It’s time to get the holiday gift giving started!  

Yep they will be here before you know it so lets get those lists going and start spreading the joy because Santa’s Comin’ to Town!

This weekend I attended the first event of the holiday season hosted by The Daily Kitchen, Hug Wine and Alex and Ani.

Myself and 20 of my blogging gal pals gathered together to kick of the holidays by previewing Alex and Ani’s Holiday Collection.

We took photos, tried on bangles…..

…dined on some delicious savory treats from The Daily Kitchen (I SERIOUSLY recommend the Avocado Toast YUM YUM YUM!)….

…and sipped on my new go-to holiday cocktail, Hug Wine Sparkling Wine Cocktail–  this is a perfect holiday drink.

It’s not champagne, it’s not prosecco, it is something completely unique.

Just sweet enough, light, easy to sip and only 100 calories a glass!

#Holla!

Because ’tis the season I wanted to share three standouts from the collection that I think are ideal for gifting!

The Peace Set sends positive vibes this season, the perfect holiday message!

There is just something Fa la la tastic about this set.

I must have tried it on 5-6 times throughout the event.  Super chic, fits perfectly on the wrist and really gets you in the holiday mood.

It makes me picture snow on the ground under a starry sky.

The Believe Set is another of my top picks.  What better wish can you give someone than the wish to believe.  When you believe, you remind yourself that anything is possible.

When you believe in the good of life, all is merry and bright.

Alex and Ani is known for stackable bangles and these last two are the perfect pairing.

The Champagne Cheers Set stacked with the Candy Cane Charm Bangle.

These two are EVERYTHING.  I took like 40 photos of these bubbly pieces because well… I’m OBSESSED.

The Champagne Cheers set is comprised of three Cheers worthy bangles complete with a “Cheers’ Charm- who doesn’t feel good when they Cheers….

….and The Candy Cane Charm Bangle makes you feel even better… for this bangle Alex and Ani partnered with Give Kids the World Village, a 79-acre, non-profit resort in Central Florida that creates magical memories for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.  For the sale of each bangle Alex and Ani donates 20% of the purchase price to Give Kids the World Village.

It was a great morning kicking off the holidays with blogging, sipping, snacking and laughing.
