Latte Lovers Bridal Shower + $25 Target Giveaway!

by

If you’ve been following my posts for Target’s “Be Yourself, Together campaign here and here, you know that I’ve been highlighting the unique differences each member of a couple brings to a relationship, and how they find common ground. One thing that both the couples I’ve shared have in common is a love for coffee. So what better theme for a bridal shower than Latte Lovers!

I love showers that have a theme, an interactive element, and of course wonderful gift ideas that go along with both! The perfect gift for this occasion? The Keurig Vue V500 Brewer! It comes with a 12 pack of various coffees and teas, and also makes hot cocoa, iced beverages and more.

 

For the interactive element, whip up some cupcakes and cookies with Caphalon Bakeware, and set up a decorating station with frosting, sprinkles, colored sugars, and more so your guests create their own sweet treats to go along with their lattes!

I hope you’ve enjoyed these ideas for a Latte Lovers Bridal Shower! Now for the giveaway.

Deer Needlepoint Cushion Kit from The Fox Collection

If you’re into cozy, slow stitching projects that give off major woodland cabin vibes, then the Deer Needlepoint Cushion Kit from The Fox Collection is definitely worth checking out. I picked this up on a whim because I wanted something calming to work on in the evenings, and honestly—it was the perfect choice.

First off, the design is just beautiful. It features a deer in a rustic setting, with warm earthy tones that make it feel like you’re stitching a little piece of forest calm into your home. It’s not overly complicated or fussy, which I really appreciated. The color palette feels very classic and would fit into almost any cozy home setting—whether you’re a full-blown cabin-core fan or just want to bring a bit of nature indoors.

The kit itself includes everything you need to get started: printed canvas (which makes life so much easier—no counting!), a needle, tapestry wool, and clear instructions. It’s all very beginner-friendly, so even if you haven’t done needlepoint before, you’ll be able to dive right in. The wool comes pre-sorted too, which I love because honestly, the less prep the better.

What I really liked was how meditative the process felt. It uses a simple tent stitch throughout, so once you get into the rhythm, it’s just you, the needle, and a few peaceful hours of creating something with your hands. It’s the kind of project that’s perfect for winding down after a busy day—pop on a podcast or your favorite show and just stitch away.

When it’s finished, the cushion looks amazing. It has that handmade feel but still looks polished and high quality. Just a heads-up: the kit doesn’t come with a backing or insert, so you’ll need to source those separately. I used a deep brown velvet backing and it really made the design pop.

In the end, I’d definitely recommend this kit to anyone who’s craving a creative, relaxing project. It’s great for beginners, perfect for slow crafting days, and makes a beautiful finished piece you’ll actually want to use or gift.

Let me know if you end up stitching it—I’d love to see your version!
