										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Week 2 of Stagetecture.com&#8217;s and HowToMakeABurlapWreath.com&#8217;s 3 Weeks of Christmas #Giveaways! Last week I gave away holiday entertaining products from my Burlap and Succulents <a href="http://bit.ly/holidaychristmasgiveaway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">holiday shop</a> here. Congratulations to the winners. If you&#8217;re still looking for creative ideas for your holiday home, I invite you to visit my shop!</p>
<h3>Week 2 &#8211; My Favorite Holiday Gifts Guide #Giveaway</h3>
<p>This is Week 2 and I&#8217;m excited to share some of my favorite gift ideas. In November I became an #AmazonInfluencer where I can curate my favorite products for your home, lifestyle, leisure, pets and more and share them with my readers.</p>
<p>What I love about the holidays is giving to others and I think Amazon has made everyone&#8217;s lives a bit easier over the years, don&#8217;t you think? I remember a few Christmas seasons when Amazon was the only way I could fit shopping into my busy schedule and help me find gifts that I would&#8217;ve spent weeks driving around town looking for. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m so excited to pair with Amazon and show you my favorite gift ideas to save you time too!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy Holidays! <strong>Holiday entertaining</strong> has to be one of the best parts of December. This is my favorite time of year as it gives us all a chance to look back over the past year and celebrate our friends, family and give back to those we love. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa or you just love entertaining I have created the 3 Weeks of Christmas to give you ideas for entertaining, decorating and crafting during the holidays.</p>
<h3><strong>How are we celebrating? With the 3 Weeks of Christmas!</strong></h3>

<p style="text-align: left;">Whether they are held at work or at home, they set the mood for the holiday festivities. One way of making guests feel appreciated for attending your party is by giving them favors. Presenting memorable gift favor ideas are a great way to start off the season of giving. There are many places you can buy gift favors including the internet and local stores. Even though you can purchase Christmas and holiday invitations and party decor anywhere, we love the idea of supporting Etsy shops and helping the small entrepreneur!</p>

<h3><strong>Yummy Party Favors for Christmas Party Treats:</strong></h3>
<p>If you are on a tight budget or simply love to bake, give cookies as Christmas party ideas. They are probably one of the least expensive gifts you can make and package. With just a small amount of money, you can stretch the baking ingredients and create dozens of cookies. A holiday cookie platter is a practical gift as many people bake for their families throughout December. A cookie platter can also be passed on with goodies as a new gift. If you work in an office where people frequently take coffee or tea breaks, consider getting instant coffees or teas as gift favors. Hot cocoa also makes a good Christmas party favor. It comes in lovely packaging in a variety of flavors. If you have a business, get chocolate candies or candy bar wrappers with your business’ name and tagline for your guests.</p>
<p>How delicious do these look from Etsy Shop &#8211; Sweet Chamber? Yummy bites of chocolate and rocky road? Delish!</p>

<h3><strong><span style="font-size: 1em;">Christmas Party Decorations:</span></strong></h3>
<p>Who doesn&#8217;t love pretty Christmas party decorations to jazz up the mood? Whether you love decorative straw, cupcake and cake toppers like these from Etsy shop &#8211; Confetti Day, they will be the talk of the party! These pine cone gold and silver straws would be great for New Year&#8217;s Eve too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/490785655/christmas-party-pine-cone-silver-and"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-84549 size-full" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/holiday-entertaining-decorative-straws.jpg" alt="holiday-entertaining-decorative-straws" width="570" height="463" srcset="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/holiday-entertaining-decorative-straws.jpg 570w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/holiday-entertaining-decorative-straws-300x244.jpg 300w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/holiday-entertaining-decorative-straws-60x49.jpg 60w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px" /></a><em>Image via Etsy &#8211; Confetti Day &#8211; <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/490785655/christmas-party-pine-cone-silver-and">Christmas Party Straws</a></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We also love their cupcake and cake toppers! How festive are they?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/253917732/christmas-tree-and-reindeer-cake-topper?ref=related-4"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-84551" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/christmas-party-decorations-cake-topper.jpg" alt="christmas-party-decorations-cake-topper" width="570" height="428" srcset="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/christmas-party-decorations-cake-topper.jpg 570w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/christmas-party-decorations-cake-topper-300x225.jpg 300w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/christmas-party-decorations-cake-topper-60x45.jpg 60w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px" /></a><em>Image via Etsy &#8211; Confetti Day &#8211; <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/253917732/christmas-tree-and-reindeer-cake-topper?ref=related-4">Christmas cake toppers</a></em></p>
<h3><strong>Christmas Decorations and Motifs to Set the Mood</strong></h3>
<p>Motifs that portray Christmas or winter are good holiday party favors. Choose white, green, and red combinations or even silver and blue for an overall winter theme. You can also get ornaments in the shape of snowflakes or reindeer. Your guests can pack these with their decorations and unpack them each holiday season. This way, they won’t require a permanent spot in their home for your gift.</p>
<p>We love the idea of using Christmas invitations as decor at your party too! These festive invitations from Etsy Shop &#8211; Lily and Val are whimsical with their chalkboard style and hand drawn appeal. I would place one of these at each place setting of my Christmas dinner party.</p>

<h3><strong>Christmas Gifts for Kids &#8211; Reindeer Food</strong></h3>
