a housewarming gift + current summer playlist
today i am excited to share a little housewarming gift i put together last weekend. two of my really good friends moved into our neighborhood- a two minute walk down the street. yay! beaming with excitement… bring on the house hopping nights. i decided to put together a small gift for them + a bottle of wine. this little basket was only $15 total and all collected around my local target store. on sundays i like to take long, romantic strolls around target by myself. it’s these things that makes motherhood so incredible. the little things matter so much more now. does anyone else feel the same?
wire crate: $3
chicken/sheep/cow towel: $3
plates: .99 each
straws: $1
clipboard: $3 {she just started her own business}
hand soap: $3
i think they loved it!
when i receive a gift, it isn’t about the price tag for me
but the thought and gesture
i also love these 11 hostess gift ideas from a cup of jo
my brother, alex, recently got me hooked on spotify
i am still loving pandora but have started to explore this as well
and i think i really like it

Wow, this is so pretty. Such a thoughtful gift.
The Lumineers have the best songs for the summer. Love them.
I'm gonna have to check out these other songs. I'm growing my Spotify list. 🙂
Thanks!

That looks like such a cute housewarming gift. I spy a lot of Target items, and you just can't go wrong with Target ;). I actually have that chicken, sheep, cow towel and LOVE it. You know I'm a snapchat fanatic, and I just added you. Thanks so much for checking up on me the past couple of days. Lastly, I totally think Spotify is the bees knees. I love that you can listen to the songs offline without using your data and there are so many songs at your fingertips. I haven't created any playlists yet though.

What a sweet and thoughtful gift. I love that the Target $ spot has so many cute and affordable items. It makes it really easy to put together affordable gifts.
Spotify is my fave. I used to be a tried and true Pandora girl but you can listen to whole albums on Spotify and you can customize playlists. It's awesome.
