You can also never go wrong with a restaurant gift certificate.
Tanji featured dishes from Field and Tides on the show. They are located in the Houston Heights.
Last-Minute Gifts
Think something as simple as a cute flower arrangement.
Tanji took these Paperwhites and repurposed them in old silver pieces or fine China teacups.
She also suggests a great wine opener, like this Joseph Grace Brands Perfetto Corkscrew, only $5 at Kuhl-Linscomb.
These coasters from Bierfilzl are another great stocking stuffer from Kuhl-Linscomb. Derrick and Courtney are fans of these coasters, too!
Finally, a local company has a fix if you happen to over-indulge this holiday season. Cheers Restore offers products that promise to help you feel better after drinking.
Prepping the holiday table
Tanji has a few tips to remember when setting your table for guests.
1. Think simple and sentimental. Incorporate family photos, traditional ornaments, small items grouped together and individually placed at a place setting.
2. Color outside the lines! Play with nontraditional color schemes by using items you already have napkins, placemats, even scarves.
3. Add a touch of nature with pine cones, garland and flowers.
