Treat Yourself!

Treat Yourself!

We’d like to propose a new national holiday, and one that should last for at least a week. The seven or so days after Christmas, before New Years, when pure exhaustion has overcome even the perkiest of Santa’s helpers, we think those very elves should treat themselves. We could even call it Treat Yourself Week. Maybe you didn’t get what you wanted after all, or maybe that $20 from grandma is burning a hole in your pocket—whatever the case may be, this is the time to go ahead and get what you want for yourself. Read on for our favorite Pomegranate pieces that will be sure to make you feel “treated”!

No matter how many episodes of The Great British Bake Off we watch, we somehow still can’t get our pies to look as beautiful as the professionals’. Luckily, pies are one of those items that can be bought—and if you’re really sneaky, passed off as your own. All you need is a great local bakery, some online resources (see below), or even a great grocery store. The trick? Make your own homemade whipped cream right before sitting down at the table. A little (or not so little) dollop atop a slice of pie goes a long way. Read on for our top ten favorite shippable pies, plus our tried-and-true whipped cream recipe.

“It isn’t easy being green,” said Kermit, but we beg to differ—especially this time of year. When the grass and trees are still flourishing but the slightest nip can be felt in the air, green feels like the easy choice—so we recolored the classic Pomegranate print with a gorgeous, vibrant shade of it.
