How’s your holiday baking going? If your annual shortbread
and fruit cake seem a little stale, don’t fret! We’ve found some fresh and
festive treat recipes that are sure to sleigh this season. Leave these sweets
out for Santa and you might even get an extra gift – or two!
Marvelous Macarons
– These peppermint macarons look almost too good to eat. We say almost, though,
because they are absolutely worth eating. Light and sweet, they make the
perfect holiday treat.
Image via Studio DIY
Beautiful Brownies
– We are loving these festive little brownies. A simple squiggle of green
icing, some sprinkles, and a candy cane combine with the always delicious
brownie to make a fabulous Christmas tree. These are sure to be a hit at any
holiday get together!
Creative Cookie Cups
– Most of you have had a cookie with your hot chocolates, but have you ever had
a hot chocolate that is a cookie?
These desserts are absolutely adorable (we’re big fans of the pretzel handle)
and are sure to delight any child (or child at heart) you’re entertaining!
Sweet, Sweating Snowman – These snowman cookies are so cute, and a breeze to make! A Dollop
of white icing, a peanut butter cup, and some sprinkles make one very
convincing Frosty. Strapped for time, but want to wow your guests? These guys
will do!
Image via Kitchen Meets Girl
Cool Christmas Trees
– These Rice Krispie Christmas trees are fantastic (and could make the perfect
prop for your Elf on the Shelf). Surprise friends, family, and neighbors with
this sweet treat all December long.
Perfect Peppermint Bark
– Not sure what to serve your gluten-intolerant guests this season? We’ve got
you covered. This peppermint bark is delicious and gluten free. Just because
you can’t have gluten, doesn’t mean you can’t have fun!
Egg-cellent Eggnog Cookies
– Finding festive vegan desserts can be a little tricky. Everywhere you look
recipes seem to be calling for eggs and milk. Especially when it comes to eggnog inspired treats. So when we found these vegan eggnog cookies we had to
share them!

We hope these treats add a little extra sweetness to the
rest of your holiday season. Don’t forget to share your best baking shots with
us on Instagram and Twitter – we love seeing what you create!

What’s hot and what’s not when it
comes to holiday gifting? Fashion Designer and Style Expert to Mall of America,
Christopher Straub says it best, “shop local for the most fun and unique
gifts. Not only are you supporting hometown talent but you also can learn
more about the creator and get their story of who they are and why they
designed it.”
At Kansas City’s Holiday Boutique, discover beautiful, custom-made gifts by local artisan designers. These unique, artist-inspired creations and artwork can’t be found anywhere else!
Coasters to Coasters (Booth 228) - This Kansas City-based, mother-daughter team brings you beautiful and unique tumbled marble tile coasters that feature original photography of city and university landmarks. Their coaster collection features iconic images from Kansas City and surrounding areas, St. Louis, Wichita, the University of Kansas, the University of Missouri, and Kansas State University.
TYPOGRFX (Booth 330) - Custom word artwork, designed from scratch in an array of formats including gallery-wrapped canvases, luster, burlap and wood prints with standard and reclaimed barnwood frames; wood photo boards; metal prints; and keepsake blankets. From start to finish you get to choose the words, colors, style and other custom options for artwork that is truly unique.
Savory Addictions (Booth 818) - Gourmet, high-quality nuts (Cashews, Almonds, Pecans, Brazil, and Macadamia) smoked over real wood and hand-coated with all natural spice for the most sophisticated palates, with no preservatives.
Sapahn (Booth 702) - A handcrafted collection of leather handbags and wallets, silver jewelry, silk and all-natural scarves beautifully crafted by artisans in Thailand. Founder and Local, Brooke Mullins connects the two cultures while creating sustainable jobs in their villages that preserve cultures and traditions. The artisans extract natural color from various tree barks, then mix in mud minerals found at the bottom of a local pond to create exquisitely colored pieces.
Treasure by Shantrel (Booth 57) - Licensed Esthetician, Shantrel concocted an all-natural skincare formula that won’t leave skin irritated with a sticky residue, but instead with a soft and smooth finish. What began as “kitchen chemistry” in her home, later evolved into a complete line of products, including lip balm, foot scrub, and hand and body lotion.
Tommi Crystal Designs (Booth 125)—A fun selection of handcrafted, jewelry that can be created right on the spot for a custom piece. Tommi creates original pieces in her home studio using sterling silver, semi-precious stones, pure metals, and glass.
White Wind Vineyard (Booth 44) - Locally processed, aged, filtered, bottled, and labeled wines crafted to award-winning perfection.
Unique O’s (Booth 612) - Quality, handmade children’s clothing and accessories, baby blankets, pacifier clips, children’s jewelry, placemats and apron’s, sun hats, infant car seat covers, boys ties and many other children’s items made with a little bit of sass and flair.
Grace Art (Booth 601) - Fully customizable, hand-painted canvases of inspirational and personalized sayings and quotes.
Crooked Creek (Booth 1000) - Made from beads, earth substances, antiquities or fibers, each watchband from Crooked Creek is handmade with no two alike. Strong attention to detail and design, make these pieces exceptionally beautiful and unique.
Electrified Cooks (Booth 104) - Slow cookers are popular for dinnertime; however, rarely do people use them for desserts. Slow Cooker Cake Mixes are distinctive and unique, original recipes developed by two local cookbook authors. The Electrified Cooks started their careers in the test kitchen for RIVAL, the local company that first introduced Crock Pot slow cooker to the world. Since then, the Electrified Cooks have been perfecting their recipes for over 30 years.
Heartshine Jewelry (Booth 1307) - Genuine Swarovski crystal jewelry, placed with brass settings purchased from Israel. Vintage Swarovski details are frequently included in each design.
Joy’s Favorite Things (Booth 1219) - Joy uses quality silk, bamboo, cotton, and other fine fabrics combined with handmade dyes to create original scarves, ponchos, and shawls. The dying process so unique it cannot be duplicated, therefore purchases are limited to one to three items.
Jule’s Bling (Booth 210) - Handmade jewelry designed and created with only the best materials—from enameling, metal smithing, wire, and semi-precious stones.
Sticky Spoons (Booth 1230) - Locally hand-selected and picked Elderberries and Sand Hill plums grow are processed into juice to make small batches of jelly, kettle style. Quick bread mixes are made from scratch recipes with locally grown wheat flour.
The Diana Collection (Booth 301) - Geologist and Designer, Diana Abitz handcrafts one-of-a-kind necklaces and earrings. Hand selected stones, fossils, shells and pearls, which are often uncommon, are uniquely assembled to show off Mother Nature’s bounty.

