Nancy Drew: Twelve Classic Covers from America's Favorite Teenage Sleuth (Magnetic Postcards)

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I enjoyed reading the Nancy Drew books when I was a preteen, so I enjoyed the "blast from the past" when I came across these cool retro magnetic postcards. (I was secretly relieved I wasn't expected to share them with anyone else -- or at least I don't think they're meant to share. Gulp.) (via Author Incubator: Gifts for Writers)

Miniature Newspaper Art Pins from Carolyn Forsman

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

What a cool idea -- to turn yesterday's news into today's art (or, to be more specific, a miniature newspaper that can be pinned to your sweater and worn as a piece of art). It's just one of the many creative inspirations awaiting you in Carolyn Forsman's very aptly named "Conversation Pieces" collection.

Zyliss Swivel Peeler

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I hated peeling potatoes and carrots until I discovered this vegetable peeler. It's the only one I've ever come across that actually allows me to peel large quantities of vegetables without getting cramps in my hand. If you're going to be doing batch cooking or making large quantities of baby food, this is the one to get. Highly recommended.
