Here’s some fun home finds you can personally use to add a bit of “spring” to your home. These also make great hostess gifts or presents for whatever occasion. Everything’s affordable at $20 or less.
Love these Spring pastel votive candles. You get 8 candles for $18.95, less than $2.50 each and they each burn for approximately 4 hours.
How cool is this? This Garden in a Bag ($10) comes with everything you need to grow fresh herbs, flowers, vegetables or fruits right on your window sill. Over 30 different choices, including cat and dog grass and they grow right in the leak-proof bag.
Add a pop of color with this functional but decorative watermelon cutting board from Target. It’s perfect for preparing and serving fruits, veggies, cheeses, etc. And when not in use, it looks cute on a counter or hanging on the wall. Target has several fruit/veggie cutting boards to choose from. This one is $14.99.
Small touches can refresh a room. Love this Sunshine Pillow that not only adds color but has a fun message. $14.95 at paper-source.com
This Seed Keeper, $19 at uncommongoods.com keeps all your seeds in one place. Easy-to-label envelopes, helpful gardening tips (like when and where to plant those seeds,) and beautiful illustrations. I think this would make a fabulous gift for anyone with a green thumb (or help someone to develop a green thumb!)
Most people know I’m an animal lover and I do like to “spoil” our cats. If I had a dog, he/she would be getting a spring treat too. Pet Smart has several different sizes of this Peep bunny squeak toy ranging in prices from about $2 to $7.
You don’t have to have a green-thumb to enjoy these Rose Condiment Bowls. Perfect for entertaining. You get 4 bowls that nestle for easy storing. $14.99 for the set.
Charming accent for your table, this porcelain bird salt and pepper shaker set is only $5.99 and white goes with pretty much any color theme your kitchen or dining room is. I personally like having multiple sets of salt and pepper shakers for when we have large groups gathered around the table and scatter them around so no one’s having to reach too far.
We recently posted an article on gluing magnets on the back of spice jars to easily store them on your fridge. If you don’t want to go to the trouble, these Magnetic Spice Storage Tins from World Market are perfect. Different colors to choose from and they are ONLY $1.99 each! Stick them on the fridge for color and easy access.
A very simple way to add some flair to your dining table is with napkin rings…these pretty dragonfly rings are on sale for $3.96 each at Pier 1 imports.
