Lesbo Plate (for XMas Cookies?)

First to recommend

Description

Consider a supercool plate as the foundation for this year's holiday cookie gifts. Once the gourmet treats are gone, your recipient will have something fabulous to remember your gesture by....

Trixiedelicious's Etsy shop has been one of my indulgences of late. I keep popping over and picking up a plate or two, some teacups.... the collection is growing. It's a fabulous hostess or birthday gift and would make a really unique holiday present for someone you know with a sense of humour. Think of making a gift basket with winter warm-ups and a tongue-in-cheek item or two from this shop. Sure to be a hit.

F ckface Teacup and Saucer

First to recommend

Description

For a FABULOUS holiday gift or office Secret Santa present, get an entertaining and unique teacup and saucer (or mug) and fill it with tea and coffee tchotskes (mini-creamers, vanilla-flavored Splenda tubes, chocolate-dipped stirring spoons, gourmet teas and coffee pouches....even a mini-bar sized bottle of Baileys) and then wrap it all up in clear cellophane with funky ribbons. I want one!

I think this exact one sold already but there are many more to choose from on trixiedelicious's most awesome Etsy site.

Mirrored Advent Calendar (Re-Use it a Hundred Ways!)

First to recommend

Description

~Other uses? Trivia Game, Truth or Dare, Lifehacks and NY '09 Resolutions, Chore Chart, Jewelry Organizer..... so much more...~

It's like XMas at Studio 54! "Pass the 'nog, Andy! Powdered sugar for my holiday cookies? No, Bianca, I think I'll pass....."

I'll be honest. When it comes to advent calendars... well.... I'm a whore. Yes. I'm an advent calendar whore.

I can't help it! It's not so much about the countdown for me as it is about all the little nooks and crannies and boxes and pouches containing treasures. I don't care if they're cheap, tacky, ridiculous treasures. The anticipation is delicious.

"Yay, it's a new day! I wonder what piece of crap I get today?" I have been heard to trill as I leap and bound (well, roll and waddle) down the stairs every morning. (The fact that I am the only adult in the house and the one who restocked last season's calendar, and thus am in possession of the Crap 411 ie "What's Inside the Boxes," is something I choose to ignore. That's why I check early in the morning, before caffeine.)

I love this one in particular because it has so many non-advent calendar usages. From creative party food display (fill the boxes with truffles or hors d'oeuvres, leaving some doors open so that people can see what's inside, and set it on the buffet), to a jewelry box (if you're very organized you can print up a list of what numbers correspond to which pieces and attach it to the back) or come up with a game (trivia or Memory perhaps?) to play at an event.

Fun fashion pictures from the 80's (neon, jelly shoes, Aqua Net) that you print in pairs can go behind doors for a Memory-type game. Or type up baby questions or naughty sex truth-or-dare questions for a baby or bridal shower. How about putting a New Year's resolution or lifehack idea into each compartment and opening one a week in 2009? Or favorite quotes/relationship advice for an amazing wedding present?

Whatever. It's all good. Or so says the whore.

Enameled Cast-Iron 6-Quart Dutch Oven

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Wouldn't it look great filled with holiday ornaments to make your kitchen festive? Or put rolled onesies, hats, blankies and diapers into it with a note that says, "Here's for the bun in your Dutch Oven".... Oh god, I'm killing myself with puns. Sad but true.

Caribbean Blue (other colors and pot styles available)

Just add a Dutch Oven Recipe book and a packet or two of gourmet Soup mix, tie pretty ribbons to the lid with a cool mixing spoon and you have a fantastic wedding/engagement/grandma/Christmas/New Home/ hostess gift!

from Amazon:

Product Description
This 6 Qt enamel Dutch oven is great for cooking, marinating, refrigeration and freezing. The color porcelain enamel on cast iron can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. Not recommended for use on outdoor grills or over open outdoor flames. Not for use in microwaves. Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds. The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron. The cast iron vessel has superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating bottom sidewalls and even the lid. Tightly fitting lid seals in moisture. The excellent heat retention reduces the amount of energy needed for cooking. Two layers of very hard, glossy porcelain enamel are chip resistant and easy to clean. Lid knob is oven safe to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The black rim on the pot is matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron. Hygienic porcelain enamel is non-reactive with food. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance. 10 3/4" diameter, 4 1/2" deep. Caribbean Blue
