And keep checking back for more chances to win as new Favorite Things are added.

I adore wreaths of all sizes and shapes and especially those that include my favorite flowers and look lifelike. This Nearly Natural Peony Wreath has my name written all over it! I love the combination of the vibrant peonies in full bloom and as buds along with the different berries and greens. Perfect to brighten a room during the dark winter months.

It's a generous 24" and arrives in perfect condition to enjoy for many years. Well-priced at $52.01 from Wayfair.com.

Who says you can improve on perfection? The heart of Red Door Aura is the same classic Red Door scent, but the addition of Raspberry, Bergamot, Orange Flower and Jasmine give it a lighter more youthful, how shall I say... aura! A refreshing change is good every now and again especially during the winter months. Uplift your senses with this beautiful fragrance for women of all ages. A 3.3-oz. bottle of Red Door Aura Eau de Toilette Spray retails for $65 at elizabetharden.com.

Wires and me do not get along which is one of the reasons I LOVE the IDAPT i4 Universal Charger. The IDAPT i4 allows you to charge up to 4 different devices using one electrical outlet. It's compatible with over 4,500 devices and it's compact, sleek design looks great on a desk. No more unsightly, mmisplaced, or annoyingly tangled wires. $60 at idaptweb.com.

We've seen a lot of these wrap bracelets, but this Black and White Crystal Hemp Wrap Bracelet by Iristy is the prettiest and the best priced we've found so far. Each jet and ice crystal bead is handsewn to the single strand bracelet with button closure. I was able to wrap it around my wrist 6 times without having to open the closure. It's lightweight, comfortable and the alternating series of jet and ice shimmering beads is stunning against the brown hemp cord. $23 from Iristy.com.

COOKIES!!! Is there anything better? I don't think so! Harvard Sweet Boutique cookies and brownies are moist, chewy, and soooo scrumptious. Whether for Valentine's Day, Birthday's, Anniversaries, Get Well, Sympathy, Thinking of You ~ whatever the occasion ~ their gorgeous gift boxes are filled with delicious fresh-baked goodness in every bite. Pictured here is the Deluxe Sweetheart Gift Collection chockful of yummy brownies, cookies and toffee. Treat yourself and someone you love to a little bit of heaven. $66 at harvardsweetboutique.com.

Don't you want to stay in your pj's all day long during these freezing cold winter snow and ice storms? It never fails though someone always stops by. You won't worry about getting caught in your pj's if you're wearing this Eye Candy Henley Lounge Set. The pretty pink top is baby soft and the black drawstring pants are medium rise and very slimming. A LOVE graphic in pink adds the finishing touch. So comfy and chic, I call them my LOVE pj's. Made from a cotton-poly blend, the set is also available with a black top. Available in sizes S-XL for $91 at PJSalvage.com. 

This mirrored compact tea light holder {far right} from Party-Lite is so charming and perfect for a vanity, dresser or night table. Take it along on a romantic weekend get-away. We love how the light softly flickers off the mirror. It holds a large Forbidden Fruits tea light. We tried Partylite's new fragrance, Kiwi Kiss ~ a sweet blend of ripe kiwi, mouthwatering citrus and exotic papaya ~ delicious!

One of our favorite watches is this Men's Brown Croco by GUESS. We love the rose gold and brown leather combo and rugged sporty design. Very handsome! It's water resistant to 100 meters and includes a 10-year limited warranty. We found it at Macy's for $150.

Handrafted in 100% cotton and quilted with bamboo batting. For a special touch, Crafty Stitches offers complimentary embroidering of first name or initial. $34 at craftystitches.com.

My hair has a mind of its own, it's unruly to a fault. evo is one of the few lines that I've found that can control it and The Great Hydrator Moisture Mask is a lifesaver. Part of evo's calming line, if it can calm my dry, damaged, frizzy locks it can do wonders for you too. I use it once a week after either The Therapist Calming Shampoo or Ritual Salvation Shampoo. On the days I don't use it, I use the Therapist Calming Conditioner or Ritual Salvation Conditioner. The Great Hydrator Moisutre Mask retails for $25, the shampoos and conditioners retail for $24 each. Having healthy-looking manageable hair thanks to evohair.com ....Priceless!

Made of heavy creme-colored card stock, the set of eight cards and envelopes contain two of each stunning design. Ours arrived wrapped and tied up in a gorgeous bright pink bow. The boxed set retails for $28 at OfficeLuxe.com. 

Colonial Candle jar candles are so fragrant and are available in a variety of unique and traditional scents including Cranberry Cosmo, Autumn Spice Tea and one of our favs ~ Pumpkin Pie.
