5 Ways To Spread Christmas Cheer!

Good & Perfect Gifts may be your one-stop-shop for gifts of every season but during the holidays we like to share just a little bit more! Christmas is one of the most wonderful times of the year - an annual reminder to be thankful and reflect on the true reason for the season. We know you love spreading holiday cheer at Christmas time - that's why Good & Perfect Gifts hopes you find time to try one or all of these tips and enjoy your holidays to the fullest!

1. Surprise Someone With a Gift

Good & Perfect Gifts has something for everyone and every budget. Kids and adults alike, love to share a special gift with an unsuspecting friend or someone in need. Let us help you pick out a little something to wrap and secretly leave on someone's doorstep. Children will love to deliver small gifts to people they encounter during the day. Think, cashiers, restaurant staff, and Salvation Army bell ringers.

2. Make a "Giving" & "Getting" Wish List

Most people, especially kiddos, love to make their Christmas wish list. Consider suggesting a "Giving Wish list" in addition to the traditional, Santa list. When you focus on giving to others first, children will often get excited to spread holiday cheer through gifts of service, gifts to make, and gifts to buy.

3. Help Those Less Fortunate

Often, you learn the most about true giving when you give to those who can't easily give back. Prepare goodie bags for the elderly, the homeless, or for families with loved ones in the local hospital. At Good & Perfect Gifts, we would love to help fill your holiday packages.

4. Share Sweets From Sugar B's Cakes & Pastries

We would love to help stock you with goodies from our incredible bakery, located inside Good & Perfect Gifts. Grab some brownies, ooey gooey butter cake, or truffles and secretly leave them for your neighbors, teachers, or others. No one will be able to resist the ready-to-eat creations from Sugar B's Cakes & Pastries - don't forget to pick up something for yourself, too!

5. Pay It Forward

During the holidays and always, paying it forward is a wonderful way to spread cheer. Load up the family in the car and head for a food drive-through. After you pay for your own order, tell the cashier you'd like to pay for the orders of the car behind you. You'll love watching the reaction of the people you've surprised! The goal is that hopefully those families will continue the chain of cheer, further brightening the lives of others in our community.

It really is the most wonderful time of the year - and Good & Perfect Gifts is here to help you enjoy all the anticipation, excitement, and meaning of the season. Enjoy spreading Christmas cheer this year and don't forget to make a stop at Good & Perfect Gifts a holiday tradition as well! Our friendly sales staff is ready and waiting to assist you with any last minute holiday shopping you may have - see you soon, and Merry Christmas!

Table Settings and Centerpieces for The Holidays

Are you stuck in a rut, using the same holiday table decor year after year? Good and Perfect Gifts has more than great centerpiece material - we have advice for holiday decor enthusiasts! We know the value of setting a stunning table for the holidays and want to share some tips with you!

Showstopping Centerpieces

From natural and organic to over the top elegant, a well made and well placed centerpiece can wow your guests and create that cheerful, sophisticated statement you're hoping for. Do you have a rectangle table? If so, consider this: Instead of using one large arrangement in the center of your table, use more than one! Spread three smaller arrangements down the center of the table.

When you're setting a table, keep your centerpiece relatively low. You want to encourage conversation and allow your guests to visit and easily see each other.

Candles are a beautiful way to set a great festive tone and create a soft ambiance - not to mention, the smell! At Good and Perfect Gifts, you're sure to find the perfect holiday scent.

On tables where conversation isn't at stake, go bold! Use your more dramatic arrangements in areas such as the buffet table or gift table, if your event calls for one.

Table Settings That Stun

Dazzling table settings set that sparkling holiday tone. When hosting get-togethers for family and friends this holiday season, dress up a simple place setting - from kid friendly to elegant and sophisticated, eye-catching holiday table settings are part of what makes this season fun!

For a casual fall feel, use solid colors in your favorite palette. Maple leaves and pinecones blend well with ivory and beige colored linens.

Children in the house? A candy colored theme is a sweet way to spread joy near Christmas. Red, white and green are cheerful colors that help create that great mood children love! Use peppermints and candy canes tucked into bright bows.

Rustic elegance can be expressed by using different plates and bowls. Wooden and metal accents paired with cinnamon and evergreen needles will create that natural theme.

Do you prefer a simple chic look? Subtle seasonal touches, like sprigs of holly tucked into a silver napkin ring, can give a simple china setting sophistication.

A beautiful centerpiece and table setting is often all you need to create a festive table. Your friends at Good & Perfect gifts are happy to assist you as you create that perfect holiday table. Our shelves are stocked with unique holiday decor, treats, and candles...and of course, great gifts! We look forward to visiting with you.
