Found this cool new product. Great gift idea for new driver, stocking stuffer, gift for graduate, Confirmation, or just an I love you gift. Check out WWW.TENTAGS.COM
My son got one and he keeps it around his rear view mirror of his car. I've mentioned these to several youth ministers and they love the idea.

Julieboo and Jan, thanks for those links! My office "adopted" a Make-a-Wish family for Christmas, the family has 11(!) kids, from Africa/Asia/US, ages from 1-20. One of their requests was for board games but we don't know what they already have... there are sure to be some finds on those sites.

I like the quirky stuff here: http://www.uncommongoods.com

Well I have to boast about my own website, it has some great holiday gift items on it. Along with some great holiday decorations also. Check out my thread over in the marketing thread for a special discount.

So is everyone racing out to start their holiday shopping? Except for MomBlanche and VinBlanche I have all my presents pretty much lined up. Vin is so hard to buy for... how many chess sets does he need? Well I finally got smart. I got him a chess-themed quillow... for his birthday, and a soccer-themed quillow for xmass last year. Actually they are made by a pal's wife.

What is a quillow you ask? It's a blanket that has a pocket, and it folds itself, into itself. Same theory as a pair of socks. He sells them for about 50 bucks... cdn. http://annsquilting.ca
Click on PRODUCTS then click on QUILLOWS.

I am collecting a whole whack of them. So far I have 2 unicorn quillows, and they gave me a cute gopher (at least I think its a gopher, lol) quillow for my b'day! Plus we have the chess and the soccer ones. My favourite one is a fantasy theme quillow that I bought an an auction at a science fiction convention a couple of years ago. (I met Bob and Doreen-Ann at a Science Fiction convention in the States about 10 years ago.) Its beautiful. If I can take a pic of it, I will post it. It's got castles and brave knights and princesses. I keep that one on the couch as a throw.

These pix are from their Website:http://annsquilting.ca

I'm looking at this for a couple of people. I LOVE McMuffin sandwiches and this looks like a great way to make them at home:

My grandson likes egg mcmuffin too. I just bought an egg ring for under $5.00, cook the egg in the frying pan with the egg ring, put cheese on it at the last few seconds, cook sausage or bacon whichever he wants, toast an english muffin and shazam! you have an egg mcmuffin! He loves them. lol

I don't have the egg ring, Cruz, I just fold my egg into a circlish-square! The egg mcmuffin maker is for the 20ish year olds of my friend who can't do anything that even resembles cooking! Gosh, I was never that help/hopeless...

LOL Huk I love how you describe the 20ish year olds'. I know so many of them like that. When I was that age if I couldn't cook for myself I would have starved.

Yeah, Jagger...you'd think cooking an egg mcmuffin was rocket science or something! Duh, cook egg, cook Canadian bacon, toast and butter muffin, add cheese. What part CAN'T you understand, college student! Geesh!

If you saw my body, you'd know I have NEVER had any trouble cooking for myself!

Well, this is not a small gift, in that it costs about $45, but I LOVE it! It essentially boils water quickly.

Anyone who is a tea drinker (like me!) will love it. (I bought it on Amazon.com, but they are currently out of stock. They do have other similar models, though.)

1

Braun AquaExpress Electric Tea Kettle (7 cups)


What do I like about it?

1. The cord stays on the little base, so when you pick up the pitcher, you are free and clear.

2. It boils water very fast and has an automatic shutoff.

3. It has 2 clear elliptical windows (one on each side) that are marked clearly in single increments from 2 to 7 (max) to indicate how many cups of water you've got in the kettle.

4. The pop-up lid (press button) opens wide for easy filling.

5. It sits right on my desk so I never have to get up and run to the kitchen for a cup of tea.


Comments:

It is purposely made with an extremely short cord. That might seem to be a pain, but it forces you to get a heavy duty electrical extension cord (as required) before using this item.

If you are looking for really extravagant Belgian chocolates, check out Leonidas at http://www.Leonidas-Chocolate.com. I discovered these chocolates while in Amsterdam and order from them about twice a year. They also sell little gold boxes of chocolates at most Whole Foods stores. Absolutely to die for the best yummiest chocolates ever! So rich and creamy!

Not necessarily for Christmas, but, the new scents from Downey are delicious. Especially like the dryer sheets/fabric softner Lavender Vanilla fragrance.

Oh, chocolates.. well Sees Candies are wickedly wonderful and their site does a great job of getting your chocolate fix to your front door!

And I got a free sample once from DansChocolates and they are always letting me know about sales! Good chocolates, too.

I'm trying really really hard to not click that link, Costa!

Not for holiday shopping, but my friend is marketing her nutritional bars on ebay for a week. She has 2000 to sell. I bought one to get it started but they aren't moving. I would never think to buy food on ebay. I will vouch for these though. They are incredibly delicious and very filling! She is such a hard worker and a very giving person in the community. I just thought I'd put a plug in here, in case anyone might like to try them. She will be putting up a website sometime soon. Thanks for checking it out.

There is just no comparison, Sees Chocolates versus Leonidas. Seriously.

I bought the Breakfast Sandwich Maker thingie for my dad and his wife. For Xmas. It's a dud. It takes about 10 minutes or so, just to make ONE. I guess it would be great if you lived alone and only ate one. But my father eats two of these things, and it takes Annie a half hour just to make 'em breakfast. Even making one, wrapping it in foil and sticking it in her warmer, it's more work than it's worth.

I'm not sure I'll be able to take it back. If anyone is interested, I'll sell it to you at a discount. I think they've only used it twice.

I'd keep it but... I barely have enough room for all the kitchen appliances I already have (and use). And I don't eat meat, so it's really only gonna toast a muffin/bread and poach an egg.
