It’s already the second week of December and the shopping window is getting tight!
As you head to the shops, let me share a tip to keep your bag organized while still toting all those coupon deals! I use old cosmetic bags to hold my coupons. Yep, even my oversized Bed Bath and Beyond coupons! And here’s a great tip about those…did you know that you can use them if they have expired? And you can use up to 5 coupons per purchase and even at Harmon stores! Seriously, don’t leave home with out them!
Getting back to our Feng Shui shopping guide…this week we tackle our shopping list for the Earth essence gal, the Peacemaker. She is the caring, helpful and sympathetic gal. She loves to nurture everyone but herself. She is reliable, supportive, nurturing and the one you call when you need to get the job done, or a shoulder to lean on. She is traditional, sentimental and most likely the one to host holiday dinners and bake that classic apple pie! Her style can be described as conservative, comfortable and classic.
Two thoughts to keep in mind when shopping for the Earth Peacemaker Gal: memorable and keepsake.
These fabulous table cards are a great ice breaker for entertaining at dinner, cocktail parties or hosting networking events. They’re small so great for storage and easy to bring to a party.
How about the classic rolling pin for that fabulous cook on your list. Give her something special! Remember the Earth gal puts everyone first so she may love to cook but never update her cooking utensils. This is the perfect memorable gift for her with the added special personalized touch “Made with Love” for “her name”! Now how special is that?!

A Personalized stoneware casserole dish is a perfect way to say thanks for all the times this gal has filled your belly and your heart. Check out this one they have for pie. Ideal for the cook who is always bringing a dish to share. With her name on it she will never lose it!
Gifts for herself! She may kick and scream but consider gift cards, to the spa, nail salon or an activity she’s dying to do but never has the time or money. Or better yet, give her a gift she has to do with you to force her to do something for herself. What about a girls night out at the movies with snacks and drinks to enjoy the show?
The Earth Peacemaker gal would really appreciate a homemade gift basket. She will value the thought and time you put in thinking about her!
I’m not a fan of the pre-made ones, but a homemade basket with a recipe book and fun, unique foods she doesn’t buy for herself. Mix and match foods and gift cards to places like Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Fairway, William Sonoma, Teavana (for the tea lover), etc.
Stayed tuned for our final essence in the Feng Shui shopping guide – the Metal Perfectionist gal. I know you have this girl on your list!
