Onyx and Marble Chess Set
The classic game of chess just got even better! This chess set is from Mexico’s Sierra family and is entirely 100% hand-carved from warm brown marble and translucent onyx. Plus, the added soft backing on the game board ensures it won’t scratch the table. When you play on this absolutely handsome set, you’ll feel like you’re living in luxury.
Hand Tooled Leather and Mohena Wood Magazine Rack ‘Songbirds’
I’m always looking for ways to keep my home more organized and this beautiful rack would be not only helpful, but absolutely stunning to look at too! “Songbirds twitter softly on leafy branches in an idyllic Andean portrait. Embossed on burnished leather, the cheery motifs grace a handmade magazine rack. Oscar Pastor crafts the piece from wood with two handy compartments to organize reading material. A handle of turned mohena wood carries it from room to room.”
Necklace and Bracelet Set with Cultured Pearls ‘Precious Dream in White’
There are some styles of jewelry that will never go out of style and pearls is one of them! This set is absolutely breathtaking and the perfect finishing touch to your next special occasion outfit. Thai artisan Matta designs the set of necklace and bracelet, which are both secured by hook clasps of rhodium-plated brass. Petite cubic zirconia stones accent the clasps.
Pastel Green Throw Blanket with Fringes from India ‘Mint Beauty’
I love the look of a beautiful throw draped over the sofa and this pastel green offers the perfect pop of color to brighten any room. The pastel colors of mint green, blue, eggshell, and dark taupe are carefully woven together in beautiful harmony throughout this comfortable throw blanket, made in India. Pursuing her passion for textiles, Seema designs this blanket, adding knotted fringes to the ends for the perfect finishing touch.
These glasses are so beautiful! “This dynamic design is part of the Novica Handblown Collection. It’s a set of six highball glasses, crafted with traditional blown glass techniques in which artisans blow through a metal pipe while twirling it with one hand. They simultaneously shape the molten glass at the other end while expertly achieving a swirl effect in aquamarine and white.” These 13 ounce glasses are remarkably consistent in size and weight, and each is absolutely breathtaking.
I’m so happy with this glass set as they are so unique and truly brighten up our table setting. They are solid, sturdy, and thicker than the typical glass so they keep the liquid in side colder longer.

Tell me, which of these gift ideas do you love the most?
I’m a city girl turned country by my awesome husband and we have three busy boys and two darling daughters. I love spending time with my family, reading Karen Kingsbury novels, and catching up with friends while our kiddos have play dates. I’m blessed beyond measure and can’t wait to see what God has in store.