From
October to January the holidays are in full swing in Kansas City. Though it is
Blue October in our beloved city, Fashion Designer and Style Expert to Mall of
America, Christopher Straub has all the latest trends and colors for the season
at the 2015 Holiday Boutique - from what to wear and serve at a holiday party to
home decor - here is your holiday guide for fall to winter.
What's in for styling your home for the holiday season?
“When it comes to getting your home ready for the holidays, do what makes you happy. The holiday season is all about warmth, family, and traditions, so I say make it your own.”
Nothing says family and togetherness like the traditional holiday portrait. However, just because something is traditional, doesn’t mean it has to be typical. SPC Portrait Art doesn’t just create one-of-a-kind photographs, they create and capture memories you can display as art in your home. What better holiday decor could you have for your home than your family’s smiling faces? Styling your home for the holidays just got a bit easier!
What are the ultimate must-haves for hosting a holiday party?
"Holiday parties are an essential part of the season. When hosting, offer an abundance of food and drink options, keeping those who have food restrictions and prefer non-alcoholic beverages in mind."
Smart Cookies are chewy, gooey, dunkable cookies that are undeniably homemade. From chocolate chunk to oatmeal, white chocolate and craisins to chocolate-dipped peanut butter, and buttery shortbread, there is something for all of your guests to enjoy! Best of all, Smart Cookies candies, cookies, and treats are made from-scratch with no mixes or preservatives, which makes these treats the smarter way to indulge during the holidays.
What to wear for a holiday party?
"Shimmer and shine are always in style for a holiday get together! Break out those sequin dresses and glimmering gems. Opt for festive colors and polished metallic - save the black and white for New Years."
Stay warm and light up the room with designer boots from Crystal Boot Persuasions! Each pair of boots is custom-made with Swarovski Crystals that are meticulously placed by hand. And with multiple colors and styles to choose from, these boots are perfect for the season in more ways than one. Just check out their new line of collegiate themed boots (ahem, football season anyone?). Want the ultimate conversation started for any holiday party? Head over to Crystal Boot Persuasions. These boots were made for talkin'!
Holiday gifting: What's hot? What's not?
"Shop local for the most fun and unique gifts. Not only are you supporting hometown talent, but you can also learn more about the creator and get their story of who they are and why they designed the item you want."
Frankie and Jules offers a combination of the latest trends in women's apparel, featuring casual classics and unique, eye-catching styles with affordable price tags. Great for saving a little moolah while finding the perfect gift for a friend, co-worker, family member, or any fashion-forward person in your life!
Styling the holidays doesn't have to be hard. All of Christopher's finds and so much more can be found at the 2015 Holiday Boutique. With Christopher's fresh holiday tips and the latest trends in style, home decor, jewelry, and gourmet food all in on convenient location, you can handle the holidays like a true fashionista!

