Christmas Gift Ideas

By leanne on December 6, 2005 - 10:08am

There is nothing I like better than giving a gift to someone that I think they will just love. Coming from a big and ever expanding family I happily have a long list of gifts to buy and thought I'd get some ideas from you all and share some of mine:

For the chefs in your family - good knives from Kasumi if you want to splurge or Henckels are a bit more affordable.

For wine lovers - a good wine opener, I think Screwpull is a great one.

For the gals - a day at the spa together is always a treat especially if you can go together.

Tickets - a night out on the town with friends or family are always something to look forward to doing together.

This idea came from Vitamin V magazine:

star bright

Know someone who's a star waiting to be born? For Christmas, you can give them their name in lights.

The Star Registry will name a real star anything you want. Can't decide what their star name should be? You can get them a gift certificate and they can name the star themselves.

In the custom package ($54), the Registry will send a certificate with the star's name, the date, the coordinates and a personalized star chart.

In the deluxe package ($139), they'll send a frame and an official wallet sized card - because your friend needs to be able to prove their star ownership when they're out and about.
