Holiday gift ideas

This time of year Southern Living At Home(TM) is at its best.

Aah, the holidays! Time to focus on sift giving. home decorating, and party planning. But how can we prepare for the deluge without the usual hurry and worry or hustle and bustle?

Here's a novel idea. Just bring your decisions back home. There's something special about a party with friends and acquaintances in familiar surroundings where new home- and gift-related products are shared. It's nice to know one home-shopping source emphasizes the virtues of face-to-face interaction.

Southern Living At Home, a new direct shopping resource that was launched less than a year ago, is exploding with great results. A team of consultants across the country offers parties that showcase creative decorating ideas and accessories, along with hostess rewards, in the relaxed and informal setting of home.

"For more than 35 years, Southern Living has brought readers innovative ideas and information for adding quality, richness, and beauty to their surroundings," says Dianne Mooney, Southern Living At Home Executive Director. "Now with [this program], you can bring the pages of the magazine to life in your own home, honoring those same values. You will find each of our products is selected to celebrate life's simple pleasures, bringing warmth and beauty to living spaces all across America."

Just in time for this busy season, the Southern Living At Home Holiday 2001 Collection offers products that will help put you in a festive spirit. Building on the magazine's long-- standing tradition of quality, the items in this season's collection are designed by inspiring artists.

The selections are endless-from candlesticks and terra-cotta pots to tree trimmers and cookie cutters; from buckets, urns, and silver bowls to iron art products; from cookbooks, cake plates, and napkin rings to baskets, vases, and picture frames. And the ways to display these accessories are limited only by your imagination.
