Zen Rabbit Cookies

First to recommend

Description

I love cookies. I do not discriminate (well maybe against ones with nuts) so when I received a box of the Zen Rabbit cookies I tore into them with glee. What would they taste like? Would they really be all that the site testimonials said?

A big fan of the butter cookie the Zen Rabbit cookies remind me of a gourmet fortune butter cookie...that's flat...and perfectly crispy..and that doesn't really taste like a fortune cookie. They come individually wrapped so good for portion control and for freshness. The light airy taste smacks of traditional Norwegian cookies like Sunkaga,Yulekaga & Krumkaga, cookies I've helped make from scratch and that take alllll day to do.

Packaging is simple yet classy. Order some up for a holiday party, for your next BBQ, for family or clients.

Clear Shoe Boxes

First to recommend

Description

My name is Nicole and I am a shoeaholic. I know many who share my addiction. Years ago I kept the majority of my shoes (heels, boots) in the boxes they came in with a polaroid attached to the front for easy identification. I had one friend who teased me and another that understood completely.

JoAnn is also a shoeaholic. We'd often take a weekend day and hit up some favorite shops in SF, incluing a must visit to DSW for the clearance section. One Christmas Jo gave me one of the best presents I've ever received- a case of these shoe boxes from The Container Store. 20 boxes went quickly but I loved the clean new look in my closet and how much easier it was to view all my options. Now all my shoes are in stored in these.

So if you know a shoeaholic and their closet isn't already filled with these, pick a case up for Christmas. They're even on sale for $35!

*Tip: The men's sized shoe boxes are the perfect width for storing ankle boots, or a couple pairs of flats.

*Tip 2: I also use them for storage under my small bathroom sink. Easy to stack and easy to peer what's inside without tearing everything apart.

Snowmen: Single Sheet Wrapping Paper

First to recommend

Description

Thanks to Jess, I stumbled upon Papersource.com. I clicked through to pick up some funky designed sheets as gifts for family members. A trait I inherited from my mother is to always have nice paper laying around because it makes a special touch on a gift for someone you care about. Take pride in your packaging!

I ended up with 20 sheets and spent about 15 minutes looking at the japanese prints alone. (via Jess)

Ice Cream Ball (Quart)

29 people recommended this item

Description

Have your guests do a little work for their dessert by making ice cream maker in the Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker. Just don't let them get the Ice Cream Maker confused with a beach ball and throw it in the pool!

Once the ice cream is frozen, serve in hollowed out orange peels. (via CNN Living)

Murano Wine Stopper

First to recommend

Description

Lovely, unique and memorable. I have several wine stoppers and all come in handy, especially after a party and several different bottles have been opened. And, it's Murano to boot.

Great gift for an avid griller! Love how it doesn't hang over the end of the plate like the stick models.

Mingle Plates

First to recommend

Description

No one likes juggling appetizers, wine glass and handshakes. Keep one hand free and your wine always near by. No more setting it down and walking away. Affordable and useful!
