Looking for a great gift but you are out of ideas. Here are some of my favorite things, purchased for myself and for others along with a list of possible ideas that I'm thinking about for an upcoming occasion.
I get quite a few catalog's in the mail. I enjoy paging through the catalogs vs. going on line. I know I can be greener by going on line but there is something about ripping out the pages of all the things I want to purchase and filing them in a pile of things I may never buy. I use to get more magazines but in an effort to reduce the waste I have removed myself from some mailing lists. If I could quit going through the hard copies of catalogs I could reduce the amount of paper clutter I need to deal with but I enjoy it too much right now. It's nice to dream. Maybe if I add a lot of these items to my blog it could be my reference vs. hanging onto so much paper. I'll see but I'm not promising anything.
To view all my favorite things look under the label "Gifts", to the right. Since it's getting closer to Christmas if I find other things during the week I will post them on Thur and Fri since these are days where I don't post something on a regular basis. As always Saturday will continue to be gift day.
Here are some sites that I frequently check out or places I receive catalog's from. I have wish lists for the sites with an * to make it easier for hubby to shop for me.
Amazon: Everything *
Cooking: Kitchen items *
Chefs Catalog: Kitchen items *
William Sonoma: Kitchen items
FrontGate: Items for you home. Some items are pricy but watch for the sales.
Mountain Rose Herbs: Herbs and Essential Oils *
