There’s nothing like the face alight like a child’s on Christmas morn. But, oh, my, I’m pretty sure with the right gift my face looks like that too!

The Holiday Celebrations 2012 eguide, is the ideal blend of gift ideas and holiday entertaining. The guide has beautiful photographs and nuggets of information on everything from decorating to fashion.

I am tempted to just e-mail the link for the #HolidayGuide to my husband as there is no way he can get it wrong this year if he has this to help him. It’s so easy even a husband can use it! From right inside the holiday e-guide you can click on the links that interest you and it takes you directly to the site!

I’m actually pretty easy to please, and my regular readers will know that I would be quite pleased with a bag of Starbucks Holiday blend coffee that’s available at Sams Club that’s featured in the guide.

Coffee has actually been a traditional gift that usually comes from “my daughter”, even though I know my husband is really the one that goes out and buys it! Every year opening my ‘coffee gift’, I still get an impish smile on my face! There’s nothing I enjoy more than a good cup of coffee in my memory mug that I had made from some pictures that we took when we went to Gibraltar in 2010.

I also got a tip from a friend on Facebook to add a chocolate mint candy cane (Rachel from http://yellowtennessee.com/) to brewed coffee. She highly recommended to do so, and I’m going to try and find some on my next shopping trip and add it to a cup of Starbucks Holiday blend. And wouldn’t that be a great idea to package together with the coffee for a gift?! Since this blend is only available during the holiday season it makes it a special kind of gift for the coffee lover.

Holiday fashions don’t have to be expensive, and if you have children to outfit this season, you’ll want to check out the feature in the Holiday gift guide for Cookies Kids. From jammies to dress clothes and designer labels, you can dress them from top to bottom for up to 90% off retail. I so miss the days when I used to be able to dress up my daughter like this for Christmas:

Now the surly teen only wants to wear yoga pants!

While I like to think I’m fashion conscious, my sister would say otherwise (roll eyes here), so it’s a good thing that Audrey and Vera from Getting Gorgeous give the skinny on the fashion trends of the season. Apparently I should ditch these,

And go for something more like these,

But really these Rio Soul shoes are way more my style, I want these now – right now!

When holiday shopping using the Holiday Celebrations 2012 eguide you can also get exclusive savings right from within! How neat is that.

But here’s the lowdown, for holiday gifts the e-gift guide is a great resource that features different stores, brands and ideas for all ages this holiday season. There is SO much more than what I just mentioned, from other brands too like searsStyle, Tyson, Pepperidge Farm, Colgate, Nivea and OtterBox (I’ll need one of those for the new iPhone I hope to snag on Black Friday!)

Besides the fashion trends you’ll also find beauty tips, recipes, crafts and entertaining advice. All in one place.

Take a look through it, and if you can’t decide between all the goodies inside, just pass it on to all the people who buy you gifts! It’s simple; just click the envelope icon that appears at the base of the eguide to share on Twitter, Facebook or via email.
