DIY House Shaped Coasters by Speculaas
Oh coasters. They’re such a fun little gift to add your own personal touch too.
And aren’t these sweet house coasters by Marloes such a perfect housewarming gift? I love that they look great on your coffee table and are so simple to make. I also love that you can do so quite inexpensively with these trivets from Ikea.

No More Vanilla Gifts Campaign by eCreamery
eCreamery is an online gourmet ice cream and gelato shop that let’s you customize your ice cream gifts. You choose the flavor combinations, the crunchy or chewy bits, the packaging, even the name, and send it right to the door of your recipient.
Custom Ice Cream & Gelato Gifts from eCreamery
While that’s undeniably deliciously awesome, the cherry on top that has me falling scoop over cone for eCreamery is their hilarious No More Vanilla Gifts campaign. They’re taking a stand against vanilla gift giving which they claim, “can lead to tragedy, embarrassment and shame.”
