We know a white elephant gift exchange is not a competition, but let's be honest here. We all know that deep down, everyone wants to give the gift that everyone else ends up fighting over . And that is what we predict will happen with th…
After putting together a list of ways to help the first responders and victims in the California Camp and Woolsey wildfires , we knew right away that we wanted to start collecting gift ideas that help support and give back to first respo…

Summer means picnics, and picnics mean wine! Well, okay -- picnics mean an awful lot of good things, like family and fun and memories and sunshine. But for you wine-drinkers, a nice Rosé or Prosecco can have its own special place in a pi…
For all those wine-lovers out there (ahem, like me), we're entitled to toast our momentous new mom wins. With some celebratory vino and a high-five, right? That’s where these hilarious Mommy’s First Motherhood Milestones Wine Bottle Cove…
Some days are just...yeah. That. You know what I mean. And maybe a glass of wine will help, or maybe even an empty one --at least if they're these fantastic Rough Day Wine Glasses . Come on, you know you want to laugh. They're like the p…

Knowing how to make mulled wine is at the top of my holiday season skills list, along with pie making , gift wrapping , and secret keeping. (I score 2 out of 4. Can you guess my failures?!) Mulled wine is one of my favorite winter drinks…
You’ve planned and prepped for your Thanksgiving meal and then suddenly you remember: wine! (Or is that just me?) I generally drink wines I like, no matter what’s on the table--I’m easy that way. The Thanksgiving challenge is that there’…

I love a good glass of wine any time of the year, but especially during the summer months. There's something about sipping a good rosé on a picnic or starting dinner with an effervescent, chilled dry Lambrusco that brings out the wine lo…
Our neighborhood pool has a strict no-glass policy, which is why I’m excited about the portable wine bags from Wine2Go. I get that glass, concrete and bare feet are a dangerous mix, but relaxing by a moonlit pool after a long day while m…
Coffee to wake up with in the morning. Wine to relax with at night once you've sung your last lullaby. Luckily, this mug is perfect for the yin and yang of beverages. Of course, this adorable mug from ChantillyStay on Etsy wouldn't work …
While there's something to be said for sipping wine out of those big red keg cups in the summer, I admit I always feel a little fancy when my Albarino is an actual wine glass. Unfortunately, if you're picnicking, glass isn't going to cut…
