For the co-worker

For the geek girl

Geek girls are always fun to shop for. Anything techie with a splash of color will do the trick. For instance, this iPhone charger from Etsy is not only colorful, it’s personalized too. The cord is 10 feet long, so that’s really helpful! $25 from Etsy.

For the hostess

A great gift for the hostess of a party can be a drink! How about one that’s free of calories, sugar, sodium and gluten?? Cascade Ice is a sparkling water offered in a variety of flavors. This season, take a pack of Cascade Ice (or prepared cocktails!) to share with the hostess, and everyone can enjoy guilt-free drinks!

Holiday flavors include Cranberry Pomegranate (used to make a Candy Cane-tini), Pomegranate Berry (used to make Pomegranate Punch) McIntosh Apple  (used to make a yummy Apple Cinnamon Sparkler). Click here to find Cascade Ice near you.

Creating a gift basket full of goodies will delight the hostess as well. Pack some customized napkins from Etsy, baking supplies, cookie-mix packets and include a few tasty holiday recipes.
