It’s November - the holidays are here! In the blink of an eye we’ll be forced to have gifts for all the loved ones in our lives - or else. But what do you get for the person who has everything? You can’t go wrong with something personal when shopping for someone you care about. That’s just one reason why we love handmade boutiques like those found on Etsy, Pinterest, and Instagram, because they offer a little something for everyone.
According to Pinterest, there are a few themes that have been popping up in search engines this month - many of which are for the new homeowner or anyone really that plans to be home for the holidays. We thought it’d be helpful to share some of the trends so continue reading to find out what they are.

Comfort Food
Searches for comfort food like this Busy Day Soup are up as well. Who doesn’t need more comfort food in their lives, especially around the holidays? Here’s a gift idea: you can print out this recipe on some cardstock and include the non-perishables along with a pot in a gift back. That’s one for the cookbooks :)
