most importantly every single thing in this package we either use on the regular already or have started using because of the package.  No joke!


And at $75.00 for a $224.00 value, y’all are more than getting your money’s worth.  Just sayin…

Available here

What we also like to do is break up the packages and use divvy them up as stocking stuffers or little extra presents for all the belles we love and adore.  Christmas is just 62 sleeps away!
Let the shopping begin!
