Every year around this season it surprises me—Christmas is only about ten weeks away. The holidays always seem to sneak up fast.
Anyone else suddenly realizing they aren’t ready?
(Or are you the kind of person who plans months ahead?)
Thanksgiving is just ahead, and I’m hosting dinner at my house. Once it hit me how quickly the season is coming and how little time I have to prepare, I started shopping online for a few items I know I’ll need for our home and table.
That’s when I found the most delightful animal-themed holiday baking pieces—measuring cups, measuring spoons, and a pie plate. Aren’t they the sweetest? I adore them. I’ve always been drawn to quirky animal designs and fun kitchenware, even though I don’t bake all that often. I also spotted some festive spatulas—so cute!
*Update* I discovered even more: Rifle Paper Co tea towels, mugs, monogram mugs, an oven mitt, an apron, juice glasses, a serving platter, a creamer, a sugar pot, a tea set, and a cookie jar. I’m officially obsessed.
Now I’m extra excited for Christmas.
With the holidays approaching, our annual Christmas shop will be going live here on The Inspired Room soon, so stay tuned. I think you’ll love the ideas and inspiration we’ve gathered.
And if you’re like me and want to check a few things off your list now, below are some of the best sales I found while shopping this weekend.
