1. Date Night

This past semester has been rough, so take some time off and relax with your special someone. Purchase these items for a perfect movie night cuddled up by the fire place.

Delicious Red Wine- Picks: Artifakt & Sayanca

Cheese & Fruit- I have absolutely no idea which cheese actually goes with a red blend or malbec, BUT what I do know is that you can't go wrong with cheese & fruit. I mean who doesn't like cheese or fruit?! It's easy to buy and you can make it as complicated or as simple as you want.

Chocolate- Now if your special someone doesn't like cheese and fruit (weirdo) grab some chocolate for the evening. You both deserve it!

2. Lunch with Friends

Until last night you completely forget you had invited everyone over on Saturday afternoon for a lunch. You are absolutely freaking out because you are broke but you still want to be classy. What to do?! Here are 3 things to automatically save the day.

Crisp White Wine- Picks: Flirty Bird & Crystal Creek Cellars.

Fresh Salad- Keep it fresh and light with a large salad that is not only easy to make but delicious.

Cupcakes- You tried keeping healthy with white wine and salad, so you might as well indulge by buying some cupcakes. Everyone will appreciate the gesture.

3. A Holiday Party

If your family is hosting this year, it can be safely assumed you have aided in cleaning the house and planning this year's festivities. Here are some options to make for this year, that will have your mom and dad saying THANK YOU!

A Bit of Bubbly- Picks: Arosa & Chiare

Fancy Finger Food- First, let's talk about how adorable these are. Secondly, these are so simple! You could make these an hour before the party with no problem.

Festive Treats- Throw away those "normal" treat recipes for the holiday season! Rather, make something yummy and adorable to make all guests smile.
