Bailey McCarthy is a design blogger (see Peppermint Bliss) store owner (see Biscuit) and decorator. Her colorful, whimsical and preppy decor ideas are brilliantly happy – it is no wonder she has been featured in decor mags galore. For Bailey, the holidays bring to mind warmth, thus here are her Warm & Toasty picks for a joyful gifting season.
What is your favorite thing about the holiday season?
That delicious smells, cozy time, and booziness become high priorities. Also, I am experiencing my first Christmas with a three year old child who totally gets it, and I highly recommend it. If you have access to a toddler, Christmas with them.
What is the worst gift someone has given you?
My high-school boyfriend gave me a pen. I was hoping for jewelry, or a promise of his undying love – not something that said “welcome to the firm!”
Who is the hardest person to shop for each year?
Elizabeth Anthony
My mom! I always think I nail it because she is so sweet and always acts excited, but then this year I stumbled upon a gift closet stocked with my past efforts. Womp Womp. I am determined to give her something she won’t want to re-gift this year!
