This holiday season, I was inspired by a friend's reference to a "favorite things" white elephant party, so I decided to put together some "favorite things" gift baskets for family and friends we will be visiting over Thanksgiving! These include everything from lip gloss to salsa to pizza kits! I added a few items (not in their gift baskets) of random holiday items I have stumbled upon recently...All great gift ideas! I did not include shopping links for most, since these items should be readily available from your local stores...
Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving to all!
