This is the season of giving special and meaningful gifts to the people we love the best! I have pulled together a list of my favorite things! Included are thoughtful and fun ideas to nourish the mind, body and soul!

The Pocket Cathedral

The Pocket Cathedral is a beautiful gift if you are looking for a gift for the spirit. Inside are over 100 heart-searching prayers, scriptures and meaningful quotes to nourish the soul. Following is a review from Amazon: It’s as if you have stepped into a beautiful sanctuary. Turning the pages brings the scent of votives and the brush of angels’ wings. The Pocket Cathedral is a gift of prayers, scriptures, and quotes that shine serenity and light into the corners of your heart to bring hope, inspiration, and consolation. Pages to be read with your family, friends, or in times of sacred solitude. Proceeds from each book sold go to help kid’s fighting cancer this Christmas. Happy to sign, wrap and mail with free shipping! You can purchase The Pocket Cathedral at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, Parnassus Books, or signed copies on my website.

The Hope Box

There is no greater gift than to give hope to another, especially when they find themselves braving a difficult season. I created The Hope Box as a way to nurture and lift another’s soul. It is a beautiful treasure chest of prayers and meaningful quotes, calming tea and honey, a prayer cloth, a beautifully-scented and calming aromatherapy oil, and a candle. It’s amazing what happens when we believe we have hope. I would like to encourage you to gift some hope this Christmas so I am offering a Holiday discount of 15% off every Hope Box before Christmas! Place your order by December 15th and Santa will wrap and ship a Hope Box for you or someone you know could use a little extra love and hope this Christmas! Or visit White’s Mercantile in Nashville, Franklin or Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee and take home a box. All proceeds from The Hope Box go to Memorial Sloan Kettering in honor of my son Charlie.

Home by Another Way by Barbara Brown Taylor

Barbara Brown Taylor is one of my all-time favorite spiritual authors. She has just published her first children’s book just in time for Christmas.Trust me, the message is exactly what you and I both need to hear this Christmas.

Angel Wings Leather Bracelet

I discovered these hand-made leather bracelets at an Art Fair in Jackson Hole, Wyoming this Summer. I gifted one to my mom and five sisters. I wear mine every day!

Nespresso Pixie Expresso Maker

Cheaper than a plane ticket to France! I go to bed at night looking forward to my European coffee in the morning! Extra bonus is George Clooney gives it the thumbs up! I also love the Nespresso Milk Frother for the perfect almond milk cappuccino.

Angel Painting

Everyone needs their own angel to guard over their house and heart. You will spy mine right when you walk in the front door! You can custom order your own angel oil painting for yourself or for someone you care about. Reach out to Karen White at 864-706-8702 or follow her on instagram @karenwhiteart.

Kitchen Towels

A dear friend introduced me to this amazing community for adults with special needs called Friend’s Life. Their motto is, “Everyone deserves a place to belong.” They open their doors and provide a sacred and fun place where these remarkable adults can come and laugh, learn, and pursue creative outlets. I absolutely love their hand-painted kitchen towels. I use them everyday! All proceeds go to supporting the community! Email me as I have the last of their supply for this season. I have offered to wrap and drop in the mail to you. I am happy to text you colors! It’s a great teacher’s gift!

Herban Market Olive Oil

Always on my Christmas list is a bottle of high quality olive oil! I have recently discovered an amazing resource, The Herban Market, in Franklin, TN. I really love this place and especially the owners, Matt and Ashley and their kind staff. They are super knowledgeable about all things healthy! This is my go to place for the best curated selection of vitamins, supplements, recipes, smoothies, organic produce, body products, candles, vinegars and olive oil! In January, they will be opening their highly anticipated new “farm to table” restaurant! You can reach them on Facebook or drop them a line at 615-567-6240. Tell them I sent you!

Omorivicza Miracle oil

I love gifting products that I use and love. The Miracle Oil by Omorovicza is one of my favorites. Omorovicza was started by a Hungarian prince and his young American wife. Together they created these amazing products using the Hungarian thermal waters from Budapest, championed for over 2 millennium for their healing properties. I especially love the oil in the winter. All products are paraben and silicone free. Either order their gift box online or visit Private Edition in Nashville and ask for Carmen!

Charlotte’s Web CBD Oil

The perfect stocking stuffer. Hemp oil just might be your secret weapon for keeping your cool through the holidays. It is a natural supplement great for aches and pains, mood and anxiety, normal stress, and sleep. There are even early scientific studies showing positive results in fighting cancer.

Astier de Villatte French Heart and Love Plates

I absolutely love this one-of-a-kind hand-made French pottery company. I have visited their store in Paris and it’s pure magic. Every piece is hand-made and speaks to the imagination. I especially love their theme on love and hearts.

Christmas Angel

Last Christmas, this was my favorite gift for my friends and family! These gilt wood Christmas angels are extra special. You can either visit Color at 2104 Crestmoor Road in Nashville or call at 615-269-3471 and they will wrap and ship them out to you before Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Love, Farrell
