Emily Post's Etiquette (16th Edition)

First to recommend

Description

Originally added to this list in response to a Superbowl contest (see text below), I now realize that this is something I truly need on a daily basis. In the same way as I refer to a dictionary when I am uncertain about the meaning of a word, I need this reference to safely guide me through some of the more challenging moments of modern life.

[This Superbowl could get real ugly. The Giants-Pats rivalry is intense. Be prepared for all types of awkward Superbowl moments with the penultimate guide to etiquette. Gloves off.
Game on.] (via Amazon)

VivaTerra - Shirley Poppy Garden Gift

First to recommend

In this case, the packaging truly is the gift. Although you won't be giving someone a fresh flower arrangement, you will be giving him or her the gift of a garden. A garden which they can decide to plant whenever they choose, using the enclosed instructions. A splendid Valentine ! (A sunflower version is also available.) (via Viva Terra)

VivaTerra - Driftwood Succulent Garden Basket

First to recommend

Description

Right about now I am craving a bit of greenery in my life. Since I have a huge purple thumb, this succulent garden is the perfect solution for my winter doldrums. These plants are as low maintenance as you can get without buying plastic flowers (which is, of course, out of the question !) This would make a wonderful birthday or get-well gift for a faraway friend. (via Viva Terra)
