A month or two ago, a group of my girlfriends and I got together for dinner at a favorite restaurant. We were lucky enough to score their private room, which means we got to be as loud and boisterous and we wanted.
It was so nice, most of all, to find time to gather and celebrate with the ladies I love during such a busy time of the year. The food and wine were wonderful as well (thanks, Olivier!). But I won't lie. The fact that we all brought a favorite thing to share with all the girls was so fun and I want to do it every year from now on.
I don't know about you, but I'm always wondering which new fantastic beauty product or Trader Joe's item my girlfriends have recently discovered, and this party was the perfect way to find out.

So much fun! Every year - I agree. :)

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great idea! Do you bring enough for everyone?
ReplyDeleteI am totally doing this this year! Switching my cookie exchange party for favorite thing(s).
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea. I am definitely tucking this one away for a future little party
ReplyDeleteLovely idea!! And ok... I might have to seriously move to SD now ;) If you come visit Seattle though, we can do a much pared down 'favorite things' dinner :) XX
ReplyDeleteLove it. Did you set a price limit? Were there any "rules"?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I am definitely passing this along to my girlfriends :)
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering about the guidelines too... Love it!
