Serena & Lily is having their best sale of the year! Use the code THANKFUL for 25% off everything. Serena & Lily may be known best for that laid back California lifestyle look, but they have plenty of things to get your home all cozy for the winter. no matter where you live. 

The teak step stool is one of my favorite things. I gave it to my niece for a baby shower gift and since then I’ve had several friends buy them to use in their kitchen. Love it for its function as a step stool, but it could also be used as a plant stand. Serena & Lily has so many cozy throws and pillows that would make any style room a little more cozy. I’m loving all the neutrals.

Linen pajamas are a gift to give yourself or your mom, your sister, your friend…everyone would love a pair!

If you’re having house guests or you are the house guest, a luxurious set of bath towels would be the perfect thing to stock up on during the Serena & Lily sale.

I love the Sycamore baskets. Large in size and make a statement. You could line the larger one for a plant and the bowl like basket is perfect for magazines.

The Art of Simple Living is a book that I’ve seen at Terrain a few times. The book is all about living simply and how you don’t need a huge budget to create a beautiful home. I couldn’t agree more! The book features eight actual case studies.

We have one of each of these diffusers. The Vitruvi diffuser is porcelain and $120 and the other is plastic made to look like wood for $20. I love them both.

A new Yetti water bottle. I love my Yetti coffee cup and I think it’s time to upgrade my water bottle. My current bottle occassioanlly leaks and since it’s often in my bag with my computer…I really need one that is leak proof. Doesn’t everyone on your list? 

For Madeline, a lunch bag and containers and a pack of scrunchies make the perfect stocking stuffers.

I love these ceramic bubble-up soap and brush set to keep at your sink. Or the classic German made wooden dish brush from Redecker. 

Doesn’t everyone on your list need a new pair of scissors? I love mine! Only $2o!

Almost everyone could use a new charger like this one from Rejuvenation. Everything at Rejuvenation is 20% off!

Time for a new gym bag? Can’t go wrong with a classic for only $32 (regularly priced at $45).
