By the Fire

When we were looking for a bigger home in Del Ray, one thing we both insisted on was a fireplace. My two favorite spots in the house are the front porch for the spring and summer and the fireplace in the fall and winter. We have a solo stove, so we also do a lot of fires outside.Fires make me feel relaxed and I love to get cozy around them. Some of my favorite things include cozy blankets, warm drinks, delicious candles, and of course, fun loungewear. These blankets by BIG LOViE are amazingly soft and so well made. The company also has a program called Share the Love... for every blanket purchased, they donate one to a child in need of warmth and love. 

Blankets, $190 each

 I love these firesticks by Tops of Malibu. They are a best seller every holiday season. Of course, I always take one home too. You put it in your fire and voila! Rainbow flames. Definitely adds a fun twist to the firepit.

Firesticks, $24

 One of the best parts of sitting around the fire is warm drinks. I'm a huge fan of hot buttered rum, so I knew we had to have these mixes in the store. Another good one is this Smoked Maple Sour Mix. 

Buttered Rum Mix, $22.50; Smoked Maple Sour Mix, $18

 These all-natural soy wax candles are some of my favorites in the store right now and come in fun holiday scents: Pumpkin Coffee, Hot Cocoa, and Bah Humbug (smells like a Christmas Tree). 

Candles, $22 each

 We also have a lot of choices in the way of loungewear, hats, gloves, and scarves. Stay warm and cozy, friends!
