Happy Christmas!


Must See Holiday Film: "The Young Victoria"

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of “The Young Victoria,” as it came out in London over year ago…. and boy was it worth the wait! I have to say this film has been my favorite film of the year! It is the most romantic movie, Emily Blunt is flawless in her performance and Rupert Friend was a dream to stare at for 2 hours. It was so sweet in fact that I teared up through out the entire film. Definitely put this on your list of must see films over Christmas! You’ll LOVE it!





Great Last Minute Gift Idea

For those of you who find gift certificates simple and easy. Instead of giving a gift certificate to a restaurant, Be creative with the theme and write it out on a plain white or festive plate. (like shown above for a restaurant in Paris) Don’t forget to include the actual certificate. Happy Gift Giving Wives! – THE WIFE
