Decorating the tree has always been an epic part of the holiday season growing up, and now with my husband, it’s something we savour each holiday. Christmas trees are significant to us – Roberto made one for me and proposed in front of it, and we always get a new special ornament each year that signifies another year gone by.

This year, I’m all about giving that little piece of tradition to my friends! My hostess gift, or take away party gift, is a pretty ornament with a little hand written tag. It’s such a nice way to gift a memory and I love the idea that my friend will hang something on their tree year after year. How’s that for sentimental?!
