This summer we were often the guests at our friend’s vacation homes — what a treat for us!  I don’t like to show up empty handed and I love to take a selection of items from The Michel Design Works line.  Take a look at some of my favorite housewarming and hostess gifts to give.

The Michel Design Works brand is spectacular with their presentation of beautiful home decor products, as well as natural bath and body products.   The line is also affordable, so any mix of their products make wonderful gift sets.

Here are combinations for Sea Life, SeaShore and Seashells.   These 3 styles are appropriate for when you go stay somewhere near the ocean or lake — or even if you know your host/hostess loves the water.  (Sea Life and Sea Shells are also my favorite candle scents.  (Candles are hand poured, soy, nontoxic and clean burning.)
