The Merc's Favorite Things for December.

This December we're feeling inspired by après-ski vibes. Whether you're hitting the slopes or hosting your in-laws, sometimes a few small touches can make a world of difference. 

Our favorite Alpine Rich Cream from Ursa Major is the perfect for deep moisturizing after a day in the snow, and the Alpine Heritage Cardigan from The Normal Brand may just be our go-to layering piece for the Winter. Prefer sitting by the fire? Entertain yourself (and your guests) with minimal effort with the Giddy Up Tabletop Horseshoe Game from Brass Monkey.

Once you're ready to settle down with an evening cocktail, the Gatsby Tumbler from Viski is perfect for a crisp Gin & Tonic. 

Finish out the evening by lighting a candle (the Moschus from C.O. Bigelow is our fave), curling up with. the CozyChic Throw from Barefoot Dreams, and journaling the days events in the Penco Notebook from Sweet Bella-- we love the plastic flex cover that's total spill and snow proof! Finish off the evening with Magnesium Body Butter from Roots & Leaves to keep those aches and pains away. 

(Finally...if you happen to be sharing a bathroom with guests over the Holidays, these Dedcool Red Dakota Poop Drops are a must. Say goodbye to chemical bathroom sprays and embrace these vegan drops that boast a seriously luxurious scent experience.)
