Give The Gift of Edible Romance

Dean and DeLuca are the premier purveyors of everything gourmet, so why not give your favorite bride and groom a picnic basket and pack it with goodies from your local D&D store?  They have a selection of great food to choose from, just visit their stores or their web site. Then pack it up in a pretty basket.

Warm Me Up!

Sherpa Micromink Blanket...oh my GOD! These blankets are to die for!  I buy them for friends, I buy them for family, I buy them for ME! If you are like me and have thin blood and are ALWAYS cold in the winter time this blanket is a must have!  One for the bed, one for the couch in the living room, one for the media room... I've always loved fleece blankets but these Sherpa Microminks are the best I've ever found.  And not only that, right now they're on sale at jcpenney.  I got mine (a brand new queen size blanket, usually around $100 online for $39.99 plus tax. Then I used a coupon code for an additional $10 (the coupon code was FALLSALE).  I had it delivered to the store where I'll pick it up, so no shipping costs. 

I am tempted to buy out the supply just to have wedding gifts on hand for the next ten years! Oh, who am I kidding, they're for me, I just know the next time I want one they won't be selling them anymore! So grab one now, for you, for a friend getting married, for Christmas gifts--they're warm and comfy and make a perfect gift! BTW, they come in throw sizes as well, on sale, originally $50 for $19.99 (no coupon code, you need to spend $25 to use that). 

Wooden Placemats - Laser Cut Perfection

Designer Sarah Finn used high tech woodworking to laser cut pieces of wood veneer.  Use them as place mats or as a centerpiece on a hall table or buffet.  Not in the market for a place mat? Consider framing them and hanging them on your wall or using them as a frame for a collage of wedding photos.  I never thought I'd say place mats were romantic, but  these are.  They are the perfect wedding gifts or shower gifts.  If you're looking for something smaller, Sarah also designs a set of four coasters.  The coasters are available at Hygge.com.
