2017 Gift Guide For Everyone!!!

It's never too early to start shopping for those holiday gifts!!! You'll stress less when you start early... Then, you'll be able to relax and enjoy the seasonal festivities when they arrive!!

It's no secret that the holidays can induce a lot of stress. Baking, shopping, crowds of people, more traffic, spending money, and deadlines, aplenty, can make even the calmest person a little on-edge. The key to dodging all of the craziness is to start early and plan, steadily. Shop when there's the least amount of people in the stores and lines; prep food that can be frozen, way ahead of time, so you have less to do when it comes time to make holiday meals; set up a gift list, early, and start as soon as you can, shopping and checking off your recipients, ASAP!

"The customer service and flexibility of Pinot's Palette was so great! Had a private party with a bunch of ladies and Jessica helped make our night go so smoothly. They really promote your creative side. I Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun night for a larger group. Not to mention, you're only a few mins. away from Uptown to go out afterwards!" - Jovy Cheam
