I am pleased to announce that Guide to the Good Life will be launching an online shopping forum very soon! As a convenient service to the readers of this blog, this new venture is in conjunction with Amazon.com and will feature many of the products featured on this blog. If you already have an Amazon.com account, it will work with Shop the Good Life.

Just in time for the holidays, the shopping forum will feature a wide range of gift ideas and gift lists for the variety of people in your life: the home chef, the traveler, the aspiring sommelier, and more. We’ve basically done the shopping for you, all you need to do is pay for it (sorry, we can’t do everything for you, haha). Many items will also include free shipping.

Keep posted dear readers, we will go live with Shop the Good Life in just a few days.

Great home entertainers like to surprise their guests with little details along the meal’s journey. Much thought is especially put into the beverage consideration of the night. The after meal drink is no exception and should never be an afterthought.

Blooming Tea Flowers are the perfect choice. Served in clear pots, the handwoven tea leaves unfurl into beautiful floral bouquets that taste as impressive as they look.

Serving this tea is also multi-functional. As a centerpiece of conversation, guests watch as the host prepares the exotic drink and the flower comes to bloom. Quite the parlor trick for your overly boozed holiday guests.

Also makes an excellent hostess or holiday gift. Blooming flower tea sets can be purchased at our store, Shop the Good Life.
