I had so much fun putting my basket together.
I asked my Mom to go shopping with me and we found some cute little treasures all over town.
Most of you know by now that I love shopping at the thrift store.
You’ll notice a few of the gifts are in fact from my local thrift store.
I tried to keep it all leaning towards Christmas decor, with a side of cooking, and a splash of my heart :).
My Mom even donated the basket.
How sweet is that đ
Here’s mine(#7):

redheadcandecorate.com’s  “Christmas Wish Basket” includes over $50 worth of goodies!
Philips 60 count Twinkling Led Multi Mini Lights
These lights are my absolute favorite Christmas tree lights.
I’ll tell you my secret for a tree that stands out.
For our tree, we use colored non blinking lights.
I’m not a fan of blinking lights, but I started scattering these “Twinkling” lights on our tree a couple years ago.
What a difference they make.
I usually put them on at the end after the tree has been filled with the other non blinking lights.
They add just the right amount of shimmer with out being flashy.
Here’s a pic, although you can’t get the full effect without seeing it in person:
16 Mini Modern Ornaments from Target
I’ve always loved disco balls.
There you go.
16 of them!
All for you if you win.
Silver Green Glass Star Candle
While sifting through a table full of holiday decor at our local thrift store, this shined like a star.
I got it home, cleaned it up for you, and added a tea light.
Perfect for Christmas Eve.
2 Holiday  “Waffle Towel’s”Â
These jumped out at me at Target, and said, “Pick me! Â Pick me!”
They remind me of tea towels.
You could use these in the kitchen or bath.
Beautiful English Plate  w/ Vintage Butter Ball Cookie Recipe
Isn’t this plate is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S.
Guess where I found her?
Yup…the thrift store.
Once again, shocked @ what I find there.
This plate (or one like it because I bought 2, one for me, & one for you)
is featured on my Grandfather’s “Butter Ball Cookie Recipe” post found “here“.
I knew his Butter Balls would look beautiful on it with the red & white.
Hey I have an idea…how about you make some Butter Balls and put them on this plate if you win đ
I’m including his recipe for you.
I wrote it out the old fashioned way.
Heart Cookie Cutters
Speaking of cookies, I found some cute heart cookie cutters to add to your cookie cutter collection.
Oh, wait, you don’t have a cookie cutter collection?
If you win, this will be a great start.
I love the colors.
Tomato Pizza Cutter
I would LOVE one of these. Â I mean, is that cute, or what?
I should have gotten 2!
Every time you cut a pizza, you can think of redheadcandecorate.com  đ
That would be at least once a week at my house.
“Santa Spoon Holder”
Everyone needs one of these for all of the cooking that goes on around the holiday.
Even if you don’t cook, he’s still pretty cute.
“Burlap Snowflake Pillow”
Love burlap.
I found this guy at Target and it would go perfect on your front porch,
or on your sofa.
“EOS Lip Balm”
Have you seen the commercial where the lady bumps into the guy and then puts this on?
I was pretending to be her with my hubby when I first got one.
A must for stocking stuffers this year.
The mint is so yummy and refreshing.
I got my Mom one and she loves it too.
“Ball Jar Full of Love”
I filled one of my favorite jars with some of my favorite mint M&M’s.
I wish I had some of those now.
——
So, now it’s time for you to enter.
Good luck, and please don’t forget to visit the other blog’s baskets.
They are all so beautiful and generously put together.
My winner will be notified by e-mail after Dec. 8th.
Good luck!
