Holiday Gift Guide - OC Styles Review & Giveaway




I enjoy making my own gift baskets for Christmas out of odds and ends I collect through the year like candles and beauty products. But I always have a hard time finding just the right right way to package them. Its hard to get things to stay orderly in baskets and I usually get frustrated and just toss them all in a regular gift bag. But those are flimsy and tend to rip too easily. Well, OC Styles has the perfect solution.




OC Styles creates beautiful holiday bags that are perfect for gift giving of all kinds, or even for carrying goodies while visiting friends and family. Its sturdy enough that you can load it up with until its overflowing without having to worry about the cloth material tearing. Its even strong enough to carry wine bottles. But even more important is how beautiful they are. They come in a variety of festive designs and you will be able to use them again and again.




If you are looking for unique gifts to put into these lovely bags, OC Styles also offers handmade aprons, coffee & tea cup holders. business card holders, lovely clutch bags and more. All of their items are handmade so each one is a unique, one of a kind treasure.  Buy five or more items and you will automatically receive 10% off your order!



In honor of the holiday season, one lucky winner is going to receive a $20 gift certificate which can be used to purchase anything in the OC Styles Etsy Shop.

I don't do many gift baskets (though I really should because it's a wonderful idea), but I love this Etsy shop. My favorite item is the Key Fob-KeyChain/Mini Wallet set in Pink Bohemian Damask. I keep my keys on a long lanyard, but would love having something smaller that I could wear on my wrist (rather than killing myself by having them around my neck). The matching mini-wallet is adorable, too.

I love all your holiday gift guides - especially since you start so early! Every other year I have to have half my presents wrapped & ready by Thanksgiving, so you give me plenty of ideas just in time! Thanks!
