Our Top 10 Gift List for the Guy in Your Life

Posted by Liza on Nov 22, 2009 in Gifts

Men. They are so hard to shop for. You can’t just pick up some jewelry or lip gloss. On top of that, when most men see something they really want, they just BUY it. We women sometimes do but we are far savvier about playing the gift card. Liza: Hmmmm, I’ll pass on that today, but I’ll be sure to tell Jay that I would love that under the tree….

‘Tis the Season….Have You Noticed?

My dear friend Kathy sent me an email reminding me about The Beveled Edge Holiday Open House on Thursday. I have to admit that I just wasn’t feeling up to par so I wasn’t too excited to check it out, but I did. Thank goodness I did. Just being in that store brightened every last bit of bad mood that’s been lingering in my body since Monday. I felt just Ho hO HO merry...

Delight.com: A Great Website for Gifts

Posted by Elizabeth on Nov 2, 2009 in Gifts

With the change from daylight savings time, and the start of November, I find some fear creeping up within me. For instance, I ran into Target to grab some last-minute Halloween candy and there it was in all its glory: a complete display of holiday paraphernalia– trees, tinsel, lights, tea towels, even some reindeer antlers for your dog.
