christmas is coming...My favourite gifts to give....

sometimes it's hard to buy for in-laws, your parents or even close friends...one of my favourite gifts is by Sticks and Stones .  

It is a truly uniqure and one of a kind gift for someone's home.  These is a bank of "Alphabet Photography" and you can spell anything you like (a few years ago I gave everyone a framed alphabet photography piece spelling their last name).  You also get to select your frame and matting, too. You can spell naything you like.

and right now, they have a buy one, get one 50% sale - take advantage if you have multiple people to buy for.  We bought one for ourselves and it is above our fireplace mantle.

You can see what the final product will look like, too before you buy.

I also love this as a wedding or anniversary gift.

Christmas is coming....my favourite gifts to give....

It's now December, it's hard to believe but Christmas is only 25 days away!  Have you started your shopping?  I'm going to share my favourite gifts to give this holidays season

Have a wine lover on your list?  try the Corkcicle!  I've purchased this for a number of people on my list including my son;s teachers.  It's easy to use and gets good reviews and is something that most people don't have yet.  It replaces the bulky ice bucket to keep your wine perfectly chilled.  and for the beer lover, try the Chillsner



 Ingeniously simple and conveniently portable, Corkcicle keeps whites and rosés perfectly chilled and bring reds to the optimal drinking temp, without over-cooling or diluting the wine.

Details:

• Made from natural cork and BPA-free plastic, filled with non-toxic freeze gel
• Easy to use: just freeze the Corkcicle and pop it into any uncorked wine bottle
• Slide it part of the way out to pour your wine; when the bottle's empty, rinse the Corkcicle and store it in the freezer until next time
• Keeps chilled wines at the perfect temperature, without the dripping and sloshing of an ice bucket (or the worry of over-chilling)
• Gently cools room-temperature red wines to bring out the subtleties of flavor and bouquet

 One important tip, pour one glass of wine first before inserting the corkcicle, otherwise the wine will spill over
