The holidays are always a stressful time with family coming to visit and parties to be planned. Though, choosing and buying gifts is really exciting and easy with Canadian gift baskets. The Listia app relieves the stress of holiday planning at the touch of your fingertips!  You don’t have to be rich to stock up for your holiday season this year. Users exchange Listia credits – not real dollars – to process transactions, so you can gather credits from selling old baby clothes and bring home an Xbox for the holidays. Listia is an easy way to regift any gifts that may not have been what you had in mind, it is a convenient way to simply trade a gift for what you really want. And, since 1 in 3 Americans are looking to declutter around the holidays, anyway, due to additional visitors or just new year’s resolutions on the horizon, Listia is an easy and efficient way to get rid of junk you’d otherwise throw away, and get some new holiday decorations or gifts to for the holiday season.  

If you sign up with the link provided, you will receive an additional 250 points plus the typical 1,000 points they give anyone who signs up.

#GiveBakery  because is a great way to give a nice DIY host or hostess gift right from the local supermarket bakery.  With simple creative packaging, a baked good can become a personalized (and delicious) gift.  It’s simple, easy and affordable—no baking required!

The bakery department can also help you create the ultimate holiday hostess basket too. A gift basket will give the hostess a much needed planning break and offer him/her goodies that they can enjoy the next morning for breakfast or brunch. For example, the holiday hostess basket could include croissants and cinnamon rolls from the bakery department and a jar of jam, champagne and orange juice…and maybe even a magazine for a little extra morning entertainment. What you choose to include in the basket is up to you.Hi Res Cupcakeseaster eggs in basketHi Res m&m

Visit the Give Bakery Because Pinterest page for more unique gifting and packaging ideas,  Check out your grocer’s bakery to find delicious treats and items that you can creatively personalize and give as gifts. 

I found all this for $26 at Target!

I made one basket with morning bakery goods and then had the other basket done with treats including a set of DIY gingerbread men for a family activity. 🙂  

One reader will win a $25 gift card to purchase goodies.  This giveaway is open to those with a US mailing address, 18+.  It would be great if you could use the gift card to purchase items from the in-store bakey, create your own holiday gift, and share it on Pinterest with using the hashtag #givebakery.  The most creative gift ideas will be share on http://www.pinterest.com/bakerybecause!

Curious Cork Wines feature a variety of wines from Italy that would be great a DIY Host/Hostess gift or for any wine-lover. Seiano wine is noted as being intense with a bouquet of violets and not fully ripened cherries.  It is warm, dry, with a nice rear acidity and smooth tannins.  Source:   http://paoloenoemiadamico.it/en/azienda/seiano_rosso.php

    HarleyWomensharleymen

Harley-Davidson Gifts – These are holiday-themed gifts, as well as great other Harley-Davidson-themed clothing and items for gifts and stocking stuffers for the “baddest” person on your list. I’m saying that there are “tough people to get for” and there are “truly tough people to get for,” these gifts are for the truly tough….ha. (Gifts like HD gloves, wine tags, holiday stockings, ornaments, stainless steel mugs, etc.) http://www.harley-davidson.com/shop/gifts
