Happy Friday! We are in the final stretch, and I am thinking about fun and festive gifts- mostly red & green and definitely whimsical.

I feel that no matter how organized I am, there is always one (or two) gifts that I forget to purchase. Amazon to the rescue! I selected a variety of items that will make perfect presents for the teacher, nephew, neighbor, or friend who slips through the cracks. It also can’t hurt to order some…

Meet Me
Welcome to Whit & Whimsy- a lifestyle space I created to share my favorite books, beauty buys, fashion, and more. I post about trusted products I love, items I lust after, and treasures I give as gifts. Expect to hear about the latest thriller read, maxi dress, simple meal, and best new mascara-- and there will always be a touch of leopard print, and a monogram or two. I hope to connect with readers by offering inspiration and suggestions through content that is classic, chic, shoppable, and a bit whimsical.
