Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas

This year has been challenging to say the least. One great thing that may come from this strange year is a real and deep appreciation for our normal way of living. Looking forward to our post-Covid way of living to see what it will bring. Not all has been difficult for me, I for once have enjoyed the full time presence of my hubby and son and I have really loved having them both with me all the time.

I know that many families may find having their family around all the time overwhelming, but I don’t. I love spending time with my hubby and son and Covid has given us no choice and the opportunity to do so. I just wish my other side of the family could also be here with us, but because of travel restrictions we will need to be remote this year. I’m also deeply thankful for the opportunity of starting Julie and Ev in the middle of this upending year. It was a long time dream of ours to share our worldwide finds with everyone who may be interested and combining our travel experiences with beautiful home aesthetics is a win win for me.

Belle Vivir Gift Guide: The Complete Gift Guide for Everyone on your List

What is everyone agreeing on this year…? It is the unusual holiday season this year brings. During 2020, we have all collectively experienced the most appalling year in generations. I say that should be more of a compelling reason to give the right gifts to those we love and care about. In a year that has kept us apart from our near and dear, let’s let them know that they are still in our thoughts as well as in our hearts.

Here is Belle Vivir most complete gift guide for everyone of our family and friends. From the host who will for sure appreciate one of the chic gift sets from Julie and Ev to the kids in the family who can certainly used a laugh while playing with their new Squeakee the baloon dog. Here are our best git ideas for those you love.