Not all of us have the space or time to throw 4th of July parties, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be celebrating come Saturday. Will
you be a party goer instead of a party thrower this weekend? Don’t forget the
hostess gift! If you want to skip the traditional bottle of wine and surprise
your host with a unique, homemade gift, we have got you covered.
Think you shouldn’t DIY because there won’t be enough time?
Think again. The gifts below are super easy to make and come together quickly.
Check ‘em out and see which one your host will love most.
Patriotic Planter
– Don’t bring a bouquet, bring a real plant. And deck that plant out in the
most patriotic planter you can. This sweet craft will add to any 4th of July
party and thrive for years to come. If you’re worried about whether or not it
will actually thrive because your host is not a “plant person”, put a cactus in
your planter.
Image via Hands Occupied
Sensational Serving Spoons – We love the idea of bringing serving spoons. From burger and hotdog toppings to pasta, potato, and actual salads there is usually lots to serve up at any 4th of July get together. So let your host have a little fun with their utensils and surprise them with these ombre cuties.
Image via Say Yes
Thoughtful Throw Pillow
– This sweet burlap pillow would look perfect on the porch or in the house, and
we’re sure it’ll be brought out for many Independence Days to come. It is the
most complex craft on our list to make, so if you aren’t a comfortable sewer,
we’d suggest giving one of the other projects a try. That said, if you’re happy
using a thread, needle, and bobbin, this pillow really comes together nicely.
Image via The Red Headed Hostess
Creative Centerpiece
– All you need is rice, food coloring, mason jars, and candles for this simple
craft to take shape. These fun candles can be placed all around your host’s
party and will add to the atmosphere and festivities. What could be better?
Image via The Krazy Coupon Lady
We hope these homemade gifts bring a smile to your host’s
face and help make your 4th of July all the more special this year.

Can you believe Father’s Day is this Sunday? We’ve been
sharing Father’s Day gift ideas for a few weeks to help you prepare for the
special day, but we know they might not work for everyone. If you aren’t a
DIY-er, but would like to surprise Dad with something homemade this year, why
not cook him a delicious breakfast? We’ve compiled a list of simple,
Dad-friendly breakfast recipes that are sure to delight. Check ‘em out below
and show Dad how much you care by making his morning.
Perfect Pancakes –
Using a squeeze bottle filled with pancake batter to spell out DAD? This is one
super cute idea! It’s easy to do and such a fun way to show Dad this day is all
about him.
Image via Betty Crocker
Egg-cellent Egg Cups
– If you think these breakfast bites look delicious, you’re right. If you think
they’re hard to make, you’re wrong. Throw a little black forest ham in a muffin
pan, crack an egg in it, bake, and you’re good to go.
Image via The Comfort of Cooking
Cool Cake – If
your Dad loves bacon and beer, (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?), then he’ll love this cake! Vanilla cake mix and
frosting, beer, bacon, and a waffle iron come together to create this towering
treat.
Wicked Wookiee – Is
your Dad is a big fan of Han, Luke, Leia, and Chewie? Freak out he will when you
surprise him with this delightful donut.
Image via Just Jenn Recipes
Mighty Mix – Can’t
decide what to cook for Dad? Try making a whole platter! With a hearty mix of smoked
salmon, eggs, bacon, prosciutto, English muffins, and more you can’t go wrong!
Image via AO Life
Breakfast Burrito
– Burritos are normally a mix of rice, beans, veggies, guacamole, salsa, and
sour cream, and while they can be eaten for breakfast, they’re usually saved
for a later meal. However, this wonderful wrap is perfect for breakfast. Eggs,
steak, cheese, and hot sauce are the perfect morning combo. We’re sure your Dad
will eat it up.
Image via Food Network
Playful Pizza –
This is another type of food that’s usually reserved for a later meal (unless
you’ve had a particularly long night). Again, some minor substitutions have
turned it into a delicious breakfast feast that your Dad will flip for. He won’t be able to resist a slice!
