Attention fans of Boop and Eve’s Road Trip….you will LOVE Whiskey in a Teacup by Reese Witherspoon which is basically a primer for Southern womanhood. This makes a perfect Mother’s Day gift for southern mamas and wanna-be southern mamas. The book itself is full of gorgeous photography of the southern landscape, southern goodies, and Reese herself. It’d look beautiful on a coffee table. Even more than that though, it’s practical because it’s filled with southern recipes, fashion tips, decorating ideas, gift suggestions, and hostessing tips. Its connection to Boop and Eve’s Road Trip isn’t just limited to the South–oh no, Reese includes a dictionary of southern phrases (think Boop translations), a tribute to her grandmother (Boop was inspired by my southern grandma), and, heck y’all, there is even a chapter on road trips. So if you loved Boop and Eve’s Road Trip, then Whiskey in a Teacup is a great companion.
Reese gives quite a few gift-giving tips, but one that really struck me was gifting fun cheese spreaders. As she points out, it’s the kind of item that everyone needs, but rarely buys for themselves. Here is a festive set that would make a terrific gift to go along with the Whiskey in a Teacup. This set of 4 melamine spreaders is even dishwasher safe!
Reese also chats about her admiration of Dolly Parton. Dolly is the epitome of a southern lady. Whiskey in a Teacup shares the inside scoop on Reese’s personal experience with Dolly. As such, this cotton dishtowel would be a great finishing touch to this literary care package.
