LAST-MINUTE-GIFTS…THAT LOOK ANYTHING BUT
Over the last three Christmas seasons since opening Plume, my hubby has learned it’s going to be a bit difficult for me to focus during the holidays. He kicks it in gear and does the majority of our Christmas shopping. Yes, he’s a dream-boat and I’m so thankful he’s mine. I love finding him unexpected gifts and don’t mind spending a little bit more when I find one that is JUST perfect.
Do you have someone special that you like to spend a bit more on for Christmas Gifts? Your spouse, significant other, parent…or maybe a group gift for a boss? Here’s some last-minute “splurge” gifts that will look like you planned them all along! They’re handmade locally and all available at Plume!
{Ladies, please feel free to forward this on to your MEN!!!}

Project 1818 Framed Prints
