NOTICE: Now through Dec. 25 Harry and David is offering Free Shipping with the coupon code of "Happy Holidays'. I ordered two pies so I'll let you know how they turn out.
Update 1/5/2011 : Ordered two pies, one for me and one as a gift for Christmas. I made ours and I wasn't as impressed as Oprah but maybe she got a better pie. Don't get me wrong it was good (OK - 3 out of 5) but since I make what I think is a much better pot pie, I win, IMO. It was missing veggies, just chicken and gravy and the chicken seemed more like scraps. I wouldn't want it to be large chunks of chicken but it was so shredded it didn't seem quite right. The crust was really good however with a touch of sweetness. Nothing went to waste but I wouldn't order it again for myself. I would order it again as a gift, especially if it's for someone who doesn't cook or has simple tastes and would prefer a chicken and gravy pot pie. I'll post my recipe and if you purchase a pie you can then make my version and see what you think.
iPad or iPhone Case: If you have one maybe you need something to put it in. Check out the leather cases, in mocha or lime, Item# PK3L7P, iPad is $98 and the iPone is $49 from Orvis
Holder and Pad: Here is another holder for your iPhone or iPod which includes a pad and pen also from Orvis, Item# PK1K26 for $65.
Portable File System: I like this for my mother in law. Currently she has a basket next to the couch with all her papers in it. It's a mess and she can't find what she needs. Having this would make it portable and easy to find what you need. I did a test case for this Christmas got a cheap paper version. If it works out then this will be the upgrade. I hope she finds it helpful. This one is from Grandin Road, Item# 29774 for $99 for two. If it works out the sister in law gets the other.
Rosebud Gloves and Scarf: I thought these were pretty and would make a lovely gift. It is from Catalog Favorites, W27-582 for the gloves at $14.95 and W22-613 for the scarf at $24.95.
