Grace Girl Picks: Kate

It's our fourth day of Grace Girl/Guy Picks, and we're still going strong with lots of great ideas for the holidays.  Grace Girl Kate has picked out a few items that would be perfect to have on hand at a holiday party, whether yours or a friend's.  So whether you're planning in advance or making a pit stop before your party, we've got you covered!

Pinch Provisions Minimergency Kits

Pinch Provisions Minimergency kits: $26 each.

"A must-have for nights out - you'll be emergency-proof!" - Kate

It doesn't seem possible that something this small and adorable could be a major lifesaver, but these tiny little kits pack some serious punch.  Each Minimergency kit comes in an adorable monogrammed bag (available in OMG, WTF and BFF) and contains a whopping 52 miniature must-have items - plus refills!  They've got the basics, like lip balm and hairspray, but they also include things you might not think of beforehand - you know, those things you don't know you'll need until you need them - like earring backs, garment tape, and dental floss.  They truly are a party-goer's best friend.

Shannon Martin napkins & coasters

Shannon Martin: Set of 20 napkins, $8.  Set of 24 paper coasters, $12.

"A great way to get the laughter rolling at your holiday party." - Kate

When you think of party conversation starters, napkins and coasters are usually the last things that come to mind.  In fact, they're probably the least interesting things you'll find at a party.  Not so with Shannon Martin's products, which have had Grace customers chuckling since they made their debut.  Each set features a retro photo with a hilarious caption - for example, "Santa, my wish is for a fat bank account & a thin body.  Please don't mix these up like you did last year."  With ten great designs to choose from, you'll have plenty of cheer to spread around at your next party.

FunkyChunky snack mixes

FunkyChunky Pretzels and Chip-Zel-Pop: $15 each.

"I dare you to open one up and not eat the whole thing - it's addicting!" - Kate

Quick - what's your favorite snack food?  More than likely some of you thought popcorn, chips, or pretzels - and we're willing to bet that quite of few of you had chocolate on the mind.  Here at Grace, we have your dream come true in the form of FunkyChunky Pretzels and Chip-Zel-Pop.  The pretzel mix is a delightful combination of pretzels, chocolate, caramel, and pecans - and as if that weren't perfect enough, Chip-Zel-Pop brings all your favorite snacks together in a heavenly blend of potato chips, pretzels, popcorn, caramel, and chocolate.  Serve it at your own party or give it as a hostess gift - either way, you're going to make people very happy.  We will say this, though: if you manage to transport it from Grace all the way home without eating even a little bit, it will truly be a miracle.

Don't forget to look for the Grace Girl/Guy Picks signs in our store to make your holiday shopping a cinch - and check back tomorrow for day five of our favorite things at Grace!
