One of my favorite gifts to give is a beautiful old book, perfectly suited to the person receiving it. It’s not an easy purchase and you have to know the recipient well. But vintage covers are so gorgeous, and with this presentation, there’s no way you can go wrong.
I wish I were a baker, I really do. Because how awesome would it have been to bake up a huge batch of holiday cookies and wrap them up in these woodgrain tins with big red bows on top? Damn. Maybe next year. Ooh, then I could throw a Very Merry Cookie Party, too! Definitely next year.
When I was a child, my grandparents sent us a box of Harry & David pears every Christmas and I’ve been spoiled ever since. I don’t even bother buying pears at the grocery store anymore, because they are always a disappointment. For today’s catalog-themed splurge, I’m going all out and putting in my order for the 12-Month Organic (!) Fruit-of-the-Month Club Collection. Pears, pineapples, apricots, peaches, avocados… something divine every month of the year. YUM.
